I posted it yesterday, but McAuliffe should appoint Khan as Kaine's Senate replacement in VA. The more I hear from Khan, the more impressed I become.

No. The guy has no experience. We shouldn't be making appointments on their ability to troll people

Nah, she's a very easy target, and without House control, the Democrats are screwed in terms of policy, while still bearing the responsibility for the direction of the country.

In the long term it is only inevitable that a GOP president will return for this reason alone. GOP is trying their damned hardest to make sure it's long term, though lol.

I don't see how this is possible. Demographics are obvious, the old world is no more on high-turnout elections such as the the General. African-American turnout is impressively high, that community has finally realised it can seriously impact elections. Hispanic turnout has only one way to go and that's up. Non-college educated white males are declining in share of population. Red states are being turned purple.

The Dems are on the verge of being recession-proof on the Presidential level. The Blue wall is likely over 270 EV given Virginia coming into the fold and PA being fools gold. The paths to victory are large and varied with an electorate turning Democrat +1.2% every 4 years. It's an unstoppable train. The SCOTUS should be able to start fighting back against the gerrymandering from 2017/18 in time for 2020.

The only thing Democrats need to fear is turnout. The Republican party is finished on the Presidential level as long as Democrats have a competent GOTV plan. In low-level races on low turnout, their old reliable base will come out but they just get swamped at the national level. These are the death throes of the Southern Strategy with a more inelastic electorate as a whole till the climate normalises when the R's start running for the true center (a hard ask given they will almost certainly face backlash from the 30% racist base).

For 2020 the GOP is utterly fucked. The will again go down the "not conservative enough" path for the rabid base. Their position with Hispanics are likely torched for 2-3cycles at least (in which time the Blue Wall could well be 300+ EV)

That's a 12 point bounce, not 7. Had Trump +3 before.

Of course bounces are just response rates.

But it's pretty clear that Clinton's numbers seemed to have recover to around pre-FBI stuff.

Which is pretty fucking bad for Trump.

And maybe this can keep getting worse thanks to the Khans.


Silver's Now-Cast is going to move pretty big for Hillary soon!

But, you have to defend it because you can't afford to lose it. Like, if you let Hillary run unchecked...and she manages it...but you successfully defend NC, you're still fucked. Obviously, I don't think Trump has the resources to defend it, but you can't just look at state that's a lot closer than it should be and shrug and hope for the best.

I mean, I agree, in a world in which he loses Georgia, the race is called at 11:00pm, but still.

I mean a world where he loses Georgia is probably a world where he basically gives up before the election occurs and preemptively declares it rigged.

Where's the terrible OT thread about how Hillary is hugely in the lead again?

Or do we only do those when Trump is leading?

She's +8 in the 4 way race.

Looks like people are starting to drift from "maybe I'll vote 3rd party" to "nope, Trump is too dangerous."

edit: or maybe not. Seems the percentages are still high for 3rd party.


Also, what does it say that when people see 4 choices, they're more likely to not pick Trump/Clinton than if there is just "other?"

Going off how much Hill's lead drops in the 4 way I'd guess a lot are Bernie supporters switching to Jill.

They're coming around and they'll continue to come around. Stein consistently saying looney things doesn't work the way it does for Trump.

Hopefully this bounce is durable - a lot of it seems to come from people who were willing to back Clinton before the email controversy made its way back into the spotlight. Just keep them permanently on Team Clinton.

I mean does anyone really expect the debates to be anything but an unmitigated disaster for Trump?

Bounces are almost never durable. We'll be back around to diablosing by Sept. 1.

I would not be surprised if Trump backs out; he's already laying the groundwork to just not do them. I suspect he will show up and then just get annihilated, of course. He doesn't know anything about politics and spewing pablum doesn't work on that stage.

No one. You win Georgie by driving up urban turnout and winning over college educated whites and women in the suburbs.

Can voters stop lying and saying they're voting for Johnson and Stein? We know the real numbers are going to be more like 1% and 0.2%, unless you're talking about a state with a lot of hard anti-Trump Mormons

IIRC Obama retained much of his DNC bounce in 2012 until the first debate.

There are some good things in that CNN Poll!

Do you think the policies being proposed by Donald Trump will move the country in the right
direction or the wrong direction?

Right: 38
Wrong: 59

Do you think the policies being proposed by Hillary Clinton will move the country in the right direction or the wrong direction?

Right: 48
Wrong: 50

Has Right Experience to be President
Hillary: 67% Applies, 32% Doesn't apply
Trump: 31% Applies, 68% Doesn't Apply

Will United the Country
Hillary: Will 48%; Will Not 51%
Trump: Will 33%, Will Not 66%

They're now tied in the "Honest and Trustworthy" category at 34/64

Did the convention make you more or less likely to vote DEM
49% More, 39% Less

On the GOP side, that was 42/44

During the GOP primaries, last-minute deciders broke for anyone but Trump. I wonder if that phenomenon would transfer to the general. It could give an additional 1 - 2% for Hillary.
