darkblue Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's hilarious how the "mainstream media" is covering up - as in not talking about - all the dirt that was recently released by WikiLeaks. That's the only reason she's still at 60 percent. The media is determined to get her elected, just like every official body everywhere. The FBI, the DOJ, the Military, every Corporation in the world. Voting against Clinton has become the ultimate statement of resistance. 7 more weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BelleLeGrand1 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 FiveThirtyEight summary of polls (Electoral Votes) With Trump taking FL, NC, OH, IA: 270 WINS. Clinton: 288 Trump: 248 I lived in OH before moving to IA, and IMO there's no way she's going to win either one, let alone both. It's sheer folly to count them in her win column at this point. In IA, when Harkin retired, his Senate seat went to Ernst, Grassley has no competition from Judge, and we have a Republican governor, who is pretty popular. Other than traditional Dem. strongholds like Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Youngstown, the rest of OH leans strongly Republican. Cincinnati is a particularly good example of that, and lots of rural areas also vote Republican. The DNC has no confidence in Ted Strickland, judging by their withholding campaign funds: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/08/29/democrats-delay-ad-spending-on-ohio-senate-race/ Poll watching is fun, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ElCid Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 certainly not insurmountable for donny, is it TheCid? Nor is it insurmountable or unlikely that the closer we get to Nov, the greater the margin of Clinton's lead will be. Main point is that in the most accurate polling data, Clinton leads in liklihood of exceeding the 270 needed for a win in the Electoral College. Link to post Share on other sites

If something doesn't change, and things continue as is, Trump wins. At this point I almost want it to happen. You know how if there's one really dumb kid who keeps trying to put his hand on the hot stove, and you keep telling him no, but he keeps trying, so eventually you just have to let him touch it to see why it was a bad idea?

It does fluctuate and Clinton is losing ground. But as Nate Silver says on the site, it will get more accurate the closer we get to the election itself. It's about 7 weeks off. Don't you know when you are going to vote? Link to post Share on other sites
ElCid Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Maybe after 3 months, Congress will say to him, "You're fired!" Never happen. The GOPers in the House would never indict him. Paul Ryan would never let it get to a floor vote. Too afraid of being primaried out of office in 2018. Even if they did, little chance there would be the 2/3 votes in Senate to convict him. My greatest concern about a Trump presidency would be his appointments to the Supreme Court. And the Senate will confirm whoever he nominates, assuming the GOPers retain a majority.
