What you really should be concerned about is the possibility that the polls get even worse than they are right now. The trends suggest that they might. | ||

Trump needs a lot of coin flips to win while Hillary needs very little to win. People doubted nate silver back in 2012 and he was almost right on the money. | ||

I don't think Comey, or anyone else could've stopped such leaks; the country is sufficiently polarized that some people will feel the need to leak, even if it jeopardizes their career. The best that can be done is to punish the leakers (if they violated the law and/or agency rules). My concern is the corrosion of Democracy. The FBI has a very bad history here and we are quickly returning that history. The feedback loop is supposed to be: FBI troops investigate in secret FBI bosses review in secret FBI bosses report to DOJ in secret DOJ makes a decision on charges/indictment and to go public Now we have Trumpkin agents going rogue and feeding friendly media sources accusations (see also, the 99% chance HRC's server was hacked even though no evidence has been presented). Right wing media will Trumpet these claims like they are facts without having to show the underlying facts to back them up. FBI troops can now generate news cycles at their own discretion. 99% chance http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/11/breaking-fbi-now-99-certain-least-5-foreign-services-hacked-hillarys-server/ FBI troops getting shut down, going rogue http://www.wsj.com/articles/secret-recordings-fueled-fbi-feud-in-clinton-probe-1478135518 | ||

That's just the thing he made her refuse herself and throw shade on the investigation. The FBI was forced into transparency beacuse of it and that's why they had to announce the reopening days ago. The thing people are missing is the relationship between transparency and partisanship. People like transparency in government when it works for them aparently. | ||

Nate is saying it looks like Clinton but Trump is within the margin of error and if the same error replicates itself in multiple states, which is likely because they're correlated outcomes, then Trump has a path to victory, albeit still only if he can break the firewall. | ||

Statistically sound, but very, very lucky; see my earlier mega-post. And if you trust him, even he says this election is too close to call. | ||

Trump wins in a draw because the house would vote him president. | ||

No evidence of server hacking presented, instead just the "confidence" of rogue agents bypassing the DOJ and going straight to friendly media. | ||

So she resolved herself to stay out of it, and said as much. Then, a few months later, Bill met with her. People cried out that it was an attempt to influence the process so Lynch again stated that she was not involved and that was literally the end of it. | ||

For better or for worse once there are questions asked about the impartially of an investigation you either need to confirm your right to secret investigation or open the doors to disprove the acusations. The FBI and Comey went for transparency and declared that they closed the investigation which was a boost for Hillary. Once more evidence came to him he was forced to reopen and retract that public statement. If he had kept his secrecy from the start people would be only softly asking questions and conspiracy theory weaving about her emails expecially with wiki leaks propelling the story. | ||
