Peacenik Trump would last about as long as some world leader looking at him sideways. I wonder how he would have reacted to China snubbing him like they snubbed Obama? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/04/barack-obama-deliberately-snubbed-by-chinese-in-chaotic-arrival-at-g20 He's never declared war on anyone because this is his maiden voyage in politics. This is like saying a virgin is the world's greatest lover, because they have yet to be proved otherwise.

ImpAtom posted:Hasn't almost every poll shown that Clinton has 90% of the Democrat support? Where is the 'she doesn't appeal to (x)" coming from. She is winning every demographic that isn't white men. The same pace that "She's corrupt!" is coming from - literal decades of the shrill screaming of talk radio/Fox News. She's a Clinton, thus she is evil, thus no one likes her, thus no one really wants to vote for her and all the people who say they are only do it grudgingly.

Crowsbeak posted:Its dumb, but its less dumb then not expanding the house. Seriously are their any good resources for why we haven't, because we have over three times what the population was in 1020 and we have same number of reps now as we did then? Also Wisconsin and my state seem to have been having the same population growth. They won't even consider expanding the house unless the Dems achieve total, overwhelming control over government and can trample any and all GOP and moderate objections. The reason why is a larger house helps the Dems in the electoral college. The GOP benefits a lot more from the 2 extra free EV that every state gets because of all the safe red flyover states. A bigger house means more total EV, which then dilutes the artificially high influence that small states have.

If I may, I have a question for the Trump supporters here. What about him makes you think he'd be a good president, exactly? What qualities do you see in him? I'm genuinely curious, and since I don't know a single person irl who's voting for him, I figured I'd ask Like, forget Clinton, just tell me what's good about Trump

Rabble posted:They should have never capped it in the first place . If only the house had thousands of members.... The house size isn't really capped. There's no law saying it must stay 435. The house has simply refused to increase its size after the 1920 census, and after every census since. Because they couldn't be bothered to do it. They could do it at any time, though after stalling nearly 100 years they'd also need to authorize funds to expand chambers at some point (the current House chambers could fit about 1000 representatives in session, without any renovation besides new desks and rearranging them).

Okay so we're back to Comey just being a tool then.quote:An FBI list of documents recently added to the public vault states that this material, which related to former President Bill Clinton’s pardoning of Marc Rich, an international commodities trader indicted on tax evasion charges, was released on October 31. NBC's Pete Williams reported that the documents were the subject of a Freedom of Information Act request and were released “under normal guidelines”...

Nessus posted:The top-upvoted comment on any of Robert Reich's facebook posts is usually someone saying "BERNIE SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - I don't think this is necessarily indicative of some massive groundswell of sentiment given all the other polls which are still veering between different grades of HRC win. I was just asking a poster why he thought there was a groundswell of support among early voters in Florida for Hillary. Nowhere have I ever said anything about illegitimacy of the election nor have I said who I was voting for.

Lot of people probably thought "well, this thing is gonna wipe everything off the map. Might as well vote before I die." This heavy increase in early voting is a pretty good thing for Dems, right?
