Interesting that they're worried about Trump's downballot effects, some yahoo posted an article today claiming that GOP internal polling has all of their House incumbents leading and that the only seats Democrats are expected to pick up are open seats or redistricting related.
Seems very likely that is a lie!

But we get only 2 Senate seats.If only we split NorCal an SoCal we could gain 2 more liberal seats. Sigh.

The GOP in California is largely dead. It's amazing to witness this happening in real time.
Trump's not going to win much past 30% of the vote on election day in that state at this point. I can't believe the GOP actually came kinda close to winning california like 12 years ago and now they have pretty much collapsed in that state.Hilary will orobably end up winning the state by over 30 points on november 8th.

So proud of my state. *sheds tear*
Hard to believe I actually hated this place and wanted to move out the moment I turned 18.
Jeb Bush staffer was concern trolling about it.
It probably won't affect it much unless it decided to be a nuisance and stay alive until early november. Everything should be back and running in most places in the affected states before election day.
okay I laughed
I could be wrong, but I believe Hurricane Sandy didn't have much of an impact in New Jersey. Of course, that state was gonna go to Obama anyway.
And we expect this man to do well in a Townhall where he will no doubt get asked an incendiary question about stop and frisk, race relations, or all the other crazy shit he's said?
So the Arizona Republic endorsed Clinton last week or so.
Well now they're trolling trump

I wonder if there will be a similarity of this election to the Canadian one last year, only with two parties instead of three. Near the final month, it was looking really competitive between the Liberals and the Conservatives, but about 2-3 weeks before voting day, people seemed to collectively regain their sanity and there was a sudden and large shift towards the Liberals. Perhaps this is what's happening now? Especially thanks to the debate last week, and potentially the one on Sunday, people might just abandon the GOP enough to create a large Clinton victory come election day. Seems like the GOP and Democratic internals are pointing towards that.

Bad culture fit and the company was going in directions I didn't sync with.
Shouldn't celebrate too much because now I need to find a new job, but it's a weight off my shoulders nonetheless.
I'm thinking there's a good chance the same thing happens in this election to.

I don't know why ppl keep bringing up this Pence 20/20 shit. He's not going to win a Republican primary.

She's jinxed then because there's no way there isn't an OT13 by then.

We're getting to 13 before November.
what do you mean by jinx it?
Actually considering the effect of Trump's run with Sander's, I'd say Trump's movement is a more genuine one. A VERY shitty one though.
Which is terrifying because the dude is a goddamned fanatic.

Though this year proves more than ever before that literally anything is possible, I agree that it's going to be incredibly hard to get the stench of Trump off of a candidate. Kasich is the only one who never surrendered. Wouldn't be surprised if the eventual nominee to be someone who wasn't involved this time.
Sigh, also this.
This is a horrible generalization, but college and legal weed are indeed more short-term concerns than hardcore racism, so I agree.
I've wondered why it is we need new threads? Is this a limitation of the board software?

Trying to save face after it turns out that they should have ditched him back in August? Maybe that September tightening is going to help the Dems.

Because they know absolutely nothing about Pence other than what they saw last night.
Just wait until they learn about RFRA and his abortion law. He'd be as popular nationwide as he is here in Indiana! (Hint: not very.) In fact his popularity here has probably grown since they know he can't impose his social agenda on this state anymore and feel bad for him because they don't think he'll have a job in a month anyway.
I pegged Sanders run as more "reducing wealth inequality" but ok.
I'm just saying that we've witnessed a real effect of Trump's run through increase racist violence and such while Sanders run have little to show in comparison.
I mean there's real people out there who harass minorities because of Trump, I haven't seen many JP Morgans go up in flames since Sanders started running in comparison.
Thanks.
IIRC, threads over a certain size can potentially corrupt the board's database.

I just had the big political argument I've been avoiding with a friend of mine voting Trump. It's an anti-Hillary vote for him, he works in government intelligence and uses the email scandal as his reasoning and actually never defended Trump or even mentioned Trump during the entire argument, though of course I did. I was baited into the argument by another friend that just thinks the whole thing is hilarious. I don't have the energy to argue politics with Trump as a candidate.

Discount Tom Brady has thoughts about the Jews:
He's at the Trump rally if you were wondering.

Oops, I should have phrased that differently, I meant get to |OT13| and then remain on it through the actual election. If we get to |OT13| and then proceed to |OT14| we should be fine.
Hillary with Senate control would be so amazeballs.
Yeah I mean we might not get gun reform, but we can at least work on the ACA
No, it is common for Neo-Nazis to doubt the holocaust. He's in the "nazis weren't really bad" camp.

Sorry! As I said, I generalized way too much. Regardless of the cause there's always an enthusiasm gap with Democrats/liberals. We saw how OWS blew up so quickly and then sputtered out, for a recent example. How often do you hear "99% movement" these days? For millennials it's an attention span thing, too. We have enough to do and enough distractions that the idea of staying laser-focused on a political cause is largely out of our wheelhouse. We can't even be bothered to vote in midterms! For the next 10-20 years until demographics have gone though their largest shift to younger and more diverse this is keeping the GOP on life support.
