Yeeeeeup.

The idea of a reasonable moderate republican is a fantasy constructed by people who are are ideologically or professionally opposed to acknowledging the madness of the Republican party. No sane person should ever vote for a republican for any federal office. As bad as Bayh is, for example, the D next to his name is still enough.

Kirk just demonstrated that he thinks Duckworth's entire family history is invalid because at one point in her family tree, a white person married someone from Thailand. He thinks people without white skin can't have a deep connection to this country. Much Trump's Curiel comments, it's transparent, awful, and unacceptable racism.

In other news, it's October 27th and NPR's politics podcast spent the evening wondering who would win Texas and Utah. This is real life.

This election I did vote for one Republican for Sheriff.

The Democrat running is not only running with the slogan "God First" but also was fired from the very same department he is running for around 8 years ago.

Every race on my husband's ballot this year was between two Democrats, save for the Presidential election (obviously) and the House race, only because the incumbent was the only Democrat on the ballot during the primary.

Ah, the Bay Area.

Yeah, that's why I wanted to emphasize for "federal" office. For state and especially local office there's more room for republicans to operate independently of the national party.

Of course, after seeing how that worked with Michigan's reasonable moderate governor I'll probably apply the rule of thumb at the state level too.....

About the Bundy occupation verdict... is it wrong that my first thought was more "white OJ trial" than anything else? Prosecution assumes it has an open-and-shut case, doesn't do due diligence during jury selection, doesn't move to stop defense from throwing up cloud of bullshit, sympathetic jury uses cloud of bullshit as cover for nullification. White privilege absolutely factors into it, but if the jury was really composed of people willing to accept the defense's arguments, that's on the prosecution as much as anyone else.

Trump has $16m cash on hand vs Hillary's $153m

This is straight up comical at this point. Wtf is he doing. How's he going to pay for stuff.

There's going to be a lot of stiffed ex-Trump staffers and operations guys. I can already smell the class action lawsuit.

I considered voting Republican for Circuit Court Clerk because the Democratic incumbent is super corrupt. But I quickly learned that the Republican is a Bircher, so I'm just leaving that one blank.

CNN turned 2008 into a dead heat by treating joe the plumber and the bradley effect as valid issues. Then there was 2012 where Wolf Blitzer turned himself into a predictable meme. It's what they do because they desperately seek ratings above everything else.

Fuck this--we D's have had that "realist" attittude for years, and it hasn't helped us any. Don't see the harm in being motivated and being positive for a change. Something D's could actually learn from the R's, as it gets people to show up at the very least and not give up and treat battles as if they're lost before they've even begun to be fought. And if it turns out we were getting our hopes up a bit too much, so what? Doesn't change anything and at least more people were motivated and fired up. Optimism all the way~ :D

Some have speculated that Obama's camp eventually talked him out of running this year due to the Clinton camp fully supporting Terry McAuliffe, and perhaps some backdoor/handshake deal going on. Maybe the reward is Mark Warner's senate seat, if he is selected as Hillary's VP.

RIGGED. FIXED. Let's just put a stop to this election and elect Trump.

Next an email will come out round that time referencing Trump as the candidate and their little minds really won't know what to think.

It made me feel sick when I saw Trump's name on the ballot when I voted and it still does, ugh

Like how is he really on the ballot

Selecting Hillary and moving on made me feel better, but it's just so gross that awful and abusive monster is on the ballot

I mean they can but they should be called out for the things they lambast the other side from doing.

Its also why this place becomes an ecochamber. The oppo (trump n-word) thing was a part of it as well. It was exactly like the white tape.

Ask yourself how many commercials you've seen with the name "Merrick Garland" in them. That's why Cruz feels safe to talk about reducing Ct.
Click to expand...

It begins with the GOP "thinkers" to begin to lay the ground work on why the court should have 8 and why the GOP should pick the fight.

You're gonna see arguments about ties being good, no ideology should have a majority etc

I'm confident that Hillary will be our next president and feel good about the senate. But I'm in camp modest expectations as well.

No House, no Texas, no Georgia, maybe even no Iowa, Ohio or Arizona.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the final EV tally is only 323 for Clinton (Obama 2012 + NC - IA - OH).

Trump won't break 200EV's. Hilary will win both OH and IA but not by much.She may win AZ.
