Yep. The ads are for the people in those districts who can vote those people out of office.

General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration - but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.

Considering I know this due to FAIRY FAKE NEWS GOD PARENTS I would say they talked about it a bit.

I remember there was concern among Black community that Clinton campaign did not start reaching out early, many were dismissed. This was a big misstep from the campaign.
In Michigan and Wisconsin, black turnout was down 12%.
in PA, it was down 2.1%.

What is Devin Nunes up to right now by the way? He's seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth.
Does he not realize the Obama administration fired Flynn and then his administration ignored this fact and put him back in a position of power? Such an idiot.

You also have to take into account the insane voter suppression tactics in those states that affected the black community. It's not just about Hillary reaching out but also about the suppressed vote.

I think the campaign, and everybody, expected black turnout to be down.
An old white woman, no matter how lengthy her connections and familiarity to the black community is just not going to get the turnout of the first black President.
They may not have expected it to be down as much in some of these key states.
But what probably took by surprise in the home stretch is how white turnout was up.

Yes. They hit their turnout marks, by and large. They just completely missed the flood of white rural turnout. I had said several times during the campaign that there were no "shy Trump voters" as evidenced by the primaries, but there really were. A lot. (Also, those northeast late primary Trump thrashings were probably a warning sign more than just light polling.)
I wonder if the resignation toward black voter turnount inevitably being down from 2008/2012 created a feedback loop within the campaign that made them less likely to take seriously on-the-ground concerns re: black turnout. Like, if you're already expecting black voter turnout to drop off and you're looking to make up the difference by driving up Hispanic turnout, and you have field directors in Florida and Michigan ringing the alarm bells on a lack of enthusiasm among local black voters, do you then continue to not act on those alarm bells because you already expected to do that worse among black voters -- and then consequently exacerbate the turnout problem even more?
Yeah, I had listened to hardcore history a few times years ago and loved it. I'll ad those and The Daily. Thanks!

I listen to Pod Save America and Pod Save the World religiously, but besides that I enjoyed Common Sense, Hardcore History, Accused, S-Town, and How Did This Get Made. Accused and S-Town are shorter podcasts that tell a story, while the others are ongoing shows. Hardcore History has episode arcs that make it easy to jump in. How Did This Get Made is a comedy show about bad movies, it's a great listen if you happen to have watched the movie they're discussing.

It's public. There'll be an official stream here: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/russian-interference-in-the-2016-united-states-election
But I'm sure literally every news network will have their own stream too so it shouldn't be hard to find it.

These lies will hurt him in the GE in 2020. Poor and middle-class don't really care about lies about tax cuts for the rich. They care about these when they get massive medical bill increases.
Awesome, thanks!

I don't think it's just that they were shy, but that there were systemic sampling errors in pre-election polling. It is very difficult to capture upswells of support that are constrained to a particular demographic when you are sampling with a different idea of what turnout will look like.
The Medicaid cuts don't take effect until after 2020 right? So, assuming a second term, it'll certainly hurt Pence or whoever else gets the nom in 2024, but the can may be kicked far enough down the road for Trump to escape his lies actually affecting his voters in time.
