I wonder how much "power" is shifted from a 51 seat majority to a 49 seat minority. I am guessing it is worth 2 Governors and 3 appeals court justices.

snopes does have some pretty liberal takes on fuzzy issues (like the exact meaning of things someone said). Which I wish they wouldn't do because it gives chiefsplanet a window to completely discount them on hard factual issues.

Voter turnout....

It hurts to be pissing off the people who might vote for Trump - people think she's talking about them, their nearest and dearest and their community.

Clinton was right to pull it back.

Obama-Romney
Obama-McCain
Bush-Kerry
Bush-Gore
Clinton-Dole
Clinton-Bush
Bush-Dukakis
Reagan-Mondale
Reagan-Carter

Tell me that "most likable" isn't as important as any policy position.

Looking like a condescending elitist is not a winner. And that's part of the reason there are a lot of people who won't vote for her. BoD is just one brick in the wall, but it's part of her not being seen as generally likable to a lot of people.

This is studied. Charisma and what it's components are and how it affects voting. People, a lot of people, are supposed to listen to her and feel like she's on their side. They're not supposed to know she not (though it's ok if a small enough number are this category) and they're not even supposed to wonder whether she is or not (that's too many people for her).

Pretty sure BoD does more to turn out liberals than it does to motivate Trump supporters with hurt feelings.

Stuart Varney going HAM

OK done. It's not and I don't think your list makes that case in and of itself. It also ignores that we're a much different political climate with far starker dividing lines than we were in the past. I just don't buy that likability is a big issue when the other guy is Donald Trump.

Again, who are these people and how many of them do you think there are?

Your entire argument seems based on "this is what I think a candidate should do" and isn't bothering to deal with the context of 2016.

Remember when Hillary killed four Americans? Reminding people that Trump said a Miss Universe was fat is the same thing.

There's no way to tell, so whatever, you could be right. It's not like either of us can prove anything. But, I think it would be harder to find someone who BoD convinced to vote for HRC than against her.

Consciously? Yes I agree. Like I said though I think this could be a long game all about driving a wedge between Trump and women. Or maybe she just blew it.

This argument reminds me so much of conversations I have about wrestling. Where there's this understood orthodoxy among "smart" fans about how to book a show and make money. This results in folks complaining that the company isn't doing things "the right way" and ignore that it's no longer 1980 and the way you engage the fans has totally changed. (in short, everybody knows it's not real, knows how the business works, wins and losses matter way less to fans who now just appreciate a worker's talent as a performer. Your champ can lose a non-title match and it isn't an issue that he "looks weak")

There's more information available for both sides. We know more about the candidates, we know more about the voters. Everything has changed. On top of that it's far more polarized as the Republican party has cast off reason and decency. The old rules simply don't apply, and if you rely on them you're going to aiming at targets that don't exist.

Amazing. The dude cannot let one single thing slide. Instead he brings constant attention to every negative thing ever said about him. How many of his fans weren't even aware of these newspapers coming out against him? Well they are now. It's fascinating how he can't get this.

I like that he can't just say TRUMP is scumbag he has to remind everyone Hill is Just as bad if not worse cuz Obama economy.

WRESTLING IS TOO REAL! SHUTUP DIDS!

Good on em but I think the Arizona paper should of stayed quiet on this one.

And here's why the media doesn't show more balls in calling out Trump: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/da...stom_click=rss

I don't think she meant to refer to people as deplorable. I think she meant to refer to those traits as deplorable and she just said it badly.

This is a good typo.

Wow. Clinton has got them in-fighting now. She laid the bait, Trump took it, and now the conversation is completely on Trump. Can't ask for much more.

Wouldn't it be 'too', as in 'also'? I wrestled with which to use.

A dude on top of her while they're covered by a blanket. Pretty lame.

It really is because he's had so many chances where if he'd just SHUT THE **** UP he'd look good, but instead those tiny fingers go wild on Twitter.

He's had so much success just talking constantly that he probably can't be convinced his dumb tweets are hurting him.
