Debate Preview & Karl Rove on the Electoral College
A table-setter and conversation like no other….
See below for the WORLD EXCLUSIVE WIDE WORLD OF NEWS CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE PREVIEW ®!!
But first…
At 6pm ET tomorrow (Wednesday, June 25), please join the 2WAY community for a live special class taught by noted Professor Karl C. Rove on Electoral College 101.
The debates, Trump’s VP pick, the conventions, the ads, the polls, Mike Donilon’s mood, Chris LaCivita’s to-do list – those are all factors that would seem to matter quite a bit.
But, in the end, it is all about the Electoral College.
And no one talks “E-College” like Texas’ own Mr. Rove.
You can join and participate with questions for Karl via Zoom – or watch live on YouTube.
Either way, you will be treated to a masterful overview of how to understand the battles for the swing states generally and then a look at each of the current battlegrounds.
Trust me – I’ve heard Karl run through states like this, both his brain and mouth working double time. By the end, you will have a PhD from the only college that matters this year.
We will talk voter registration, early vote, media markets, candidate travel, historical trends, geography, demography, and much more.
This event is free and open to all.
So go ahead and invite your networks, your friends, and your parents.
I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you are, too.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE WIDE WORLD OF NEWS CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE PREVIEW ®
[Please note: Precisely half of these are true.]
1. You should fully discount the words of any anchor who asks a political analyst or strategist on the day of the debate “What does Joe Biden (or Donald Trump) need to do tonight on that stage?”
2. During the debate, the best way to get a bead on how the media is perceiving the action is to read the rolling changes in what the Associated Press is leading its updated dispatches with.
3. X is no more real life during a presidential debate than it is at any other given moment.
4. If you want to try to figure out who is winning, don’t talk during the debate; listen. Even your very best jokes can wait until afterwards.
5. The candidate who comes the closest to saying on the stage, “They want this election to be about my yesterdays, and I want it to be about your family’s tomorrows” is going to win the debate (and, likely, the election).
6. Don’t text Mark Halperin during the debate to ask “How do you think it’s going?”
7. Snap polls are generally for spin, not for telling you anything about who “won” the debate or if the polls will change because of the debate.
8. Focus groups whose participants are not chosen with rigor should be at least somewhat discounted.
9. Any anchor who asks a political analyst after the debate, “Did Joe Biden (or Donald Trump) do what he had to do tonight?” should be hailed as a genius.
10. Unless there’s a gladiatorial moment or two (with a clear beneficiary) or a major gaffe or two (with a clear loser), the “winner” of the event is determined not during the 90 minutes of the debate but in the spin wars that will take place during the 90 hours afterwards.
