Trump has spent the last three days complaining that Jay Z can use the n-word but he can't.

Yep this is what I meant... and the point I was trying to make was that allowing Donald to run as a Republican was a complete failure of GOP's leadership.

They're stuck though. If it wasn't Trump, some other numtpie would have taken up thw Nationalist banner. Santorum was revving up to be that guy, with a heavy patina of religiosity, but Trump beat him to the punch, and he wasn't covered in the stink of...loserdom, like Mr. Anal Leakage.

The split was coming, Ryan, Reince et al were just trying to manage an coopt it like the Tea Party, but their monster subsumed them, instead

as an outside observer, I think a lot of states are in play and the polls are quite off. AA support doesn't seem to be receding. Minority and Latino support is surging. White vote doesn't appear to be as strong as what pollsters think.

Cons try to play up the silent trump vote... but in this case I think it's a silent clinton vote.

Even though energy isn't there like obama 2008, I see some signs that it's probably going to be a bigger blowout than that election.

Corey Lewandowski is more of a sore loser than Trump, holy shit.

Just had a mini meltdown over Ana Navarro's vote and how she supports "failed" people.

We are less than 2 hours away from the big event! My Birthday!

Oh and I guess there's an election or something too.

All I want for my Birthday is a Hillary and Dem Senate win

He obviously has his cellphone.

They must've changed the password.

edit- he's not sneaking back; he's gonna have to force whoever has the pass to give it to him

I bet they changed his password to "Hillaryisbetter", and even told him that. He just can't type those words. Problem solved.

Navarro would be an excellent opponent in 2020 but the GOP is too racist/sexist to vote for her. I would love to be proven wrong.

He's glad she's voting for Hillary since given her track record of supporting losers means she'll lose too. I can't wait for tomorrow night.

Do people completely under-appreciate the importance of the rest of the ballot (beyond even the Senate and House stuff)? Even if you're not in a swing the rest of that stuff matters and in many ways affects you and your community in a much more direct way than the big ones. It's also something that your individual vote would have a much larger impact on.

It's just kinda crazy how low turnout generally is. (And yes I'm aware it's higher in this specific instance).

Yeah, turnout is depressing especially when people get to talking about third parties. Primaries are your chance to get your crazy wifi hating buddy on the ticket as well as a bunch of other stuff, but like 20 people are going to vote in your district.

I don't see her getting over 365EV's unless she somehow manages to win AZ, Georgia or some other non-battleground state with a lot of electoral votes. I can see her beating Obama's popular vote margin in 08 at this point.

I don't believe she can even run. That and her biggest downfall will be sympathy towards hispanics. The GOP base is not going to be suddenly okay with that idea.

All of the other GOP -ers were effective dog whistlers who knew when to apologize. I don't think they could have pulled the same group that Trump did.

Yep. But it was done in such a petty and pathetic way that it was super gross to watch. Like saying at the end of a game, "I'm glad I didn't win, I didn't even care the whole time."

You are right about a couple things, but you are confusing some things:

1) We will have a "David Duke 1991" effect wherein a blatant bigot being in danger of winning office causes a spike in minority turnout. Those are not shy Clinton voters though. They are unexpected voters who would have been considered Unlikely Voters.

2) Clinton is the one with an actual groundgame, which WILL make a very clear difference in results.

3) Shy Clinton voters will be white women who live in a Trump loving neighborhood and/or live with a Trump loving husband. They know they can't admit to voting for Hillary, but they won't allow for a man who brags about sexual assault to become POTUS.

Corey needs a good punch in the face. Get Joe Biden to take him out behind the bleachers.

Those were some amazing speeches from the Obamas. Holy shit.

Hillary's was pretty good. 2/3rds of Bill's speech got cut out in the stream I was watching so I don't know about that one.

I wish Joe would've given a speech.

Yeah. Even if she could run, the fact that she voted for Hillary would make all the deplorables write in Trump or David Duke.

Yeah it was a pathetic display of pettiness. He's such a sniveling sack of crap.
 
Let's put the cards on the table, folks. 2020 GOP isn't going to learn shit. They're gonna have massive chapped ass at #NeverTrump, all dozen of em, and be batching about being "stabbed in the back."

They're on a train that has to derail, burst into flames, amd then get swallowed by a fracking-induced sinkhole.

Gird your loins, folks
 
i really want to see cory on cnn tomorrow just melt the fuck down. guy is already unhinged. i'm expecting him to just suddenly stand up and scream at the top of his lungs and spontaneously combust
