I discovered the #wearwhitetovote thing last night, so it seemed appropriate.

I don’t think they’ve having as much fun on the Trump plane. Just a hunch.

The Clintons were always the cool, smart kids everyone wanted to hang with. Then the Obamas came along and were the same thing with rocket fuel.

And those people don’t look like they’re panicked over their internal polling.

White after Labor Day? I just shuddered thinking of my grandmothers haunting me if I participated.

Also women wearing pantsuits. Is that really a thing?

‘Day of’ tracking poll shows +5. Almost certain it will be greater. The polling models seem static.
Aggregators like Nate aren’t going to invalidate theirs for a one-off like Trump-- IMHO.

Yes, it is.

Yes - Despicable Nugent and Chachi, that’s all Trump’s got. Good luck with the family brand after today!

Ask Armani.

And then go to Rome. You’ll see plenty. Yes they are a thing. Very definitely a “thing,”

There’s every reason to think the big story tonight and tomorrow will be absolutely unprecedented enthusiasm among women and Latinos and quite a few other groups. I just don’t think polling was ever designed to capture this unique situation. For educated women it’s a perfect storm. And as far as I can tell on my Facebook feed it’s across the board agewise. Some very ardent Bernie fans are now excited about Hillary. That’s a biggie. And Bernie himself was really throwing himself into this in the last few days—I think he got religion after the Comey letter. Fingers crossed.

The challenge involves taking video of large groups of people frozen in place, often in complex action scenes. It began, as many online trends do, with teenagers. It spread through high schools nationwide to sports teams, musicians and now, a presidential campaign, in a matter of weeks.

It’s like when Hiro froze time on Heroes.

Oh, it’s real. I saw a 102 year-old woman who wore a white pantsuit just so she could vote for Hilary.

I was struck by the real visible diversity in the picture… something not matched on Drumpf Air.

Damn it that makes me happy not because it’s a “we win” thing but because she will work for the things Bernie’s supporters think are important. I’m glad they are giving her a chance - I have never said this about another candidate for any office, but by god President Hillary deserves this.

It comes from the suffragettes wearing white when the got the vote. YeeHaw! I’m looking through my closet right now. Got my perfunctory recorded call from Pres. Obama a few minutes ago and I’m preparing to head out the door to cast my singular but all-important vote. I still have to quickly review which “non-partisan” judges have the people’s back and I’m off…

Here’s more on this:

There were and are literally millions of perfectly sensible Bernie supporters who shrugged when he lost and figured they’d support Hillary. Meaningful numbers of others didn’t right away, and some were very vocal. But I have plenty of friends who felt the Bern, voted, lost, and moved on to support the nominee because she’s closer to what you want and won’t destroy the earth in a snit. It’s just the rational thing to do.
