Election 2016: Trump vs. Clinton

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Donald Trump has been the presumptive Republican nominee for 37 days.

It is not going well.

His bundlers are struggling to raise money. His field organization is a joke; his communications shop is massively outgunned. His aides are squabbling and leaking to the press. Top Republicans are denouncing him daily on national TV. And the latest big national poll — taken after he began attacking a federal judge for being “Mexican” — suggests that his early mistakes are already doing damage.

Meanwhile, Democrats are rallying behind his all-but-certain rival, Hillary Clinton. On Wednesday and Thursday, her campaign orchestrated a dazzling media blitz, booking interviews with 12 news organizations and choreographing the rollout of major endorsements while gently nudging aside Bernie Sanders.

Trump responded with a few tweets.

When Clinton announced her endorsement from President Barack Obama on Thursday afternoon, Trump fired off a relatively tepid message: "Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!"

Clinton's team responded within minutes: "Delete your account." A few hours later, Trump offered his rejoinder: "How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?" Trump has bristled at comparisons between his staff size and that of Clinton's, using it as another point to argue that his spartan team has been more efficient and lower-cost, suggesting that he would do more with less as president.

The most tangible sign of Trump's floundering, however, came in a Fox News national poll released Thursday night. While recent surveys have shown Trump either closing the gap with or surpassing Clinton, the Fox poll showed Trump's three-point lead in the previous survey against Clinton had turned into a three-point deficit.

I have a feeling the election is going to be very entertaining if nothing else.

[rmt]

It's been a bad 2 weeks for Trump and a very good few days for Hillary. I expect an even wider margin in her favor as she gets a bump from clinching the nomination and further uniting the Democrats (as long as Bernie falls in line - which I expect him to do). Still a long time till November.

The reports of fund-raising not going well is troubling but expected - why should these donors fund Trump when he intends to shake up Washington? I wonder if he can tweet and social media his way to the election?

Hillary's been enjoying a great few weeks. Ever since she neutered him with that foreign speech. He still hasn't recover from it.

Republicans must be kicking themselves. They let a prime oportunity go when that State Department report came out where they destroyed Clinton. They couldn't take advantage of it because Trump is too stupid to keep his mouth shut.

Hillary has a real problem on her hands with the youth vote. Millennials turned out in huge numbers for Obama and were critical to his success. A lot of these people are disenfranchised with the DNC establishment now and will either vote Green, vote Trump, or stay home on election day.

The Bernie 18-24 segment will vote, if they vote, against Trash, not Hillary. Polls show 1/3 or more of each side will really be voting against the "unfavorable" opponent, rather than for their party's slightly "unfavorable" candidate.

"thought Romney was a shoo in too"

the media plays a huge rule by biasing their reporting to give the idea that both candidate are equally electable, it's damn close, nail-biting, super-dramatic race, so above all stay tuned to us (so our audience ratings and ad rates stay high)

Big budget data operations have become a mainstay for presidential campaigns in recent years, but Donald Trump says he has no plans to invest in microtargeting and voter models.

Trump's campaign will cede a rather huge advantage to the Democrats.

Not really.

After the convention, you will get Sanders and Obama on the trail for her, and I find it hard to believe that anyone who would put their vote behind Sanders would really jump ship for Trump.

You might not see as much participation in younger age ranges, but whoever does show up in those ranges will be overwhelmingly voting for Nottrump.

Clinton was secretary of state for years. You might remember her presence in the room as the Bin Laden thing went down.

She will bring a sophisticated, nuanced understanding of the foreign policy aspects from day 1.

Say what you like about her or her husband, she also has some inkling as to what the job entails, and has very, very ready access to someone else who knows the job almost exactly.

I am quite comfortable voting for Hillary Clinton on that basis.

It's weird. Most of his supporters said he'd tone down his rhetoric after the GOP primary and swing more towards the center in the general.

It's not so much about moving to the center, he's just saying and doing some really stupid shit right now that doesn't benefit him with any side. He also went off on US soldiers stealing cash in Iraq during a rally yesterday.

When he first announced I assumed it was a publicity stunt and he didn't really want to be the nominee. I'm starting to think that was the case but his primary opponents were so shitty he couldn't help but win. Maybe he is trying to force the GOP to dump Trump so he can spend the rest of his life saying "I told you so" no matter what happens in the election.

[TeyshaBlue]

Between the God delusion and his carpet bombing nonsense, I beg to differ about Cruz.

[TeyshaBlue]

He is considered by his peers on both sides to have a pretty impressive brain pan. That doesn't mean he's wise or even particularly competent.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I don't think many of the congresspeople are all that bright either. A whole lot of average and worse for the most part from what I've seen coming out of committee. When money becomes the deciding factor instead of merit, its bound to happen.

With Cruz specifically it's hard to tell empirically because the only policy he ever puts forward is obstructionism. His sycophants in the freedom caucus like Lee and Inhofe are some real mouthbreathers.

Ted Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton and Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law

If I knew nothing else about him, I would say he is pretty bright.

That said, what would worry me is his belief in the conspiracy theory about climate scientists, his call to repeal the federal Common Core law (doesn't exist),


During an interview with CNN’s Candy Crowley, Cruz continued to ratchet up the Ebola fear machine as much as possible by saying that we shouldn’t trust medical experts – because they’re all working for President Obama. When asked by Crowley to defend his push for a travel ban, despite the fact that it’s near unanimous among medical experts that a travel ban would make the situation worse, Cruz said, “The doctors and experts that are saying this are working for the administration and are repeating the administration talking points. Their arguments don’t make sense.”

"net neutrality is Obamacare for the internet"--tweet


“I believe that public policy should follow the science and follow the data,” Cruz replied. “I am the son of two mathematicians and computer programmers and scientists. In the debate over global warming, far too often politicians in Washington — and for that matter a number of scientists receiving large government grants — disregard the science and data and instead push political ideology.”


Ted Cruz: While his kooky father would like you to know that evolution is a Communist lie, the Texas senator himself “won’t discuss evolution directly,” the New Yorker reported.

Cruz very pointedly never says anything about it, but runs in some pretty indicative circles.

That and some of his other policy stances, and combative temprament...

No.

He might have some book-learnin' but he seems to be a slave to his own confirmation bias.

Really smart people can be smart in their own areas of expertise, but morons outside of it.

The fact that he thinks data can be subjective, scares the bejeebus out of me, although it is a common thread among conservatives, who seem to deal with facts that contradict their internal model of reality with outright blanket dismissals.

[boutons_deux]

Krazy Kruz absolutely knows he's LYING, CONNING, DEMAGOGUING.

Donald Trump has vowed to remake the electoral map by winning states that have been reliably blue in recent cycles — but the GOP’s best pollsters say his bluster is a long way from aligning with reality.

Trump, who has been slow to campaign in swing states while raising money by stumping in red states like Texas last week, should be able to count on winning Republican strongholds — states such as Arizona (11 Electoral College votes) and Georgia (16), where he campaigned last Wednesday, despite some optimism from Democrats that those increasingly diverse states could be put in play. In total, the party’s electoral math gurus say the presumptive GOP nominee likely starts the general election with a hold on 19 states, giving him a total of 164 Electoral College votes.

To reach 270, Trump’s team is aiming to capture America’s Rust Belt — specifically, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin — where polls generally show him performing better than Mitt Romney did at this point in 2012. If he can capture Florida and keep North Carolina — the 2012 red state of the lightest hue — a strong showing that includes capture of the Rust Belt could, Trump’s team believes, put him over the top.

But the odds are long, veteran strategists said.

“It’s a fantasy. Romney got 19 percent of nonwhites. Is Trump going to do better? I don’t think so,” said Stuart Stevens, Romney’s 2012 campaign strategist. “It’s a joke. It’s just talking. It has no grounding in reality.”

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yep, you're an idiot.

Yet the 'idiot' and a smilie had you in a mini-meltdown spamfest around this time yesterday. What does that make you?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Hillary Clinton’s super PAC has begun spending $145 million on ads in eight states through November — and there’s a realistic path for her to win the White House even if she carries only one of them.

It’s a sign of how strongly tilted the Electoral College map is in Clinton’s favor, as she begins a general election campaign building upon the demographic and geographic coalition that President Obama rode to two electoral landslides. Donald Trump, in contrast, must dramatically reimagine and redraw the political landscape to capture the presidency.

Rather than expand the 2012 map in any significant way, the Clinton campaign and its allies want to replicate it. They are obsessed with choking off Trump’s narrower path, hoping to strike a decisive victory in Florida — multiple Clinton officials declared there is nearly no path for Trump without it — while aggressively defending the Democratic-leaning states in the industrial Midwest that Trump has talked most about flipping — most importantly, Pennsylvania. Campaign officials say they think Clinton can turn out more female voters than Obama did. But they see one surrogate in particular as key to recreating the Obama coalition: President Barack Obama himself.

Clinton has a multitude of paths, as her allies and advisers see it. Trump has a single route: ginning up disaffected, non-college educated, working-class white voters -- many whom may never have voted before -- to sweep across the Rust Belt, in places like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio.

Donald Trump Parts Ways With Controversial Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski


The New Hampshire native had no experience on national campaigns, and had jealously protected his access to and influence with Trump, arguing that letting “Trump be Trump” was the strategy that would win the White House just as it won the nomination.

But Lewandowski faced increasing pressure from both inside the campaign and from Republican Party leaders to broaden his approach and conduct a more traditional campaign to go up against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

For weeks, Lewandowski had been competing with longtime GOP lobbyist and consultant Paul Manafort, who was originally brought in to manage the campaign’s delegate tracking operation for the nominating convention in Cleveland.

Even as Manafort went to Republican National Committee members and Republican members of the House and Senate to assure them that Trump would adopt a more “presidential” tone and strategy after he secured the nomination, Lewandowski worked to keep things as they had been.

Donald Trump's campaign started the month with a paltry $1.3 million in cash — a mere fraction of Hillary Clinton's $42.5 million war chest — putting the GOP frontrunner at a sharp disadvantage heading into the general election against Clinton's money machine.

On the same day that Trump fired his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, amid a steady stream of reports of campaign infighting and disorganization, the latest batch of Federal Election Commission filings show that the real estate mogul has a long way to go to establish a financial operation that can compete at the national level.

And it's not just money — the filings revealed a campaign staff of less than 70, a number was dwarfed by Clinton's nearly 700 paid employees, and few of the campaign's expenses suggested work had begun to build out a more robust operation. All together, it's the most lopsided fundraising start to a presidential election in the modern campaign finance era.

For his next trick, Trump questions Clinton’s religious faith

Recently, most of Donald Trump’s offensive rants have focus on race and ethnicity, but not religion. Any chance he can pick the slack and start making faith-based insults, too?

As it turns out, yes, he can (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/284281-trump-questions-clintons-religion).

Donald Trump questioned Hillary Clinton’s commitment to her Christian faith on Tuesday, saying that little is known about her spiritual life even though she’s been in the public eye for decades.

Speaking to a group of top social conservative evangelical Christian leaders at a gathering in New York City, Trump said, “we don’t know anything about Hillary in terms of religion.”


“Now, she’s been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there’s no – there’s nothing out there,” Trump said.

“There’s like nothing out there. It’s going to be an extension of Obama but it’s going to be worse, because with Obama you had your guard up. With Hillary you don’t, and it’s going to be worse.”

As The Hill’s report noted, the behind-closed-doors meeting was not open to the public or to journalists, but one faith leader recorded Trump’s comments and posted them online.

Trump's campaign cycles $6 million into Trump companies

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Donald Trump's campaign likes to keep it in the family.

When Trump flies, he uses his airplane. When he campaigns, he often chooses his properties or his own Trump Tower in New York City, which serves as headquarters. His campaign even buys Trump bottled water and Trump wine.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been on the campaign trail for a year now, and federal finance reports detail a campaign unafraid to co-mingle political and business endeavors in an unprecedented way — even as he is making appeals for donations.

Through the end of May, Trump's campaign had plunged at least $6.2 million back into Trump corporate products and services, a review of Federal Election Commission filings shows. That's about 10 percent of his total campaign expenditures.
Wealthy political candidates in the past have walled off their business from their campaigns, but Trump embraces his companies. Public documents indicate his revenue has risen along with his presidential aspirations.


Trump's campaign didn't respond to detailed questions about the intermingling of his businesses and campaign.

Trump isn't the first high-profile politician to run a campaign while managing large corporate assets. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and presidential contender Steve Forbes both ran companies bearing their name.

Both took great care to carefully separate their businesses and their campaigns, their former aides said, citing the complex maze of campaign finance regulations about using corporate resources. For instance, federal rules require a company to charge their campaigns fair-market value.

Trump also lent his campaign more than $46 million over the past year — money he has largely not recouped, according to FEC reports.

The campaign has paid about $520,000 to Trump Tower Commercial LLC and the Trump Corporation for rent and utilities. The campaign also paid $423,000 to Trump's private Mar-a-Lago Club in south Florida for rent and catering and an additional $135,000 in rent and utilities to Trump Restaurants LLC.

The campaign paid out $26,000 in January to rent out a facility at Trump National Doral, his golf course in Miami. He'd held an event in the gold-accented ballroom there in late October. The campaign paid almost $11,000 to Trump's hotel in Chicago.

Even $4.7 million the campaign has spent on hats and T-shirts has a tie to Trump. The provider, Ace Specialties, is owned by a board member of son Eric Trump's charitable foundation.

He has been mostly self funded. When you're self funded, it's hard to bat an eye. That's why his "warchest" is only a tiny fraction of Hillary's, though. People aren't really going to donate to him because that's sort of his main appeal - being rich enough to stay outside of the political "game." At least, that's what his supporters believe.

I fail to see how a charitable foundation privately enriches the Clintons. Conservatives have been trying to (unfairly it would seem) ding that with little effect, which causes me to be highly skeptical of most criticisms.

Another thing I just don't understand is what the fucking deal is about "the speeches".

Are we going to give a shit about how the free market prices something?

While I haven't looked into the pricing, or anything, the people making the case about that providing some undue influence, have to be better about proving out an accusation then "it looks fishy to me" from someone with a direct motivation to lie about what it "looks like".

If there was something specific, that would out itself pretty quickly.

Are we going to hold every single candidate 100% responsible to release transcripts of all their speeches given to private groups? Are/did you going to insist on that for Mitt Romney? If not, then why not?

There is a big reason why I tend to give this shit short shrift, especially since most of it comes from political enemies. That right there makes me want a good deal more evidence, and more specific evidence than I might otherwise, and I haven't gotten anything, which causes my skept-o-meter to edge into the red.

I am not blind to it.

Your problem in hanging your hat on it, is that all ex-presidents give speeches, and our entire political system is awash in money, and apparent conflicts of interest.

Why are you holding the Clintons accountable to a higher standard than say, the Bushes? or Reagan?

http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/18/trump-reagan-blair-biz-media-cx_lh_0318speeches.html

I would note Trump's fees are right up there.

If your problem is influence... how much influence could $1.5M buy?

It all looks bad, to me.

As much as it may be influence peddling, I would ask for any concrete associations. If it is a bribe as the moron TheSannityAnnex implies, but is too lazy/dishonest to bother trying to prove, then the link should be clear.

If there isn't some very specific quid pro quo, all you have is the usual partisan bullshit, and the kind of smear that the right excels at, i.e. doorbell ringing, then running away.

To be clear:

I am sure there is generally some expectation of access on the part of some, or even most of the people giving to the Clinton foundation. That seems to be the way things work for both Democrats and Republicans. I would prefer that money would have less of an influence, but getting rid of it would almost certainly have some negative unintended consequences, e.g. do we then tell businesses with billions at stake, NOT to say/do anything to protect their interests?

What I think a lot of people are missing is that the Clinton Foundation is a charity. That is an important aspect that the right-wing media glosses over in their rush to score propaganda victories at the expense of a more accurate picture.

The big problem I have, and why I give this all a lot of short shrift is that the charges are so amorphous.

If it is bad in some specific way, that is a whole other matter.

If, for example, funds were given, and some contract was steered to/from someone, and the harm was measurable, that would be meaningful.

This is the kind of stuff I don't see much of, when I go looking for information about this. Which lead me to think it is just a lot of partisan bullshit.

IF there was something really provably illegal, that would out pretty quickly. At best what is implied is something that can be said to be unethical, but ultimately, without direct proof of intent or state of mind, can't be proven to any definitive degree.

One generally should look to political enemies to be the first to bring forth negative things you need to fully judge someone. I am cool with that happening, and it is, to me, a good part of the political process.

What I don't do, though, is put too much stock in the strength of thouse issues, until there is a pretty good amount of evidence, because so much of what goes on is pure partisan bullshit.

The right-wing propaganda machine has gotten good at implying and lying about all sorts of things that, when given a little light of day, turn out to be little more than pablum for the faithful.

That pablum seems to sastify a lot of people on the right who don't quite have good critical thinking skills. This lack of critical thinking skills plays out day in, day out here. Donning-Kruger over, and over.

People like tlong or TSA are *sure* they have *the* truth. Until you start asking questions about specifics and underlying data/assumptions.

Donald Trump said last week he hasn’t really started campaigning in the general election. It shows in his poll numbers.

After weeks of blistering news coverage, the latest round of national and battleground-state polling underscores the hole in which Trump now finds himself: trailing Hillary Clinton by a significant margin with fewer than 100 days remaining until early voting begins in the key swing states of Ohio and Iowa.

Two new, major national polls released Sunday morning — surveys from ABC News/Washington Post and NBC News/Wall Street Journal — differ to some degree, but both are consistent with the broader trend: Clinton holds a reliable lead over Trump, an advantage that occasionally swells to double digits.

Trump now trails Clinton by 6.3 points in the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, and by 6.6 points in the HuffPost Pollster model. In the key states in the Electoral College, POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average shows Clinton ahead by 4.3 points. And perhaps even more important, Trump is lagging behind on a number of other key indicators, including candidate favorability.

At this point four years ago, Mitt Romney was essentially tied with President Barack Obama, trailing by just four-tenths of a percentage point. With the exception of 1988, no candidate in modern presidential history who trailed by this much in June has come back to win.

FiveThirtyEight: Site's Nate Silver Predicts Hillary Clinton Will Win General Election Over Donald Trump

The editor-in-chief of the statistical analysis website said on ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday that Clinton has a 79 percent chance of winning compared to 20 percent for Trump.

https://www.facebook.com/topic/FiveThirtyEight/102185646489640?source=whfrt&position=1&trqid=6301661960247584092

pundits, polls have been way off in the past few elections, but anyway ...

even 60% hillary vs 40% trump as winner is good enough.

Repug convention will be a hilarious zoo as the dysfunctional-almost-to-defunct Repug party embarrasses itself on national teevee.

And if Trash gets stopped, maybe some of his Trash Tramps will shoot up the place, riots. Chicago 1968 all over again. Very entertaining.

Polls this week on RealClearPolitics:

Tuesday, July 12

Iowa: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Monmouth Clinton 42, Trump 44, Johnson 6, Stein 1 Trump +2 Margin of error: +/- 4.9

I guess there will be a bump for Clinton after Bernie's endorsement.

Stein and Gary seem to be pulling evenly from Clinton and Trump - maybe a very slight more pulling from Clinton from what I've observed in the difference between polls with them and without.

I am not trying to fudge any data to suit any agenda as you are suggesting. In general, if you look at those polls that provide just Clinton/Trump head-to-head AND those with Stein and Gary, you will see that there is very little difference between the difference between Clinton and Trump - as I said, maybe a very slight more (only a point) from Clinton. I did not mean WITHIN these particular ones that I posted which don't have Clinton/Trump head to heads.

Maybe I'm not expressing myself clearly:

Pls look at RealClearPolitics Thursday, July 7 - there are 2 Pew Research polls - one with Clinton/Trump head to head and another with Johnson. Spread in both is Clinton +9 - no difference. There are 2 Reuters polls - one with (spread Clinton +9) and one without Johnson and Stein (spread Clinton +11) - so my conclusion was that Johnson and Stein are very slightly drawing more from Clinton. Same thing on Monday, July 4th.

Don't you agree that her staying impartial was essentially a victory for Clinton? If she came out and endorsed Clinton when sanders was still alive, the progressive wing of the party that worships her would view her as a sellout. This enabled her to keep her base but to still help Clinton.

As it is now, she prefers Clinton over Trump. Not that hard to interpret. Stein has zero chances of winning.

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/07/12/many-voters-think-theyve-seen-trump-ads-on-tv-but-he-hasnt-run-any/?mod=e2tw


Nearly half of voters in a recent survey said they had seen TV ads supporting Donald Trump in the last week.

There’s just one problem: His campaign hasn’t aired any, and his friendly super PACs have run very few.

Meanwhile, 52% of respondents said they had seen an ad promoting Democrat Hillary Clinton—just six percentage points more than the proportion who said they had spotted Trump ads. Mrs. Clinton has aired more than 20,000 TV ad spots since June 8, on top of more than 11,000 aired by her friendly super PAC, (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/07/05/lagging-in-fundraising-donald-trump-has-aired-zero-tv-ads-in-last-month-report/) according to the Center for Public Integrity, which analyzed Kantar Media/CMAG ad data.

The survey, conducted by the digital marketing firm Fluent, illustrates the challenge that Mr. Trump has long posed for his rivals: He may not be running ads, but he is always on TV.

“I have a little TV in my office. If I put it on right now, I have a 75% chance of seeing him,” said Jordan Cohen, the chief marketing officer at Fluent. He attributed survey respondents’ belief that they had watched a Trump ad to Mr. Trump’s ubiquity on TV and social media.

Indeed, Mr. Trump has mastered the art of getting on TV without paying for it. His rallies are frequently carried live by cable networks. He often calls into the networks for interviews. And networks regularly splash his most controversial tweets across the screen for pundits to dissect.

The media-coverage tracker mediaQuant estimated that Mr. Trump has received more than $3.8 billion in such unpaid media exposure in the last year, compared to $1.7 billion for Mrs. Clinton.

So the "journalists" smell the Trash because they are paid to smell him.

In fact, the entire election is nothing a but a multi-$B business, paying consultants, talking heads, PACs, drones, "grass roots" suckers (not paid well if at all), and BigCorp paying media to run ads.

Latest CNN poll has:

1. Clinton - 42%
2. Trump - 37%
3. Johnson - 13%
4. Stein - 5%

One of the big things to look at is Johnson going up to 13%. In order to get to the national debates, Johnson has to get to 15%.

I think Trump will get a boost from the convention this week, but I think Clinton will get a bigger boost from her convention. I think those conventions will take some steam away from Johnson and Stein.

ABC/WashPost Poll: Clinton Losing Ground Among Women


By
Sunday, 17 Jul 2016 10:21 AM

Join in! 5 Comments
Hillary Clinton has a narrow lead of just 4 points over Donald Trump in a new national poll released Sunday.

Clinton is backed by 47 percent of voters nationally in an ABC News/Washington Post poll. Trump is at 43 percent.

But that's a steep drop from a late June version of the same poll. Back then, Clinton held a 12-point lead, 51 to 39 percent.

And while Clinton in June held a 22-percent lead among college-educated white women, pollsters found that demographic is evenly split between the two candidates.

Clinton had a double-digit lead over Trump on handling race relations, an international crisis, immigration and helping the middle class.

Trump has a 15-point edge over Clinton among white voters, while 89 percent of blacks and 74 percent of Hispanics support Clinton.


The ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted July 11-14, has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

I think Johnson is getting the fruit of the labor that was the FBI director scathing takedown of Hillary last week. I think this is as good as it gets for him. She lost quite abit of support from that.

The Bernie endorsement and the convention should give each respective candidates their due boost. That's where the other parties say their goodbyes imo. Unless of course Either of the main two candidates keep fucking up which always is a likely posibility.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

What would it take for Donald Trump to lose his supporters’ votes? When the Jimmy Kimmel show ran a man on the street segment asking that very question, one Trump enthusiast replied, “Nothing. There’s nothing he could do to lose my vote.”

To his ardent supporters, Donald Trump is an exemplar of power and status. Donald Trump is going to make America great again. He’ll put America First. He refuses to be silenced by the thought police. He’s so rich, he can’t be bought. He speaks his mind. He’ll get the job done.

To those who oppose him, he’s a racist, misogynistic, narcissistic buffoon. Repeated lies, racist statements and attacks on women have led many people, including some prominent conservative donors, to conclude that Trump is unfit to be president, yet these missteps don’t seem to bother his supporters much. Trump told a campaign rally in January that, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s incredible.”

Trump’s claim might seem like an exaggeration, played up for drama, but research suggests that once people board the Trump train, there’s little that can prod them to jump off. (You could probably say something similar about Hillary Clinton supporters.) As much as we like to think that we use reason to evaluate evidence and come to conclusions, “It really goes back assward, a lot of times,” said Peter Ditto, a psychologist at University of California, Irvine. “People already have a firm opinion, and that shapes the way they process information.” We hold beliefs about how the world works and tend to force new information to fit within these pre-existing narratives. Psychologists call this motivated reasoning, and it means that once people have thrown their support behind Trump or Clinton, they will tend to downplay or ignore things that paint their candidate in a bad light.

In a study conducted in October,1 researchers presented 507 self-identified Republicans and 986 self-identified Democrats with actual things that Trump had said — some of which were true and some of which were false. The researchers might explain, for instance, that “Trump said that the MMR vaccine causes autism,” or they would simply present the assertion that “The MMR vaccine causes autism.” Then they asked people, “How much do you believe this statement?”

“If we told participants that it was Trump that said the misinformation, Republicans were much more likely to believe it and Democrats were much less likely to believe it,” said Briony Swire2, a Ph.D. candidate in cognitive psychology at the University of Western Australia, who conducted the study with colleagues at MIT and the University of Bristol. On a 10-point scale, Republicans rated the misinformation 4.8 and Democrats 3.2 when it was attributed to Trump. A similar partisan split appeared with the true statements — Republicans were more likely than Democrats to believe factual statements when told that Trump had said them. “People relate to the world with their partisan lens,” Swire said.

Fact-checking Trump didn’t change his supporters minds about him in Swire’s study. After presenting participants with the various statements, the researchers debriefed the volunteers on which of these statements were true and which were false. Even when Trump supporters accepted that some of Trump’s statements were untrue (recognizing that a vaccine doesn’t cause autism, for instance) they did not change their voting preference. In other words, Trump supporters were willing to acknowledge that some of Trump’s statements were lies, but this didn’t alter their enthusiasm for him. “I guess it means that politicians like Trump can spread misinformation without losing support,” Swire said.

Last week I predicted Clinton was going to be up double digits in the polls, well according to the newest CNN poll, she's now up 9% on Cuckald and growing....

Choice for President (Pre-DNC):
Clinton - 45%
Trump 48%

Choice for President (Post-DNC):
Clinton - 52%
Trump - 43%

She is also winning HUGE among the Bernie supporters despite cuckservatives making such a big deal out of a few losers outside the convention and Trump pandering to the frustrated Berniebros out there....

Ticket choice among Bernie supporters (Pre-DNC):
Clinton/Kaine - 78%
Trump/Pence - 12%

Ticket choice among Bernie supporters (Post-DNC):
Clinton/Kaine - 91%
Trump/Pence - 6%

Clinton has also managed to tie Trump at 46% in the deep red state of Georgia :wow

While Trump has remained in the headlines for attacking Gold Star parents, Clinton has been as well after being endorsed by billionaires Mike Bloomberg, Mark Cuban, and Warren Buffett. Buffett has called Trump out and has proposed releasing his tax returns if the Cuckald does it. He also said that he will personally provide transportation so voters can go out and vote for Hillary.

It would be great if Obama denied security briefings to Trash due to his mental instability and campaign-suicidal behaviours.

"Our investigation found ... 110 [emails with then-classified information] that she either received or sent,"-James Comey

"I don't think that our investigation established she was actually particularly sophisticated with respect to classified information and the levels and treatment"-James Comey

"One of the things I learned in this case is that the secretary may not have been as sophisticated as people assumed."-James Comey

"I think she was extremely careless. I think she was negligent."-James Comey

Life-long Republican Comey found nothing to indict her for, then broke protocol, had a huge press conference, and slimed her, instead of keeping silent when there is no indictment.

We are discussing whether or not the candidates are fit to receive security briefings, not an indictment. Hillary has proven she can not properly handle classified information, that isn't even up for debate as Comey repeatedly points out her incompetence in such matters.

And yes, setting up an unsecured private server and receiving classified info is her fault. All clearly laid out in the NDA she signed.
