My favorite thing in this cycle, by far, is the public confirmation that the entire evangelical bloc is a compete and utter fraud who isn't even worthy of my pity.

Vegas knows the polls are trash. When trump peaked about a week ago, the best odds i could get was 2:1. 538 said there was only a 55% chance she would win based on polls at the time so it should have been closer to straight up. I wanted to bet the house on Hillary but the odds didn't match the polls. This supports my idea that the polls are trash and they know it. They acted like Romney was winning last time around and he got wiped out.

10/1/2016 12:37:08 PM

Romney was winning once. The week after the first debate.

538 never had him as the favorite from what I remember.

[Edited on October 1, 2016 at 2:50 PM. Reason : Maybe you were following the unskewed guy? President Romney is winning in 2016 from him]

10/1/2016 2:49:41 PM

the 538 model functions similarly to Lunardi's bracketology models. They both fluctuate quite a bit during the data collection, but are then pretty solid once the data is in and it's time to vote.

10/1/2016 3:05:16 PM

and why would anybody even think about bringing up her husband's affair? It just makes no sense. Hillary hasn't been fought fucking around, and Donald has. I just don't see what he would have to gain from that. Is there a pro Trump person around that can explain this to me?

10/1/2016 3:54:21 PM

I remember the sympathy she received while it was all going down in the 90's.

The ONLY reason I could see the trying to do it would be to point to her hypocrisy about "trusting every alleged sexual assault" that she pushed a few months back.

:shrug:

10/1/2016 6:51:09 PM

^yeah but then your attacking something very personal instead of her public policy. Trump has got loads of personal shit with women that she could bring up and to date hasn't.

10/2/2016 5:37:06 AM

^^^What the right is going to drag out is how she attempted character assassination of the women who accused Bill of misconduct. True or not, that is their angle.

There's no way trying to bring up bills affairs works. Trumps best case scenario is to get Hillary to start arguing about it so she looks hysterical, but I don't see this happening, she's been dealing with this since at least the 80s.

10/2/2016 3:19:10 PM

Hillary knows to just bait the Donald and he will take it and become unhinged. It worked perfectly in the debate and the days following. His narcissism is the weakness she will continue to exploit.

10/2/2016 3:32:07 PM

I hope we get an insider post-mortem after the election that tells us which of the Farenholtd/Eichanwald/NYT Trump stories were actually tipped from inside the Clinton campaign. I refuse to believe the media spontaneously decided to start doing their job this late in the game.

10/2/2016 4:49:48 PM

Theres a lot of overlap between the media and the clinton campaign so I'm not exactly sure what you're proposing.

yeah, I think that he is just trying' to stay relevant.

10/3/2016 9:05:10 AM

I'm sure he has something but considering his obviously personal grudge against Clinton why should we believe anything he releases is true? And if the DNC leaks, which multiple federal agencies have said we're due to Russian hackers why should we believe the documents aren't altered?

He has lost all trust as far as I'm concerned.

10/3/2016 12:50:43 PM

If you had evidence of Clinton's "pay to play" corruption, when would a leak cause the most damage?

We saw the evidence of the DNC corruption come out right before Bernie was out.

The real question is, what would it take to get Clinton charged? The FBI is apparently bought off. DOJ obviously is. This kinda corruption is scary. Not to you resident hacks, naturally. #ImWithHer

Its not that surprising the last few presidents have done it. None of this crap is unique to Hillary and I think thats why democrats keep screaming sexism. People who supported bush and especially obama are turned off by hillary doing the same sort of things.

With me, I'm done with all of them and both parties so its not sexism but I certainly understand why that is such a popular argument. "Men have gotten away with corrupt leadership forever and suddenly its an issue when a women is about to do it"

Somebody went to Drudge Report today.

The Webb Hubbell thing I had never even heard before and seems completely without merit just by taking one look at Chelsea. Seems like the whole danney williams thing could be resolved with a paternity suit - not sure if one has ever been filed before, but if not I have no interest in learning why bc this revelation would have no impact on the election.

10/3/2016 1:40:12 PM

I mean there was DNA tests done. The damn article link on Drudge is literally still up from 1999.

Guess they are just desperate at this point? Daily Mail is obviously very right wing as well.

That was a DNA analysis from what I understand, not true DNA test using a sample from Clinton.

10/3/2016 1:55:21 PM

not sure what the funnier reaction is. JCE getting triggered yet again? or Earl telling us for the millionth time that he's done with both parties? in fact, i think the latter might have overtaken theDuke's "i'm a libertarian" for the most repeated statement in soap box history. mazel tov.

Its sad that I have to use that as a disclaimer because Americans have their heads so far in the sand. Without the disclaimer, anytime I criticise Hillary, I'm immediately labelled a trump supporter and bombarded with reasons why trump is going to kill us all.

Or on the other side, I could criticise Trump and get bombarded about how the war in syria has failed and Obamacare isn't the answer.

I'm above all of that. Those are so obvious any 3rd grader should understand that Trump should not be the president or that the wars have to stop. Its insulting that the nation is having such backwards conversation. Its probably going to take us 20 years to even start to discuss real problems (once they hit us in the fucking face) and that depresses me very much.

Personally I think any criticism of Clinton (or Obama) from you is fine.

But you go out of your way to defend Trump while throwing in a casual hedge that you don't like him.

It almost seems that since Bernie made you cry you have a massive agenda is all.

because its annoying how people don't realize why trump has been successful. There is no reason to vote for trump so its really bad when the media tries to spin stuff and twist his words to hurt him. That only makes him stronger. I defended him against some of the BS because its not necessary but also because the media is full of shit. So yes, I do have an agenda against the media that has created/perpetuated most of our problems including trump.

Instead of just trying to convince people that racism bigotry, sexism, and being an overall con are wrong, you should also take a step back and ask yourself the following questions

"Why would so many people support trump?"
"What could push someone so far that they would see trump as the answer?"
"Why have trump supporters completely disregarded all negative information about trump ?"
"Why does the media have zero credibility amongst trump supporters?"

10/3/2016 4:47:52 PM

Thats my point though. You are out of touch and haven't learned anything from history. Instead of reaching out to these people and trying to hear their real grievances, you take the easy way out and just label them as "stupid racists" and labeling me as "dumb" for not doing the same. That will only push them farther away and deeper into extremism. You continue to make the same mistakes with terror, and law enforcement as well.

Our failed government and neoliberal politics have turned the country into a breeding ground for hate. Most of these people realise the hatred is wrong but they have been pushed into a corner and feel like their voices have gone unheard to long. They are victims of racist manipulators. If they had a government that cared about them instead of corporate interests, they wouldn't be so vulnerable to the racist manipulators.

JCE calls it the "victim-narrative", you will probably call it "sympathising with racists" but its all the same. You can't end terror, racism, or rioting while simultaneously oppressing the people who are vulnerable to joining it and ignoring all of thier greviences.

Don't give the left too much credit for being full of smarties. I am sure that a ton of the liberal voting base would boil up over hearing that he hasn't paid any taxes in the past 20 years, even if he did so in a legitimate way.

10/3/2016 5:25:32 PM

You know, at this point, it's hard to believe there's much overlap between Trump supporters with "real grievances" and people who "realise the hatred is wrong". It's not like Trump has been subtle with his racism and xenophobia, if anything he's getting more explicit with each passing day. You're either ok with it, or are too stupid to realize it's hatred.
