Yeah there were GOP Elected officials calling for Obama to be IMPEACHED because of passing Obamacare or something. If Hillary says the word "classified" during any public or private speech, they'll have hearings in an instant.

Don't we already know there were work related emails not initially turned over according to Comey? Maybe I am not remembering that correctly. How are these going to be any different that the ones they already announced they weren't prosecuting her for.

Looks like my memory is probably not failing me after all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rn-over-uh-oh/

That article is just assertions, it's missing citations. Tradition and precedent are no barrier to today's gop. So would the Supremes stop them? It's not clear they have that power. It will be an interesting prop market.

seems like drumpf's absolute best case scenario

his best bet to win something else to put him over the top is probably NH, gl w that



ofc IRL she'll probably ship one or more of NC, FLA, NV, AZ, OH etc

ah that is true. I suppose some sort of intentional obstruction would be necessary given the precedent.

Well, the Supreme Court can review.

I know right? Thanks for commenting on my post.

Lol at the naïveté here, they'll burn things to the ground if they have to

They've already found work-related emails that she didn't turn over. So, no, it isn't a problem.

From Comey's July statement:

Apart from it being possible i think it would be a move that is too crazy even for gop. I think ppl need to factor in that there likely is political consequences of going ham on the first female president. Its the same with those who think gop will actually wait 4 years before giving a supreme court hearing. Its a difference in what the consitution might allow as to what you can survive doing in politics.

Last week's deployment of D heavy hitters should be: one Obama to NC, one Obama to CO, Sanders/Warren should be going between MI/NH, Kaine/Biden PA. Maybe Bill can do something in FL or NV. Hillary can do whatevez.

Donald Trump is running for president.

Nothing is too crazy for the GOP.

Nothing.

When Clinton wins in a week, how will the failure of the 25 year effort on the part of the republican party to bring her down stack up against other all time political failures? Is there even one that compares?

Can we just make a "post your stupid hopeful speculation about the emails here" threat so that GBP stops making this one worse"

Rome never conquering Germania?

Its not like they are gonna give up.

What's going on at the FBI?

Starting to think maybe a Trump victory will be better in the long run than a narrow Clinton victory. After 2 years of Trump disaster, the 2018 midterms will usher in a sane congress. Then in 2020 we might get enough of a mandate to fix Obamacare/add a public option/single-payer.

OTOH a narrow Clinton win where Republicans keep both houses is going to be absolute ****-show, guaranteed slaughter in the 2018 mid-terms (HilLIARy refused to compromise on ANYTHING!), and president Cruzgeddon in 2020 with a filibuster-proof senate majority.

How much damage can Trump really do in 4 years? Maybe the hit is worth it to break out of this insanity. W/o a Republican president to **** things up, the crazies are just going to get angrier and angrier every 4 years.

**** no a Trump victory for a day is a failure greater than any failure this country has ever been a part of. It's like stacking 37 Vietnams on top of one another. Want no part of this scumbag and his family near the White House. Embarrassed to even call myself American after watching this election unfold. We have to be better than this, right? Riiiiiight?

Trump supporters: Doesn't so much actually care about the results of the election, just wants to see people who would ask him to treat others with basic human decency hurt.

Supreme Court, tho.

Plus, GOP civil war will be fun to watch and help to mitigate other problems for Dems.

This is dangerously wrong. What chance does the US President have of facing a serious foreign policy crisis. Maybe 30%? It is intolerable run that kind of risk with Trump in the White House.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Any model that is based on state polls will automatically have correlations between states because the polls themselves are correlated. But I don't think PEC, for example, adds in any extra covariance "by hand" because it wouldn't make a big enough difference.

Well this is ****ing stupid.

I think it's lunacy to assume much at all about 2020 at this point. Certiain it's far too up in the air to want to ellect Trump now to insulate against what you might think could maybe happen in the future.

The idea that we can tolerate two years of Trump for gains elsewhere is flat dangerous. Trump could have us all dead in 2 years.

ETA- this is also a pretty good example of White Privilege. A Trump win might not impact you now, it will for women, gays and people of color.

The idea that is the race is close is being propagated by the media in order to keep their ratings up. Blowouts don't bring in ratings.

It's been over and that will not change. If you're a gambler and aren't pounding away those odds on Hillary on PW you're missing out.

Right now whether the Dems get the Senate will be interesting.
