Is he thinking they've got this or that they don't? Lol

???

Should the debate be postponed due to the hurricane?

 

[User 463088]

I get at least two phone calls a week from Trump... on the work line that I've had for about 10 years.

I got one from them on my business line a month or so ago. They were smart enough to never call again after I cussed them out.

 

[Holmes]

Should the debate be postponed due to the hurricane?

Maybe. Is there precedence of debates being postponed?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Should the debate be postponed due to the hurricane?

Is it even possible to do it this late? It's only a few days away.

Another one is Pierre in South Dakota. The locals say "Peer," as in, "he is my peer," not "PE-AIR," and I was boggled beyond belief when I found this out.

Wacky place, South Dakota.

Tack on Lafayette County here in Mississippi. It's pronounced "La-FAY-ette" not "La-fee-YET". The local phrase is that La-fee-YET is a parish in Louisiana.

Unless you're talking about the high school. Then it's the shorter "La-FET" High School.

 

[OmniOne]

So.

I just got a flyer from the Trump campaign, addressed directly to me. Paid for by The New York Republican Party.

They're so good at targeting supporters. SO GOOD.

I got the same exact one here in PA. I was like huh?? Waste that coin.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Maybe. Is there precedence of debates being postponed?

It should be "resolved" by then. If it was Friday or Saturday they would.

 

[Holmes]

It does seem like the New York state Republican party is paying for mailers in battleground states. Sad state of affairs.

So Josh as the Josh Kraushaar just posed this question:

‏@HotlineJosh
What's the best Dem Senate pickup opportunity of the three Romney states?

Bayh (Indiana)
Ross (North Carolina)
Kander (Missouri)

Wanted to throw that to PoliGAF. I think in terms of chances, I'd say Ross > Bayh > Kander, with Ross and Bayh as slight favorites to win and Kander as a bit-less-than-50%.

 

[Oblivion]

WHAT IS THIS THAT I SEE

What am I supposed to be seeing here?

 

[whyamihere]

What am I supposed to be seeing here?

The shrinking percentage of the white electorate.

 

[Grief.exe]

I wonder who Heavy/Barack Lesner is voting for.

 

[metalslimer]

I don't think they should delay.

A good portion of those affected won't be able to watch but power will be for a week or longer in some places.

 

[ISWThunder]

I got one from them on my business line a month or so ago. They were smart enough to never call again after I cussed them out.

The ones I get are just a recording of Trump's loud, annoying voice. The only time I make it past 2 seconds is when I put him on speaker to torture my coworkers.

 

[NeoXChaos]

should we be worried about Bayh?

 

[neurosisxeno]

should we be worried about Bayh?

Despite being garbage he'll probably win anyway.

 

[Cyanity]

This storm is going to affect Florida's coastline for a decade. SAD

Better hope PoliGAF doesn't get their often stated wish of Cory Booker then

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/07/cory-booker-hillary-clinton-veep-newark-214030



He basically used Zuckerburg's 100 million to go all in on charters, and more or less wasted the money completely (and in the process, has set progress back on education funding back about 20+ years)

Main reason I dont want him anywhere near the presidency.

Hot take: Mook thinks NC/NV/FL will be called before election day because they're already so far gone for Trump

In terms of candidate quality

Bayh > Kander > Ross (Kander is charismatic as hell but had to be introduced to the state, Bayh skipped that step)

In terms of likelihood of winning

Bayh > Ross > Kander (still think Bayh's got this)

10,000 years of darkness! FUCK

 

[Holmes]

I do hope the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign get ahead of this hurricane for two reasons. One, to provide all the help that the people affected need, and two, to not let Trump politicize this and gain any ground that he's lost recently. For the future of our country.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

10,000 years of darkness! FUCK

Only 9,992 years left

Remember when Trump did that photo op in Louisiana? That didn't move the needle for him.

I'm sure Obama is giving all the federal aide and help he can. The best Hillary can do is release a statement and mention at the debate.

Things like this won't help either candidate really.

 

[thefro]

should we be worried about Bayh?

I can't see Bayh only being up 1% if Trump is only up 5% in Indiana. He's running some quality TV ads and they're more positive than negative on balance. Young's running more negative stuff.

I've got the impression in the past that the Howey poll tries to make everything a toss-up.

You'll know that he'll criticize Obama for not raindancing the hurricane away anyway, no matter what he does to mitigate the damage.

Unless Obama ends up like Katrina, this won't change the race at all.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

I was wondering about Alaska as a possible swing state in the near future, but it has so few EVs, it hardly seems worth the effort for anyone to campaign way out there, so even if it was, technically, a tossup between the two candidates, they might not really make a big deal about it.

What are the politics of Alaska anyway? Like, demographics, regional breakdowns, etc... What are the conditions that let a Dem win there?

The "you don't trust women" line on abortion is pretty good. It takes advantage of the awkwardness of the pro-life position about women who choose abortion. It's obviously a nonsense response to a sincere pro-lifer - a law against abortion is no more untrusting of women than a law against murder is untrusting of everyone - but of course the pro-lifer can't make that analogy. They can't suggest that women who get abortions might deserve punishment. Instead they've got to deny that the women have agency - they're tricked or pressured into getting abortions - and "you don't trust women" highlights how infantilizing this is while placing the focus on the woman's choice.

This is a good post. I've always said that, if you want to be technical about it, the most logical position on abortion is to either allow them (good) or you ban them completely in all cases (rape/incest included), and you punish anyone who performs or receives one. Republicans always want to tow the "compassion" line with abortion so they make these exceptions, but those exceptions are blatantly inconsistent with their message.

If you grant that abortion is literally murder of a child, then how can you be okay with it just because the mother was raped? You can't logically be in favor of these exceptions unless you don't actually believe it's murder (Hint: They don't believe this, they just want to exercise that classic control over their wives and daughters).

 

[Holmes]

I will say that I trust what Mook says. He was the one that said they might not win Michigan about a week prior to the primary in a conference call (to donors, I believe). If they're feeling confident, on the other hand, it's because they have reason to be.

Team Trump view of shortest path to 270: Romney states (though now behind in NC) + IA/OH/NV (now ahead) + FL/NH (behind) + ME 2. exactly 270

Good luck with that.

Unless something drastic changes, I'm not seeing how Trump will be anywhere close in Florida.

That's a bit of an overgeneralization.

And November 9th. Seeing Morning Joe and O'Reilly and Hannity all sad, blaming the results of people who want "free stuff" again is going to be so worth the wait. They'll still be processing the consequences from this one.

Despite being garbage he'll probably win anyway.

What's wrong with Bayh? I mean, by national standards he leaves a lot of be desired, but for freakin' Indiana he's practically a commie.

I'm taking the 8th and the 9th off just to soak in all of the salt (or to prep the fallout shelter if the worst case scenario comes to pass).

It's amazing because at the VP debate that nobody watched or cared about didn't Pence say Trump never said any of that lol?
