I know that the left/Daily Kos crowd was huge on the rigged voting machine conspiracy back in 2004, and I'm sure that there were people online insisting that there was widespread voting machine fraud in the subsequent elections, but I don't ever recall the candidate himself crying 'CONSPIRACY!', especially in states that normally lean far, far right.

Trump officials openly boasting about voter suppression must upset Republicans who want to only privately encourage voter suppression.

Not sure if it's an old story that the reporter is talking about, or something with new information. I searched and everything that came up was Clinton Foundation related. This appears to be more in line with campaign contributions. Kirby's answer makes sense, about the process still being rigorous and involving more people than Clinton. The timing of the lobbyist-contractor relationship still looks bad for Clinton.
I am in no way saying that this will impact the election in any way, just wondering if anybody in this thread has a different take on this, or if it's an old story that I just didn't manage to find.

In the NYT Run-Up's part 2 of Trump's interview videos, they talk a story about how Trump constantly sent flowers to Princess Diana, to the point where she had to ask someone what to do with the flowers from "the crazy guy".
There are no limits to who you try to "go after like a bitch", I guess.

In fairness, the CEO of Diebold did say he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." If they are the only people delivering the machines, it seems easy to make the leap to rigged voting in Ohio where the vote was crucial.
No, but he does water down his OJ so it's not as acidic. You can see him do that, and get other diner tips, in the interview he did on the Iran deal with MSNBC. I still can't believe they were dumb enough to take that man to a diner.
He gets that all issues are local and you need to be a good fit for the seat you want to hold or capture.

Question about the whole Ds doing better on election day.
During the primaries, Sanders typically did better on election day, due to early voting/voting by mail operation that Hillary had and because she was a classic Dem. Is it just different in the GE?

I really hope, in the inevitable movie about this campaign, they remake the Downfall bunker scene shot-for-shot and reuse it for Trump's eventual election night meltdown.
Actually, that does send me down a mental path I've not followed before - how do the Amish community inform themselves about everything relating to an election? I assume newspapers are permitted?

When I first saw the Access Hollywood tape, I was unclear what he meant by that exactly. Now that we know more about how he... goes after... women, it makes perfect sense.
Regarding Ohio, I only recently read the Christopher Hutchins piece that made me question what I thought (that people complaining were left wing nuts).

Assuming the numbers he refers to are correct, there were a number of extremely weird things going on in Ohio's voting numbers on the evening. They might be all completely fine (like the Philadelphia districts not voting for Romney) but on the surface of it something looks rotten in Denmark.

The Amish don't vote. At all. It's just not something they do.

I was thinking incumbency bonus, although that said I had no idea NH is 2 years. That's terrible, why would you ever make terms for an executive position that short?

Yeah, they want nothing to do with the government.
Bingo. Too many times people want xyz candidate that looks like they could be a national contender or progressive bastion of awesomeness; except they then run in a state where that's not what the people want. Someone like Kander in MO is how you win elections.
The funny thing about the Trump interviews is that the guy who did the interview, D'Antonio, thinks that Trump seems to use movies and tv and media as a template for how to approach relations with women.
Which is an incredibly bad idea.
Also, I didn't know this before, but apparently Paul Manafort had been living in Trump Tower since 2006. He's on floor 43.

I still can't get over that Trump only had the support of *one* black respondent in PA. That's insane!
They can do what they want as long as the dem base don't realize there is more than the GE.

Sounds like Putin is about to hit the campaign trail.
Glad I have been ignoring all DSCC demands for money then.

Oooo; good article about economic progressivism's history. Makes the Sanders / Warren phenomenon a potential pendulum swing back into 1930s era economic policy.

Putin is ridiculously stupid. Trump will obviously lose and his open rooting for Trump will just motivate Hillary to sanction Russia more harshly.

Secret state: Russia 4.7 million electoral votes.
Putin wants to divide the USA and create doubt on the democratic process. He is achieving just that with his puppet orange turd.

NPR ran that piece on Trump putting up Billboards in Amish country and a dozen Amish appearing at Trump Rallies.
That report did say that they do read print newspapers, and do tend to vote R anyway due to government intervention attitudes.

I think he also wants to be a power broker in NY state between the many democratic factions. Put his stamp on NY as much as Cuomo.

Got a link for that because I think you are mis-reading the story. Schumer has given $6M to the DSCC. Some people think he should give more but I haven't seen anything to suggest that the DSCC is doing buys in NY.

This does not get them to 270.
And they probably aren't winning Florida or NC
