I really hope this "NC GOP HQ having completed absentee ballots story picks up steam." Blatant voter fraud.
I wouldn't say that. Looking at Qpac's previous senate polls of PA, they've been EXTREMELY Toomey friendly. Their last one had them +8.Toomey has made a clear comeback in Pennsylvania. Damn, I hope McGinty can close strong.
The totality itself is racist. Is white text on a black backdrop now locked off forever? How about flags in general? Or ski masks?
This seems silly to complain about, and I'd argue that you're making their point as well. You see that sign and get scared for no damn reason. That's the point.
I don't know. It's pretty far off. Like, white on black pretty common. It's how I'm reading this forum right now. There's no circle and the font isn't in what appears to be the Arabic version of comic sans.
Rubio is endorsing Trump who violated Cuban Embargo. The ads are making themselves, but florida dems are too stupid to realize it.
has it been reported anywhere reputable though? the NBC article says the GOP said there were no absentee ballots there.

I think it's pretty easy to imagine a scenario in which Republicans don't reform much at all and still win back power in congress and the White House. Say Clinton gets hit with a recession and Speaker Ryan refuses to allow a stimulus. We're already prepping to lose the Senate in 2018. Maybe Hillary gets tarred with a dumb scandal or does poorly on some international issue. Maybe the GOP does reform its primary rules to screen out the psychos and they produce a challenger in 2020 who's somewhat young, charismatic, and with little baggage, like say, Nikki Haley. Speaker Gohmert and Mitch McConnell then nuke Medicaid completely, and Social Security and Medicare get privatized. I like the Dem coalition as currently constituted, but even assuming the GOP pays a heavy price after all this and we do get another magical period where we control White House and Congress soon afterwards, what are the chances that our Dem coalition will really go to the mat to restore Medicaid? Not good, IMO. The asymmetry favors the barbarians at the gate, not the Romans.I'm not entirely sure the GOP will be able to fix their party in 4 or maybe 8 years time. A new party may be required because the GOP may end up being to tainted by donald trump.What I am saying is that the GOP may end up bieng so weak after thus election that their is a chance they may never recover like what happened to the PC's in Canada after the infamous 1993 election.
Not sure how old this news is here, but I saw it while I was out for lunch...according to EMAILS, Hillary considered Bill Gates, Tim Cook and Michael Bloomberg as potential running mates.
Honestly, I think whoever said that was just bullshitting trying to drum up sympathy by saying this incident affected everyday voters and wasn't thinking about any legal implications with what was said. I hope it's at least looked into though.

Schilling has no filter, he will say a million stupid things and disqualify himself almost immediately.

More reason to not buy those QPac polls: DSCC just announced it's pulling out of Florida. Murphy, Sad!
Solid black isn't standard on billboards.
And you are scared for a reason, the only other time you've seen that is from Islamic terrorism. You can't read it or uncover its message. How are you supposed to?
Who is this helping? How does this stop fear? I mean I don't think we need to take back black standards, they've been negative since piracy. We're not trying to take back swastikas or white hoods.
I mean if we want to stop Islamophobia we can't reinforce peoples reactions (which that billboard intentionally does!). And again the billboard offers no context. Why are we trying to fight people's association of arabic with terrorism by continuing its association? When I've been to arabic speaking places I don't see that around. I see normal advertisements.
It sounds like well meaning people who don't understand how people think or come to their ideas.
I don't think in jokes among liberals are how to reach out to the people who need to change their views.
LOL. Let him get his bigoted, transphobic, creepy little ass humiliated and buried by the GOAT.http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/curt-schilling-senate-run-2018-229927

You're scared for a racist reason, no differently than being scared of a black person in a hoodie. The association you have is bad.
That billboard does the opposite of reinforces that association! A billboard with Arabic on it that didn't look like that would reinforce it. "White text on black background means terrorist! Otherwise, okay" is not a good thing! Instead this billboard sends the message that "White Arabic on black background doesn't tell you anything" which is true.
And it's more of a shame thing anyway. The goal should always be to shame racists. "Changing their views" is something people say when they live in liberal areas and don't know real Republicans.
MA GOP = FL democrats
Missouri and Indiana are going to have 2 Dem Senators and a Dem governor each in a few months despite being deep red.
Kind of funny to me.

He is setting up for a 2020 Presidential run. All he needs to do is use this race to get a national profile. He gets to pick a big fight with one of the GOP base's top boogeymen. He doesn't need to win. He just needs to show and he will start raising decent money.
I have said it for 6 months now. Schilling is my pick for the 2020 nominee. He has all the elements needed to succeed.
Why is it the responsibility of liberals to change the views of racists, and not the responsibility of racist republicans to have some degree of introspection and not be assholes?
I'd rather have that hangover than the new-lefts self assurdness that the country wants socialism and massive social transformation
Based on the results from the 15 state surveys, along with assumptions of the likely outcomes in other states that have consistently voted for one party or the other, Clinton, the Democratic nominee, holds leads of four points among likely voters or more in states that add up to 304 electoral votes.
whats everyone prediction on the election?
Here's mine:
Solid black isn't standard on billboards.
So this kids' election electoral map is interesting.
Hillary won in states where the youth vote is waaaaay more diverse than the 18+ vote - Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina. She also won in Utah and Idaho, two states with a huge Mormon population. And losing Iowa correlates with its propable loss as a swing state after this election.
Hard this. Coddling racists will never change them. Shame them and move on.
I'm also a bit offended when people pull out the "they're racist because of economic hardship" line. I grew up eating donated food from churches, living below the poverty line in the poorest part of the poorest state in the nation. Fucking none of that pushed me to racism. Poor people are not backwater hicks that just don't know any better; we're just as understanding as anyone else with comparable education and yet there are racists. The two aren't related.
These polls are weird.
