So I have a specific request.
Does anybody know where I could find a internal polling memo with analysis. From previous campaigns? Do those ever come out?

It's called evil, kid.
I'm not entirely sure those get released. Cybit would know better though. All I know is I've never seen one.

I have to imagine the internal polling memos from the Romney campaign would be a good read. The analysis would just be a bunch of unskewing.

So Manafort won. Wow. I'm guessing thus also could suggest the RNC is gaining some leverage on Trump. His campaign is imploding and he needs the party's infastructure ASAP.
But how long until Trump throws another fit and blows up whatever "progress" Manafort or the RNC manage to make.

Spoilers: No Republican wants Scott Walker to actually be president.
Chart shows the first choice of Republicans if they had to choose between the 17 guys as of now.
Scott Walker is amazing on paper still though.
Are Manafort and the RNC really united in their goals? Manafort is a two-bit man-servant for a dictatorship.

Wasn't he stripped of most of his duties after the scuffle with that journalist?

I'm not really looking for the content but more so the style. I have a job interview/test and want to kind of understand who they are written.
I imagine public polling memos (like ppp or luntz) would be stylistically the same just with different data?

Nah, he continued to hold a large amount of power for months afterward. The polling collapse and the office war between him and Putin's dude led to the firing.

Wonder why Trump waited this long to kick Lewandowski out. Smoke, fire, etc?

I doubt much will change, it's not like Trump was listening to his advisers.
This is a bigger issue:
Ouch.

I agree to a point. That bombshell is going to go off at some point and get a shit ton of coverage.

Speaking of which, the SC punted back the state assault weapon ban challenge, and ruled 5-3 in favor of this drug case, which I'm a bit conflicted on.
Stupid question, but what happens if the 8 of them are tied?

The lower court ruling stands, but no precedent is set.
Lucky for us the lower courts are basically all liberal (thanks Obama)
Now that I think about it, it is pretty crazy that the GOP (beyond Grassely in IA) haven't been hit hard at all over their intransigence over Garland yet. I thought it was going to be a major theme this cycle, but Trump's managed to fuck this up so much that he's turned it into a minor issue.

I just don't think it's an issue the voters really understand the importance of or really care for that matter. SCOTUS isn't emphasized in civics classes.

Why did DoJ not release the full 911 transcript? Didn't really make sense to me to redact it.

We talked about important cases but so many of them were in the past, people didn't really understand how important the court really is. This issue is just something the Dems will most likely never succeed with on the communications side. Even when the republicans were talking about HRC nominating librullllll justices in debates, I doubt it was connecting with their voters either.
Hillary's already stopped talking about it on her Twitter.

In mine we did a weird thing where we discussed pretty heavily if the SC had too much power, citing stuff like Dred Scott.
You'd leave the class feeling like the SC was a couple bad justices away from being tyrants. And this was from a fairly liberal school from a super hardcore liberal teacher.

Walker's problem is that the gap between how he looks on paper and how he is in reality is huge. It's kind of the same problem Sarah Palin had back in 2008.
If you're a Republican, then "conservative governor who won over a deep blue state" sounds perfect. There's just a few problems. Wisconsin isn't actually all that blue. He had the good fortune to be up in Republican wave years and to be succeeding an unpopular Democratic governor. He's faced weak opponents each time, the Wisconsin Democratic Party is a mess, and the recall effort earned him sympathy. His act has worn thin in Wisconsin (his approvals are 39-57 in the latest Marquette Law School Poll). He's also just completely out of his depth in a national campaign. He has no ability to improvise or think on his feet, hence you get gaffes like "build a wall with Canada." It's a testament to how bad his opposition has been in Wisconsin that none of his opponents have been able to knock him off his script, because he sounds like a complete moron once you do.
In the run up to the Republican primaries, I wasn't sure how things would shake out, but the one thing I was sure of was that Walker would flame out early.

There's a Change.org petition demanding we make Bernie the nominee. And the guy who started it set his profile picture to him lifting his shirt and showing his abs. He wants 8 million signatures. He's at 7k. Can someone convert that using FRAUD and retroactive momentum please
The best possible outcome! Lewandowski wasn't fired to let the RNC take control, he was fired because Trump's family hated him!

Pataki is the most electable person on the chart

I've outsourced the work to Tyler, but it might be a while before he gets done adding more variables.

I find the idea that Trump's children are the real brains behind the operation to be hilarious.
Like in my head, Ivanka is Bowser Jr, basically doing all the grunt work and coming up with the ideas, while Trump, as Bowser, just plays his part as the big brute and tries (but fails) to intimidate people and generally just messes everything up because of his ego.

I swear, the HBO adaption will play like a comedy, with scenes of Trump campaign staff running around, screaming, Trump holding severed heads aloft while frantically pointing to catastrophic polling numbers . . .
. . . with quick cuts to Hillary just sitting quietly having some breakfast with Bill.
I think it was said they don't want to allow anything that can be used for propaganda. Which in truth it would be.
