shoulda gone with the white power tie
Yes, I know, and yet, he still has heavy NRA support.

Thanks. Listening to Trump is like having a fever dream and I couldn't find an article talking about it despite it being a crazy fucking thing to say, even by his standards.
One might say he is part of the establishment

Making money off of those poor people who can't afford their houses! Great business!

This guy put on a shit eating grin when discussing stiffing people in business deals, avoiding taxes, betting on the housing crisis, and openly practicing housing discrimination. He also lied about the success of Stop & Frisk and advocated its use on a wider basis.

I'm sure this has been posted already, but it bears repeating

That's pretty rich from the guy who won't shut up about Hillary's deleted emails.
Edit: Nevermind then, jumped the shark a little bit.

The feed says the deletions are bogus though.

538 says Trump surged in polls after this. Wtf is wrong with America.
I think it was giving people that error message because too many people were trying to look it up at the same time.

Actually it's still there.

When you delete a tweet, I don't think it would still show the original one...lol.

Don't listen to polls. It's those same internet douchebags voting Trump up in every single poll
538 says a lot of things
the actual polls won't be out for a hot minute, the reaction stuff ain't worth it's weight in cyber bucks yet

Oh please. Hillary's racial bias answer alone was more nuanced and intelligent than anything Trump has said in his entire stint as a would-be politician.

538 would be talking about actual polls.
the most recent tweet from nate is an assumption that clinton gains 2-4% as per historical averages since 1984 anyway.
I just can't understand the mindset of the working class Trump voter. I mean yeah if your a rich guy I can understand it because he wants to cut your taxes but where is the benefit for the little guy in voting for Trump? Here is a guy who talks about how bad the economy is, all the while blatantly admitting tax evasion because he's "smart". He also has no issues admitting he benefited from the global financial collapse. It's like voting for Mr Burns. He's a cartoon villain.

Is there any update on polls?
Literally impossible. Polls haven't come out yet... I'd have to see the 538 article.
It's smart, that's what it is. Much like saying "it's smart" on live TV unprompted during the debate.
yeah, we won't know for sure at least for another day or two what's starting to stick, though.
It'd be interesting to see how the swing states go.

True or not, the emotion behind the trade deal rhetoric is strong among working class people who are out of work. Bernie used this to his advantage as well.

It breaks my heart to see someone as accomplished and experienced as Hilary Clinton having to spend even as second debating a person like Donald Trump.
This is unreal. Just look at these two people and who different they are. How can anyone rational even think about being undecided between these two people? I mean what the hell.

Trump is claiming on Fox News that his microphone was sabotaged.
He's the 'escape route other'.
'My life is shitty right now and there are policies that make my life more shitty. There needs to be a change. Vote Trump!'
I think he said that right after the debate finished.
Hilarious.
Ever watch The Critic?
Donald Trump is LITERALLY duke philips. There is an episode where Duke runs for president that is EXACTLY like this election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjYo3IzC8N0

Article? It's a constantly updating aggregator.

Silver thinks Clinton's polls will be going up anyway though.

Ah ok, thanks. Was really worried for a sec.
If only we had better cyber.
I think it's his excuse for being really, really inarticulate. Like just look at the Buzzfeed select quotes on the 'inspirational pics'. Half of them flat-out don't make sense or break meaning.
Precisely
Polls reflecting the debate won't be up until the end of the week. Unless they're crappy polls.

The loopholes shouldn't be there, but if they are there, wouldn't any smart business man use them?
Like, the connection between Duke Philips and Donald Trump are crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t48Qt5nGCQs
That's something that was actually a donald trump thing for a while!

Keep in mind that (legally) minimizing your tax burden isn't "tax evasion", it's just good business practice. For public companies (like the oft-cited GE), it's part of the financial wizardry that keeps their earnings in line with estimates and thus protects their share price.
High corporate taxes are red meat to liberals who want companies to pay their "fair share", but those lawmakers are willfully ignorant of the fact that the finance teams within these companies are smarter than they are in this arena, and *will* find ways to manipulate a complex tax code to pay little to nothing in taxes on billions in earnings.
Meanwhile, the small business owner doesn't have access to those resources, and shoulders a disproportionate burden.
And gloat about it? When you're the candidate for the "little guy"?
Would a smart business man boast about it to people who pay more and do their part... and need the support?
Maybe a moral obligation if you see yourself as one to "make america great again"??
If your campaign is contingent on this idea that you are above the corrupt sociopolitical workings of our world because you're so rich that money becomes meaningless to you, you better be above using said loopholes at the expense of the nation you supposedly care so much about.

This is Trump we're taking about though.
What kind of cop out low-bar expectations is that? Yeah it's trump, so what? Fuck the guy for it.
