Some people are saying they wish we still had a militant armed left in America. They could maybe do something about Trump. Just saying. Believe me.

Of course, I'm being sarcastic when I say he is Hitler.

Well, hopefully more people will have jobs for a start.

I hope they're really high paying jobs, as goods at Wal-Mart are going to be exponentially more expensive after you place tariffs on China and other low-income sources of goods. Americans rely on these sources of goods like a heroin addict.

Yup. I mean, it ain't gonna be Reagan circa '84 but Clinton is going to destroy Trump. I expect some really shocking results.

I mean, his expected EVs has dropped from 207.5 to 181.3 in the 9 days I've been publishing that. Linear extrapolation of that means he gets -75 EVs on electiond day. I think him getting -75 Electoral votes is fairly unlikely, but every model, mine included, has some outcomes of Clinton over 500 electoral votes. Those are obviously right tail outcomes for her, but from an electoral math perspective, that's how it happens, and it's fun to think about.

Since I was impressed by such bad posting, I have skimmed through the last ~150 posts of br0adwatsushy.

Good grief.

Awice is a total clown. He posted that Trump would pivot immediately after winning the GOP nomination to embracing Black Lives Matters, and openly praising their work to raise awareness about police brutality. I couldn't stop laughing. I actually offered to just straight up give Awice $50 if this ever happened. Looks like I won't be paying off that one. It's gonna be a sweat though, I'm sure Trump pivot is coming any time now.

Ooh!

I've got a fan. Whoopee.

I actually kind of agree with the Trump slappies here. it's reasonable to me that someone as a businessman makes decisions different than he would enact laws as a politician.

I think capital gains of stock options should be taxed more in Canada. But I'm not writing a check for a bunch of extra taxes that I don't owe.

Edit: Still a great ad though. Because Trump doesn't campaign or have supporters that understand the subtlety here.

Well yeah, you love TRUMP, there is no ad against him you would think is effective. It's not targeted at you, lol.

It's a fine web ad but wouldn't sink a nickel in media for it. It's a dumb argument and there are a billion good arguments to hit Trump on.

It cuts right to the heart of his appeal. His supporters are poor white guys who were largely employed in low skill jobs like manufacturing. These are the jobs lost under free trade. Trump is against free trade but never makes a single product in the US. He is the reason his very supporters are out of jobs.

Granted, it takes a functioning brain cell and minimal understanding of economics to piece that together-neither qualities his supporters or he possess.

But I don't think 'famous' is the right word, really.
Yeah, Trump won't be historically famous if he loses, even if he does so in spectacular fashion. If he wins, sure. I do think that was his motivation for running. Trump wants to be remembered forever, very badly.

Dude, there is absolutely no chance Trump knows that word. None.

Quite apparent that you are the one with the brain cell deficit buddy.

Trump has to operate under the same rules as every other business in the US. That's why he wants to change them, to create more jobs.

Good grief!

I guess Hil is going to have 11 more conventions with 4 consecutive days of wall to wall media, to fuel that "linear extrapolation" :-)

I mean a poll today has rump +11% in Texas and the RCP average has Hil +6.3 nationally (down 20% from 2 days ago). That doesn't get near 400 EV let alone 500.

Hil had a 6.8% lead in the RCP polling average on 6/28 and she has a 6.3% lead today after all the 'noise' from the FBI excoriating her but not prosecuting her on the e mail server and both conventions.

The race is amazingly stable and probably will remain that way because they are both two loathsome individuals, Hil is merely less loathsome, but just as dangerous to the republic.

I missed the federal law which mandates all goods must be made outside the US. Could you please educate me and cite it.

Thanks.

It's important to remember just how common and widespread this **** is on the right. The idea that blacks do the fraud votes is not some fringe view, ACORN was an obsession that gripped even the most moderate movement conservative.

But, to their credit, Romney and McCain remained above it. The candidate doing that **** is the sort of thing that could lead to violence on election day.
