Well, sure, but that's 90% of the things that come out of his mouth/twitter.

An incredibly detailed @ballotpedia rundown of all there is to know about what happens if a candidate drops out. (link: https://ballotpedia.org/State_laws_and_party_rules_on_replacing_a_presidential_nominee) ballotpedia.org/State_laws_and…

Key takeaway: Based on state deadlines, a party only has until mid-August "to get a new name on ballot in enough states to be competitive."

For instance: Ohio's deadline is August 10th, Iowa's is August 19th, Pennsylvania's is August 20th. NJ & MI's has already passed.

77% of respondents heard about the Khans. That seems an astronomically high number.

This has been everywhere. Like...you couldn't escape this if you wanted to. It was all over social media. It was all over local and regional news. I have no clue how 23% of people missed it, to be honest.

She's facing one of the worst people to be nominated for president ever. I think a 10 point victory is definitely possible as long as she makes no major mistakes between now and november 8th.

What does that say about people's feelings for her? She's facing Donald fucking Trump.

LAS VEGAS– For the first time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has commented on the murder of Harambe the Ape, who was killed earlier this year.

In a brief interview at the Blackhat cybersecurity conference, an FBI employee played coy to any involvement the Bureau may have had with the murder of Harambe, which some allege was an inside job.

Read our exclusive interview with some dude guy in the FBI booth:
Gizmodo: Do you think the FBI had any role on the killing of Harambe the Ape?

FBI: Who?

Gizmodo: Harambe the Ape, from the Cincinnati zoo.

FBI: I have no clue, man.

Yea I know. Just noting the historical high percentage.

Can't think of that many political news stories that get that high awareness.

I agree with being skeptical of any number that's completely out of left field (ie. Trump getting 32% of the AA vote in NC, for instance).

But, that poll showed her getting 12% support among Republicans. I think her white numbers may improve a bit if there is significant crossover voting. It's something to keep in mind.

I bet Harambe uncovered the plot by Clinton and the establishment to rig the elections for her in the primary and the general election. That is why he was killed. He knew too much and was going to expose it.

You'd be surprised. My sister in-law has not heard about the Khans before I told her. She didn't even know about Benghazi and when I brought it up she thought it was a guy named Ben Ghazi!!!

Hillary would already run unopposed in Wyoming and Arizona. In another week you could add a bunch of other red states.

Not unopposed, Johnson and Stein would be no there.

But if Zona has already passed, lol. If somehow the GOP fielded someone in time, they could win Pa, Oh, and Fla and still lose because of Zona.


Anyway, I think the Trump dropping out thing needs to be ignored going forward. It's too late to drop out. And let's be real, if he did, the result would be a landslide of epic proportions.

The only way to stop Trump from being Trump is to keep him in a secluded area away from the internet and the public, otherwise he's just going to keep getting baited.

And O'Reilly will have a professor that says Trump has a 85% chance of winning.

You can't make this shit up.

It'll based on a model that pretty much only takes into account who the last 2 presidents were, and some economic data.

Which has been proven over and over again to be a stupid approach.

Does anyone know what Hillary has been doing the past few days? She's probably at hope sipping some tea while Kaine mows the lawn and Bill is trying to bake muffins.
Click to expand...
Today Hillary toured and spoke at a tie/scarf/fabric manufacturer in Denver and attacked Trump for outsourcing, and then had a rally. Tomorrow she's in Las Vegas. Yesterday, Kaine was in Daytona Beach and today was in Greensboro, North Carolina and is fundraising tomorrow.

When he's not just doing it to himself, yes.

Hope is the thing with feathers, my friend. We can only hope at this point, but right now, today, it surely does seem possible where I would have just been happy to get the presidency and maybe the senate before.

Does it matter? Jesus Himself could come back to earth and run as a Democrat, and by three months in, GOP voters and like-minded Independents would have branded him a dangerous socialist who is also a terrorist sympathizer because, I mean, he's BROWN.

To the GOP, anyone who is Not GOP is pure evil, or gets painted in that shade soon enough.

Oliver Stone? Sounds like we should be looking for multiple shooters then. "The sixth and fatal shot, Frame 3:13 takes Harambe from the front. This is the key shot. The ape going back and to his left, shot from the front and right...again, back and to the left. Back and to the left..."

Kayleigh on CNN is even essentially saying "Reign it in, Trump. Do it for me."

Fox News was a mistake. The first line of their reporting on their poll:

Sixty-one percent of voters think Hillary Clinton is dishonest, yet she’s opened up a big lead over Donald Trump in the latest Fox News Poll.

Like, do conservatives not get subtle?
Click to expand...

The dagger here is if these numbers are generally true then her "untrustworthiness" has been internalized and basically shrugged off. Like swing voters are saying "yeah, I don't really know if I can't trust her, but... whatever."

We've got to believe! If these margins hold, I think we'll sweep every swing state Senate race. I'll trust the great Wang's generic D/R numbers meaning we have an actual shot to take back the house at these margins.

I definitely think this is true. I think the election has turned into "Well...Hillary...I guess." Because, at the end of the day, she's maybe not everyone's favorite but she's not fucking crazy! She's not going to destroy the country or the economy.

The beautiful thing, the amazing thing, is this gives us the chance to control the Supreme Court for a generation. I just...THANK YOU DONALD.

You guys think that if Democrats take back the House in November (with a C+10 win, it's possible), there would be less Blue Dogs thanks to Republican gerrymandering? And the Democratic majority would be more open for progressive reform compared to 2008-2010?

Politics never ceases to amaze me how shitty pundits who fuck up beyond reason still have careers after they fuck up.
