I've been listening to Styx a bit lately, and while he could very well be right that the polls are cooked, he could also be underestimating TDS.

I know a few people who are so deranged, trying to find any possible excuse to vote against Trump, that they've even gone so far as to-- in their brains-- not only make this election a referendum on the vice-presidential tickets, but to somehow contort themselves into a pretzel by claiming that Cameltoe is somehow preferable to Pence!

Lots of women don't like Pence because he doesn't support brutally murdering unborn babies and then vacuuming the body part remains out of the womb-- I get it, and the Democrat politicians feed off of that mass "I want abortion as birth control so I can lead an irresponsible, immoral, profligate bar-hopping one-night-stand lifestyle so common with young women like me these days" sentiment. That's the heart of why the mainstream media dumps on Pence, and why he has a negative reputation among some voters. Abortion is a massive special interests power lever for the Democrats.

But even for people who somehow favor abortion, Cameltoe has far more views and actual historical actions which that same abortion-loving crowd would undoubtedly find highly objectionable-- such as massive penalties for petty drug possession or suppressing evidence which would set innocent people free. Not only that, but when put up against Pence in absolutely any other regard-- statesman-like qualities, temperament, experience, and job qualifications just to name a few-- the two aren't even on the same planet. Thinking that Cameltoe is somehow the better vice-presidential material is insane.

So back to Styx then: the TDS pandemic is very real. If it's so potent that people will resort to this degree of mental gymnastics, then all bets are off. The only hope is that it's not as widespread as I fear it may be.
