Idiocracy

[Kin]

He (and others) were burned by Trump during the primaries in the sense that they didn't give him much/any chance to win (great read on that retrospective) which could be informing some of that conservative-ness.

Yeah, I'm not enough of a stats guy to really have intelligent things to say re: the various methods he uses it just strikes me that his "Polls-Plus" model effectively does the same thing as he's saying tripped him up here.

That said, we're just talking about the difference between a few percentage points but it still strikes me as odd. Either way, I'm happy to go with the PEC and RCP stuff.

In a nutshell...

"Trump hasn't managed to ignite some White Power movement...what he's done is relegitimize attitudes that had become unacceptable in polite conversation and often career-ending in public discourse."

Sad.

"[Republicans now] owe it to the country to clean up after themselves.  It's time to renounce and marginalize the last vestiges of a 1950's social order --if not from a moral imperative, then surely from a political one".

About time.

There's a lot flying down the pipe right now as we hit the home stretch.

I'm not into poking fun of illiteracy or learning impediments, but when it's a pompous sociopathic rapist/racist/misogynist/eugenicist/tax evader running for the highest office I'm okay making the exception.

I tell you with some of the statistical models tightening and the panic on my twitter feed I'm having a solid three or four "Thank fudge I'm Canadian" moments a day.

I think that too, but then I remember we're in the blast and fallout radii.

There is no way Americans follow through with this protest to the ultimate end....is there??  Surely they just hold their noses and vote Hillary when the ultimate decision has to be made??  No matter how much they dislike and distrust Hillary they can't elect Trump to stop her can they??

You just have to remember that Buffalo is probably the least strategically important city they have.

And Detroit is already basically in a post-nuclear explosion state already.

The big fear is that all that closet racists show up and vote Trump.

Whatever the case may be, the safest place is probably wherever Ovechkin is.

Considering his home base, that going to be heavily dependent on who's pissing off who.

Anyone with a prediction? I like it as Clinton 307, Trump 231

I think it could be a little closer than that - Clinton 301, Trump 237 - but, I'm really hoping McMullin pulls off the victory in Utah, making it Clinton 301, Trump 231, McMullin 6.

So what's it gonna be tonight?  Armageddon or just WWIII?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Off to a great start.
