We're all gonna be diablosing the two weeks heading up to the election because nobody will have a clue what turnout and demo will likely look like.

They don't like Rubio in Florida- he left them high & dry. Doesn't even show up for votes!

I had such high hopes for 538, then it turned out to be little more than throwing in a regression to hide the fact that the article is just the same old punditry you could find anywhere else.
Polls-only predicts her victory.

They should take him seriously, of course, and if there's a weird-ass way for him to win, that's it.
It still requires a craaaaazy amount of white votes, though. There'll be no election day surprise Trump victory. If she's in trouble, it will be VERY clear.

Rubio is done guys. And so is cruz. Its down to just watching tuesday night as Fox news has a melt down.
Being a Sanders supporter, at least I have some pleasure in being able to watch that occur. We can all agree this is glorious to watch unfold.

Sanders supporters are starting to freak out about Twitter censoring #WhichHillary tweets and removing it from the trending list. The source is DailyKos so...

Not saying they should take any chances, but this is gonna be a landslide election for the Democrats. Rubio and Cruz have already shown hints about the best way to attack Trump in the general.
With redistricting going on in some states, I'm even hopeful for the House at this point.

Twitter trends have a very weird and arbitrary formula that favors what is happening right now. It trended for like 10 hours. That's a long time.
Yes, indeed. For this moment at least, all liberals and progressives can gather around the giant dumpster fire that is the remains of the GOP and just kind of roast marshmallows and maybe some of those fun-sized weenies. We can all go back to bashing each other with polls and charts tomorrow. Tonight, let's just bask in the marvelous absurdity of all this.

How dare you schedule the NYCGAF meetup not in Ohio. I'm insulted.
I'm going narco free so that I can drink the fuck out of tomorrow evening. The pain pills aren't helping anyway, so I'm just going to have a couple dranks for my queen.

Would the GOP even keep the house on the off chance they actually run a third party bid?
i think the goal of running a third party would to keep perceived turnout high enough to stave off bad down ticket losses.

Keeping the House and Senate might be the only reason they do it. At that point, they'd be conceding the presidency to do it.

Yes. The conservative vote might split at the top of the ticket but it won't be split downballot.

Trump could easily just post a list for people to vote for when they vote in the GE and have those people beat the GOP independent option. Trumps crowd is so closed off and would just follow what he says.

Until tomorrow and Super Tuesday.

This is what I don't get about polls-plus. What value is it supposed to add over polls-only once you get close to the election? The ideas behind the polls-plus model don't sound unreasonable for trying to make predictions when you're far enough out that polls aren't reliable (even if this cycle is calling those assumptions into question, that's just a danger you have to live with as a modeler, particularly when you don't have a lot of data to work with) but once you reach the point that the polls actually are meaningful, it's harder to see what value is added by looking at endorsements.

I also think hes pissed off at the GOP establishment for interacting with Obama when his state needed the help. Didn't rubio attack him for it? This is him getting revenge.

I mean, this whole thing is just a cluster fuck. I'm sorry, but the GOP has completely lost their collective shit. I have no idea how they deal with this, really. If they let Trump run and throw support behind thme, they get his bloated corpse around their necks. They force a 3rd party person through, they're fucked but maybe they can save a bit of their Congressional support? Hahahahahahaha. Sorry. ; cough :
