Clinton being at 53% in the hth in that Pew poll is *really* loving bad for Trump, too.

Anything showing her above 50 is. Because that means there's much less room for shifts or undecided to suddenly pile into the orange fascist or whatever.

Like, "wow, you really trumped that up" or "he got so drunk he made a total trump of himself at that party and now everyone hates him". Who he actually was will be forgotten except maybe as a cautionary tale.

That's such a wide date range, and still up by 9 in the 2 way. Nice.

I think it's going to settle down around +7 multi-way, +9 2-way until the next debate.

Who cares about Indiana at this point? It's a state which elected Mike Pence. And even though everyone from that state hated him and his policies he seems to get a veep boost there. It's the worst great lake area state.
My guess is that Trump is leading by about 5%.

Indiana's Senate seat has a good chance of going D, since the guy running as a D is a former governor and long time former senator who is well liked but took a break in the private sector, coming back to run against a tea party clown

I mean he's a blue dog but he's far preferable to Todd young

I will say this for Ryan: He's at least smart enough to realize when he's beaten. He's not 100% sure what to DO about it, but he knows he's lost.

Of course, part of the problem is polling has shown downticket GOP doesn't actually get a boost for disavowing Trump now. The voters don't give them any credit for waiting this long to fire him off the bus, or at least not enough to make up for his crazies. They're in a situation with no winning moves because they waited much, much too long.

it'll be textbook for sure. This is certainly not the first election to be televised, we have JFK for that. But he'll always be remembered for his assassination even if he wasnt the first president to get assassinated. I don't know what first to apply to this election but it'll probably be pinpointed as the beginning of the digital microscope (even if that began a long time ago). I mean this isn't exactly Calvin Coolidge saying "k'" into a gramamaphone, candidates in the future will have to answer for the holographchats they made of them lighting their poops on fire. And every student will be beaming mini presidents lighting poop on fire on their desks

She gave them a chance. I believe that chance was also calculated on the strategy that the Deplorables would go nuts if they took it and was probably a trap anyway, but she did give them a chance.

They tune out the individual stories, certainly. But the reason that dog bites man stories are inconsequential is because there was already a widespread understanding that dogs bite men. If voters start tuning out stories about sexual assault, it will be because there is now a widespread understanding that Donald Trump is a sexual abuser. I find it hard to believe that this would be good for Donald Trump.

I actually just had a conversation with one of the office conservatives on this, and it's amazing how so many of them don't get that the problem isn't "Trump said a bad word" rather than "Trump admitted to sexual assault".

It's definitely not good for him. I'm just talking from the prospective of how big his loss is going to be and how many GOPers he takes with him.
