Wait doesn't this guy have some weird rumors swirling around him about how he was hooking up with underage girls when he was in Russia? Is that valid? lol

It's not really a "rumor". Mark Ames wrote a bunch of articles back in the Exile days about his and Tabbi exploits in Russia.

There's got to be some crossover between the alt-right and people pissed about anti-vaxxers. I want to see their reaction.

I mean Trump is already a long established anti-vaxxer.

Yeah the last time a major party candidate got 40% (actually 41%) of the vote in a two-way election they lost the electoral college 525-13.

This is more like a 2.3 way election though.

2) How easy would it be for a determined alt-righter to make their way to the debate and ask an unscreened tin-foil conspiracy question or something amazingly rude from Clinton in an attempt to throw her off?

I think Hillary can handle having people yell conspiracy theories at her by now.

Lol to anyone thinking the NYT didn't have some of the best lawyers in the country go over every single syllable and okay it. I guarantee their editors have also made drat sure they're ready for a fight if it does somehow go to court, and every lawyer in the land will want the kudos of defending them.

They also know that worse case they can probably be at the edge of legality because Trump will never be willing to go though legal discovery on a case like this.

Given that race, gender, age, education, income, etc. are all pretty good predictors for how someone is going to vote, you should probably consider if polls are actually providing any new information. Or, if through repeated sampling they are merely zeroing on a mean that could fairly easily be calculated through other methods.

Historically polls have been a good way to predict elections.

It's looking like as far as actually influencing the election goes, this was a modest victory for Kaine.

+0-2% for Clinton seems about right. Trump needs a real hail mary and this is one more off the list of possible occasions for that to happen.

What always really blows my mind about this is that there is actually a somewhat legit small-scale scandal regarding the lack of security at the building, but even half the idiots who parrot Benghazi nonsense every day probably wouldn't even be able to tell you that because the GOP so thoroughly drowned it out by hyping bullshit internet conspiracy theories about her "leaving our people to die".

Would it have even been safer if it was a high profile high security building?
