2016 elections - because it's never too early

Read my last link. Real thing is not much and Women's Equality Party isn't really much of a party.

Exec summary is if 50,000 people vote for Hillary as candidate of blah blah blah that party maintains the right to stay on the ballot, without the need to collect petition signatures.

So the RCP average is trending up for Clinton as post-debate polls are starting to come in.

It's not overwhelming but there is movement there.

I will relax once the polls get to 10% in the battleground states.

Any theories as to what Donaldo is hiding in his tax returns?

1. He's not as rich as he says;
2. He doesn't pay any tax; and
3. How highly leveraged he is.

Also, 4) he doesn't donate much to charities.

If you amend #2 to "he doesn't pay much tax", I'd be stunned if 1 through 4 was actually not the case.

Apparently Newsweek supposedly has proof that Trump knowingly broke the Cuban Embargo in 1998

Trump's a corporate fat cat and a crook. No doubt in my mind he would not do b.s. like this.

Trump must be a genius. Most billionaires simply lack mental acumen to micromanage decisions of their subsidiaries.

He's not a billionaire.  He plays one on TV.

The knock on Clinton is not that she tolerated Bill's infidelity, but that she enabled a sexual predator and allegedly threatened his victims.

She's got a little bit of a double-standard going herself.  A few months ago she said all rape victims should be believed.  So why doesn't she believe Juanita Broaddrick?

You're right. Clinton's campaign will collapse.

Sounds like all the pundits were full of hogwash about how low the bar Trump had to win the debate.

If he had delivered a Sarah Palin performance, reciting safe, scripted responses, he might have been seen to win.

Agreed.  The bar was set very low for Donald Trump.  For example I've read plenty of reviews that said he was doing well, even beating Clinton for the first 20 minutes or so.  I completely disagreed, but that was the low bar at work.

The thing is that miraculously Trump managed to limbo himself under that very low bar to flub his performance.

Trump doesn't have the personality type to weather the storm in a debate. He has to react and and strike back, and not doing so would probably give him an aneurism.  It's what got him this far, but it's also what will (hopefully) keep him from going any further.

[Eddie Teach]

He was subdued, civil and most surprisingly of all, pink. He lost because people actually listened and thought Hillary made more sense.

I think another factor is that his style of debating worked quite well in the multi-person debates in the primary, but the same style is pathetic and near-useless in a one-on-one.

Kinda like using mob-style tactics against a single opponent.
