I'd still like news outlets to do a good job on stories not about America. The Atlantic wrote an article about Our Collective National Uncle.

The thing about those polls is that they presume a competent GOTV effort from both parties, where is one party is going to have an unusually competent GOTV and the other party is going to have none whatsoever. I'm calling it now: Trump will underperform the polls on Election Day if he is still the candidate. Fake Edit: let me ammendment the above and change "Trump" to "the Republican nominee" because GOTV efforts are extremely complicated and take a while to spin up, and even if the GOP nominee had 500 million sitting in the bank there would be no way to build a competent organization in time for November.

The fact that he only has 1.3 million on hand compared to Hillary's 42 million dollar war chest is loving insane. Has there even been any anti Hillary attack ads yet? It seems that on the election day we're going to probably see one of the worst defeats in history.

Civilized Fishbot posted:What is Arzying, and why is it called that? Back in the halcyon days of Obamarama (2008) there was a poster called Arzy and whenever anything implying Obama may not win (or anything implying he might!) turned up, he'd freak out. David Plouffe calls this kind of person a bedwetter. It seems to be a Democratic ailment.

So what does a hypothetical Trump drop out look like, if he wanted to call it quits early? What would be his justification if he can't own any of his personal or campaign failings?

Ostensibly because the Republicans weren't fair to him and didn't help him raise money to fight Crooked HIllary -- but then, that would require an admission that he couldn't self-fund (which I think it's pretty obvious he's not actually wealthy enough to do that, so._)

Well the next FEC report is in the middle of the RNC, probably the day after Trump officially becomes the nominee. So it will look hilarious.

The closest I can come to is some sort of "you were mean so I'm taking my toys and going home" scenario, like we don't deserve him as a president and his time is more valuable than that.

Q-poll leans a couple of points to the Right, and is now trending towards Hillary in their own models. But hey, glad you understand how polls work and that state level polling at this stage isn't incredibly accurate.

Speaking as someone who has followed every major election, presidential or otherwise, over the last eight years as anxiously as an expectant father outside a maternity ward, you need to calm the gently caress down. Your "predictions" moved well past hysteria a while ago and now you're just doubling down instead of backing off because you want to be seen as a Cassandra instead of a guy who made some bad posts.

I'm really pulling for Gary Johnson to get that %15 polling average and go to the debates. Don't a lot of states have rule where if you get over %10 of the vote in a statewide contest your party gets automatic ballot access next time? If Johnson can do that, the libertarian party might field tons of candidates state and congressional elections in the midterms and gently caress everything up for the GOP.

Trump strikes me as a "if I can't have it nobody can" type of guy who would not actually drop out but instead just stop campaigning while fighting attempts to change the nominee.

I am sorry I keep skimming this thread because of bernie/gun chat. I missed it. Did trump really throw in the towel at calling 25 real rich people to get money for his campaign? Cause drat that makes me reconsider prestors view on the narcissist angle. Trump sells himself as being a big successful business man. He could easily Say he wasnt begging for money he was giving a few "VERY GOOD FRIENDS OF HIS A CHANCE TO HELP OUT" he could do a few tv ads where he loving sells his stupid supports a support trump kit for 2 dollars and the kit is like button or hell a red and back trump arm band. I bet when he did those phone calls he those donors took the wrong tone with him and he just loving lost it. Which would be great gently caress he could record the calls clown the dudes for not wanting to give him money then public talk about how they are hilary supports and not real republicans willing to help out.
