Only when men ask women if they're voting for Trump.  Otherwise, no.

Now THAT will help people sleep well !

This is a good summary of the Fox report last night.

- You can not believe but fwiw the reporting is from Catherine Herridge who was pretty much right on almost every report last spring and winter just a week to a month ahead of WaPo & NYT in most instances.

- I think the report that at least 5 foreign intelligence services hacked/accessed Hillary's server is important, new and almost certainly true.

Hey GB, if you're curious here's a tweetstorm from a mediamatters guy destroying Baier and the report much better than I did.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

It's amazing that just two weeks ago there were articles referencing Hillary's campaign working to make her not look too presumptuous.

They succeeded.

Edit: Damn, too late.  This thread moves fast.

Troubling.  OTOH according to this poll the election will be over by the time the Colorado polls close.  Which is why it's never a great idea to worry too much about a single state poll.

Melania is about to make a speech in the Philly suburbs. I predict: 

I say this to you, about is our opposition. When they goes low, we are getting high! 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I never knew there was such a thing as a tweetstorm.

I wish there was a Rosetta Stone for speaking Twitter. I'm sure that guy made good points. No way to tell though.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I think this is more urban myth than fact at this point.

Seemed like an obvious joke.

 

[Hang 10]

So if Podesta told Hillary not to use personal email for classified communication how can she plead ignorance? 

She was told before she took office, told during and then when confronted after she lies lies and lies some more. This is way more than careless. How does this not establish intent?

You think you can just tread on squisiton's domain like that?  Linking Media Matters tweetstorms?  Did you at least notify him first?

I believe I covered this already:

That's the great thing about targeting low-information voters. All you have to do is say "I'm releasing a tape of Clinton stabbing a puppy in two weeks", and idiots will see it, assume that this tape must exist, and then never follow up to see if it actually comes out.

She could just say random words and I'd listen. Unlike the dem candidate she doesn't sound like a chalkboard or a face that looks like a catcher's mitt.

Hey GB, if you're curious here's a tweetstorm from a mediamatters guy destroying Baier and the report much better than I did.

Thanks. I will say hearken back to the original pushback on the NYT report last summer with regard to their use of the term 'criminal inquiry.' That is what ultimately happened. 

I'm willing to keep an open mind. However it seems to me it was just a few days ago you and I were in agreement in the press having contacts with the Clinton campaign as being appropriate. A little bit further up I point out there is nothing wrong with journalists confabbing with campaign officials at dinner or being chummy in emails. I've defended reporters using anonymous sources in other contexts.

Anyway thanks for the link again I will keep an open mind.

 

[Opie]

Crush Unqualified Next Tuesday.

Would it help...or hurt if Trump stood on stage with Melania and boasted...

"yeah...I'm tappin' dat"

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

A person is smart.  People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

This is not really a situation we should be in.

Jeeziss, someone please give the guy a golden parachute and be done with it. Immunity from prosecution, a billion in cash, and an archipelago in the Virgin Isles. Done, be gone.

You're right. Melania is intelligent as well. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Basically, an app called NeverTrump connects people who want to vote for Clinton and live in states where that doesn't matter with people who want to vote third party but don't want Trump to get elected, and those people can agree to swap votes on the app.  Welcome to the insane future.

If it works....use it....I guess 

He never said that it was a ugly catcher's mitt.

 

[Slapdash]

JFC.  I never thought this was possible, that Trump really could win this thing.  Sanders, Biden, or any average Democrat would be crushing him right now, but no, you just had to have Hillary "most qualified ever" "she didn't do anything wrong" Clinton.  Thanks a lot.

Bump.

Tim a month ago:

Back in February I wrote that the candidate with the best shot of beating Hillary was Rubio, but that even then it would be a tight race. She'd beat anybody else. I stand by that. Hillary is not a weak candidate.

It would be realistic if NV wasn't almost over for him based on the early vote.  He has a better shot of flipping CO, MI, WI, or PA at this point.  Even with NH, he still needs to flip one of those.

It looks good but I'm not counting any chickens yet:

Democrats hold a 30,500 raw-vote lead statewide over GOP voters with three days of early voting remaining. That translates to a percentage margin of 43-37, which is the same margin seen on the prior day and matches the early-vote partisan margin for 2012.

I can't believe any Bernie voter would vote for her.  Trump is about as progressive as your going to get for a Republican.  He was holding up a rainbow flag in stage the other day.  10 years ago that is political suicide for a Republican.

Holding a rainbow flag vs wanting to nominate a replica of Scalia is not in the best interest of any LGBT person. Nice try though.

Is his policy of deporting Hispanics and building a wall that is progressive?  Maybe banning Muslims from entering the country?  Wanting to punish women who seek abortions?

In an interview that aired in September 2015 on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley pressed Trump about what he would do with the population.

Pelley: "Eleven, 12 million illegal immigrants --"

Trump: "Or whatever the number is."

Pelley: "Still in the country, what do you do?"

Trump: "If they've done well, they're going out and they're coming back in legally. Because you said it--"

Pelley: "You're rounding them all up?"

Trump: "We're rounding 'em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized. And, by the way, I know it doesn't sound nice. But not everything is nice."

 

[BassNBrew]

I also think that women will come out even stronger for Hilldog than they're currently polling.  I mean if you were a self respecting woman, how could you possibly vote for Trump?  I'd take the political criminal over the sexist pig any day of the week.  

And this is why we get the gov't we deserve and Wall St keeps us spinning their hamster wheel.

During an interview this weekend with NBC's "Meet the Press," host Chuck Todd asked Trump whether his comment should be interpreted as a "slight rollback."

"I don't think so. I actually don't think it's a rollback. In fact, you could say it's an expansion," Trump said. "I'm looking now at territory. People were so upset when I used the word 'Muslim': 'Oh, you can't use the word "Muslim."' Remember this. And I'm okay with that, because I'm talking territory instead of Muslim."

Trump first proposed banning nearly all Muslims overseas from the country in early December, soon after a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif. Trump's original statement — which calls for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" — is still on his campaign website. This position continues to be one of Trump's most controversial and a key reason that some fellow Republicans do not want to help him with his campaign.
