At the end of the day, a significant portion of the GOP sides with Trump in the Ryan vs Trump feud. | ||

The fact that all of this is coming out in the last week of the election. I will say that upon further review, the article I previously posted makes some mental leaps that are not validated by evidence. I don’t think they are 100% unlikely, but they lack evidence to support. I've criticized you plenty in the past for lazying posting, so I'll take this chance to commend you on the self-reflection. EDIT: No, I don't suffer from delusions of grandeur and expect my approval to be in any way really important to you, but fair should be fair. I'm not sure if it's the fatigue of the election marathon getting to this thread or what, but it has almost been a downright pleasure to read today. The discussion of the statistics behind polls was a special treat which I found incredibly well-explained. EDIT2: And Legallord with the jinx. | ||

Twitter is another questionable one; maybe not entirely bad but with a high stupid to usefulness ratio. | ||

I will take twitter if everyone fully accepts that hot takes and first impressions are generally garbage. Twitter is second to none at provided live updates of something that is happening. | ||

I think it is worse than CNN and other sites. There's not even much non-election news, it's just all slanted election stuff. They clearly are embracing the Trumpist faction wholeheartedly. One might argue they are moving further right. I agree they are cheerleading for Trump given this new opening, but there is a complete disregard for HRC's cheating in debates, probe into CF, leaks from FBI agents from the rest of MSM. I don't blame Fox for trying to balance out that equation. Brett Baier is a solid reporter, and he is the one who has reported on most of the leaks about foreign actors accessing private server, 'avalanche' of evidence against CF, and DOJ trying to stop the investigation. | ||

You could say the same about any concrete Trump policy standpoint (especially beyond taxes & immigration) and he's gotten a golden ticket on that front. Most of Trumps policies are, "I'm going to do something and it will be great" | ||
