2016 elections - because it's never too early

I'm not that confident about her royal cuntness.

She was always one of the more hawkish in the Clinton Circle of Trust in the 1990s, even more so than Gore; you forget, she grew up a Goldwater Girl with a more traditional global outlook--and unlike Obama, has absolutely no problem with the application of US hard power.   

When she sends two carrier battle groups to the South China Sea to make a point that Obama would make with a single destroyer, be sure to thank her for your back-to-back don't-touch-me orgasms.

Eh, the Clintons came into office with a peacenik mentality and by the time they left office they had no problem using force.  Obama is the same way, he starts off with this idealistic world-view where everyone can get along if they just sit down and have a beer.  Eight years in and his response to dealing with some asshole in the middle east is just "kill the bastards".  I doubt he even gives it a second thought when he signs off on a drone strike anymore.

Hey Raz, how many ADD kids does it take to go trick or treating?

Trump pulling 40% of the vote... in Idaho... in a poll that didn't include McMullin

By the way, how does write-in voting work exactly?  How are the candidates being written in uniquely identified?  What if I'm write-in voting for someone with a common first and last name?  How do you know which John Smith I'm voting for?  And what if I misspell someone's uncommon last name?

The candidates have to register with the state. So McMullin is on the ballot in like a dozen states and registered as a write in option in two dozen more. As of Sept 29 you could vote for him in 34 states, and he claimed that it would be up to forty or forty five by election day.

It seems like even the Ecuadorians are fed up with Assange's bullshit.

I can imagine. He has probably taken to acting like the embassy is his actual home.

New utah poll! McMuffin momentum!

Utah: #Trump 30%, #McMullin 29%, #Clinton 28%, #Johnson 5%, #Stein 1%.

Looks like he's mostly taken the Johnson voters since the last one.

I sense a sitcom here.

I wonder if the Kellyanne Conway brand is tarnished after this election. She continues on with her most recent bizarre talking point where she attacks Clinton for not having a stronger lead.

Particularly odd that she brought this up again with Anderson Cooper as he already threw her down when she had brought it up to him before, pointing out that her candidate was doing much worse.

Conway 'mystified' Clinton can't close it out given her 'advantages'

Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump's campaign manager, said Tuesday night she can't believe Hillary Clinton isn't pulling away from her candidate in various battleground states given her numerous built-in "advantages."

Citing Clinton's massive fundraising lead on Trump and claiming the Democratic nominee has the media on her side, a common refrain for the Trump campaign, Conway derided Clinton on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Tuesday night for not being able to build a majority in swing-states where the Republican nominee has tumbled lately in the polls.

"She has so many advantages. She has endless money. She's got a lot of the media. She has a very popular president and first lady campaigning for her," Conway said. "I will tell you, I am mystified as to why she can't get to those 52, 53 percent numbers in some of these states given the disadvantages we're handed every day."

Trump has seen a consistent drop in the polls both nationally and in swing states in recent weeks as controversies surrounding his attacks on women, lewd commentary and numerous cases of alleged sexual assault have rocked the campaign. Since Sept. 26 Trump has netted an average of 39.6 percent of the vote in the dozen national polls using live-telephone interviewers, lagging substantially behind Clinton's 46.2 percent in a four-way match-up.

The swing-state math has also looked increasingly grim for the GOP nominee, with Trump trailing Clinton in Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania in recent polls, while tying the Democratic nominee in Ohio. The POLITICO weighted average for 11 identified battleground states stands at Clinton: 46.2 percent, Trump 41.5 percent.

Conway, however, says she remains confident that Trump can overcome supposed "disadvantages" and secure a victory come November.

"I don't feel sorry for us," she said. "I just think we're going to win this because people love a comeback story."

Trump tweeted this, quoting...himself.

Dems are up to 53 Senate Seats in Polls Only and the Nowcast on 538.

FOX internal poll numbers for Trump are as bad as the businesses he has run into the ground his entire life
