Ana Navarro's "I'm voting for Clinton" piece on CNN is some powerful stuff.

We are so fucked in 2020 if she's on the other side :p
 
Clinton campaign needs a strong as fuck GOTV in NC tomorrow.

Like it has to execute at 100% efficiency.

Agreed. What the GOP did here was really effective-not just the restrictions on dates but also changes like eliminating party-line voting, which drove up the time to vote dramatically.

The NC GOP built the long lines in urban counties in a precise and deliberate way.

Love the closing ad. Not anti Semitic either which is nice.

It's so awful that this comment is an actual thing. I couldn't believe the montage with George Soros, Janet Yellen and Lloyd Blankfein in his closer. But that's just a part of their racism-since they portray African Americans and Latinos as stupid degenerates incapable of operating in a civil society, they need a scapegoat identity group that controls the system (since it's rigged). Hence, Jews.
 
MSNBC at the Philadelphia GOP hq where they are selling t-shirts with complimentary handcuffs lol

They also have poll watchers designed to go minority heavy polling places. They aren't even subtle with this shit.

1. Compromat story has made the rounds with enough granularity and specificity in intel circles that the majors all chased it.

2. Senior US and allied intel officials description is revolting, and a number of journos have had its content and existence confirmed.

3. Natch, SVR ain't doing anything to hurt Trump. But having the compromat is the POINT.

4. And btw I mean MAJOR have chased it. High editorial cliff to climb.

Is this him making excuses for the oppo droppo he hyped? I'm going to assume it was the Russian prostitute video.
 
Shaheen just said on MSNBC that she's "absolutely" prepared to go nuclear.

That's a good thing. The GOP is obviously going to be not that much cooperative with her. In the last 8 years she saw that herself. Risky, but maybe necessary. I don't expect her to go nuclear until it becomes apparent that the GOP won't work with her. It probably won't be until a quite few months into her presidency.
 
lol, MSNBC has a reporter in the Philadelphia Trump campaign HQ, there is an entire wall of documents to organize poll 'watchers'. T-shirts are on sale and come with free handcuffs.

I don't see how an operation this inept can compete with the Dems. The more I see, the more it appears likely that it's going to be a landslide.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I never thought I'd say this, but the absolute best thing for this country in the future is for the establishment republicans to regain total control of their party.

He never suggested that (alleged) video was going to be released, and is correct it would never be released for obvious reasons (what incentive would Russian Intel have to release it/lose leverage).

There are a lot of people baffled that no final things were released. It doesn't make sense to me, but here we are.
 
51 with Kander saving our asses

Who do you have making those numbers?

I've got Duckworth, Cortez Masto, Feingold, Hassan, McGinty, and Ross.

Honestly, I don't think Kander is winning. I actually think Murphy has a better chance than Kander because Murphy's in a blue state that probably under-polled Hispanics and that got better black turnout than in past years. Kander's in very red Missouri, and I'd be shocked if enough people ticket-split to save him.

What were the two things you heard about?

NC GOP Brags About Success In Suppressing The Vote

This morning, the NC GOP sent out a press release bragging about how successful the state party has been in suppressing the vote.

CwrJb3MWIAAysY5.jpg


As a reminder, the state “surgically” slashed the early voting methods used by most often by African Americans — including eliminating “Souls to the Polls Sunday” and radically reducing the number of early voting locations.

I suspect ticket splitters will doom Murphy in the end.
 
I can't believe that after the constant claims from Republicans that the IRS was an Obama political operation that was going after Republicans that the IRS never released Trump's taxes.

For a Finer World
I just have to say thank you to everyone in this thread. I had been wandering lost out there, certain of a Trump win (I live in Wyoming where 98% of the vote will go to him so it's easy to see how my worldview could be skewed a little negative...) when I stumbled onto this thread. I have been lurking, reading every post for the last two or three weeks and it was almost like I found a new home on the internet. I learned a lot and gained a new addiction to hopium. Here's to queen (and hopefully taking the senate)!
Posts like this make me believe in humanity.
 
Trumps situation around his concession speech is basically unprecedented in any presidential campaign right? He has no stake in politics after this. Other nominees would have to be formal in their concession speeches because they need to preserve their career. Trump can say whatever he wants, completely ignore the teleprompter, even bash his own campaign manager, encourage people to protest, without much consequence since hes probably not doing anything political after this.
 
I spent the last 3 days debunking some of the stupidest shit on my FB feed all from one Jill Stein supporter.

She's gone of the deep end believing those Clinton/Podesta pedo ring accusations and my brain hurts because she's so dense and hates Hillary so much she can't be bothered to spend 1 min of googling to fact check.

I cannot wait for tomorrow, but I just have a feeling it'll never end.

I have us at 50 on those races, but I'm going back-and-forth on Ross' fate.

Really hoping that the machine delivers bigly tomorrow.

I wish I still lived in NC (if only to vote). My vote does fuck all to help push the country left on the national level in Arkansas. How can a state go from producing people like William Fulbright, Bill Clinton, and Blance Lincoln to freaking Tom Cotton?

Edit: As someone with several Persian-American friends and family/friends that were injured in Iraq the stunt he pulled with Obama's Iranian negotiations enraged me beyond belief.

It's too bad Connor Eldridge has no shot at unseating John Boozman. He's an awesome guy and he's worked as hard as you possibly can to win, but the odds working against him simply because he's a Democrat are too much to overcome.
I'm with ya bud. It's especially frustrating seeing apathetic or misinformed millenials. Friend of mine is a hardcore Bernie bro and is only begrudgingly voting for "crooked hillary." I'm sad the casino and marijuana amendments were struck down though.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It makes me laugh how Hilldawg's facebook page is trying to fundraise by diablosing about Nate Silver's model.

No one ever really finds the Holy Grail. If you hear the whispers on the wind confirming it exists it can become an obsession, leading you on a long journey that never ends with the grail in your possession. Those who can't give up the chase will eventually be destroyed by it.

Don't worry about that. Americans tune out folks that are giving canned talking points. Her, Nicole wallace and Steve Schmidt pierced through because they weren't. Anyone who goes back to being a basic surrogate will lose that respect and be tuned out again.

I can only hope he aims his fire right where it belongs: at paul ryan.

Only one of the medical marijuana ammendments was struck down - issue 7. Issue 6 is still on the ballot.

Gingrich and Giuliani.


Truly the anti-establishment candidate. Drain the swamp!

Ginrich rewarded for being a loyal lapdog.

Wonder what Hannity was promised? Every time I turned on the show (yes, I listen... Always an amusing drive home) and Ginrich is a guest almost every day.

He'd be in charge of Trump's state run "news" organization.

Like when he suggested that his sister would make a phenomenal SCJ. He's so dumb, it's pretty amazing.

It's funny because his sister is apparently really liberal--compared to Trump and the modern GOP.

Hillary Clinton Bribing Early Voters in Ohio With Tacos

Voters and passersby outside four Ohio early voting centers Saturday were treated to free tacos and burritos, courtesy of Hillary Clinton's campaign.

21463911-mmmain.jpg


Taco trucks parked outside busy early voting locations in Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron Saturday afternoon -- the third to last day of early voting ahead of Election Day.

Ohio law prohibits offering money or other items of value, which could include a steak quesadilla, for voters to cast ballots. But the taco truck fare was free to all, including pedestrians who happened to walk past the trucks.

"We're asking people to volunteer after they get their food but we don't ask them to go vote," said Ohio Clinton campaign spokeswoman Laura Zapata.

Free cupcakes were also available outside the Hamilton County Board of Elections, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

This woman's treachery knows no bounds. /s
