To be honest, that would be a less idiotic reason to vote against Hillary than the stupid fucking emails.

The FBI investigation ties into the emails though. There's really not a difference.

Who's going to fucking sit here and say "At first I was going to forgive her for the emails, but then I heard they found duplicate copies of those emails, VOTING FOR TRUMP"

I know that having 0 empathy has been a set requirement fot the GOP for a while now but its really starting to get depressing. Trump has marginalized literally every type of person on earth except white men.

has said disgusting things about women, the disabled, Mexicans; he has insulted our military, POWs and leaders. and much more. and thats just from this campaign season.

we always get that faux outrage from the right whenever Trump says something deplorable about (group x) but they all fall back in line soon after. (why is McCain not pissed off with Trump again)

we don't need a "n-word" tape. we need one that marginalizes white men. because they won't give a shit otherwise. even when Trump says something sexist about women they have to bring up scenario where it affects them personally just so thet can come out against it. (see: "I HAVE A DAUGHTER/WIFE/SISTER/MOTHER!")

that is why this is fascist movement. it has always been 'us vs them' with the deplorables. and in their eyes, the more exclusion the better.

nobody. The FBI business wasn't meant to change minds. It was meant to remind low enthusiasm republicans that had tuned out that HILLARY IS A CRIMINAL YOU HAVE TO VOTE.

Everyone else who had decided to vote for hillary or against trump wasn't going to be moved at all by "more email investigations."

James Comey's cock-tease caused Chaffetz to vote for Trump. And this means that Chaffetz can never look his daughter in the eye again.

So Comey did one good thing by ruining Jason Chaffetz's relationship with his daughter.

After Obama gave poor people health care, saved the economy, and regulated Wall Street, 40% of the country suffered through so much economic anxiety that they decided to vote for a guy who actively promotes the idea that Muslim children should be left to die in war zones or should be murdered by the state if their parents were terrorists.

North Carolina that high? What happened? (I got up an hour ago)
Click to expand...

that was nate cohn's estimate.

Already, about 2,892,000 people have voted in North Carolina, out of about 4,642,000 we think will eventually vote. Based on the voting history and demographic characteristics of those people, we think Hillary Clinton leads in North Carolina by about 6 percentage points. We think she has an even larger lead – 9 percentage points – among people who have already voted.

And to think many thought this OP would be the last before election day. God help us if the long rumoured Oppo is dropped tomorrow.

Regarding that upshot poll-those numbers are true assuming that the original sample was correct. It's an interesting experiment to see if you can translate a high quality public poll and incorporate EV results for a high confidence prediction, but if the voter slice the poll took was wrong then it will shift.

Not saying it will or won't shift. What I do believe about NC is that there is a significant change to more early voting preference across all voters. There's also a lot of partisan Dem votes out there that Hillary's campaign should be easy to reach. Not sure if I can say the same about Trump's campaign.

The question is if we can get Ross or Murphy. I don't care which one it it at this point just at least ONE of them.

Ross, structurally, is positioned for an easier win. But, if the bottom falls out for Trump, and we have strong Election Day numbers pushing Clinton's FL margin to +3-4 I think Murphy (That Bum) can squeak out a win.

So there's "spirit cooking" - whatever the fuck that is, the assassination of Gene Wilder, and code words in innocuous Podesta emails that point to a large scale kiddie slavery ring. These are a few of the batshit insane things I have heard from the alt-right this week. I have to think these people really don't believe this crap because the alternative is unimaginable to me.

Obama had what- a 3% margin in 2008? I think hillary can hit that given how completely insane the EV numbers are right now.

It is absolutely bananas that John McCain hasn't kicked Donald Trump in the face. Or that he has any sort of credibility among veterans.

I like this because without the Hispanic vote, Trump is president.

I'm trying to stay conservative here, and despite the mewling about DNC/PACS not pouring money into Murphy, like a condo with foundation issues, the fact that Clinton and her surrogates are spending so much time here indicates they also think he can be pulled across the line while doing the hard work of GOTV for EV.
