B-Man Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hillary polling behind Trump? No problem! MSNBC’s got her back Desperate times call for desperate measures.

B-Man Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Media Furious that Matt Lauer Treated Trump and Hillary the Same. I’m so old, I remember when they were called the “objective” media — and some in the media even believed their own fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Wow: GOP leads Senate races in all four key battleground states Our undecided electorate I think everyone recognizes that the presidential race has tightened considerably in the past two weeks. Hillary Clinton’s national lead is down to around 3 points and, as one would expect, the swing states are pretty consistent with the national margin. But here’s something I think many people don’t realize or haven’t focused on. Around 20 percent of the electorate is either undecided or saying it will vote for someone other than Clinton or Donald Trump, according to Nate Silver. How does this figure compare to the recent elections? Silver says it’s much higher. Four years ago, only 5 to 10 percent were undecided or prepared to vote for someone other than Obama and Romney at the corresponding stage of the campaign. Given the poor quality of the two major party candidates, it’s not surprising that the number this year is considerably higher. Indeed, I’m part of that number — undecided between voting for Trump and not voting. As Silver says, though, most people (me included) are focused on on the margin between Clinton and Trump, not the large proportion of votes still potentially up for grabs. If one focuses on the 20 percent, the outcome of the election becomes less certain than many suppose. Can Trump make big inroads with this group by staying on message, avoiding unnecessary fights, reaching out to minorities (as he’s been trying to do), and meeting fairly low expectations during the debates? Quite possibly. Can Hillary hold her own (or better) with the 20 percent even in the face of what’s likely to be the drip-drip of email related news? Yes, I think, if Trump goes off the rails again or struggles during the debates. Otherwise, maybe not. Edited September 9, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's graded on a curve. That, and the fact that Hillary's emails and foundation lies and corruption have come to the forefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both major candidates have a ceiling of maybe 45% of the popular vote. Hiliary, like her husband twice before her, will be elected President with a majority of Americans voting against than for them. If you thought Congressional Republicans were obstructionist now, wait until they square off against a President with no mandate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
