After Labor Day/Conventions Polls will be informative.

Since I’m an old guy (first vote was for Carter), I’ve learned not to get too excited or depressed about summer polling.
It’s really after Labor Day and both conventions that I really get all Susan Collins (concerned).
My hope is to see our ticket with a ten point national and five point battleground states lead after Labor Day.

Of course, no matter what the polls say (good or bad), we must all work like there’s no tomorrow.

Our goals:
Win the Electoral College big.
Win the Popular Vote big.
Take back the Senate.
Increase our House advantage.
Win back some statehouse Governorships and State Legislature’s.

We must all:
Register people
Donate
Volunteer
Win Everywhere!

I will be paying less attention to the polls after Labor Day because I'll be busy working like a crazy woman to get people registered and getting out the vote. We must win BIG! We must make it clear to the racists in our country that they are in the minority, not the majority. Push them back under their rocks again.

The polls are good to look at, just don't let them lull you into a false sense of security. I know I've been beating that drum for a long time, but I mean it. That was our downfall in 2016, along with the ones who chose to take their toys and go home because their candidate did not win the nomination. The country is at stake this time, nothing less.
