US President 2016 - the Great Horse Race

[Shadowy Man]

Some woman in the elevator asked me: "So I voted in the primary already. Do I have to vote in November, too?"

The American equivalent of the British person who googled "What is the EU?" after voting to exit it.

With somebody that clueless, maybe she should have been answered, "No".

As you know, if it is on the internet it must be True(tm). Anyhow, last days of Rome compared to USA.

Thank you. Saved me from searching for the similarities.

Great News for Trump! He is well up in Oklahoma, rated the reddest and most likely least to be vacationed in state.

Latest national polls show Hillary Clinton leading, leading, leading, leading, and leading. Trump is expected to go out on stage today and insult the elderly and white people to complete his list of people to insult.

Only because its all rigged.

Actually he insulted babies.

 

[blastula]

Yeah, but the baby was crying viciously at him.

 

[Tristan Scott]

Look, the baby was a loser, ok?

This is so pathetic it is down-right funny at this point.

He was right to want that baby gone. Toddlers have killed more Americans than Terrorists.

Now that IS funny

So funny, and so true. If this became known to all the middle class white voters, Trump's support would drop 25%.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

That was the the greatest display of passive aggressive I've ever seen. He can say it was a joke, but it really comes off like he is a major league asshole... like he is really trying hard to crash his candidacy.

It seems to many outsiders looking in that this presidential election is becoming farcical!

It became farcical a long time ago. That's what happens when people run a clown.

I read that article, and it talks little about the last days of Rome. Most of it is moaning and groaning about governments spending money on things that the author dislikes, and the author did not even try to make detailed comparisons.

Damn democracy.

I'm hearing speculation that The Don is getting an idea that he's going to lose the election, so he's already starting to spin up the Excuse Machine. That way, after the election, the lie will have been repeated enough to become truth.

The Establishment was against me!
The Election was rigged!
The Debates were scheduled on the wrong nights!
The Media didn't pay enough attention to me!
She paid people to talk bad about me!

I'm trying to picture Donald Trump graciously conceding the victory to Hillary Clinton, and I'm getting nothing. You think there was a lot of impeachment talk about Obama's heritage? Wait until 40% of America believe that had Hillary Clinton not mumbledy-mumbledy then Trump would have won.

 

[jonatha]

Wait until 40% of America believe that had Hillary Clinton not mumbledy-mumbledy then Trump would have won.

I don't think it will be 40%.

A nontrivial fraction of registered Republicans are not going to vote for Trump. They'll not vote for President at all, or vote for Johnson, or even vote for Clinton.

I haven't seen any estimates of what percentage of the LV will do that though....

 

[funinspace]

Though I don't think much of polls at this point regarding 'who yah goin to vote for', it is impressive that we now have polls showing a dead heat for Arizona and Georgia. These are 2 states that Trump shouldn't have to fight for...
