With this, have to wonder if there is going to be a strong 'in the poll booth' effect of R's not being able to bring themselves to vote Trump, especially for women when presented with voting for the first women president.

Dem panic has been high. 538's been getting those sweet, sweet clicks.
Just don't have anxiety.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it's remarkable how much of a pro-Trump safe space Hannity has created for himself on his show. Guests are Newt, Rudy, and Laura Ingraham talking about Clinton e-mails, Donna Brazile being a "cheater", how Huma and Podesta "broke the law." Also Hannity twice had his guests (Newt and Laura) reassure him of ways Trump can get to 270, because Hannity is skeptical of Trump's chances.
Two guests at the end are right wing pundits who are talking about MSM bias, bringing up the percentage of time that networks ran coverage critical of Comey this week.
Also, this:
PUNDIT: You've been saying journalism's dead for a long time-
HANNITY: 8 years
Hmm, what happened 8 years ago that would cause tha- oh...
He ordered 1,000 Trump pens that have a speaker in them that play Trump quotes to give away on his show, but by the end he apparently received word from FOX's legal team that he might not be allowed to give them away.
I was happy to see that his show doesn't have a second hour, because I wasn't sure how long it was. And I didn't stick around for O'Reilly.

I can confirm that the best way to avoid anxiety is to just not have it.

This would be a bad policy and wouldn't work (see Rubio escaping Trump)

"What's Hillary gonna do for you?"
"O I dont know, maybe there's going to be a Student Loan debt forgiveness program. Maybe there's going to be federally mandated overtime pay. Maybe there's going to be federally mandated paternity leave. Maybe I won't go uninsured if I lose my job for an extended period of time. The possibilities are endless!"

7 days from just about right now I can finally get this election out of my fucking head.
As someone who grew up with a father who was a narcissistic sociopath, this whole election has been a bit of a nightmare scenario for me. Really been hard to focus on anything else.
Thank god.

I have a theory that Peter Thiel combines the worst aspects of German culture and American Libertarian culture.
Germans are thought of as cold, efficient, and unfeeling, but they agree that the system worth optimizing is one that is equitable.
American Libertarians pursue insane economic policies, but they truly believe that these policies would bring prosperity to more people. When Gary Johnson or Rand Paul go into the 'inner city' and tell people that government aid programs are the thing that's been holding them back all this time, they're laughably wrong but they believe what they're talking about and actually want people to succeed.
Peter Thiel manages to cherry-pick from these influences to form a uniquely vile worldview.

Liberals and conservatives are too different for this to work. The right wing echo chamber works because modern conservatives are a very homogeneous group that is self reinforcing. The liberal coalition has a too many interests to just repeat 'Trump bad' non-stop for four years. Its why none of the liberal newstalk shows ever caught on. The audience wants different stuff.

Peter Thiel is basically Nate Silver to Elon Musk's Nate Cohn. Both worked on PayPal, one goes on to be CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, chairman of SolarCity, and founder of OpenAI while the other's biggest accomplishment post PayPal turns out to be funding Hulk Hogan in a sex lawsuit. Have fun being 9 billion poorer than Elon Musk fucking scrublet.

An impeachment backfire would give Democrats the house and guarantee a reelection . I will take it.

Constant impeachments will help Dems win elections because it's just going to be Hillary owning Jason Chaffetz and Trey Gowdy and scrubs like them over and over again while these jerkoffs try to build a case on nothing.

lol as if any of these GOP clowns can put a dent in her.
she'll come out of those hearings with higher favorables than ever
Doesn't Thiel own Palantir too? I know they're pretty big in the Intelligence space.
I can tell you that we communists are very good at propaganda and homogeneity when we're not backstabbing each other if you want some help!
Peter Thiel mostly spends money on thinking he can live forever.

Oh, it doesn't have to be just Trump All Day Erry Day. We can multitask. I'm also in favor of painting pro-gun legislators as being weak on national defense. We have options, we just need to start pursuing them with vigor.

Susan Sarandon with that excellent timing.
You would say that Felix Lighter! How much is Hillary secretly paying you to attack Jill Stein?! We all know that Hillary spends all day trying to figure out ways to bring Jill down because Jill is the biggest threat to her candidacy!

After Trump loses, I feel like he's really gonna let loose with the crazy BS comments since he won't be under the pressure of the campaign anymore. It'll make all the Republicans who endorsed him look much much worse in the coming years.

Thiel is the largest investor but not close to a majority owner

Turnout super strong in Durham (NC). 7k more voters, with turnout up a bit at NCCU (a HBCU) and the Univeristy of New Jersey-Durham, also known by its informal name of "Duke".
If this keeps up there's either not going to be many voters in Durham County on election OR there are going to be a lot of new voters overall. Probably going to be the latter , judging from my commute to and from work on I-40. That's good for Hillary because we are in the tank for Democrats here.

Seriously no goddamn way this would be too crazy.

Durham and Wake had the largest increase in new voter registrations so far this year, followed by Guilford and Mecklenburg. All good for us.

"Duke" is high quality and apparently has distanced itself from Governor Christie.
Speaking of North Carolina, 21,502 early votes in Mecklenburg County today. That brings the total early vote to 188,649, not counting absentee ballots, which is 7.8% ahead of 2012's pace (175,007). Recall that 6 days previously, early voting trailed by 13.3% due to limited polling places.

Also, in Orange County (FL) we had our biggest plurality since last week, and the biggest NPA day so far. Turnout looks great in FL for us. Palm Beach had its best day yet, Broward was way up and Miami-Dade was too.
As a Miami-Dade guy, that's good.
She might be afraid of computers and wi-fi tbh
FTFY.

I would say there's no way they could get away with impeaching over something dumb like an executive order they don't like as is often suggested they thing to do for Obama, but time and time again the voters have proven that they give 0 fucks about republicans tearing down the norms of proper governance, so they probably wouldn't be hurt or helped at all by it for general elections.
