I think that, under current circumstances, Clinton is still extremely likely to win. She is probably one serious "controversy" away from a loss, though, so basically the US election is now determined by the quality of Wikileaks' Russian-bought goods.Strat wrote:Just kill me.

I think she is more likely to win but I'm nowhere near confident enough to say extremely confident. And that point you posted from 538 is a big reason why.

Maybe the election would be better without all these polls.

Re: Election 2016
Either way, it's the point in my last sentence that matters most. We are all sitting inside a hurricane election that not only suffers from foreign power and concentrated hacker influence, but where those parties may yet decide the outcome.4/5 wrote:I think she is more likely to win but I'm nowhere near confident enough to say extremely confident.

Either no election will ever be like this again, or all of them will. Either way, this is historic.

Re: Election 2016
That's interesting, because I feel like if the shit ever goes down, my money's on the pro gun, pro police, pro military side. The Left is gonna need to rethink their relationship with guns real quick.tragabigzanda wrote:Seriously happy I live in MT, guys. All our neighbors are liberals with semi-automatic weapons.

It's insane that with this map, Clinton still wins:

Re: Election 2016
I was just playing around with it, not really a prediction. In this scenario, she could still lose NH or NV (but not both) and still win.tragabigzanda wrote:Hmm, 538 is still showing FL in a dead heat.

It's even crazier to look at the county maps. (This ones from 2012)

Hmmm. I feel like information manipulation has been prevalent for a while now. It's hasn't been on this scale, but "leaks" before an election are not new and foreign interference is not new.

Re: Election 2016
Democrats should be less worried about the winning the presidency and more worried about regaining the Senate.

It's not that I disagree with you, but it's obvious that they have to win one or the other.Green Habit wrote:Democrats should be less worried about the winning the presidency and more worried about regaining the Senate.
Would a Democrat-led house try to block all Trump SCOTUS appointments? I'd be disappointed.
