Sooo who was that guy who allegedly tried to shoot Trump yesterday? Was he want-to-be-famous-crazy or need-to-save-my-country-crazy? Or was it a false alarm?

Ah yes, I remember that argument. 'The crisis of democracy', when the wrong people get to vote.

Are you talking about the guy who was just lifting a sign? Then almost got strangled to death by Trump fans?

False alarm. Was holding a Republicans Against Trump sign. Someone called that a gun.

I think it looks good so far, from what I can gather. I think so.
You really shouldn't be able to play with our world like that though :/

He was a protester holding a "Republicans against Trump" sign. Someone else yelled gun. I don't think that was yesterday, though, so maybe something happened I missed.

I think he's bad. My impressions after the debated never went away and I'm very disappointed with him. That said, imo Hillary is worse. For me it went Trump being a 6 and Hillary a 2, to Trump being a 3-4 and Hillary being a 2.5-3.

Clinton wins florida?

Hillary back to 50% in Florida

Seems this is the first election many have followed. The numbers are always all over the place and constantly switching at this point. Percent in doesn't matter as much as which counties have reported.
|
Can anyone whose election tracker is actually working at a county level say if Miami-Dade has even started reporting yet?

We are a collection of tiny governments overseen by one larger, but limited government. Ah yes, I remember that argument. 'The crisis of democracy', when the wrong people get to vote. There are likely thousands of articles and papers written on the subject. But the long and short of it is that a straight popular vote would disenfranchise a lot of the states. The president is an important role in the government, but gets far to much attention considering how powerful the legislature is(elected by pure popular vote). In reality, state governments have more impact on the general population.

Trump has helped deeply unpopular Hillary increase turnout in important areas. He's lost, like he was probably always going to, but now what about the Senate? That's what I care about. Need to hold on in FL,GA, MO, NC, NH.
PA, WI, IL prob lost. IL for sure.
And there are some important house races.

from 538 feed:
If you’re puzzling at the results in Virginia — more than a fifth of precincts are reporting and Trump leads by more than 10 points — don’t expect an upset there just yet. There’s still a ton of the vote left to report in Northern Virginia, specifically the heavily Democratic Washington D.C. suburbs.
I guess I'm not the only one freaking out about Virginia

They should have picked a slogan with a better acronym.
