I still enjoy 538's slack chats.
When the west coast polls close, the election will be over.

Realistically, what are the chances that the Republicans cry foul in November and try to legally challenge the election results?
I see that Ryan has already decided to further entrench himself on the intellectually impaired train by saying that he will get rid of the ACA completely and completely defund PP.

Define "Republicans".
Elected officials? 0%
Trump supporters/Roger Stone/Infowars? Likely.
Pocket the cash and move the Trump organization to Mexico.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I cannot comprehend this decision.

And pocket whatever money he can.
My guess is that it's in districts they either have locked down or are completely lost.

Trump about to grift like no one's business. Ben Carson is going to be proud of how this campaign ends.
Pocket the money, claim his loan to the campaign to be a loss for his business and don't pay taxes for the next 10 years.

I don't think people really cared about a throwback to a "regular" political debate where its not really obvious who wins and loses outside of personal preferences.
People want to see insults and meltdowns. The first debate delivered.
Definitely a strange decision given the Trump path to victory is winning every single contested state or possibly going like 7-1 as long as FL isn't the "1." Like, he legitimately cannot afford to lose Florida under any circumstances.

"You know, I'm a very smart buisness man. I ran for President, and these people just gave me millions of dollars. I knew the election was rigged, you saw- I mean, the results, it's incredible how rigged they are- I never- it's just amazing. All these people telling me, "You know it's rigged Donald", and I look at this money that is- and it's my money- I say, "Why should we spend this money on a rigged election"- and let me tell you, this election was rigged big time - it's amazing - polls closing so soon - it was - I had people calling me telling me how much this was rigged - I tell you folks, I never stood a chance.
So, I took the money, I did, I'm a very smart - I had lots of people tell me how amazing it was of me to not spend and waste this money, really rich and smart people."

Pretty sure we can all start popping champagne bottles as soon as NC is called for Hillary. Don't even have to wait till 8pt.
So, if those people are registered to vote, and they die before November 8... Per Republican logic, wouldn't that be considered voter fraud? Because a dead person is registered to vote?

Shifting money away from Florida, NC, and Ohio? Why? To where? What sense that does that make unless they believe these states are no longer competitive, which is nonsense.

What you claim is idiotic is actually the genius idea to invest all of that money in the ever-leaning republican state of California. #CaliforTrump

I don't understand why they're canceling ads. What?!

Well, Donald has said before that running ads is a waste of money. He's made it this far with virtually none. He doesn't care.
Maybe it's his call.

He's made it this far, but he's also pretty clearly losing, but one can never really understand Trump.

This only makes sense if they know they can't win without a big national shift that gets them OH/FL/NC and they are left with a map where CO/NV together swings the election. This would mean that they are basically leaning on a big external to swing the election at this point (and I can't fault them for that).
This late and in battleground states.
It is obvious he does not have the money or ground game at this i point.
WTF? Why would they do this? They're worth much fewer electoral votes, and there's no way he's going to win Colorado.
More like RACIST Bannon, amirite?
That might explain an increased ad buy in those states in addition to what they've already reserved, but why shift money from battleground states you need unless you are extremely cash strapped?

Odd of them to do it this publicly.

Well they're probably extremely cash strapped. :lol
They might see an opening in CO too, given that Hillary stop airing ads there in August.

Russia doesn't care if Donald wins; they know that there's a very good chance he will lose.
They're doing this so that it makes headlines - and to make Donald's supporters think that the UN is in on the conspiracy to make Donald lose.

The only valid explanation I can come up with is that the campaign straight-up doesn't have the funds to compete on ads with Clinton in FL.

Moving money out of FL/NC at this point is more or less "jesus take the wheel"- winning it outside of their control, so their only winning path goes through an external event outside of their control having a big nationwide swing.
If he doesn't fix his NC numbers he loses NC before election day, and no amount of money fixes them at this point (he's got about 2 weeks to work with).

Perhaps Trump is pulling FL ads due to the storm? It stupid but I wouldn't put it past his team to pull ads in Ohio because they think they're ahead. NC...they probably know they're fucked there.

The first district Utah Dem candidate is trailing by 50 points and is bragging about an internal poll where he's losing by 8.
What is the point of rigging internal polling in favor of your candidate like this?
