2016 elections - because it's never too early

[Sheilbh]

I would very much like all these comments to start to move the survey results.

First poll since the Khan debacle have him on 39%, Clinton 49%

12% of Republicans supporting Clinton - so far.

Would it really be that bad if President Trump nukes the whole middle east?

Yes, it would.

Yes, it would.

I'm sure lusti didn't mean that Israel would be nuked along with it.

Fox News has Clinton up by 10 points.

RCP average has her up by 5.1%

Some of you are getting worried, aren't you, I can tell, I have empathy skills at least a good as Trump's.

Gingrich, one of Trumps strongest backers and a man who was on Trump's shortlist to be vice president says Trump is unacceptable as President.

How many more times will we see a variation of "Has Donald Trump Finally Gone Too Far?":

With Khan family, has Trump finally gone too far?

Donald Trump:  Too far is never far enough.

Seems Trumps supporters are now convinced the dead soldier was in fact a infiltrator sent to sabotage the army and the dad is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

They should've considered walking back on all this back in the primaries, long before the convention.  These cowards have no one to blame but themselves and Rinse Previous.

I wonder how come Trump still gets close to 40% support even after all this.  40% of the US electorate are unmoved by atrocious statements and behaviour from Trump.  Why and who are these people?  There appears to be a great disconnect between white, working class people and the elites.

I figure a lot of his support comes from the Anyone But Hillary camp.

I am also kind of amazed that Hillary has not been able to establish a greater lead in the polls.  She is kind of lucky as she got such a self-destructive opponent in Trump instead of someone more mainstream.  But she is only leading Trump by a few percentage points in many polls in recent months.  I am not aware of any substantive policy initiatives from her other than "I'm not Trump."

I figure they really, really hate Muslims and Mexicans.

Apart from that, there is also a case of political insanity.  Something about the candidate really appeals to you on emotional level, and from that point on you interpret every single fact in a way that supports your candidate (or just choose to not think about it if even utterly insane logic can't spin the negative into a positive).

Saw an ad for Jill Stein.  Featured a scruffy looking negro, looked like Cornell West, haranguing a crowd about Trump and Clinton something something blacks.

OK, that's not the one I've seen.  She says that, while Donald Trump says outrageous things, Hillary Clinton has actually done outrageous things in government.
