Yeah right...

In the past four days, RCP has moved the following states from leaning Hillary to toss up: Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.

Meanwhile, Georgia went from toss up to leaning Trump to toss up again. Virginia went from leaning Hillary to toss up to leaning Hillary again.

Talk about cutting it close...

See, that's the thing, really. Trump isn't going to be running anything. He will delegate everything to Pence anyway. The only difference is, with Trump, you'll have him kicking hornet nests and stirring things up.

If Trump wins, Comrade Putin will be running things.

It would be great to have a strong Russian Orthodox man straightening this country out. Velodya knows how to deal with hooligans and bandits.

He's like that substitute high school teacher trying to get control of his class.

FBI Investigating Burning Of Black Church Painted With 'Vote Trump'
http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/ ... vote-trump

"When firefighters arrived at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church Tuesday night, they found it in flames, and the 'Vote Trump' slogan written in silver spray paint on the outside wall of the church," Mark Rigsby of Mississippi Public Broadcasting reports.

"Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons calls this a hate crime — an attempt to frighten voters just days before the presidential election."

You're equating graffitti with arson?

[hedge]

He thinks it's worse...

[sardis]

Firebombing is not arson?

[Professor Tiger]

Racist arson > firebombing of Republicans, who deserve it.

[Jungle Rat]

I vote arson.

Comey says 'never mind' on the Wei-mails.

In a oh-so-related matter, a record 42 million Americans have voted early.

[Professor Tiger]

What, at this point, does it matter?

[hedge]

That is precisely my feeling about your existence...

[bluetick]

heh

Funny how the longest stock market losing streak in 30 years coincided with the 9 day stretch of FBI-induced email insecurity. Bad news for Hillary invariably means a drop in the market. Weird, considering investors used to favor the republican pro-business candidates.

The take from Investors.com:

For many investors, Trump's attacks on free trade and the Trans Pacific Partnership, not to mention his threat to impose tariffs on incoming goods, are a serious concern. They worry a Trump presidency might disrupt U.S. trade and hurt the global economy - perhaps even lead to a global recession.

"What Wall Street fears the most is uncertainty. And Trump defines uncertainty with a capital U."

[hedge]

I don't see how the definition of uncertainty changes if the u is capitalized...

[Johnette's Daddy]

The irony

Much as then Gov. Pete Wilson's anti-immigration policies turned California from a swing state to the bluest of Blue states 22 years ago, so may Donald Trump's policies mobilize the Latino vote into a permanent Democratic Party voting bloc.

I don't see how the definition of uncertainty changes if the u is capitalized...

A typical subject-predicate fail. Trump defines uncertainty; uncertainty doesn't define uncertainty, therefore calling for a capital "T" (which itself is redundant) instead of a u.

nobody proofs their online crap - even the NYT
