Asimo posted:Speaking as a Connecticut resident, It was +18 Obama in 2012. It has a popular Democrat governor and entirely Democratic congressional delegation. By recent electoral record it's arguably more left leaning than Massachusetts right now. And Trump held the rally at Sacred Heart in Fairfield of all places. Like 15 minutes from my parents' house. He may as well have held it in the middle of the Yale quad. Crow Jane posted:I grew up in Connecticut, and distinctly remember driving through some quaint little town with my family sometime in the early-mid nineties and coming across a KKK rally in the square. They were getting yelled at and having stuff thrown at them, to be fair, but I'd be willing to bet they didn't travel far to get there. I remember when I was a kid in the '90s a group calling themselves the White Wolves tried to establish some sort of presence in the Southwestern part of the state to a lot of outcry. The people you saw might've been them or somebody else...or maybe from New Hampshire  Eifert Posting posted:Does anyone else think Trump saying he wants "Volunteers supervising polling places" smells a whole hell of a lot like it's intended to be voter intimidation? Eifert Posting posted:Can anyone remember a case of a major political candidate calling out for this? Seems like a 1930s Bavaria sorta move. It's happened all over the country at the local, state, and even federal level for large swaths of time throughout our history, so yeah. fosborb posted:Everyone has volunteer observers in key districts every election though. How is this different? Because "those people are stealing the election and its up to good citizens like us to put a stop to it" is literally why the Klan became a national movement in the early 20th Century. The Right has a long history of raising the spectre of voter fraud in order to fight progressive movements and rally supporters to the defense of 'real American values', often in the form of rampant acts of direct violence and coercion against minority communities or progressive voters and politicians. It goes hand in hand with the "silent majority" idea that All True and Good Americans want 'x' and anything else winning in the voting booth is either proof of social degeneracy or treason. If it wasn't the "uppity and lazy" blacks it was "crooked pinko unionists" or "job stealing Mexican illegals" or the "socialist bureaucrat criminals" or "corrupt politicians" or maybe "the Jews" stuffing the ballot box and upending the Natural Order of Things. Eifert Posting posted:This brings me back to 2008 when I told my professors not to expect me in class. That I would be fetal with a bottle of wine all day. Then at a ridiculously early hour (Maybe 10:30 or 12 at latest) they announced "Indiana is too close to call." Knew right then it was all over and by 2:00 I was loving around with a skateboard naked with an empty wine bottle in hand tooling around my apartment. Regardless of what happens, I promise you that I will be the most baked I've been in months on Election Night. Harrow posted:What's this "monster vote" narrative floating around now? The idea that Trump is going to turn out record numbers of first-time voters, the kind of people pollsters don't poll because they're not "likely voters," which explains the big rallies vs. underperforming polls. Whomever coined it, it's bullshit that relies on incorrect ideas about how demographics have been changing in America. They require that Trump win historically ridiculous (like 70%) shares of certain demographics in order to work- or for there to be heretofore undiscovered scores of (mostly white) people hanging around to vote for him. Either they ignore that it isn't 1979 anymore and there isn't nearly the same wellspring of white resentment left to draw from or they simply 'unskew' the demo data until it looks like the Silent Majority exists. 33rd Degree Idiot posted:AKA, "if you're under 30 you're poo poo don't matter." Which is to say that there's a possibility that polls are actually underestimating the Dem turnout. For all that Hillary's "particularly unpopular," she's got plenty of her own party's support and the Obama Election Machine, which just about stomps on whatever Trump's done to court young people besides 'appeal to their racism.'

He runs as a democrat for a position that does not have its election in November, leading to lower turnout. Democrats who don't do much research see the D by his name and vote for him simply because of that, whereas the rest of the county that isn't Milwaukee votes for him because he hates the blacks just like them.

 Trump to give speech on Islamic State in Ohio http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/08/14/donald-trump-ohio-republican-president-islamic-state-isis/88716762/ quote:"He's going to lay out his vision and his strategy for defeating radical Islamic terrorism," running mate Mike Pence told Fox News Sunday. This is going to be the best speech so far I bet.

For real. Watch any of Woodward's appearances on Fox News Sunday since Obama was elected and you'll see that he's been chasing that high from Watergate ever since and hasn't ever gotten it back. He's tried so hard to find scandals with Obama, hilariously he couldn't with Bush for some reason, and has been reduced to whining about emails and misrepresenting facts about security classifications.

I think there's basically three ways Trump might go with this. 1. Vague-rear end platitudes about fighting them harder than Obama has, 2. spew out a list of names of foreign policy 'experts' and insist that they'll work miracles, or 3. say something crazy. Or some combination.

I know this is from a couple pages but Wallingford was a bit of a hotbed for Klan activity to the point that they had a white supremacist hold a talk in the public library and didn't recognize MLK Jr. Day until the state made them in the 2000s.
