they're prob just gonna have someone else do her campaign stops/fundraisers until the debates its not that complicated

Or even more likely the meeting will be 'do you need us to send a replacement to tomorrow's fundraiser' and be answered with either 'nah I'm fine' or 'yea I'll be good in a couple days though' because it's pneumonia not cancer

Donald Trump is going to yuck it up with Dr. Oz on national television while the "undecided" "swing" voter slobs of America eagerly watch.

Without even mentioning her name, he is going to bury Hillary Clinton.

Do you see it yet? Have not your eyes been opened at last? Or do you still labor under the delusion that you can somehow escape fate?

a couple of days might be a bit short for pneumonia depending on severity, but yeah, i expect her to just be out of action for at most a week and some change.

hillary overcomes pneumonia to attend 9-11 memorial service, takes a few weeks off (away from the media) until the debates to recover. donald trump left to dangle in the wind while trying to lower hillary's numbers.

in the founders' days it was rude for the candidate to be seen outside his house at all until a week after inauguration.

also one of these days the national polls and the fact that HRC is tied in Georgia will reconcile with one another but I'm not sure when.

i thought the state polls were close to the final result in 2012 but they underestimated obama's margin too, just from clicking around on this
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map_no_toss_ups.html

i think the state polls were consistently more pro-democratic than the national averages though, and i guess we're seeing that today

there are a shitload of polls today btw, hope this is how it's gonna be for 2 months. i'd say they're good for hillary but bad for democrat senatorial candidates

not discussed i dont think was the nevada polls which have this pretty much ~dead heat~ed, kinda interesting. whatever. pile, throw, on

You know, I'm now expecting an ad blitz pointing this out. I wouldn't put it past them.

i think we're probably gonna get this. although hillary having pneumonia obviously kind of means that whole story was overtaken by events - for now. i won't pretend i can predict what happens but in 2016 i assume a rich person is gonna recover from a disease tbh

Squizzle posted:

now that i thought about it for a while i think that this and :coal: people and reno are the opening shots of the clinton campaign going on the offensive instead of hanging back and reacting to trump being trump

yeah, again overtaken by events but man bill kinda got gaffey there i think. pretty drat small issue. the thing where he said maga in his '91 campaign is pretty silly but i guess he should reword his poo poo a little so it's like, in the orangeman context this is racist. but this won't matter very much for a while

the NYT has weighed in on recent controversies and has determined both sides, and furthermore

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/11/public-editor/the-truth-about-false-balance.html

i hate this so much

quote:

I can’t help wondering about the ideological motives of those crying false balance, given that they are using the argument mostly in support of liberal causes and candidates. CNN’s Brian Stelter focused his show, “Reliable Sources,” on this subject last weekend. He asked a guest, Jacob Weisberg of Slate magazine, to frame the idea of false balance. Weisberg used an analogy, saying journalists are accustomed to covering candidates who may be apples and oranges, but at least are still both fruits. In Trump, he said, we have not fruit but rancid meat. That sounds like a partisan’s explanation passed off as a factual judgment.

If you fear a Trump presidency, it’s tempting to want the media’s firepower heavily trained on one side. But a false-balance cudgel gripped mostly by liberals is not an effective way to convince undecided voters. Just more preaching to the choir.

this writer supports white supremacy. she's too stupid to know she's been duped into doing it, probably, or she's just doing it for personal profit, but this is the kind of banal little evil that makes the world turn

Oiled and Ready posted:

Even if trump wins he wont do poo poo besides some light graft and dems will take both houses in 2018 and get redistricting rights for a decade, i dont get the worrying

Hillary winning under "fraudulent" circumstances and 12 more years of artificial republican congress could easily be worse

ive heard democrats saying this but i think the gop high-turnout coalition has a huge advantage in state legislative elections, especially since a large proportion of them won't be on this november's ballot

i kinda wanna figure out exactly how many seats are up in each year of our four-year cycle in each state sometime. surely there's a link where somebody's done this?

i forgot to quote someone saying it but im getting tired of this election too
