So if McMullin takes Utah and Idaho, that's even better.

Edit: I would laugh at Johnson, too, that McMullin pulled more EV's with how late he entered.

IMO McMullin could make for a formidable Senate candidate in 2018 since Orrin Hatch will probably retire.

I have to wonder if the choice for Tim Kaine as VP is to set up the most electable possible Democratic presidential candidate after Hillary. It's going to be hard to get three adminstrations in a row, and they probably think that a boring white guy is a relatively safe choice.

Unless Tim Kaine becomes a beloved Biden-like figure I doubt he'd win the 2024 nomination over someone like Cory Booker or Tammy Duckworth, or some new charismatic young senator/governor we don't know about yet who gets elected in 2016, 18, or 20. Kaine is fine for a whitebread Democrat who's fluent in Spanish and is competent enough, but he's not that charismatic and not that great a speaker or debater. Biden had the lovable goof thing going for him but is also a really charismatic guy which Kaine isn't really, stepdad persona notwithstanding.

I strongly doubt McMullin takes Idaho--it's polling much more strongly Trump than Utah, and it's only 25% Mormon to Utah's 60%.
The town this photo was taken in, Rexburg, is home to BYU's Idaho branch, so it's more than likely that the whole crowd is millenial Mormon college students.

My theory is that Donald Trump has an IQ of approximately 80. "I know you are, but what am I?" style of dialog. It allows him to connect with a large majority of the US population without 'talking down' to them.


Thing is, as terrifying as the substance of what some of his supporters say is, they are still more coherent than the candidate himself is...

He has the illusion of establishment support (the GOP) and there are still people cheering for their 'team'. This entire shitstorm is MUCH bigger than Trump himself which is why there is any cohesion at all.

To re-appropriate a tactic: the worst thing Trump has done is 'poison the minds' of people who identify as Republican.

Edit: And furthermore, has brought about the dissolution of American society by disrupting the 2 party system.

Edit2: And before someone tries to put Bernie in the same boat, let me use the analogy: There is a difference between graffiti and vandalism.

And then it would've been about some other god-drat for-Christing thing, which they would have also demanded she release some thing or other about, and after THAT was nothing, it would have been something else, because the point of this exercise is to create a constant cloud of scandal and accusation.
