I think they would've if their polling hadn't showed they'd gain nothing by doing so and he had totally collapsed at Debate 2. As it is...they don't lose anything by staying on and almost none of them have any principles, so why not?

It's too bad they realized fighting a civil war right before election day was a bad idea. It really could have been something way more interesting than the limping finish we're getting now.

There's a strong chance that Trump should be in jail for sexual assault so it seems unlikely any additional things will change anyone's mind. It's all a matter of turnout now.

Yeah, I honestly don't know why people always seem so disappointed that the latest yuuuuge bombshell doesn't make a dent. We already know that Trump is a misogynistic piece of poo poo, and we also know that he's willing to brag (or at the very least joke) about using his celebrity status to literally commit sexual assault. Like, there isn't going to be anything worse than that and nobody who is willing to ignore what we already know is making any kind of fact based decision.

At this point I almost feel like the non-stop barrage of accusations is counterproductive.

As a Floridian, the only time I got polled this cycle was when I was on vacation in California.

The problem in Iowa is we are also a swing state, but WAY smaller in population. So we get hit a lot before elections, and God help us before the Iowa caucus.

It gets loving ridiculous when both parties have contested primaries, I sometimes get polled 5 times in a week before our caucus. (though about half the time when I tell them which party I'll caucus with, they say thanks and end the call, so its not so bad)

Yeah, at some point people will become inured to it, not unlike the deafness of Hillary supporters to the never ending cries of "Emails!" and "Benghazi!"

And just like Republicans keep using those terms, at this point the continued sexual assault claims are more about reminding those who changed their minds rather than completely undermining Trump. You'd have to completely change the topic to have as big an impact as Access Hollywood.

A full release of Trump taxes, an n-word tape or substantive claims of actual rape, for instance.

EDIT: And the last opportunity for an oppo bomb is probably Monday. Any later than that and it won't have enough time to get pervasive enough in the public discussion to make substantive impacts on Republican voters.

Murphy used to be a republican and is a "fiscal conservative and social liberal"

basically a moderate republican who left because the actual republican party got too extreme for his tastes. Dude does not give an actual gently caress about poor people.

I, too, believe that Hillary Clinton warmly accepts a dagger thrust into the heart of everything she worked for, derived from people making a film intended to attack her politically, purely because she once touched some money and was therefore eternally and fundamentally tainted.

It is quite possible she won't be able to do much about it, of course; but I'd say that has more to do with all these lingering Republicans than :abuela: 's own profound love for unlimited soft money.
