that's true, but i think when you get into people who want to run for president it's going to be really hard to fight against their own ego/desire at winning, pride thinking that they are the right candidate, etc.

i mean, these people see the same demographic trends we do, they know the days of the white vote being able to pick the president are basically over, so unless they can completely reinvent themselves politically and distance themselves from their past through idk claiming amnesia, they have to take the earliest chance they can, so it will be rather difficult to convince them to wait 8 years or more to get "their turn," you know?

look how Hillary managed to thin the field to her, a 74 year old socialist, and three total scrubs, including freezing out the sitting Vice President

the eight or so establishment types with a chance in 2020, five or six of whom are less terrible than her at every other facet of campaigning, will sort this out by early 2019 tops

The vast majority of the remaining old guard republican families have pulled out of the party apparatus. There is nothing left but Cruz-esque slime people and moronic trump operatives. All the dipshit hick white voters in middle america are not going to suddenly embrace compassionate conservatism when Trump loses. They are going to claim the election was rigged and double down.

we're finally seeing the GOP reaping the whirlwind for the political climate they've encouraged for decades now

the GOP isn't going away overnight, but they've really hosed themselves pretty bad. Businesspeople don't want to be involved with people like Trump. That stuff only hurts business. You can see this with the anti-LGBT initiatives that get passed and companies pull out of the state.

Funnily enough, Trump had the right idea about that at first. He came out anti-NC bathroom bill saying it was a dumb thing that was driving away business. A very smart, business-like view on the GOP's regressive bullshit.

Then he backpedaled right away because Reince probably yelled at him or something.

Seriously, what are you hoping that we get out of this? Is there any chance at all that you and I will reach some sort of point where we go "Okay, I have a better understanding of what you meant"? I just run into you with this hyperbolic fake quote poo poo all the time.

I noted that black people do not get enough pain management while simultaneously acknowledging that excessive scripts, partially bolstered by pharma companies pushing for their meds to be given out more readily, is part of the cause of the current heroin epidemic.

If you were actually interested in having a serious conversation about this, you could have probably asked me to clarify instead of just jumping in with "I am a progressive who hates all the black people" crap like you usually do.

Nate's insistence that this race is really volatile when all evidence points to the contrary is really weird

If Nate just took all the national polls/trackers and adjusted them -7 days in relation to the state polls, there'd be way less "volatility" and you'd see that the state averages just lag a week or so behind movement in the nationals.

let's check in on Boosted since he came up

quote:

I hate to say it but the only way Trump wins this election is if (a) The enthusiasm for Clinton remains low, (b) Trump behaves for another month and suppresses enthusiasm of leftists to vote against him, and (c) Trump voters rally on their own to turn out like crazy.
As great a job as Trump has done getting non-voters excited about him, his campaign and the GOP as a whole have done a TERRIBLE job of REGISTERING them. Voter registration data doesn't show any kind of unusual bump in registrations, and I've seen some analysis where new registration increases in fertile Trump territory aren't any greater than, and sometimes are lower than, registration increases in heavy urban areas i.e. Clinton territory.
We saw how voting AGAINST Obama wasn't enough to put Romney over the top in 2012. No one really wanted to vote FOR Romney. BUT the difference is Romney was a Republican. Hillary is the Democrat, and she has a demographic and Electoral college advantage, so she can afford SOME drop-off in turnout from Obama. But Trump still has to win independents by a healthy margin, and still has to churn GOP turnout AND bring as many Johnson voters back into the fold as possible.
He HAS to at least draw in BOTH remaining debates. He CANNOT lose again. And somehow, someway, they have got to motivate every possible registered voter favorable to him to show up, because there simply hasn't been enough of an increase in voter registrations to support some sort of "silent majority" delivering a landslide not being picked up by the polls.
