He had Bush campaigning in California the week before election day in 2000. roving is taking confidence and warped polls to a level that'll actually effect the election. | ||

I don't like Hillary, but her being president is without a doubt going to be a lot more reasonable than Trump as president. If she loses this, I think I'll start campaigning for the Democrats for Congress in 2018 Wait, I just realized now that Trump is to the Democrats what Obama was to the Republicans, now I can kind of understand why they tried everything they could to stop anything he wanted Trump winning is nothing short of a miracle, he was the underdog in every single facet from the very beginning. its disgusting how imbalanced this race has been so far. Electoral map, money, establishment, surrogates, celebrities, media all against trump. I respect someone who can win in those circumstances, and what I do not respect is how hrc can lose with all those adv. | ||

I suppose a better test will be whether Nate or PEC seem more accurate in predicting whether or not the current shift in polls towards Trump is real; the PEC says that they will have to eat their words if Trump gets over 240. However, what I'm really calling BS on is the way they try to explain themselves. Their track record and their confidence in current results are not very in line with each other. They also just don't really sound like they know what they're doing. The math banter also has reached unknown levels lol + Show Spoiler + This election is turning everybody into enemies, not even statistics are safe | ||

What I do not respect is how someone can lose to HRC (as will happen), especially with wall to wall free media coverage (best advantage enjoyed by any candidate ever) for ~18 months. | ||

I guess he finally made a competent political decision .One of the reasons he's closing in is that she is in the news and he is not. With early voting it's probably not enough, but it is fascinating how reliable this phenomenon is. And it seems safe to say there are no more leaks coming. I thought they might have had one more Trump story in the bag, but I guess not. | ||

Actually, the electoral map favors him in that he's more likely to win the electoral college but lose the popular vote-Clinton is doing better in a lot of red states than previously, which helps her popular vote share but doesn't really help her electoral votes, making the split more likely. That and the specific states aren't terrible for him. | ||

Though admittedly I don't care for sports predictions, I can appreciate a bit of statistics banter. Numbers without spirit get dull sometimes. | ||

The media is the only reason someone as ignorant as Trump is competitive to begin with, and they have given him hundreds of millions of dollars of free coverage. And among all of that free coverage he actually gets less negative coverage than Hillary despite, ironically, being the vastly more negative candidate. Funny how that works. Hillary sneezes and it's a scandal. Trump talks about how he could shoot someone and they barely cover it. Oh and Trump is not anti-establishment. He's a corrupt media executive billionaire (or some would say "billionaire") who has the entire GOP war-chest behind it. | ||
