This is dumb. The polls literally were not wrong. They were just national polls, not state by state polls, and the people who were pro-Hillary lived in all the wrong places (i.e. not in hell).

The real thing is that national polling is not as important as polling in the Rust Belt.

I'm ok with it because "Yes, I do totally remind you of a creepy serial killer" is just not an endearing or winning strategy just because Ted leans in. He's only acknowledging that he makes our skin crawl and really highlighting it some more.

Ted Cruz always fucks up these things because he doesn't get human humor and that we don't connect with stuff like this.

she doesn't have to collude with russia to be their tool. at best she's a self-serving useful idiot. part of her hitting back on the russia ties was accusing the DNC of sabotaging sanders and even pushing trump as a spoiler candidate. all while she can't bring herself to denounce anti-vax and other leftist woo arguments. all russia has to do is promote her to strip away some dem support among fringe voters

I understand the hate that Assange gets, but this always seems like the "spoiler candidate" argument getting mixed with the Russian dupe nonsense just because she sat at a table with Putin once and didn't even talk to him. Is there anything else to back up those accusations or is it all really generated from that one photo?

Hillary overperformed in some states and underperformed in others, well within the margin of error of the polls for the nation as a whole. But state polling in most swing states was not very good.

She was expected to win Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, but didn't. But she was still within a standard polling error at all times.

yes, in that they act as spoilers who leech votes from the more ideologically aligned ticket

the libertarian party is somewhat organized though and has a coherentish ideology distinct from the GOP even if they are just the right wing minor leagues. the green party is just a mixed bag of idiot ideas too niche or stupid for the democrats, meaning that it attracts goofy voters who care too much about radical environmentalism, veganism, opposing genetic engineering, opposing nuclear power, etc.

like, the libertarians compete in downticket and local races. the greens basically shoot for the presidency and don't bother establishing a presence in local races

Well, the Russian trolls who infiltrated left-leaning groups promoted her quite a bit. This certainly doesn't mean she colluded with them, but she also downplayed the idea of Russian interference in the election.

BarbarianElephant posted:

Yes, but not as much, because it can pull from both left and right - depending on whether the libertarian in question cares more about economic or social libertarianism.

Some other weirdos like the Constitution Party do, but they are nowhere near as big as Greens.

Yeah, the Trump guy on CNN is just going "Kelly said it was ok so that's the final word." That's the angle the White House is taking here. The story is true and Trump said it but Kelly's approval outweighs the mother's disapproval or widow's tears.

I want to say that won't work and will be a disaster but its 2017 so I don't know anymore.
