Can't wait for Trump to cite the media's response to this as proof of bias.

HorseRenoir posted:I don't think he's going to come back from this week. Not because people will finally see the light and realize en masse that Trump is an idiot, but because there's two more debates coming up soon and Trump can't wait out the bad press anymore like he did in September. This isn't really on par with the Khan meltdown yet but: 1) It's not over yet and these things seem to snowball 2) There are fewer undecideds left for Trump to win over at this point

I love the Freudian symbolism here. Trump wants us all to watch him jerk off, gets emasculated, blames his symbolic dick for failing him.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:It's perfectly doable. I don't think it could be done without those involved getting caught, though. You'd need a large conspiracy and in a large conspiracy someone would gently caress up and/or squeal. They can post the exploit online, encourage lone wolf behavior. Anyone who squeals just has a link to an anonymous website.

There are voter suppression attempts every 4 years and nobody calls for a new election. People aren't going to overturn two centuries of electoral precedent over a couple of jailed 19-year-olds and a screenshot of a 4chan thread.

Filing the C&D now seems like more of a defensive maneuver, gives Clinton and Kaine and surrogates one more thing to pull out in debates if someone goes after Clinton Foundation.

The Q polls all go back to 9/27 so they haven't fully factored in Trump's post-debate trainwreck yet. The magnitude of the Florida swing might be a sign that the Cuba embargo violation story actually has legs.

Dork457 posted:In terms of 538's model, shouldn't whichever candidate is leading continue to widen their chances as it gets closer to election day. Given that there are less and less chances for major shakeups to shift the likely outcome of the election? Or is it really "anything can happen." This is what the Nowcast is for, so you can see how it would play out if the election were held tomorrow.

Even on the Nowcast the top six weighted polls don't include any data collected after 9/29. Trump's 3 AM tweetstorm and the tax revelations have yet to be factored in anywhere.

Jorge Luis Borges posted:I timidly point out this monstrousness to my interlocutor. He laughs at my antiquated scruples and raises Jesuitical or Nietzschean arguments: the end justifies the means, necessity knows no law, there is no law other than the will of the strongest, the Reich is strong, the air forces of the Reich have destroyed Coventry, etc. I mumble that I am resigned to passing from the morality of Jesus to that of Zarathustra or the Black Ant but that our rapid conversion then prohibits us from pitying Germany for the injustice it suffered in 1919. On that date which he does not want to forget, England and France were strong; there is no law other than the will of the strongest; therefore, those calumnied nations acted correctly in wanting to ruin Germany, and one cannot condemn them for anything other than having been indecisive (and even culpably merciful) in the execution of that plan. Disdaining these dry abstractions, my interlocutor begins or outlines a panegyric to Hitler: that providential man whose indefatigable discourses preach the extinction of all charlatans and demagogues, and whose incendiary bombs, unmitigated by verbose declarations of war, announce from the firmament the ruin of rapacious imperialism. Afterward, immediately afterward, a second wonder occurs. It is of a moral nature and almost unbelievable.

I wish these voter registration numbers came with 2012 stats to compare against, kind of hard to tell how much of this is Cheeto Benito fail and how much is just the usual Democrat ground game edge. EDIT: Also drat, that is 1/40 of the population of Florida. They grew the registered voter pool by 4 percent. Sensible Thursday fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Oct 7, 2016 |

He can promise to abdicate to Pence like in that one West Wing episode where John Goodman ran the country for a while but that still requires voters to trust him to follow through.

porfiria posted:Overall I'm not sure this particular bomb matters too much. It might; the language is pretty disgusting but ultimately it's pretty easy to dismiss as dirty boy bragging. Notice how he even self-deprecates at several points! The bigger question to me is how much the substance of a scandal (this is relatively small) matters versus the perception of one. Like, obviously no one rational (not an already hardcore insane Republican) actually thought Hillary was dying or anything on Sept 11. But the perception that her campaign was weak in some way seemed to actually hurt her. You are a moron.
