We are? Did I miss a memo?

I would assume it's because he tends to give as much or more lip service to statistical outlier cop killings as he does to the routine street executions of black men. His evenhandedness definitely fails him when issues are so morally lopsided.

Who will forecast the forecasts?

Odds of Clinton victory —
PEC: 80%
NYT: 74%
Pwise: 70%
538: 59%

So, if a forecast that averages poll results is better than looking at individual polls, the best result should be obtained by averaging the forecasts. In other words, Hillary has a 71% chance of winning!

Seriously, though, interesting that 538 is so different from the others.

I think we need to come up with a time sharing agreement/roster for gay PoliGaf.

It's going to be really confusing if we can't remember who gets which Politician on which night.

Eh... I'm not super hot on politicians. I'd hatefuck some.

Okay, I really didn't have any problems with Kaine to begin with since VP-stuff is mostly just a huge nothingburger, but watching some of this stuff he's like, super adorable and cute and OMG! :3 I'm defintiely all aboard the Kaine-train now!

OKAY.

I have been meaning to make a thread about *this*. This is definitely way too touchy feely. Combined with the guy saying she's so pretty, saying things like he would date her if she werent his daughter...

"Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father ..." he said.

It's hardly the first time Trump, the Republican Party's 2016 frontrunner, has gone a shade too far complimenting his daughter.

"If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her," Trump cracked in a now-infamous 2006 interview with "The View."

Three years earlier, the billionaire real estate mogul described Ivanka as "6 feet tall" with "the best body" during an appearance on Howard Stern's shock jock radio show.

And then there's this...

Well, given the way she's looking at him in the younger picture, she might call all of her lovers Daddy.

[User 463088]

I'm man enough to admit when I was wrong about something. I was wrong peanut butter vodka and RC Cola, I was wrong in thinking that I looked good in board shorts and a man bun. I may have been wrong about Kaine.

I spent some of the evening watching his debate performances. He has a good debating style. He coudl tear apart the person he was debating without sounding like an ass. In fact, he was adorable doing it! His speeches on gun violence are really, really good. He's kinda adorkable.

So, like, I still would have preferred Booker, right? But, seriously, I think this guy is okay.

 

[Aaronology]

To repost from OT, I've spent the day getting a feel on Kaine. It's been reassuring, as I was initially a little disappointed in his pick. I can't say there is much I've found to dislike about him after day one. He's got a solid record, a great resume and is just so personable in every interview I've watched. This is a nice contrast to mi Abuela, who too often sounds a little calculating and cold when talking.

[Brinbe]

One major positive thing to consider with Kaine and Trump.

Winner: People who care about housing discrimination

Before Tim Kaine was a senator or a governor or a lieutenant governor or a mayor, he was a lawyer. A lawyer whose very first case was a pro bono assignment representing an African-American woman who’d been turned away from an apartment. The landlord told her it had already been claimed when she stopped by and said she wanted to look at it. She was suspicious and had a colleague call back later that day, and the landlord said it was still available.

Kaine won the case and began specializing in fair-housing issues as a lawyer.

By a weird coincidence, the very first time Donald Trump was quoted in the New York Times it was because of a Justice Department lawsuit accusing him and his father of discriminating against black renters (the Trumps settled, though without admitting guilt).

Kaine retained his interest in the subject as he entered politics, winning a $100 million jury verdict against Nationwide for discriminatory lending practices as mayor of Richmond. In the Senate, he’s continued to champion fair-housing issues even though it's an issue that doesn't exactly have a ton of appeal to swing voters or well-connected lobbyists.

With Kaine as vice president in the Clinton administration, people worried about housing discrimination will always have an open lane to the president.

These kind of potshot attacks are really crass.

There's plenty of substantive arguments to be made for Trump being a disgusting person, but calling him 'gross' for simply being touchy with his daughter is crossing the line.

None of us here know what their relationship is like and at a base level, there's nothing wrong with what he did.

I hate the guy as much as the next person but not everything Trump does is an atrocity, you know?

So with Kaine essentially living in Telemundo and Univision for the next couple of months, can he drive Trump's support among Hispanics to sub 10%?

I agree with brainchild. This incest stuff is pretty crass.

I would like to keep focus on how Trump is a fascist white nationalist.

I apologize if you thought that my comment was specifically directed at you, but I was actually talking about the masses of people in general who make these kinds of comments regarding Trump and his daughter. I just don't think it's a fair assessment of his behavior in this regard without knowing more about their relationship.

No need to apologize. I'm just glad to be back and not have to deal with the Bernie vs Hillary feud anymore.

BTW, I was very satisfied with Bernie's endorsement of Hillary and Hillary's pragmatism throughout this process and I think she'll be an effective president

So with Kaine essentially living in Telemundo and Univision for the next couple of months, can he drive Trump's support among Hispanics to sub 10%?

Sub 10% is unlikely at this point unless hispanic turnout increases by an insane amount in this election and almost all of these hispanics go to hilary. He's most likely going to get somewhere between 10% and 20% of the hispanic vote in this election, He will moxt likely end up being the presidential candidate with the lowest share of the hispanic vote since tracking on hispanic voters started.He just needs to beat gerald ford for it to happen.

According to this gerald ford only got 18% of the hispanic vote in 1976.The second lowest is bob dole in 1996 with 21% of the hispanic vote.

[Abinash117]

So with Kaine essentially living in Telemundo and Univision for the next couple of months, can he drive Trump's support among Hispanics to sub 10%?

It depends what the rest of 25-30% that vote Republican are like. Hispanics are pretty diverse within themselves and it would be hard to make it sub 10%. I expect a high Hispanic turnout that should benefit Hillary, but it depends if those Hispanic GOP voters are going to vote for Trump.

Kaine might have a better chance of connecting with them then Donald ever could. Donald's outreach is more or less shit and same goes his GOTV operations. Kaine will definitely get some more on the Dem side, but I say it'll be more of Donald being shit than Kaine doing anything. But, there's still potential depending on how the Dems play the game.


I actually think that the entire GOP campaign might have a lower turnout for them both the two campaigns still have low staffers and people in the field, this is a good opportunity for the Dems right now.

 

[nature boy]

Yes, I was a bit optimistic going sub 10% but the 15% range is doable if those polls with a larger sample of latinos are accurate.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Kaine should live in Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Florida.

 

[sangreal]

: gag :

Unsurprising that Trump and his fans dont know or care that this would be illegal. You gave to be out of the military for at least 7 hears to serve as Secretary of Defense

 

[Diablos]

I'm on the Kaine train too. He's a solid pick and it's hard for Republicans to hate him.

Just hope that 160k doesn't come back to bite him in the ass lol

Uhhhh. Ivanka pulls back instantly - not as if she's disgusted or not used to that - but as if she's like "dad not here".


In all honesty though, before this campaign she's always come across as a really smart and decent person. Her speech was basically a ringing endorsement of liberalism.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

The funniest thing is that Warren's attacks should theoretically get less play in the press now that she's no longer a VP candidate (one downside of her not being selected). All Trump has to do is ignore her. Hahahahahahahahaha.
