this. I want a blowout. I want these turds buried and take their rotten, racist, sexist ideology with them.
Humiliate these SOBs so they’re embarrassed to ever show their faces in public.

And because he is a sociopath bully. So if he is going to lose, he and Bannon are going to make it as unpleasant not just for HRC, but for everyone who does not love him and support him and sing his praises and the praises of his ugly fake hair.

I have faith in SC and Kansas. Both always vote for the worst of the worst.

The reason we have polling aggregators is to provide us with an alternative to cherry picking the polls that are the most consistent with the normal human need to seek vindication for the things we’ve been saying all along.
That said, yeah, I’ll believe Kansas and South Carolina when I see it. Both will be much closer than anyone would have believed possible two years ago, but I’m just not believing it. But of the two, South Carolina is much more believable, both because there’s been some insanely close polling there and because the local Republicans haven’t had their faces rubbed into the reality of libertarianism the way Kansas has, making it possible that Johnson could schlong Trump there.

The Center for Politics also moved Nebraska’s Second Congressional District from “leans Republican” to “leans Democratic,”
Thanks, Omaha.

South Carolina?
Aw, c’mon.That state is redder than the necks of the people who live there.

There are lots of good democrats in SC—just not a majority.
And stop equating Southerners with rednecks—rednecks live all over the US, from Maine to California.

That analysis is all well and good, but the Pew poll that came out yesterday has some disturbing news. While Hillary is doing much better than Trump with younger people she isn’t doing as well as she should. Surprising numbers of voters under 30 seem to be flirting with Johnson and Stein.

I’m of the same mind. SC has a pretty decent size minority population at about 34%. Plus, if you ignore the fact that they’re all Republicans, they did elect an East Indian woman as their governor, a black man as senator, and then there’s Lindsay Graham…My point is that SC has probably changed a lot more than we give credit. Donald Trump’s brand of assholery may not be as attractive as it may have been only a decade ago and there may be enough voters of goodwill to stop him.

Well, we can’t expect much from Oklahoma and Idaho… I’ll just be content if North East connects with Florida and East coast (something like the transcontinental train only in Blue States)

The stupid still runs deep in the USA for this scenario to become reality.

Steve, the polling aggregator that I linked to has Clinton up by 5.5 pts. on average. The most recent poll before Pew had Clinton up by 2, and the next most recent had her up by 4. In fact, the RCP polling average appears to be skewed (really!) by their oldest poll by Monmouth, an outlier that shows her up by 13 pts., which is a full 7 pts. higher than the next highest poll at 6 pts. There is nothing “cherry picked” about that Pew poll, so please refrain from inferring that my linking to that poll is somehow “seek(ing) vindication for the things (I’ve) been saying all along.”
Although I am perfectly aware of the tendency you mention; I see it all the time.
ETA: If you take out the Monmouth poll, the oldest and an outlier, the other 7 polls average to 4.4%. So 4% is not much of an outlier.

Sorry, it’s Sabato. I have my doubts.
They think it’s Masters and Johnson and they’ve heard of them somewhere.

I saw one today on Facebook declaring she felt her only option was Trump because of what Clinton did to Bernie (???) and because Clinton defended the rapist of a 12 year old girl and laughed about it. That primary was the worst mistake the Democratic Party has ever made.

You ain’t kidding. Clinton up by 4% over Trump, at this late date, after all the outrages he’s committed? It seems insane that that’s the extent of her lead!
A grapefruit might be doing better than Clinton

In Kansas, it’s probably also a product of Brownback’s dismal performance. How anyone can trust the Republican Party, at this point, is beyond me.

538 has Georgia flipped back to red. It’s more likely the gap will narrow than widen. Extremes usually don’t last.

I’m with you, but the turds aren’t content in the septic tank, they’re dying for an invite to the pool party.
