Official Hillary Clinton 2016 thread (3 Viewers)

Very good polling for Clinton over the last 48 hours or so. Two excellent ones today from A-rated pollsters- one from FDU giving Clinton a 9 point national lead, another from Monmouth giving her a narrow lead in Ohio (if she wins Ohio she's won in a blowout). Good enough to bump the 538 projections above 75% for polls-only, 72% for polls-plus and 82% for the "now-cast."

Trump will definitely have a chance to bounce back if he can somehow find a way to not act like Donald Trump in the last two debates, but things are moving the right direction.

If they can somehow drug him and use a ventriloquist to make normal vanilla politician-speak come out of his mouth, then they might have a chance.

Good article on how this election is reshaping the electoral map: 

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/clinton-and-trump-are-shuffling-the-electoral-map/502748/

The main point here, per the article, is that Trump vs Clinton is not creating new restructure; it's accelerating trends that were already in place: rust belt becoming more white and conservative (hence Trunp wins Ohio), sun belt becoming younger and more minority filled(hence Hillary wins Florida and North Carolina.) 

If Florida and North Carolina become regular blue states, it's hard to see how any Republican gets elected President in the foreseeable future.

It will happen...the plan has been in-place for a while...let in as many illegal aliens as possible...give them as much Public Assistance as possible...create an allegiance to the Democrat party...do everything possible to get them the right to vote...after that it is game, set and match as far as the Presidency is concerned...

It works so why not?  You view Saul Alinsky as a boogeyman of sorts where as I view him as a street hero who understood how to navigate the halls of political power from ground up rather than top down.

 
Yet another publication breaks with its past to endorse Clinton. The Atlantic is endorsing a presidential candidate for only the third time in its history (other two were 1860 for Lincoln and 1964 for Johnson and against Goldwater).

They could give 70,000 families $1000 per month during their first year here to help them make ends meet... and all that money would be almost as much as the real estate tax breaks the Trump Organization has gotten from properties in New York over the years.  

Double the number of families and you can also include Trump's NOL from 1995.  

I'd rather give that money to 140,000 families looking to move here and make a better life for themselves and their children than work so hard to preserve the Trump family fortune.

I get being angry about government handouts to people who don't deserve it.  We just disagree on who the recipients are.

No...I think this mantra is the heart and soul of the democrat party...whatever means necessary just achieve your goal...whether it's telling the truth or not (like Obama with Obamacare) just get what you want and deal with the fall-out later...

No, the mantra of the Democrat party is "let's level the playing field."  To do that you sometimes have to swerve to avoid the roadblocks so you don't use up all your energy trying to pound through the obstacle.

Not sure why you have to connect these issues...if you want to fix the tax code do it but that has nothing to do with illegal immigration...I have zero issues with fixing out current tax system but if Trump is playing by the rules than that's just the way it goes...as for that $1,000 I think there are plenty of citizens in need of it before we give it to someone who has entered the country illegally...

That is NOT the mantra of the Democrat Party.  Not even close.   It's really "Corruption:  OK as long as it's our guy".

What do you mean by "the plan has been in place for a while". Was the plan in place in 1986 when Reagan gave 3 million illegals access to public assistance?

If the "plan" was implemented sometime after 1986, then how do you explain the fact that Obama deported 2.5 million illegals from 2009-2015? Doesn't that go against "the plan"?

I'm not gonna defend the flawless virtue of the Democratic party. But given what we've seen from GOP party leadership reluctantly embracing and defending a completely full of #### huckster whom they clearly hate, often refuse to answer questions about, and in many cases refuse to even say they trust as commander in chief simply because they want to get a guy with an R by his name in the White House so they can achieve certain legislative and judicial goals ... this seems like kind of a weird time to level this accusation at the Democrats, no?

Two separate issues...I think the GOP is a complete and utter train-wreck...has been for awhile...they needed someone to come in and shake things up it's just unfortunate that it was someone like Trump...Also, Hill is no different than what you described...she just happens to be your huckster...

We have in NO WAY embraced Hillary Clinton. 

 
The "conservatives" around here are damn near as funny as those in Congress as they twist and turn and turn and try to avoid directly talking about Trump.  :lmao:

Not in this country. It is 2016, not the cold war era. In the past you have confused and equated Communism with Socialism, so not surprising that you see Communists as still existing in sufficient numbers in this nation to be concerned about.

 
I had only read portions of that Atlantic endorsement.  Got through the whole thing, and they did not pull any punches:
 

In its founding statement, The Atlantic promised that it would be “the organ of no party or clique,” and our interest here is not to advance the prospects of the Democratic Party, nor to damage those of the Republican Party. If Hillary Clinton were facing Mitt Romney, or John McCain, or George W. Bush, or, for that matter, any of the leading candidates Trump vanquished in the Republican primaries, we would not have contemplated making this endorsement. We believe in American democracy, in which individuals from various parties of different ideological stripes can advance their ideas and compete for the affection of voters. But Trump is not a man of ideas. He is a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar. He is spectacularly unfit for office, and voters—the statesmen and thinkers of the ballot box—should act in defense of American democracy and elect his opponent.

I didn't say I believed it worked. I wrote that HE (Paul Ryan) believes it works.

Personally, I don't believe that it works in terms of reducing the deficit or debt. But I do think that cutting taxes and cutting regulation can spur the economy. In theory at least. The last attempt to actually do so (2001) didn't work as well as I would have hoped.

All true. Nice to see it put so succinctly. People should be meming/tweeting the heck out of that.

If they haven't run a candidate in 32 years, it doesn't seem like they are much of a political force any more (not that they ever were after WW2)

The Communist Party is probably analogous to another relic of the cold war, The John Birch Society, which still exists, but for all intents and purposes is pretty much dead as no one pays attention to their press releases outside of their scant membership that has a median age of 75.

 
This next debate should effectively bury Trump right?  Maybe he'll even start to significantly hurt the conservative down ticket as well.  Honestly, as much fun as it is to make fun of Trump and his supporters, I'll be extremely relieved when he's given the hook from our political discourse for good.

Uhhhmmm.... getting back to the original point....

So eloquent. This remains the best reason that those of you who detest Hillary Clinton should vote for her anyhow. If you choose not to vote for Hillary OR Trump, you are not helping Trump win, but you are not helping him lose either. Only by voting for Hillary are you actually helping Trump lose. And by helping Trump lose, you are acting in defense of American democracy.

You said there aren't any communists in this country. You are wrong.

Traditionally, the loser of the first debate, does better in the second (see Obama in 2012). But this year the Trump candidacy has thrown tradition completely out the window, so who knows.

After Oswald, who has been a high profile member of the Communist Party in the US since then? The only one I can think is Angela Davis and I am not even sure she is still a party member. Davis is still around and did endorse Hillary a few days ago, which means about as much as David Duke endorsing Trump.
