You didn't post logic, you rewrote Sanger's words entirely and unironically described your post with the word "ownage". You're the leftist equivalent of Tautologicus bro.

Read better. I said "owned" not "ownage." One's a word in the dictionary and I don't feel bad about using it.

I didn't rewrite Sanger's words entirely, I put them back in context.
After she says "the census of 190 will in all probability tell a story of a greater and more serious problem than did the last*," it is immediately followed by "Over one-fourth of all the immigrants over fourteen years of age, admitted during the two decades preceding 1910, were illiterate"

You took the first part out of context and lumped in with racial demographics to make it look like she said non-whites were the "problem."

I also pointed out your "0.001%" hypocrisy in failing to acknowledge your own candidate's abundant, abhorrent racism.

It seems kind of silly to reiterate when I'm enjoying them so much as well, but the only polls that actually matter are LV ones from swing states. Polls including how much Clinton will run up the score in California or Trump will in Wyoming/Montana aren't as useful as ones specific to the states that will matter.

RCP averages as of right now:

PA: Clinton +2.3
OH: Clinton +2.5
FL: Clinton +3.7
IA: Clinton +8
VA: Clinton +4
NC: Clinton +0.7

PA, OH, and FL would all be 2 points more in favor of Clinton but that extremely dubious Gravis poll staunched some of the Trump bleeding.

He needs to win ALL of those to win btw, or maybe he can give or take IA. If he doesn't win Florida he's got no map to victory at all

According to Labor Department disclosure forms reviewed by The Huffington Post, Trump Ruffin shelled out more than half a million dollars last year to a consulting firm that combats union organizing efforts. The money was paid from Trump Ruffin to Cruz & Associates in a series of seven payments between July and December, totaling $560,631.

the US political system is utterly broken and it is essentially impossible for a third-party candidate to win a presidential election under current state laws

this is the reason neither Trump nor Sanders ran as third-party candidates

they are, essentially, both third-party candidates using the political apparatus that exists instead of wasting everybody's money and time on a stillborn-by-law campaign

At this point it's just basic reading comprehension:


edit: unless your point is that Trump hired these guys to help his staff unionize?
