Fantastically amusing: The Donald is at 9.4% on the Now-Cast, 11% on the polls only, ~21% on the polls plus.
As we get closer to November, I keep expecting that to rebound. For the fundamentals to matter, for red-leaning states to remember and say they are pro the Republican.
It keeps not happening. Georgia is blueish on the Now-Cast, north Carolina is more secure than Iowa.
I have nothing smart to add; my brain isn't working well enough for that. I am just expressing my shock.
[ And, as always, if a Trump supporter wants to explain it to me without referencing HRC or Obama? Please do. ]

Clinton has a lead of at least 9 percentage points in states collectively worth 273 electoral votes, including New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan and Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteWhat. Obama didn't have leads like that.
Yeah I mean anything could happen but the post RNC meltdowns over a Trump victory are pretty funny in retrospect.
ReplyDeleteTrump's hopes are basically now on something truly awful coming out about Clinton, which seems pretty unlikely.
ReplyDeleteActually, it seems to me that Trump is pinning his campaign hopes on much more old-fashioned notions ... like "You Second Amendment folks could stop her" and "Go and hang out at the polls in predominantly democratic districts ... hassle and scare people, because otherwise they're going to cheat." He's really looking to go back to the bad old days. I hope it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI think we all hope that doesn't work, Tony Lower-Basch . Voter suppression didn't work in either 2008 or 2012, though the candidate wasn't nearly so obvious about it.
ReplyDeleteBret Gillan Yeah! For the good of the country, I wish we had (at least) 2 nationally viable political parties. But, until the R's get their shit together or a new party emerges to the left, I'll enjoy my schadenfreude.
ReplyDeleteTony, I don't think he's hoping to get power that way, I don't even think he wants violence, I just think he's lazy about the way he talks and gleeful when it upsets people.
ReplyDeleteIntent or no, Robert Bohl , the dog whistling is strong.
