I wonder if in the next 2-4 years a well-organized third party could make some noise. I'm not saying they'd win anything in 2018 or even 2020, but maybe get to 15-20% nationally to really make people take notice and let people know there's another realistic option out there.

because of the way first-past-the-post and the electoral college works, the united states strongly preferences the simplest possible party system, which is two parties. a successful third party ends up absorbed into one of the larger parties, a very successful thirt party ends up replacing one of the larger parties. until voting reform is enacted the stable equilibrium of parties in the us is two parties

Here's a question for y'all - let's say you're Hillary Clinton's debate coach. How would you advise her to handle Trump in the next debate? How would you advise her to respond if Trump starts throwing out the accusations against her and her husband that he mentioned in last night's "apology" video?

She should just start to list the names of all the Republicans who are disavowing Trump. Maybe even throw in quotes from them or their tweets.

That and if I was Hillary I would be so relaxed right now. Not because victory is assured, but because if she loses nobody would ever blame her for a second, because she would just be the victim of mass insanity at this point.

It never ends with this piece of poo poo...

If/when Clinton brings up the tape tomorrow, I'm guessing this is how she'll do it. I know people have different views on beauty by poo poo talking a woman's looks when she's pregnant?


If Trump really comes out swinging it's going to look great to his die-hard supporters but the rest of the country is going to be utterly horrified if he goes after Hillary for Bill's actions while this is all still in the news. Even losing another 1-2 points nationally pushes Clinton closer to meeting/exceeding Obama's 2008 results while causing more downticket damage that the GOP is going to be scrambling to mitigate.

Unless the GOP feels so desperate that they actually do the unthinkable and the leadership formally unendorses him, causing the Tea Partiers to lose their poo poo and potentially stay home next month out of spite. Cut the GOP's turnout by a couple percent and that's a few more Congressional seats in danger.

You say absolutely nothing. The optics of Trump attacking any woman, even Clinton, over their husband's infidelities little more than a day after the Access Hollywood tape came out? You'd have to be insane to interrupt someone making such a colossal mistake.

Maybe she gets a slightly pained look instead of staring him down stone faced but any response she gave would almost be impossible to make a good enough followup. Just dead silence and maybe a "I cannot say anything more damning about Donald than what he just said and did" response before moving on.

There was an article I'm to lazy to look up that was about how women have been showing up to therapy sessions with bad anxiety that the President of the United States may be a validation of past abusive men in their lives. Forcing them to relive past trauma for the next 4-8 years.

Really think about that for a second.
