Poor Iowa. I guess it's gone forever.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Poor Iowa. I guess it's gone forever.

I doubt they'd even vote for Obama if he were running. His approval there is below national numbers.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Poor Iowa. I guess it's gone forever.

I think we're getting North Carolina and Arizona, so they can have Iowa.

If they want to trade us Georgia and Texas for Ohio and Michigan, they can have those too. Shit, we'll even throw in New Hampshire as part of the deal.

 

[Y2Kev]

I don't really understand why they went for Obama at all.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Wut?

WILMINGTON, N.C. --

Trump: "If a company wants to fire their worker... we will make them pay a tax of 35 percent."

35 percent of what? And under what conditions would employers have to pay when they fire someone?

Regardless of the details, any policy that makes it harder to fire people will also cause employers to be more cautious when hiring people, and push investors to be more conservative with trying to expand since the costs of failure would be higher. Letting them fire people at will isn't great either, but there is a balance to be struck here and I severely doubt Trump's ability to find a good one.

:O

Alex Jones just said on his live show that the polls are all skewing Hillary 9-50 points higher than she actually is.

How is she even running right now?!

does Alex Jones have a wife? and if the answer is yes, is she also deaf, blind, and imaginary.

You're posting stuff that's days old.

Oh darn my bad.

Poor Iowa. I guess it's gone forever.

Iowa has the only millennials in America basically where they support Trump over Hillary (discounting Utah where all Utah millennials are for McMuffin). It's going to get worse there.

Probably gone forever.

Man what happened to David Shuster...

Really? It's not the stupidest thing he's ever said, but ok:

This one is better though:

Trump intro speaker attacks election officials for keeping polls open in Nevada so “a certain group” could vote.

“you feel free right now?"

My friend I have been gaming with for years is from there. He is one of those Bernie to Trump people. Infuriating.

He accepted Putin as his deity.

Ya, but that's killing all the birds.

 

[Kusagari]

Iowa has always been a bizarre state to me. Everything about it suggests it should be GOP favorable but it's been lean blue until now.

 

[shinra-bansho]

So a bonus of this election will be to increase the irrelevancy of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Trade off. More Ralston less Selzer.

Yes, he has a wife. My wife knows her.

Yeah, I have no idea. Some of his supporters say he is really talking about companies off-shoring. Apparently, I no speak "tell it like it is" good.

To me, he hasn't been the same since he was suspended at MSNBC for his Chelsea remarks.

Why is NH so weird anyway? It seems like it should be part of the blue wall.

Trump on polling places being kept open: "Folks, it's a rigged system!"

 

[Grief.exe]

Random fact, Rush Limbaugh's wife is actually blind.

 

[teiresias]

Trump is such a bad candidate that any state that votes for him this election should be entitled to only 50% of any emergency funding requested during the next Presidential term, and all FEMA responses will be lead by a special FEMA subsidiary managed by Michael Brown.

 

[Stinkles]

Trump on polling places being kept open: "Folks, it's a rigged system!"

"They're going to let everyone who wanted to vote, vote. Rigged!"

 

[Dierce]

Same with Colorado according to recent polls. I have no idea but my guess is that misinformation and blaming problems on everyone but themselves is resonating.

Only Trump would see getting more voters as a negative.

that explains a lot

 

[Roland_Gunner]

I don't really understand why they went for Obama at all.

Obama spent insane amounts of time in Iowa in late 07 / early 08. People there really bought into his candidacy on a personal level. Guess that's wore off.

Fuck off every state that goes red on Tuesday.

I will not forget.

Yup. The liberal kids are getting the fuck out of dodge.

Trump now responds to "LOCK HER UP" by groping the American flag.

"There's nothing more American than imprisoning your political opponents." -Woodrow Wilson.

 

[Emarv]

I'm really curious why we haven't gotten a good Maggie Haberman or Costa piece from inside the Trump Camp lately? Where is the good gossip from Trump Tower of chaos or turmoil?

They just feel relatively calm or at least leak-free with such little time left.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Yup. The liberal kids are getting the fuck out of dodge.

They all head to Minneapolis or Denver.

Yup, there's no excuse this cycle. I'll make a point of the way states vote when deciding how to spend my tourism dollars.

I wonder how many cycles until Wisconsin and Minnesota follow suit.

Probably deathly afraid of the deplorables doing more than screaming at them.

Trump's closing ad was full of anti-Semitism.

From a technical and thematic perspective it's a well made ad. It's also packed with anti-Semitic dog whistles and anti-Semitic tropes. I'm not even sure whether it makes sense to call them dog whistles. The four readily identifiable American bad guys in the ad are Hillary Clinton, George Soros (Jewish financier), Janet Yellin (Jewish Fed Chair) and Lloyd Blankfein (Jewish Goldman Sachs CEO).

The Trump narration immediately preceding Soros and Yellin: "The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. For those who control the levers of power in Washington [start Soros] and for the global [start Yellin] special interests [stop Yellin]. They partner with these people [start Clinton] who don't have your good in mind."

For Blankfein: "It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the [start Blankein] pockets of a handful of large corporations [stop Blankfein] and political entities."
