Life, friends, is boring
I am mystified by people who, at this point in the race, are still undecided whether to vote for Clinton or Trump. What more do you need? What's the tipping point here?

What does that mean?

That there is a legitimate chance we retake the House because establishment Republicans are fleeing Trump like he has the plague while Trump is waging open war on the defectors. The end result is establishment Republicans won't vote for Trump, Trump supporters won't vote for the Republican downticket, and a sizable portion of Republicans won't bother showing up to vote at all.

I still don't understand this. He literally cannot lose whether he endorses Trump or not.

Does he have aspirations for higher political office? Does he actually have principles? (that was a joke, he is a Republican)

Hoooooow can anyone still be undecided between those two? This man even met and spoke with both of them, a luxury few voters have, and can't make a loving decision.
my brother has extreme anxiety. He's normally a super confident dude, but if you ask him a multiple choice questions - even one like 'Hey, what restaurant should we stop at?" - you can kind of see him panicking for a second before he mumbles about being fine with whatever you guys want.

Undecided voters are like that, but on a national scale. It's not that they don't have a preference, it's that they're terrified of admitting to that preference, because what if it's somehow wrong?

What I don't get about Ken Bone is that not only is he undecided post-pussygate, (were they gathered before then?) but he's undecided on which candidate cares more about fossil fuel emissions. Does he actually think Trump cares about something he dismissed as a conspiracy by the Chinese?

I still like him. :3:

For what is worth, as Spanish from Spain, my first reaction to Latinx was a thinking it was a typo.

Right now the goal of Hillary and the DNC should be to keep the oppo dumps coming and provoke Trump to melt down further while also linking him other Republicans to him to get them to disavow him. If even 30% of his supporters decide to punish them by not voting straight R down ticket the Dems can sweep this thing.

So they roke the rules, and in a way that would've been negative for Clinton instead of Trump? I'm sure all the people crying about the moderators being mean to Trump will certainly pay attention to this. :downs:

Moderators cherry picked a question that shouldn't have even been in the pool because it directly confronts a candidate, and it was a negative Clinton question at that. And yet the narrative from Trump was that it was 3-on-1 up there.

Moderators also asked Clinton about the emails again. She got her fair shakedown too.

30%?
Even if 5-10% don't vote downticket or don't turn up period, that's the entire shebang.

Hate to poo poo on everyone's optimism over imminent GOP collapse, but is this schism actually going to impact the House? I imagine many Republicans are running unopposed or against weak Democrats with little resources devoted to them. I fear some Trumpies are going to fall in line and vote downticket anyway.

You know... I listen to sports talk radio mostly because I avoid politics, but they're even talking politics there. They generally support Trump, and asked some real athletes who have really been in locker rooms. They are utterly dumbfounded as to why that video is shocking because they talk like that with their buddies all their time? Their take was that Donald's big mistake was being recorded.
