Last week, actually, and yes I mean the income gap between wealthy and middle class

https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/page/files/20160923_record_inequality_cea.pdf

TL DR: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-income-gap-began-to-narrow-under-obama/

I realized just now that "wage gap" is not the best phrase because that more popularly refers to the gender-based income gap (real or not, whatever the OWMSJWs are about to bitch about), and "income gap" refers to that based on class/socioeconomic status.

Well that is great news actually! Thank you for that. Obama has always been a solid president in my book. I wish to god he could stay in for another term.

Clinton Foundation , Benghazi , 20+ Trillion debt , illegal servers , record number of people on food stamps and welfare , intentionally depleted military , record high illegal immigration allowed with no background checks , destabilization of Libya and Syria , millions in foreign campaign donations < also illegal , allowing non citizens to vote , my choice is easy.... TRUMP.

Well, I guess we know who doesn't have their finger on the pulse of reality.

Yeah, most people who will be voting but not for a presidential candidate say they will leave it blank or write in someone's name. Is that what you will be doing?
If I go vote I'd do that. To be honest I don't care much for state politics even though it's probably more important to my day to day life. I'd probably off myself if I had to take in even more political crap lol

Polls are all over the place, and voters quite finicky.
Hillary has a good convention, and her polls rise. Time elapses and the polls once again narrow. Then another pretty good debate performance by Hillary and once again we see her numbers rise.
What is that telling us???
That people have short memory span.
And if given enough time, republicans can distort the truth creating doubt.
Then once again the people see Hillary in action and suddenly Hillary looks pretty good.
Especially when compared one on one with Donald trump.

Bottom line, I expect come election day the polls will be tied.
But come the end of election night, Hillary will have easily won with Trump pulling in around 37%.
Trump supporters appear and act like they are bigger than life, but looking closely at these people they average about 37% of the total population. About 37% of the electorate.
As large in volume Trump voters appear to be, I think the noise drowns out their actual strength in numbers.
I don't know if Hillary will win in a landslide, but she easily could.

Trump has great power with those that support him, got him through the primaries. But considering they were all republicans, and November 8th is about all registered voters not just republicans, I suspect Hillary will easily win.
And like I said, with Trump pulling in about 37% when all is said and done.

America appears to have dumbed down during this election, with decent intelligent Americans actually supporting Trump. However, when in the voting booth I trust most of those Americans will come to their senses and vote democrat.
I think there is enough anti-Trump sentiment and enough republican support out there for Hillary to give Hillary the edge.
True, there are those that have completely tossed all logic and reason out the window and went with Trump, but not nearly enough to actually get Trump elected.
And with trump the way he is, and two live debates still remaining, that has to spell nothing but trouble for Trump.
And with more nationally televised exposure, only a plus for Hillary.

Never, never ever has Donald Trump appeared a moral or decent individual, or qualified to be president when put before an audience of both sides, both democrats and republicans.
If the debates were viewed only by republican Trump supporters, then sure Trump would win.
But when up against "ALL" the electorate, both democrats AND republicans, that is when Trump fizzes, bombs, crashes, burns, and proves just how ignorant he really is.
That never fails...

I appreciate the fact that you don't vote. Thank you! Never change;)

I didn't expect you to understand the EC and why its bad for 38 states worth of population. Not many people are enlightened enough to understand why its a horrible outdated/out lived its usefulness model. But keep on sheeplin'
