Anyone have any polling on NY-25?

I'm seriously concerned we're going to replace a long time liberal with a tea partier who openly hates gay people. For no other reason other than because she's been in congress for too many terms, apparently.

I can barely find more than a single article on the race and it doesn't seem like there's been any polling done either.

NYT has tax info (they released some on Thursday) but no smoking gun, multiple tapes of Trump making ignorant comments, info on him and his father making even worse comments about black renters, tape of Trump making explicit, "relationship ending" sexual comments about his daughter and then fiancé.

I understand why the last one was not released and referenced it before in terms of being too negative, but I don't understand why they didn't press for the other info to be released. Wilson is not bullshitting.

He was engaged to his daughter for a while? That's kind of huge.
 
What happened to the Senate on 538? I thought the Democrats were winning but now it's 50-50 leaning on R?
E-mails. Comey's nonsense fired up the Deplorables and is getting them to show up to the polls instead of being too discouraged to vote which isn't enough to put Hillary herself at risk in any meaningful way but made a few Senate seats much more dicey.
 
We never had a discord replacement, huh? That's probably half the reason for the thread speeds in OT14 and 15.

I assume separately, lol. Realized that I hadn't heard Trump say "the failing NYT" in awhile. Did they give him a friendly warning perhaps?

Neither can I. She's got loads of money and ads all over and he's running a pitiful little nothing campaign. He's also a huge homophobe and was caught talking about how homosexuality is a mental illness. Normally that would disqualify someone, but people are "tired" of having the same rep for decades, and apparently that's worth throwing away everything to a random nobody who doesn't respect human rights!

Last time he ran, he was 900 votes away from winning, in 2014, so it was an off year. Slaughter's operation is larger this time around and his is tiny. She also has the endorsement of Obama.

She's also really old (I think late 80s?) so there's some feeling she should be kicked out and forced to retire... also redistricting wasn't too kind to her. Some parts of the boonies got added to her district.

remember me
Finally someone says what I really think

http://verysmartbrothas.com/im-voti...porters-to-lose-badly-and-go-and-fucking-die/

I’M VOTING FOR HILLARY BECAUSE I WANT TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO LOSE BADLY AND GO AND FUCKING DIE

I’m voting for her because I do not want to live in an America where the type of people who’d fervently, dogmatically, and unconditionally support Trump — who exist so motivated by and permeated with hate and fear and loathing that they’d stand in formation behind Darth Cheeto — have a reason to be optimistic about their beliefs. I do not want these people to feel good or inspired. I do not want them to receive some type of collective psychic victory. I do not want them to experience any measure of positive reinforcement. No encouragement. No stir. No rousing. No influx of energy. No invigoration. No revitalization. No nothing besides confusion, shame, and, if the confusion and the shame isn’t enough to convince them to at least consider not hating me and people who look like me and people who don’t look like them, death.

Yes, you read that correctly. I want these motherfuckers to lose. And if losing what might be the last winnable election for them in a millennia isn’t enough for them to move into the 21st century, I wouldn’t terribly mind if they withered the fuck away and died.

Ana Navarro's op-ed is pretty powerful. I hate to see her go back to the other side after the election but it doesn't worry me too much since she'll likely be another pundit. Trump's run has hit her on a personal level though and I wish the people she looks up to would follow suit and show a spine.

Link for new page and anyone that missed it:

My only problem with it is instead if conceding that she has legitimate policy disagreements with Hillary Clinton, she dives off into nothingburger email discussion.

Pal in South FL working with Protect the Vote to monitor early-vote sites seen scores of Trump campaigners hounding voters "nearly nonstop."

Ugh, if this is true, hope they are getting it recorded and on the news.

A vote for Trump is a vote to keep Taco trucks off of every corner.

Not surprised. These people have proven they have no shame and zero qualms with actively using violence or the threat of violence to attack those they consider the "enemy".

The three big Trump supporters at work today are already salty and talking about how Hillary is gonna turn this country into a smoking crater. Nice to see they have already reached the acceptance stage.

I'm still waiting for the 1000 years of darkness to start when Obama won

To follow up on the new tax info: Early on in the process (right after Trump's old tax return released), somebody tweeted at the NYT on if we could assume they had more. They affirmed that we could assume that they did.

Early voting in Florida has surpassed the state's entire election turnout in 2000 - official figures

:eek:

Miami-Dade already has 760k votes....the total vote in Miami-Dade in 2012 was 889k.

Steve Schale thinks Miami-Dade will hit >1mn turnout. All of that, nearly all of that will be padding her margin.

Similar story for Broward.

Similar story for Orange County.

The raw R vote in Miami, Broward, Palm Beach and Orange County is basically static.

It's straight up murder happening in Florida right now.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
For a second I didn't see the the dot in front of the 7 and started to freak out.

I didn't see it until I read the article and was very confused because the article is slanted towards a big Clinton win.

CNN says Hilary's campaign sent legal warning letter to networks carrying ads from Super PACs saying she's still under investigation.
