While millions will still vote for the Republican candidate, perhaps hating immigrants more than they love reproductive rights, the only certainty at this point is that many millions more will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. In the latest ABC News/Ipsos national poll, the Democrat enjoyed a 14% advantage with women over Trump; among women with a college degree, that number rose to 23%; among women voters under 40, it rocketed to 34%.

That, in turn, is causing some MAGA commentators to break from their usual posture of feigned confidence to outright panic.

“Early vote has been disproportionately female,” Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA and helping to lead the Trump campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort, posted on social media. “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.”

    Some numbers guy political consultant said “This is the best way to turn out votes in the last week of the election” and a bunch of campaigns believed it.

    It’s all just consultant Voodoo. Whomever wins still have described the signs and rituals one must perform to become President, and then everyone else will try to do the same thing four years from now.

      I mean he’s getting paid by a known moron. You could sell him glitter foundation and he would go out looking like a disco ball.
