My dream is for Trump to sub 100 electoral votes.
Concerning this, is there any value for the Clinton campaign to go for a 50 state plan and just crush Trump, or will they just play to win?

I think racism is an aspect of our personality we should all identify in ourselves, admit...

You know, people always say this kind of thing "we should recognize we're all a little racist, it's just human nature" and often follow up with statements like "we're all a bit more comfortable with our own race even if we don't like to admit it."

I hear that and I just think, "Uhhhh... no?" and start feeling weird about the person who just admitted that they're a little racist and are more comfortable around people of their own race.

There is no point in putting money into a state you're going to lose, so they typically don't go after red states. You can use the money more wisely in swing states.

Having said that, Clinton is winning all the swing states, and now she's also winning in GA and AZ and have upped their spending and presence in both states, so who knows.

A few months back I kind of hoped that when the election was done Trump would just go away and go back to being a second-rate reality TV star/scummy businessman, but now I hope that his image has become so toxic that no-one will ever want to do business with him again. Also just mentioning the name Trump brings images of failure and stupidity. I want his image to be completely tarnished from all this.

Until Hillary is out of office Trump will tweet 'I would have stopped that' to every shooting or poo poo that goes on.

Actually yes. By putting field ops in GA and AZ, they force Trump to have to defend what is usually regarded as an easy win for him, making him divert resources from elsewhere.

Or well, it would, if he had a competent campaign.

Trump: "I hope someone shoots her. Really, someone should shut her up permanently."
Trump Campaign: "Well you see what he really meant was that he hopes someone shoots (as in shooting a camera taking a picture) her. Pronouns can refer to a lot of things so there's no way he even meant Hillary. He wants someone to just crush her in a debate."

Why would i call you a liberal? I've been a liberal since i was old enough to think and will always be one. Stop assuming there arent Keynesian racists. The rest is a fair point.

This could be the turnaround moment Trump needs. If Hilary is anti-getting-shot, that is pretty much the same thing as being anti-gun.

Easily worth +4%; wavering republicans being reminded of a key issue on which they are closer to Trump than Hilary. The whole 'political correctness' angle of how one clumsily-worded phrase can lose you your job will play well in certain circles too.
