I think I finally figured out why I find your particular gimmick so annoying: the moral cowardice of the position. Yes, I understand the logic behind not wanting to run someone with high negatives, but the problem with that is that you concede that anyone targeted by a smear campaign is no longer eligible for office. After you do that, the other side just has to smear anyone they think has a fighting chance and welp now you're perma-hosed! It's even super easy for them to do because they don't even have to make up believable lies anymore because they've conditioned enough people to instinctively believe anything they say in their outrage voice.

You can have all the moral bravery you want while you lose. Good for you. I care about winning and winning by the largest margins possible. That would have a much more positive impact on people's lives and on the issues that I and I expect most progressives care about than one person's accomplishments.

Look, that was just a legitimate FOIA request. Since a lot of people are interested in it, why should we deny them the right to know more‽

It looks like they've been back logged for a while and just now got around to processing the requests. A similarly sized dump occurred back in jun of last year. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the lead and tail are directly related to presidential candidates. It can't possibly be obvious political hackery.

I'm not Arzying as I really think a lot of people will step in the booth and not be able to pull the lever for Donald J Trump.

However, I am genuinely concerned with the type of poo poo the FBI is pulling. There's really just no reason to be sending out tweets of redacted files on 16 year-old stories. This type of internal politicking is what ran John O'Neill out of the Bureau.

Turnout for Hispanics seems to be spiking, among others, so unless you mean GOP turnout is depressed offsets it overall compared to earlier elections, I'm not seeing it.

The understanding is that account is a bot, and is publishing FOIA requests to the public.

Why is it every time I look at USPol, I see your stupid garbage polluting the thread. We get it, you think you're smarter than everyone and Bernie should be the dark messiah for 1000 years of liberal darkness but now because everyone (read: white men) hate Hillary, the cheeto's going to win.

Hypothetically, if on election night the polls are where they are now, we expect Clinton to get a close win maybe a 50/50 senate, and..... inexplicably Clinton just cruises to a 12-point wipeout and the Dems take all of congress.

What would that mean for polling this year and how could they adjust to a huge miss? Maybe a correlation between people who enjoy answering polls and GOP voters? Missing latinos showing up at the polls? Or just a one-time anomaly driven by the fact that Trump is Trump?
