hannity is insanely gullible - i can't remember who it was but someone tweeted hannity with the following convo:

somebody: "hey DM me i have a hot scoop on clinton's emails or whatever"

hannity over DM: "really? what is it?"

somebody over DM: "you're an rear end in a top hat lol"

hannity over DM: "gently caress you"

Didn't see this commented on in the last one - notice how his writing is centered pretty well, including an indent on the last line and his signature?

Except for the "& will never forget!" He forgot where he was and added it afterwards.

He also uses lowercase and uppercase more or less randomly - look at "HeRe" and "FRieNDS"

Well yeah but as you're proving here, he doesn't need high favorables to win.

It's true, but I wonder how strong his "strongly approve" was leading up to the election. Even if those people are dropping from "strong" to "approve" and will still vote for him, the gap of enthusiasm for him from the insane part of the country could really cause those more near the middle, but uninformed, to not bother to vote.

I'm not predicting this will happen by any means, but it would sure be nice.

As people have said, he has a shot but he is the underdog. He has never led in any of the polls, but they have been close enough that turnout can win it for him because it's very difficult to model special election turnout. If it's close but he still loses, that's still a good sign for 2018 because (a) he's a flawed candidate in some important respects and (b) it's a very conservative state.

One thing is for certain: If he loses, this thread will have half a dozen posters LOSING THEIR MINDS about how the Democrats are DEFINITELY doomed forever

Several GOP operatives noted that the party’s committees can use the threat of losing control of Congress as a selling point as they work their donor base.

“When faced with the thought of Speaker Pelosi,” said Corry Bliss, executive director of the Congressional Leadership Fund, “there’s nearly an unlimited amount of money that Republicans can raise the next two years.”

Literally "the fact that we're losing means that we can win!"

It's saying part of the motivation to have that press conference without input from the DoJ was the document indicating that the DoJ wasn't going to be impartial/would intentionally try to be too kind to Clinton, so they couldn't trust them, which was false

Yeah, sure, but that's...not THAT bad of a decision? The Comey letter was much, much more unwise. Comey's decision to say "we are absolutely not recommending charges" isn't exactly the straw that broke the camel's back.

Good explanation thanks. We can add that to the Democratic agenda when they retake control, what an out of date system. Why havent any reforms been done on it?

...first, before you do the anything, learn the basics of Mutually Assured Destruction and why we use it. The whole point of the system is to make it so no nuclear capable country ever even thinks about attacking us with nuclear weapons.

Getting rid of first strike, or making first strike require a much longer chain with multiple checkpoints, is a good idea. The nukes being able to go up quick is not.

If I'm reading it right, premiums would go down about 4% in half the country (by 2026), 20% in about 1/3rd of the country, and "we have no idea" down in the remaining 6th.

In exchange for 23 million people to lose their insurance.

that doesn't seem worth it IMO.
