Yup. Almost like that was the plan this whole time.Strat wrote:Is it true that Trump currently has a TV show via his facebook live feed?

No way, I'd switch my vote to Trump.

He's certainly proven that many of the assumed knowns about how a campaign must be run were dubious at best. The spending he opted out of hasn't hurt him nearly as much as was expected, and he has made it very clear that a candidate could stab an old lady and rob a bank and still stay close to having half of the vote.bada wrote:If Trump had a modicum of self control he would have won.
Trump is gaining some ground nationally, and it appears he's pulling most of the support from former Johnson voters; Mr. "What's Aleppo?" is polling under 5% for the first time all year, which would mean--sorry, trag--that the Libertarians wouldn't get federal funding for 2020 if that's where he finishes.BurtReynolds wrote:it's gonna be to close for comfort if the pattern repeats itself.
What should maybe soothe Clinton supporters--or anyone who's scared of Trump-- is that the states Trump needs to win are so, so spread out that they really don't correlate with each other, i.e., they don't have similar demographics, industries, historic voting patterns, etc. He'd need to gain across the board and with so many different groups to win, say, Michigan and Nevada. It's not like he needs to lock up North and South Dakota.tragabigzanda wrote:I'm not surprised -- Johnson has been flaming out pretty hard the last couple weeks.

Where you've gotta look are Clinton's tipping-point states: Nevada (+3), Florida (+2), North Carolina (+2), and Iowa (+0.2, or something ridiculously small). Trump needs to win every one of those states--and even if he does, that's not enough to win. He'd then have to win New Hampshire (currently Clinton +7) to force an electoral college tie, or Pennsylvania (C +6), Colorado (C +6), or Michigan (C +6) to win. The more I write this out, the more nervous I get--people are saying that you "can't have so many polling errors this big," but there's still 10 days to go and Trump can probably pick up a few points here and there as long as things stay relatively calm.
I'm really not scared of Trump winning -- it would have to be such a perfect storm of events for that to happen -- but I am somewhat fearful of one (or a few) Trump supporters voicing their anger with violence.
