As Harris surges in the polls, Republicans express disbelief

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and GOP Rep. Richard McCormick of Georgia were baffled Thursday over a Cook Political Report survey that shows Vice President Kamala Harris tied with Donald Trump in Georgia.

"I'm surprised that the two are tied and so close across the country, including in Georgia,” Bartiromo said.

McCormick echoed her confusion. "I'm not really sure where these statistics are coming from, where these polling numbers are coming from, but it's very surprising to me, too."

Here’s where those numbers are coming from:

1. This is what happens when you live in an echo chamber.

Where only propaganda and one viewpoint are allowed.

[Midnight Writer]

5. Exactly.

Pro tip: When you are dealing shit, never get hooked on your own product.

[Irish_Dem]

8. And never believe your own hype.

Many GOPers make this mistake.

They think all the bought for press, media hype, aggrandizing lies about them are all true.
They have let it go to their heads and have huge egos.

None of it is personal, it is just business.

They don't know that.

9. Polls are surging because people Hate Dump. Women, young voters, people of color, senors etc !!!!!

We hate his guts and we want him GONE from planet earth

11. Add suckers and losers to the list

[Meadowoak]

2. yeah, I can't believe it either, I think Kamala is way ahead, not just tied.

[CrispyQ]

4. I was listening to Steve Van Zandt's radio

show a while back and that hateful Maria Bartiromo popped up as a celebrity to talk about the show being the coolest place on the radio. I know Little Steven is a real leftist and an activist, but that 30 seconds of this harpy's voice crushed my whole vibe for that evening's show.

Horrible woman!

14. Maria Is a "B" Level Network Talking Head - at Best

Been reading the book "The Fall, The End of Fox News". The author says that when Fox hired her away from CNBC, she thought she was getting a prime time slot on Fox News. Turns out that Roger Ailes didn't think her looks fit his prime time visions, so they stuck her on Fox Business. The author says she just likes to hobnob with rich CEOs at places like Davos or Aspen, with no real talent beyond that.

17. She is apparently friends with Little Steven

Which I find hard to understand. I guess I am not a mature enough thinker to put right wing fanaticism aside when choosing friends.

6. Americans are deciding they don't want an incoherently babbling madman, who's filed bankruptcy six times

To be the leader of the free world. For anyone with half a brain, Trump is a truly awful businessman. If business reporters are surprised, something is seriously wrong with them. Filing bankruptcy that many times, in and of itself, should be a dealbreaker.

7. Welcome to the world outside your bubble.

Try to learn something, ok?

[Botany]

10. When you have to step outside of your ..

.... bubble and reality hits you like a ton of
bricks you will hurt. This AM as I channel surfed from MSNBC 53 to the weather channel
63 I hit Fox News and did you know that in
South America where they have the kind of economic policies that V.P. Harris is proposing
women have to sell their bodies to buy food in neighboring countries?

12. Cook (your goose) survey:

Dear Maria Fartaroma - believe it! You too, Rep-Dick-Mick of Georgia!

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Anyrhing that baffles Bartiromo

is fine with me!

[dchill]

15. Maria Bartiromo got high on her own supply.

There really are no alternative facts. She's breathing the same atmosphere as Jesse Watters - who proclaims that men who vote for Kamala Harris will "transition into women" - among other crudely insane things.

[SWBTATTReg]

16. Disbelief? Where have the idiot repugs been over the last few years or so? They seen what the moron is like, that he's

a toxic waste dump site, he's bankrupt, he is corrupt to the core, he's stupid, and I could go on.

Idiots. Open your damn eyes.

[Skittles]

18. IT IS GLORIOUS TO WATCH

YES INDEED

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

19. That they "can't believe" it's true...

... makes me think they have addiction problems or some serious mental syndrome.
