Hillary Clinton’s seven day polling average was never more than 8 points ahead (and even that was a brief peak). She averaged only 4 points ahead.

Polling said her lead fell to just 3.3 points in the final weeks of the election, when the FBI news broke, and the final vote was Hillary +2.1. So it was...pretty on the nose?

i wonder how these polls take into account deliberate voter disenfranchisement efforts by the GOP

voters purged from rolls, voting machine won't work, someone pulled the fire alarm during the recount, etc

i figure there must be a hurdle rate of at least 4% to overcome those kinds of election day 'surprises'

Joe Exotic's campaign manager should be getting a call shortly.

And I'm sure he was fired because things are going too well for Trump.

GOP: We want a full convention with no masks and no social distancing.
NC Gov: We can't promise that.
GOP: Fuck you! We're going to Florida.
NC Gov: :-(

...

GOP: OK, it turns out, we can't do a full convention with no masks and no social distancing.

...

GOP: The NC Governor is still a dick!

then all of america and the twittersphere descends on him

not a mean-spirited guy

just a young guy looking for work

i bet he and some of trump's campaign people have a lot in common

Dunno if you guys missed this one or not, but the newly appointed Trump Post Master General (who has no background in the Postal Service, but is a million dollar Trump donor) is trying to save cost, by eliminating overtime... by withholding the mail. Putting mistrust in the post office ahead of an election.

Sorry but that's a fact I'm going to immediately delete from my brain, it's too stupid of a world, can't handle it.

Its unclear to me why the feds control 90% of Nevada, but I thought the solution to that was to give it back to the states and have them do what they want with it.

Selling it off to the benefit of the Federal government is a very Trumpy move.
