Is it not true that she locked up the primary in 2014 and that no other viable candidates ran against her? That isn't a fact?

That's weird, I remember Democrats voting for her and some other people earlier this year for... some reason.

I'm calling you a sexist because you constantly, like literally every single day, every time you can wedge it into conversation, do the classically sexist thing of demeaning a woman's accomplishments and comparing her unfavorably to a less-qualified man. That is textbook sexism and it's revolting.

The standard we're talking about is electability. And by that standard she's NOT more qualified or accomplished and is dropping hourly.

There were actually 3 polls of Utah today.

The +6 Trump was mentioned earlier. Rasmussen and Emerson both did one as well.

Trump +11 and Trump +12. The McMuffin difference in them is 8 points. So a lot of soft supporters of Trump / Hillary / McMuffin.

Senator and Governor are going to be R landslides (SHOCK)

quote:

What is notable is that with three days to go for in-person absentee balloting, registered Democrats have just about caught up to their cumulative 2012 numbers, down only 0.8 percent. Registered Republicans are well ahead of their 2012 numbers, up 11.1 percent, but the truly remarkable line on the above chart is from registered unaffiliated voters: up 42 percent from the same day totals in 2012. That's your wildcard for the 2016 election so far.

Among the racial composition of all absentee ballots, white registered voters continue to be 72 percent of the ballots, with black voters at 22 percent. However, black voters have been a higher daily percentage of the ballots, trending between 27 and 28 percent of the ballots. All other races are now at 7 percent of the total.

White voters are 18 percent ahead of their same-day cumulative totals from 2012, while black voters continue to make up their deficit so far in comparison to four years ago, down now 11 percent (it was 17 percent down last Friday). All other races combined are up 48 percent from the 2012 same day totals.

One of them, they obviously got a lot of help from pro-business conservatives who wanted the unions dead for financial reasons. Basically the money guys came in and did a one-two punch of "do you really want THOSE PEOPLE getting the same rights as you?" and enormously highlighting the cases of actual union corruption in the mobbed-up parts of the country. It's actually really easy to kill off any progressive thing that way in America. Racist fearmongering to get the right wing on your side, perfect-is-the-enemy-of-good to get the left wing on your side.

And if the current Republican nominee proves anything, it's obviously that having a lot of people competing to be the nominee can't possibly backfire in any way!

Also, mcmagic, I'm pretty sure you're a sexist. There's a slight chance that you're simply insane and not a sexist, but I feel pretty confident that you are in fact a sexist.
