lol even if Trump is serious about finally putting a substantial amount of his own money into this (he isn't) it'll be September by the time the campaign infrastructure evens gets set up.

Speaking as a Connecticut resident,  .State's not nearly as left leaning as some of our neighbors due to all the rich fucks here, but it's still like +7 for Clinton and I can't see that changing at this point. The conservatives here tend to be more old establishment types.

PerniciousKnid posted:My nightmare is that we get credible information that Clinton is real bad, like she eats kittens to gain power before important meetings. But Trump obscures the news with his dumb antics, and we have to about-face and try and get him elected by a sceptical public. That's stupid. You don't eat kittens to gain power. You drink their essence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4voZl28ADM emdash posted:Trump says if he loses "I will never ever forgive the people of CT, the people for FL and PA and Ohio, but I love them anyway." The poor people around his place in Florida are going to get the rear end in a top hat neighbor turned up a couple notches, and it's already at 11 because they are open about finding him tacky and offensive.

Everyone has volunteer observers in key districts every election though. How is this different? E: to be clear, yeah the rest of his populism is scary as poo poo, but observers are entry level ground game stuff. fosborb fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 14, 2016 |

Partisan election observers are a normal thing and generally considered innocuous. They're there to be the campaign's eyes and ears at the polls, make sure things like signage rules are being followed, that sort of thing. Election observers are categorically not allowed to try to impede anyone from voting, challenge voters' eligibility, etc, but Trump's rhetoric has people on edge that his volunteers will try to do just that.

Know who I want to vote for? The person that makes it illegal to discriminate against felons in housing. I know that's a potentially fatal thing for a politician to say, but I can't rent an apartment in Atlanta even though I make 6 figures and have good credit because I punched a cop (while filming them beat a black person they pulled over) 10 years ago. Sorry to vent but that's bullshit and if they love to pull that whole "tough on crime but make it so people who have committed crimes can integrate back into society" bullshit, it needs to be backed by actual policy. I've never had a problem with getting a job. This is literally the first time my criminal record has come up in 10 years. Never had a problem in either Chicago or NYC.

T. Bombastus posted:The recruitment page for his election observers is headlined "Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!" It's not the worst part of his campaign by a long shot, but it's a little less innocuous than the norm. This sounds like what a schizophrenic would title their unsuccessful Kickstarter.

Yeah election observers are commonplace, in 'mature' democracies they're commonly partisan because it's believed all sides are mature enough to be there to ensure the rules are legitimately followed, rather than turning things to their side. History does back that up for the most part, too. Trump's just spouting off in a way that's gonna get random assholes to go in and go ballistic when they see a black person voting or something. I'm honestly not even sure if Trump has the guile or subtlety to be dogwhistling here though - he may well legitimately have himself convinced that he will lose only if actual cheating occurs and be saying the dumbest poo poo imaginable to prevent it. Course the actual effect would be voter intimidation, no question.
