This article just strikes me as an example of how half assed the Trump campaign is this fall, and given that, in some ways, it is miraculous the staying power he has had, but in some it is just downright scary.
The Cliff's notes: Russian media botched the interpretation of a WikiLeak e-mail from Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal. Trump picked up on the bad info and spread it at a rally. (In reality, all Blumenthal did here was forward an article written by Eichenwald.) http://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-put...sputnik-508635 Last edited by digamma : 10-11-2016 at 06:01 AM. |

Talking shit about Trump just feels like piling on right now. This election is going to be a landslide.

Latest 538 projections have the election victory being an 84% chance for Clinton and 16% for Trump. Clinton has a 60%+ chance of winning in Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida (where it's over 70% chance). And there are just 4 weeks left for Trump to try to reverse this.

It'll naturally reverse back toward the previous norm. Watch & see. That may not win the election -- I've said it was turnout all along & I'm not changing that -- but the poll bounce doesn't feel like an indicator at all to me. He's still within the Brexit error window, watch & see.

This has been the trend line since September 26th (going more and more towards Clinton). I don't see a 'previous norm' for it to return to as well.

Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don't know how to win - I will teach them! Crooked Hillary right now. |

Since Trump himself tweeted from an Android phone, can't we just chip in and buy him a note 7? He seems content to burn everything to the ground anyway.

I wouldn't count this election in the bag yet for HRC. Trump supporters will come out to vote even if he's projected to lose, but the folks that are anti-Trump may stay home based on all the polls showing he is going to lose. Low turn out could really hurt her chances.

So, sold off at 20/21, but then saw an opening in a proxy market (shares of "will next Pres be a woman - NO) and I'm back on at 19 there. I still feel like this smooths out some. Our system just doesn't put up with a runaway. |

If it comes to turnout, then Hillary is sure to win due to her superior ground game.

And the fact that her corrupt machine will rig the election. Dead voters, felon voters, probably some underage ones too.

Someone needs to tell Clinton's spokesperson (Brian Fallon) to stop picking fights with Wikileaks. Honestly, I don't see any way that Trump wins if Clinton and her crew just shut up and take the high road. Yet they continue to somehow find a way to drag themselves into the mud-slinging.
Just shut up already! You're going to win barring you doing something stupid! |

Interesting. I find the concept amusing, but I have to think that if the roles were reversed, we'd have over-sensitive liberals flipping out about the concept of this game.

Of course it's not in the bag yet. But poor turnout for Hillary won't be the reason Trump wins. Some kind of news going against her changing voters minds will be.

Now he's going after McCain again. Time to see how many House and Senate seats he can take with him.
I don't think the Clinton's would have been able to get him to do close to this much damage if he were their sleeper candidate. |

Republicans are hanging their hat on this LA Times/USC poll that still has Trump ahead by 2.

A superior ground game won't overcome a highly flawed and disliked candidate. If people are really scared of Trump, it will work. However, I know a lot of voters who are just in angst over both candidates, and don't see one better over another. |

The GOP is in a tough spot. They or the congressional members didn't pick Trump, the voters did. Do they piss of their base and risk losing long-term support (and seats)? Without the base, you have nothing. With the base, you dramatically limited your ability to win, and with each election cycle, that base becomes proportionally smaller in terms of votes and voting power. It also shows the GOP has been out-of-touch with who their base really is and wants. Either way, they're screwed. Last edited by Galaxy : 10-11-2016 at 01:38 PM. |

It's interesting that the drug question hasn't come up, given it was a focus for Clinton, Bush and to some extent Obama.

Megyn Kelly had Huckabee on and he was comparing Trump to Captain Quint from Jaws and said Hillary was the shark from Jaws. Megyn had to remind him that the shark ate Quint.

Are Trump voters the GOP base? By the end of the second Super Tuesday, he had won 19 state primaries, but only 5 of those were closed. Prior to the roll he got on when the race was whittled down to just 3 candidates, his pull was coming from places where there was at least the possibility that those voting for him weren't standard GOP voters. |

Yeah, I'd say Carson's political career is over too, but he never had one. Like I said, he & Jill Stein are doing a great job proving that even elite educated medical doctors can completely lack common sense.
Btw, I have heard people use phrasing similar to what Trump used & I've been in locker rooms/sidelines around teenage boys, so I couldn't figure out what was off here until I realized that as much as they say crude & at times immature/misogynistic things it's almost all centered on "that girl's so hot" "i want to/you should bang her dude" etc. Where I've heard people talk like Trump on that tape isn't in locker rooms, it's at country clubs and business lunches/after hours networking. I suppose frat houses might also fit, but I always avoided that crowd (and they weren't big at UMass.) |

Maine Gov. Paul LePage: Maybe the country needs Trump to show 'authoritarian power' - CNNPolitics.com
Quote:
So if I'm following LePage's logic correctly, we're slipping into anarchy because we have Obama who been ignoring congress doing what he wants, and as a result we need an authoritarian using their power to do what they want. Right. I guess that's what I should expect from someone who has so far this year said that people of color are the enemy who should be shot at and bemoaned how they were coming into the state and getting young white girls pregnant.

That's actually a tame media appearance by that nutcase. Maine's actually a pretty weird place. Everything from the NH border to about 30 min north of Portland (and maybe a pocket or two around Bar Harbor) is typical northeastern liberal, then the other 80% of the state by area is full of hicks with some French-Canadian inflections thrown in. They should just give people who own vacation property there full voting rights since we're probably paying half the real estate taxes anyways
