greatn posted:Comey could claim one story concerns a candidate while the other concerns an outside actor as the reason this isn't biased. I'm guessing that will be the talking points. He could also claim he's an idiot, at least then he's probably telling the truth.

Potato Salad posted:There it is Nobody is going to give the slightest poo poo about this. A video of Putin giving Trump orders directly could come out and people would still care more about Clinton and emails. I don't know what alternate reality some goons live in but "Comey hosed up what the gently caress" is not what most media outlets are running as their headline and the odds of that changing is near-zero because our media is little better than clickbait garbage. HorseRenoir posted:So, what are the odds of Comey resigning before inauguration day? He'd resign a day or two before the election, giving the most "I'm totally being forced out because I spoke The Truth" statement just to try last second damage to the election. Ogmius815 posted:Does the FBI director serve at the pleasure of the President? Yes. I imagine it'd please Clinton to see him shitcanned without being able to take the face-saving "I resign" option. If Clinton wins I'd be stunned if he doesn't resign though and even more stunned if Clinton wouldn't just fire him, to hell with the optics.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I really do, but ima hold back I think. It's a slippery slope being a minority here on SA - it's tempting to stand up for NBPOCs too, which can slide so slippery-ly into speaking for them. I don't really have an educated opinion on racism against first nations peoples beyond "Grah, don't do that" It's especially egregious for canadians. Not to downplay the literal genocide of first nations by the US but Canada was still operating re-education camps for them up until 96.

If Hillary wins AND the Dems take the Senate, Obama can and should fire Comey. Don't give him the dignity of retiring to spend more time with family. I doubt you will get any objection or blowback in that situation. If the Senate stays in GOP hands, Obama can't do poo poo without it seeming like petty political revenge. Hillary should declare that she wants Comey to stay on and won't accept his resignation and then make his life a living hell for four years.

NPR (don't derail plz) had a dude named Richard Painter on. He was an ethics lawyer in W's White House and he was tearing Comey a new rear end in a top hat for using his position for partisan intervention.

My understanding of the polls is that he is correct. The race has tightened, but this reflects increased support for Trump rather than diminished support for Clinton. Do you have evidence that undermines that?

That'd probably be because USPOL goons are following the story in detail, reading through newspaper articles, etc., rather than looking at a 30-second summary on CNN.com. Sadly, you're near certainly right that it's not the experience of people who aren't deeply concerned about politics.

mcmagic posted:I like how you're competently ignoring the reality of what the polls have done in the last week and yet you have the nerve to call someone else an idiot lol. You're a parody. The reality of the polls is that most polls were taken prior to the most recent email news. Those polls showed a tightening race due to Tepublicans tightening support around Trump. The few polls taken post email news are almost the same. There is no indication so far that the email news has had any real effect on polling. If you have polls which contradict this, feel free to share. Until then you may want to reassess who is ignoring reality.

It was equally depressing when they talk about how screwed they were by Europeans. Their seasonal exhibit is about the native languages, of which several are close to becoming extinct because there isn't enough people speaking them anymore  SunAndSpring posted:To be fair this is more on the kid's parents instead of him.

The recent email news will serve to do nothing more than energize the Republican base. There is nothing new there that will significantly sway Independents; anyone sold on the email scandal would have been sold over the past year.

Has there been any specifics given on how/if polls take into account early voting or Clinton's fundraising and ground game advantages? Specifically with early voting, do pollsters still count people as likely voters if they've already voted?
