Jeez, I wonder if the other polls that are due to come out will be so damning

14 points in the two way?! And WSJ typically leans right, no?

I think the debate would have stabilized Trump's numbers, if Paul Ryan hadn't effectively conceded the race.

The story that will dominate the news cycle today is the GOP conference call and Ryan's statements. That will significantly hinder any possible gains Trump made by not making GBS threads on stage last night.

I wish just once a reporter would ask what exactly is "arrogant" or "stupid" about what they are doing since that sort of stuff gets thrown around as common sense but I'd love to hear RGB have to actually explain why because I think she'd have a hard time doing so without falling back on blind patriotism, military worship, or discounting systemic racism.

This is important. People want to be part of the winning team and if polls predict a blowout a lot of the people voting against Clinton might just stay home, which is good news for downballot races.

I said I was sorry for misinterpreting the video. The context I thought I had for the video, the fact that I only watched a short bit of it, and the fact that I just don't take anything involving politics or campaigns at face value, resulted in me assuming the girl was crying crocodile tears and I made a bad post.

There's a video trending on YouTube, right now, from Brietbart, with Juanita Broaddrick, reliving her alleged rape by Bill Clinton and intimidation by Hillary. Do you take that at face value? Is it fair to be skeptical of that? My takeaway here, aside from me being a horrible monster, is that you should take anything involving sexual assault at face value, even when it involves political campaigns.

Ask your wife if she would assume Juanita Broaddrick would fake crying about her sexual assault.

If Clinton's favorables and "for instead of against" really are on the rise that's probably the most significant thing about the polls. It means it isn't just a swing to "gently caress Donald Trump" but people actually getting behind Clinton. The latter is more solid support.

Probably not, but he should. The GOP basically got to stall the nomination in case a Republican won the WH, and then if they lose they still get the compromise candidate Obama offered them.

(And yes, on age alone, Garland was a compromise and everyone knows that especially Obama and Garland.)

I'll go with patriotism as she has been instrumental in moving things forward from within the system and as such probably really really believes in it. Criticizing the system as a whole (which is the point of burning the flag or kneeling during the anthem or whatever) would then strike her as inappropriate because look at how much progress we've made!

Like I don't get why any Democrat would be so gleeful that the GOP is going to 'back down' and confirm Garland in the lame duck. It's the best case scenario for them in the situation where they are losing the Presidential election. Yes, you're probably right, but it's still bad news.
