Donald Trump's campaign had a "come to Jesus" meeting with the RNC just as 4 swing state polls dropped indicating that Jesus will not be coming.

Alex Jones is coming.

and by not taking the bait, we mean he said "no comment" about mark foley

Good thing there's nothing to make this situation worse - say, signs that Trump has ties to the mob.

About 20% of it was people posting the same thing as you :v:
Seriously though, Donald doubled down on that comment about Obama founding ISIS, then said he was being sarcastic, then said he really wasn't. A new, somewhat grosser pic from that old magazine shoot with Ivanka showed up. New polls came out, he's down about 10 points in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and he declared at a rally that if he loses PA it will be due to election rigging. There are also indications he's trying to set up a network of people to hang out around polling places and make sure nothing untoward happens.

Basically all of the existing trends continued.

ed. There was this pretty good post that said Trump was gaslighting the entire world.

Karl Sharks posted:

well, gerrymandering for political reasons is still okay i think? but when it can be proven to be targeted towards minorities is when the VRA kicks in, i believe

i do remember back in 2012 some site being posted about computer generated congressional maps that are done in a more unbiased nature that should be the norm, but it's one of those things where each party when they can do something about it is in power, so they don't want to :shrug:

Gerrymandering isn't a universal problem. Detailed article looking forward to the 2020 fight and state-by-state comparisons from dailykos: https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/760522006056042497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

And you don't need a computer program if you can just get the process out of the hands of the legislators themselves. I like California's current independent/bipartisan system: 8 citizens (non-legislators) are chosen (made up of 3 Rs, 3 Ds, 2 other), who draw a map. They must come to agreement with a full committee of them and 6 more citizens (2 D, 2 R, 2 other). Then it goes to public comments/hearings and edits. Then, when ready, the commission votes and it must get at least 9 "yes"s, including at least 3 dems, 3 reps, and 3 others.

What does everyone think Trump's mentioning of Utah (having big, big problems in Utah) means? I feel like he somehow doesn't understand how this all works, or he's absolutely convinced he's going to win the major swing states he absolutely has to win. It just seemed like a bizarre statement (not unusual from him obv.) and I feel like maybe it gives an insight into his understanding of the whole process.
