Well that and in the 2000 election Gore was inexplicably framed as a liar and Bush as a straight shooter when GWB was freely spreading gigantic lies at every opportunity.

I have to say he is totally right and I am also amazed that the Times has yet to cover what appears to be the bribery of the Florida AG in the Trump University scandal.

As I have said in the past, I have never been a Pam Bondi or a Rick Scott fan. Pam isn't aging very well these days either :)

That is what Hillary's refugee imports are going to bring to you. May the branch fall onto the car of a liberal...

It is shocking that things have to get THIS BAD before these dumbed down liberals finally wake up and realize how stupid and wrong they've been, and yet even this isnt enough.

I've finally reached the breaking point of even reading your FUD. Which is odd, considering some of the others I still read :)

The CNN article is actually interesting. The voting demographics are very polarized and quite locked. Neither candidate is going to be able to change that dynamic at this point. Trump has no ground to gain. Clinton is slowly bleeding independent voters to Johnson or Stein, with some going to Trump. I don't think the bleed will be enough for Trump to overcome Clinton save a self inflicted wound or October surprise.

If you look at the data, Johnson has 30% who don't even know who he is. Getting into the debate would certainly help this... He also isn't included in all of the questions. Several ask for name recognition and include Pence and Kaine but not Weld.

I also see the 18-34 demographic was listed NA..... which is Johnsons best polling demo along with the military (which are likely 18-34..)

I would love to see Johnson on the debate stage solely to throw both Clinton and Trump off their game.

Lots of articles yesterday and today on Clinton's shrinking lead. While I can't believe Trump is ahead nationally or even electorally, it is clear that Clinton no longer commands a double digit lead.

She was riding a wave to clear victory after the DNC and then disappeared for the month of August, only to emerge and face renewed questions around her email and health.

I think Trump has a lock on his demographic and that won't change. What is worrisome for Clinton is that the Obama coalition and independents specifically are ambilavent towards her. Doesn't mean votes for Trunp but problematic if they stay home, which even the NY Times and LA Times are starting to hone in on

It's almost like once Trump stopped acting like a lunatic, people remembered that Clinton is a terrible candidate.

A tightening race only helps Clinton get the vote out.

Yeh, all of the hateful & ignorant shit he's spewed was erased from their memories, as well.

That flashy thing from Men in Black apparently works with television, too.

This is the mainstream media:

This is its job:

If this is where you get your worldview, then you will not understand why Clinton isnt winning. Because your worldview is spoonfed to you by a system that is trying to bring you Clinton. But luckily not everyone is under the control of this system.

Looks like that guy needed a bigger fire extinguisher.
