I'm amazed you didn't call it the death tax.

How many people do you know, personally, that the estate tax affects/affected?

I would guess that estate tax could effect a reasonable percentage of boomers who live in high income, high real estate parts of the country. These states are mostly already blue (CA, CT, NY, MA, MD) but could work some in Florida. Dunno how many people who would be swayed by this aren't already voting republican.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Who on CNN or anywhere else pays attention to what policies the candidate actually espouses?

There will be some headline "Trump SLAMS Clinton economic policies in speech" and then people will go back to watching the Olympics and whatever else they do.

True, but there's a lot of uncertainty as to how the Utah scenario will play out. Maybe this BYU guy is legit and will siphon away enough votes to throw the state to Johnson or Clinton, but who knows. The point is that Trump is way down in one state he desperately needs to win and decisively down in just about all the others. His campaign's best chance of winning is to go entirely negative on Clinton, hoping that something will break her soft support and get within striking distance of the popular vote on election day. But in order for that to happen, people will have to forget that the name at the top of the ticket is Donald Trump.

I hate to say this, but it's actually really, really hard for a male candidate to go hard negative on a female candidate and it has backfired for people in elections vs Clinton before. Considering his already tenuous footing with women I think that would be a disaster for his campaign.

Also, speaking of media:

Normally on Raw Story, every monday morning, the top story of John Oliver and how he "shredded" something on his main story, usually some sort of corruption or GOP shenanigans.

However, last night's main story was how journalism is dying because print news is being replaced by integrated media generators that rely on clickbait and views rather than actual news.

Gee, Raw Story doesn't have a story about what John Oliver said last night.

I wonder why.

cost basis for real estate when you die is the price you paid for it and not current market value so it's likely an issue for most older people who last bought property before it skyrocketed
