While we're waiting... Trump takes the lead


Walt is busily checking out his TV setup to make sure he'll be able to see tomorrow night's Clash of the Titan and the Titty on ABC-TV, the network once famous for Wide Wide World of Sports (how appropriate for a political debate), and now well known for being 100% trustworthy in all matters political. Depending, of course, on who's doing the trusting.

The ABC TV guide listing for the Great Debate says: "Convicted felon lies repeatedly defending himself against attack by champion of truth, justice and diversity. Hilarity ensures." 

While you're waiting for the barrel o' laughs to begin, you might get a chuckle out of this item: "Harris Campaign Admits Tim Walz Was The Only Candidate That Answered Their Craigslist Ad"... from our friends at the Babylon Bee, of course.

The Harris campaign team won't see the humour in that story, as they contemplate the latest results from the Daily Mail election prediction model. As they reported today, the latest polls have tilted in President Trump's direction, giving him a decisive lead over the Cackler the day before they go head to head on the debate stage.

The algorithms show the Donald with a 55% chance of being re-elected, a 4.5-point boost since last week. Today's result comes hard on the heels of a New York Times/Siena College poll giving Mr Trump a one-point lead at the weekend. Will the debate make any difference? We'll see. Is it likely to be entertaining. Absolutely!
