He knows that CNN is no longer giving him the kid gloves treatment.
I drove through and stayed a couple of days in Mississippi back in January for a wedding right in the middle of the Mississippi Delta and man... what a tragic place. I've never seen anywhere more horrifyingly stuck in the past and so prone to self-inflicted wounds. Pretty much everywhere aside from the like two college towns is hemorrhaging money and schools, infrastructure, support programs, etc are suffering worse than anything I've seen at home (Missouri). They just continue to vote for lower taxes and continue to elect horrific candidates that actually manage to make things worse for them. The people there have absolutely clue how self-destructive they are. At least Kansas has learned its lesson (a bit) when it comes to extremely conservative elected officials. Mississippi is caught in a vicious cycle unlike anything I've ever seen.
It's easy to make fun of it for sure, but it really is a sad situation down there. I pity them. Hopefully the DNC eventually devotes significant resources to educating regions like this. Try to make these people understand that it would be in their best interests to vote liberal. Honestly, they should employ that strategy in every rural state/region.
I'm thinking at this point that if trump gets low enough latino support in states with a lot of latino voters he may not even break 18% of the latino vote and end up in the record books for the lowest share of the latino vote nationally in 40 years.
They're hitting him hard on the Putin praise this morning. Russian TV is even trending on twitter now.

I can tell you when I worked there during college I was generally the only person who knew what the fuck he was doing.
I just tried to see if I could find anything by googling Meghan McCain Hillary, nothing from today came up but her political views have been utterly delusional this whole cycle.
Article about Fiorina "warming up" Cruz lol
And then of course "the party I knew is dead!" No, your father killed your party when he picked woman Trump as his VP. You just showed up for the funeral honey.
I've been there many times where the individual manning the register was extremely sluggish.
I understand it's mininum wage and you hate it and you need the money, but come on... At least fix the stank face.

I think its also because of the CNN documentary on the 2 candidates.
Clinton's was balanced.
Trump's was a recap of all the shit he's done through out his life, and people from his past dissing him.

Well I was never particularly happy to be there lol
I just compensated for my resting bitch face by being a competent employee. Incidentally my dad found out about Wellstone's death in 2002 from an extremely disgruntled and upset Burger King employee
Btw never tell an employee to smile

Latino polling in AZ, CO, FL, NV coming up.
That's because outside of his kids he treats everyone like shit.
I thought it was funny how they got Peter King on camera to say nice things about Hillary for her's.

Trump +6 in Louisiana, 46-40.
It was from a segment on Outnumbered yesterday. Interesting that it doesn't show up on google. It's trending on Facebook due to their new hands-free system that allows fringe sites to bubble up into the trends.

That Burr/Ross number doesn't seem to jive with their Clinton/Trump results (presumably from the same polling sample). Burr's always run about 4 points ahead of Trump on average.
There's not much the congressional chamber leaders can do at a macro level to influence the results right now-there's just no oxygen in the press for them with people like Hillary and Trump around.

He's currently scared shitless at the thought that he might have to break the Hastert Rule to get a clean Zika bill passed.
It kind of baffles me how many Trump supports ignore this considering the majority of his voting base grew up during the cold war era...

Mississippi will always look like this until we get our own JBE down here (c'mon Jim Hood, fucking run!). Economically, you're correct that people here are self-destructive, but they aren't voting against their interests. Everything down here is viewed socially. If you're pro-choice in MS, you won't get elected as a dogcatcher, let alone a state position. Gay marriage? Hell no. Gun restrictions? Hell no. Etc...
People here actually aren't opposed to economic liberal policy (as long as they don't find out it's liberal!) but if you're not right-wing socially, you aren't welcome here.
Yeah, that's in one of the most popular hangouts too. Imagine me growing up in rural Mississippi. 30 minutes to drive to fucking Walmart.
And people who haven't been down here in MS, AL, LA, etc.. really can't comprehend to terrible heat. You never get used to it. It's blazing hot until October (if you're lucky, sometimes later). The humidity makes you feel like you're swimming. One of the most accurate portrayals of what Southern people look like is in the movie A Time to Kill, because every single person in the whole film is glistening with sweat. I tell people that move here not to feel self-conscious about it (some of them even re-apply deodorant like 6 times a day and bring multiple shirts to work); no one notices because we're all sweating like crazy.

Hastert rule is legislative poison and needs to die. He should just bury it for good.
It's fitting that the golden rule of the GOP leadership is named after a serial pedophiliac sexual abuser

Ryan doesn't decide. If ithe electoral college throws it to the House, the House votes by state delegation. Republicans control state delegations by a wide margin (not sure what, but it's north of 30 out of 50). He wouldn't be able to overcome that even if he wanted to, which he wouldn't do anyway on Supreme Court picks alone.
Oh my god if the pollster who did this poll is reputable.
It's not surprising at all. They generally viewed military might and a certain amount of authoritarianism and projection of force, at least on the international field, as the way to go. Space race, nukes, Vietnam, Berlin/Germany, Cuba and so forth.
Putin is doing just that in Syria, Ukraine while the US is not, instead relying of supporting local forces. So the one viewed as having the strength is Russia. Nevermind what's "right", it's the perception.

I thought in the event of an electoral college tie, the Speaker is the tie breaker?
It still seems dumb to me that the system would even allow for a tie... give DC one extra vote or something to balance it out.

Trump 12% of Latino vote in Nevada, 71% very unfavorable.

It's quite possible that a potential tie would be avoided by an elector not voting for Trump. They aren't all bound, are they?

No, it's by House delegations. The GOP Reps would just ignore Ryan since all he gets is a single vote within the Wisconsin delegation to choose that state's vote. This is the rule for any situation where no candidate hits 270.
Trump's probably going to do very well in the rural areas, but he's probably going to do awful in urban areas in that state.
I can only imagine the uproar from them if it was Hillary. They keep trying to bring up the Russian reset but there's a difference between trying to improve relations and ass-kissing a ruthless strongman.
Possibly, but they'd have to also vote for Clinton for the House to not get involved. And as far as perceived illegitimacy goes, that'd be about as bad as it gets.
