People are sick of lies. Trump is a wild card despite the outright lies he told to get there. The Brexit dynamic is very real.

I believe in the Brexit vote dynamic and in fact made a post on it a few weeks ago actually.

I have never seen a candidate lie as brazenly, so viciously, or as often as trump. By a long shot. But I watched his supporters lap it up. With gusto.

Hence my concern post about the Brexit dynamic.

What he means is that trump leads by example and shows people how the corruption works by doing corrupt things himself. People like michael1980 appreciate that because they aren't smart enough to understand how actual corruption occurs. So when trump does shady corrupt things Michael1980 appreciates trump showing him how its done.

Lol, near silence in the Clinton camp.

So... When can we start to gas up those buses that will be taking the illegals back to Mexico?

Time to start the "Official 2016 Hillary death watch" thread?

This is nerve wracking. Absolutely nerve wracking. It so crazy because rural counties come in early and make it look bad, and you have to wait on the cities in these swing states to come in.

A lot of HRC's wins were in red states that a Dem had no chance of winning regardless. Maybe the DNC should re-evaluate how it weighs things.

A weighted primary state vote based upon potential viable electoral votes. That's interesting

Never underestimate the stupidity of most of the country.

Never underestimate the pompous arrogance of the smart "educated" elitists that look down at the little people as deplorables and tell them to "get educated when they are struggling"

the modern equivalent of " let them eat cake "

The people aren't voting for Trump so much but against Hillary and the establishment/corporate types that have been screwing them over for the last 30 years and getting rich off their backs.

He needed a state from the blue column to go red and NC is shaping up to be the one. A Trump win is beginning to look more likely. (less unlikely?)

Wisconsin is GOP ground game. Priebus and Ryan both being homers there. Michigan goes to the rust belt demographic that is drawn to Trump.

This must be that anti PC trump fluffers keep babbling about. Its ok for you and your team to look down on everyone that's not on your team but when it's the reverse? Someone get you a safe space!

Not seeing the equivalence between telling someone to educate themselves on a subject and the" let them eat cake " trope.
