My Mom would rather I vote for Trump than vote for None Of These, because "don't throw your vote away!"  I feel like Trump is just the Same Ol' poo poo with a celebrity name. I wish he had continued pissing on the Republican establishment and stuck to crazy ideas like "nobody will die sick in the streets" that made Cruz lose his poo poo. Well that and I wish he wasn't a Russian stooge, but oh well~... Edit: also thank you USPOL for the link about the Trump BDSM novel. I really needed that in my life.

Playstation 4 posted:The thing that kept me and a lot of other goons into it well past the games own appeal was getting to watch Gamefaqs throw an honest to god tantrum over us 'hijacking' their contest with it. To tie it in with this thread, I remember at least one corncob screaming about how it was evidence Donnie needed to be president. God that was hilarious to witness. I only wish I could have witnessed the DNF thread when it came out. Apparently it was even better.

Up until his cavalier attitude towards nuclear weapons came up I definitely would have said that Trump was better than any of the other people in the republican primary with him. Even knowing that, he's still probably better than Ted Cruz.

Well, put my £50 on Trump winning. That's been my new thing this year, betting against what I want to happen, and so far I've been really pleased. This way, Hillary wins? I consider my lost £50 "election insurance", and breathe a sigh of relief. Trump wins? I've got £162.50 in my pocket to go get poo poo faced and gain some perspective.

I tire that people I enjoy in a non-political context suddenly pipe up to tell me their opinions on it just because of who the people involved are. I'd vote against everyone on my timeline who used the word "mansplain" during the debates if doing so wouldn't possibly doom the planet.

Mourning Due posted:Well, put my £50 on Trump winning. If you send me £50 and Trump wins I will give you £500 Also Mike Daisey's has created a monologue all about Donald Trump, which is hilarious and surprisingly therapeutic. Slate has taped his performance tonight and you can watch it here for free.  Craptacular! posted:I hate this election and despite having followed elections since 1988 this one is particularly tiring. My kingdom for restrictions on campaigning until, say, six months before the election? ...but the stupid primary system (and the First Amendment) means that's just not going to happen. One can only hope that in the future everyone is so disgusted by election news too far out that we can rebuild some strong norms around when it's appropriate to talk elections.

The LA Times' polls have been the laughingstock of the polling world this election season for a variety of reasons. It is literally so poorly designed that the NYT reported on it despite polling being unbelievably boring to most people. Also tracking polls suck. Everything's going to be OK friend-o

(2) you will vote for Clinton, Trump, or someone else? and (3) Clinton, Trump or someone else will win? As their answers come in, we update the charts daily (just after midnight) with an average of all of the prior week’s responses The poll is nonsense, also try to make a map where trump wins and you're going to have to flip states that are +10 or better.

So medias in Switzerland are all reporting that Trump will win/Is back in it because that Washington Post/ABC News thing showing he's up 46/45 or something.

Necc0 posted:Wait what? I missed this Meet your new best friend, the official account of the FBI Records Vault! Vanity Fair posted:Now, a new interagency mystery is raising questions about whether the F.B.I. has become politicized, just days before the presidential election. On Sunday, a long-dormant F.B.I. Twitter account suddenly sprung to life, blasting out a series of links to case files that cast the Clintons in a decidedly negative light. One tweet links to publicly available documents related to the agency’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, followed immediately by another tweet linking to the investigation of former general David Petraeus for compromising classified material—a jarring juxtaposition given the allegations against Clinton. Then, on Tuesday, the “FBI Records Vault” account—which had not tweeted at all between October 2015 and Sunday—published a link to records related to the 15-year-old, long-closed investigation into former President Bill Clinton’s pardoning of onetime commodities trader turned fugitive Marc Rich. The post, which was quickly retweeted thousands of times, links to a heavily redacted document that repeatedly references the agency’s “Public Corruption” unit—less-than-ideal optics for Hillary Clinton, who has spent her entire campaign fighting her image as a corrupt politician

Even if Trump sweeps the battleground states, he has to win a blue state; and that just ain't happening. They're trying to compete in NC after realizing they've lost PA no matter how much they adore coal.

Also the polls aren't done by the newspaper , they're just bought by them. The different pollsters' reputations and biases are more important than the papers'.

Senate looks decent on Sam Wang if closer than I"d like to see. Got 5 leading, two ties, and a couple who are close enough that a GOTV advantage could seep them. So that'd be +9, which puts us at what, 53? 54? I can't do math, I'm a DemocratNecc0 posted:What the gently caress is happening to the FBI?  Here's my guess

Inferior Third Season posted:Well, you see, they just fixed a tweeting robot a few days ago after it was broken for more than a year. Total coincidence. And the robot randomly selected a biography of Fred Trump that praised him as a philanthropist and somehow missed the part about him being arrested at a KKK riot. Again, total coincidence as it was a robot that picked the story, you see, and everyone knows that robots can't have political motivations. It then randomly chose, out of the thousands and thousands of possible requested FOIA stories, ones that highlighted events from the Clinton past that puts Bill and Hillary in a bad light. Again, unfeeling, uncaring robot. Total coincidence.
