Eh. I think the trump stuff can be pretty comfortably shoved under the rug. Just come up with some bullshit rehearsed responses along the lines of "I'm not the same person I was 3-4 years ago" and "Trump lost and I'm going to win, and that means making some decisions that he didn't." Republicans will be happy with that.

Pence comes off as a pretty good bullshitter to me and he appeals to the base. Evangelicals love him. I could see him doing pretty well in Republican primaries.

Nah, Trump has become too toxic of a figure, and if the rumors are true that part of the Democrats strategy after this election is to keep bringing up Trump as a sort of anti-Reagan to try and cut off potential growth of the GOP, it's not going to be a stink he can easily shake off. He can try those canned responses, but they're so easy to take down. "You say you're different now, but you were so convinced of Donald Trump before you agreed to be his VP? You defended him against highly racist and sexist scandals. Governor, will you just say anything to be in power?" I'm also expecting the head GOP leaders to go after Trump hard after this election to try and disavow and disassociate with him, creating mix feelings through the Republican base.

I don't know, I just don't think he'll be able to shake off the stink to have a real chance at winning.

If Rubio loses his Senate race, he's damaged goods.

He'll just run for governor in 2018 and win because it's an off-year, and the media will talk about him as some resurgent politician. He's not dead even if Murphy beats him.

 

[Grexeno]

I know it's mainly because of the IDB/LA Times/ABC daily tracking polls but it's pretty disturbing seeing the RCP aggregate go from 7.1 to 2.5 in the past 2 weeks. According to their graph Clinton hasn't even lost any voters, trump has just been gaining the last bit of Republicans who weren't gonna vote for him before.

Tracking polls, man. Pollster still has her up 7.

 

[Toxi]

I'm sorry, but are there no poorhouses?

Why are you even paying attention to that cunt.

 

[avaya]

I fucking love the Reid machine in Nevada, Clark county is just crushing it again.

 

[Teggy]

Taniel, etc. are saying that polling by reputable pollsters has dropped off, which is having an interesting effect on the aggregates. Possibly because they are scared of getting things wrong, like Gallup last election. Only polls coming are from partisan pollsters.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Why are you even paying attention to that cunt.

That statement is fucking hilarious, you have to admit it.

Thiel is as detached from reality as Trump.

 

[Basileus777]

Uncertainty and systematic polling errors oh my.

 

[wartime1020]

+3 for Hillary in... DC.

 

[sc0la]

Why are you even paying attention to that cunt.

That's not a very nice thing to call som... oh Peter Thiel? carry on.

 

[mo60]

Rubio's going to be crushed again if he somewhow managed to run in the republican primary again.

 

[Diablos]

+3 for Hillary in... DC.

Your family's vote or a poll?

 

[Basileus777]

Your family's vote or a poll?

Come on. You know the answer to this.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Rural Ohio y'all:

Being from rural Ohio, I'm not at all shocked.

He'll just run for governor in 2018 and win because it's an off-year, and the media will talk about him as some resurgent politician. He's not dead even if Murphy beats him.

That's what I've been thinking and why even if plugging money in the state for Murphy to have a hope of beating him isn't the right move in my amateur and uninformed opinion because he could probably win the governorship.

 

[johnny956]

Just did my absentee in Missouri. +1 for Clinton and Kander

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Peter Thiel said that Hillary will start WW3 with Russia today which will be the end of civilization due to nuclear war.

This is an official Trump campaign talking point and that's just so impressive.

 

[Paches]

Sometimes I wish I didn't care as much about politics so I could live a much more stress free life.

 

[nature boy]

Damn, CNN:

 

[BigJonsson]

Yet they still employ Lewandowski?

 

[Plumbob]

Fox News headline



Fuck this company and the people that eat this spin up.

I mean it makes sense you turn on people who do things you disagree with right?

That's what Republicans did to Trump. Where was the shade then?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Whoever thought email story would die down lol

Not really sure what HRC campaign can do either, just concentrate on mobilizing voters.

 

[Paches]

Damn, CNN:

This is fucking rich.

 

[Suikoguy]

Yet they still employ Lewandowski?

Yeah, holy shit at the double standard here.

Yet people say it's the Clinton News Network.

 

[RustyNails]

Damn, CNN:

Yet Corey can still remain while accepting paycheck from Trump.

 

[metalslimer]

Damn, CNN:

Rich coming from the people who have Lewandowski on the payroll

Edit: Looks like we all had the same thought there

 

[Mizerman]

Damn, CNN:

And yet, Corey is still there.

 

[rjinaz]

Peter Thiel said that Hillary will start WW3 with Russia today which will be the end of civilization due to nuclear war.

You think these extremist would find a new talking point. Same one they used with Obama, and somehow we're still here. I guess it gets a reaction out of people and that's the whole point.

 

[Boke1879]

Corey was literally seen with a damn Jacket over his head with Trump while being employed by CNN and still getting a check from Trump.

 

[CoolOff]

Yet Corey can still remain while accepting paycheck from Trump.

Rich coming from the people who have Lewandowski on the payroll

Edit: Looks like we all had the same thought there

And yet, Corey is still there.

Oh baby a triple!

 

[Boke1879]

She doesn't have to do anything but campaign. It's not swaying voters. Like you said. She just needs to campaign with her surrogates and turn people out to vote. That's it.

 

[nature boy]

lol everyone thinking the same

Yes Corey should be fired, but what Donna did was wrong.

 

[Trouble]

t be happy till there's a Chaffetz tie. And mostly because he has a dislikable face.

If I was told I could punch Chaffetz, Gowdy, Gomert or Cruz one time, I really don't' know how I could decide.

 

[Laevateinn]

Damn, CNN:

This is so dumb. Why leak such a gimme question?

If I was told I could punch Chaffetz, Gowdy, Gomert or Cruz one time, I really don't' know how I could decide.

Come on. The answer is Cruz. There is no one in the same galaxy as Cruz in terms of face-punchability.

 

[Hopfrog]

Yeah, CNN can fuck right off with that nonsense while still employing Lewandowski. The fact that they continue to have confirmed moron Blitzer as a lead anchor shows the level of intelligence at that network.

Go Andy

 

[rjinaz]

Looks like Trump's "the media is corrupt and against me" message is working. Even CNN has to play along with it, in fear of people believing it. Good job Trump and good job CNN for giving in to these assclowns.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Damn, CNN:

Hypocrites.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It's kind of crazy that even the averages are not in agreement. Pollster is on the higher end of a Clinton lead, NYT and 538 are in the middle, RCP is much lower.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I mean, all they have to do is win, which they are.

The story is still around, but I do feel it's got a much more mixed talking point than I think Comey and the GOP wanted it to have. Partially, it's reignited the e-mail talk, but a lot of that talk has been about the blow back on Comey's action. It's pure speculation, but I can't help but think they thought it was going to be a slam dunk but it ended up not going the way it was expected, at least it doesn't seem to having major effect right now.

 

[RustyNails]

Wait hold on. Blitzer is dumb but he fucking destroyed Guiliani on Friday.

Credit where credit's due. Brocken clock etc.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

Go Andy

This will always be funny.

 

[Fragamemnon]

go ahead and punch Chaffetz in the nuts. He's from BYU, he can't really hold it against you.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Yeah, but bruh, that's a low bar to clear because Giuliani is legitimately fucking stupid. Like Sarah Palin-level stupid. Even Wolf is smarter than fucking Sarah Palin.

 

[Lord Frieza]

It's kind of crazy that even the averages are not in agreement. Pollster is on the higher end of a Clinton lead, NYT and 538 are in the middle, RCP is much lower.

Are you referring to the Upshot with NYT? They have Clinton with 90% chance.

 

[Basileus777]

It's kind of crazy that even the averages are not in agreement. Pollster is on the higher end of a Clinton lead, NYT and 538 are in the middle, RCP is much lower.

Lack of quality polling leads to this. Averages get decided by which crappy polls you put into them.

Yeah Wolf has been calling out the shit when he sees it. I feel like he's just doing it because his colleagues are as well, but nonetheless, he's not letting things go. Though I kind of feel like CNN has sort of lost it's edge with Trump surrogates since the FBI statement. Now they are putting the Clinton people on the defense. They don't need to for the sake of impartiality. Trump and his supporters don't deserve impartial treatment.

A bright seven year old could destroy Giuliani at the moment. Rudy has become a hysterical joke with arguments so full of holes you could pilot container ships through them.

 

[ZealousD]

There's so much variance in the polls that it seems like at least half of them are crappy. When MOE is only a few points for all polls and yet you have some polls with Trump/Clinton nearly tied and other polls have Clinton landslides, how do you choose?

 

[Chezzymann]

It's kind of crazy that even the averages are not in agreement. Pollster is on the higher end of a Clinton lead, NYT and 538 are in the middle, RCP is much lower.

Yeah I'm not really sure who to believe right now. Huffington post putting trump in the "entertainment" section and being so clearly biased against him (not saying thats a bad thing) makes me not think it's a coincidence that they have the aggregate with the highest Clinton lead, RCP has all those daily tracking polls making it appear very close, guess I'll just have to stick with NYT and 538 for now.

 

[Fragamemnon]

RCP dumpsters in every landline mouthbreather poll regardless of quality.
