Better than having to explain to people what 'web inspector' is and can do.
I've been meaning to mess around with this for a while.

I didn't even realize that Obama only (only, lol) won CA by 23 in 12.
He won it by 24 in 08 also if I recall.

Its not like a VP candidate refused to call the leader of the KKK deplorable or that there was violence at a trump rally or that he continues to lie

Kaine's donation everyone freaked out about never became an issue. Neither did all of the homophobic shit Pence has done and said either tho to be fair.

VPs having much effect on the race is the exception, not the rule. It just goes to show how bad of a trainwreck Palin was.
Both the Times and the Post went with the summary that her campaign had been "set back" or "damaged" by the health stuff. Which may very well be true, but there's no way to objectively measure that without opinion polling; it's pure punditry. In a weird way it reminds me of the "this will be the gaffe that destroys Trump" proclamations of the primary season.

Are Pence's comments getting attention anywhere? I can't find a single story on any of the big news sites I've checked.

All of this will come up when they debate though (and be promptly forgotten in like 3 days, but it'll take up some headlines).

People are underscoring the possible benefits of Pneumonia gate tho. Donald getting murked by a sickly old woman on national tv will look even more awful for him than it would have before and she's gonna actually be an under dog in the debates for the first time this cycle.
It's possible trump does not break 30% at all in Cali.Also, if I recall the person who got the highest share of the vote ever in California was FDR. I think hilary can beat FDR's vote share in Cali if she is lucky.

I still feel like the media and the general public aren't in sync with this pneumonia thing. Only those inside the beltway and various insiders are the ones freaking out over it in one way or the other, it seems.
The Clinton Rule is on full display the past few days, it's disgusting.

Ha you can tell when Clinton just lost when Cooper asked her doesn't this incident prove she's not honest and trustworthy.
She better have a God as press secretary lined up.

FDR got nearly 67% of the vote in California in 1936 and carried every county. This was indeed the largest vote share any presidential candidate has received in California, though on a few occasions other candidates have come close.
The infamous Literary Digest poll predicted that Alf Landon would carry the state with 54% of the two-party vote. Guess it needed some unskewing. Gallup got the winner right in California, but still underestimated FDR's vote share.
I don't know who that is, but Mitch Stewart from Obama's campaign said the exact same thing last week on keepin it 1600.

I'm all about some social engineering.
Do we want to condition people to make decisions based on emotions even though those might be 'better' decisions?
Could be a short-term gain, but a long-term loss.

Studies that take place over such short time periods are worthless except for suggesting which long-term studies should be pursued.
So we'll see in the next two years if this effect is real.

She ran against Gillibrand too!
I know, that's part of why I'm so shocked they managed to talk her into it. They must have promised to help with her old debts from the last race or something.

I like how all the concern trolling about Clintons pneumonia seems to have the effect of people being concerned about her.

This is backwards. Every decision is based on emotion you can't avoid that

Compared to absolutely every other Hillary stumble/scandal/screwup of the campaign that I'm likely to panic about, I'm taking the Deplorables thing as almost a non-thing. This is not logical.
I realized it's Gamergate. I'm too used to the alt-right crap. I know the lingo, I know the memes, I know their typical tactics, fucking Pepe, I know their preferred language and attack methods. It's not at all new to me for these people to be flagged as all-around miserable human beings. No irony needed, no exaggerations, it's simply a factual statement to me.
The average voter has no freaking clue how awful that segment of the Trump base is. Like nooooooo clue. Hell, I'd say even the more casual poster or lurker here doesn't know how deep this goes. Even if you sat them down to explain it and showed them all the receipts, they'd never think there could be people that downright terrible floating around that are allowed to vote. The more it gets exposed, the more it'll click with people. One of the most predictable tendencies of the alt-right is for it make complete fools of themselves, and, lo and behold, they're already making a lovely effort of that. Even better, they're proud of themselves! The reaction on Reddit was proof--On Sunday the dominant discussion was Hillary's health and not the thing she said that, one would think, would infuriate them all.
So explaining this concept to my parents and some friends have them confused. They're all in a panic. The media lacks the perspective, too. People say her statement was too broad or a gaffe, but it was quite careful. Even the non-apology clarification was that she didn't mean half; She still entirely meant what she said at its core. Even if Hillary herself and the campaign don't understand it, they said the absolute perfect thing. It just needs a bit more time to play out. Even without her campaigning for a few days it's already started to turn around.

And those who can are sociopaths.
It's the cardinal sin of all campaigns: she told the truth, the real truth. Typically that's a bad thing to do, but this has been a atypical election so you may be right. Personally I hope you are.
I spoke to my mother yesterday and when I mentioned it she said, "no shit, but you don't say it." If that's going to be the general response it'll be fine.

Pretty much.
Remember, what Romney said was wrong. Not bad wrong but factually wrong.
What Hillary said is roughly the truth. Some undecided voter isn't going to change their opinion. If anything, it brings more attention to them that some of Trump's supporters are gross people.
And it goes the same for her weaker supporters.
I'm not saying this is a positive. This is taking headlines away from Trump's Russia comments (seems like years ago now) but it's not the negative the Trumpers wish it was.
