She'll just stay bodywoman. Like she needs a job. She has more money than god because she's a (((globalist))) and she does "consulting" (read: bullshit) when she needs money.
Politics is like the only field where you have 50 advisors that do nothing.
No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet!

I'm constantly checking this site. Last night she was at 81.1% now it's 78.5%. This election is stressing me out. I can't wait til it's over.

Take a step back. Stop looking at every deviation in percentages.
Check this website and let the calming brush of the Wang wash over you:

When Trump got a 1.5 percent rise because of a fucking Oklahoma poll last week I learned to stop worrying about the percentage changes so much as it's clear that their model can be a tad volatile.

Just got back from canvassing for Ohio Together and Queen! First time ever volunteering for a political campaign. Feels good.
I can confirm that there are secret Hillary voters in Ohio, and I know this because I sure as hell couldn't find them XD. Apparently it's actually kind of a problem, a lot of people around here (right near University of Cincinnati) live in this tiny, rinky-dink apartment buildings that don't have buzzers or anything, so reaching them through in-person canvassing is tricky. FWIW, everyone I was able to talk to either is voting for or has already voted for Hillary, including a much older couple. People seemed significantly less on board with Strickland, though.

It's also a bizarrely sensitive model that moves in ways that often don't make sense. Last week an Arkansas poll dropped Clinton 1%
The model has also switched to tightening mode which means good polls will have little effect for her. It will adjust good polls to where it thinks the race is instead of focusing on the numbers.
Once over dinner, they asked me if I knew about the Berenste/ain Bears as evidence for the Mandela Effect and SERN's involvement in shady timeline shenanigans. More in a noncommittal "just asking questions" way than actually committing to signalling their belief. So I gave them two competing "theories": one was an account of human memory functioning and how we are predisposed to have certain misunderstandings because of cultural narratives (Woodward and Bernstein being widely known names with high significance to Americans interfered with the memory of the Bears) and a preference for harmonic phonemes (Berenstein just straight up sounds better than Berenstain, and "stain" has negative connotations)... And the other was background exposition from Steins;Gate.
Turns out that sometimes anime DOES help you relate to people.

dude this site is owned by ESPN. Look at their last subscription loss numbers the business is a freaking mess. Right now their entire business model is to get you pushing refresh and they're desperate. Nate Silver, right now, is not a good analyst and going to this site is doing nothing for you except adding anxiety.
Nate Silver 4-8 years ago when he wasn't with ESPN: The polls have shown, and continue to show, that Obama is clearly going to win.

If you're only concern is Clinton POTUS, then you really don't need to worry, because that is all but locked in.
Just go out and vote, Clinton will be the next president at 11:00 PM
Sounds like his own people don't trust him

Clifton and Northside are so in the tank for the Queen. I drove up to Oxford Thursday though. It really is crazy to see like thirty Trump signs for every Hillary sign. Rural Ohio is insane.

The model is very sound, but I feel like Nate Silver & co. are over-weighting conservative polls in an effort to make up for his total failure to account for Trump in the primaries. Dude got scarred.

It's an overly sensitive model that that is effected by the strangest things, that even the other polling guys are constantly confused on how the hell they weigh stuff to make it work the way it does. Upshot (God Nate's model) and PEC (Wang's silent giant) are the two most of us trust this season.

Forreal. You don't even have to go rural, I was up in Blue Ash the other day and as soon as you get off the main roads at all it's nothing but Trump.

Trump waited until the last minute to decide his VP, while Clinton picked hers over a year ago. Sounds about right.

There would be a lot more blood in the water, though. Pence is feckless, to use one of his words.
Lol who?

If Trump wasn't such a volatile, resentful numptie he should have courted Rubio. This is what a normal, sane GOP campaign would have done. But Trump wasn't running for office until a month ago, he was perpetuating his brand of "Winning!"
Do we get early voting numbers from NC on Sunday, or do we have to wait until tomorrow?

Pence was a fine VP pick, Trump didn't make the wrong decision in the end.
The one chanting Jew-S-A to reporters at his rally last night.
Don't worry. CNN and the media are too busy pleasuring themselves with this new Clinton news. They won't call out Kellyanne for this.
Lol I saw that this morning too. I was a bit surprised. I think Conway knows though we've reached the end game. She doesn't have to worry so much about word choice.
