Betting lines in the UK still have Trump @ +165. I wish I could throw 100 bucks at that.

Apparently the 73% stat comes from Isidewith, which I still think was a weak questionaire but gary johnson says he used that site to come to the conclusion he agrees with Sanders 73% of the time.

That makes 3rd party voters deplorable. Since Hillary said Trump supporters are deplorable and a third party voter is a vote for Trump, that makes anyone who doesn't vote for Hillary deplorable

This is a classic case of - the lesser of two evils.

I would vote for Satan before I would vote for Hillary.

(No, I did not run for president. But I did run for Congress in 2008.)

Kinda seems like wikileaks might have been bought off or something. He had announced a major document dump months ago, which ended up being cancelled. Then went around to various news sources and insisted she could be indicted over it, and that the info was devastating and not covered elsewhere and that it could shift the election. Then announced a new date to release these document which was tonight, and also the 10th anniversary of wikileaks. Instead a bunch of people rambled on for awhile then julian came on and said he would never release such important info at 3am US time. Now he is saying he will release it before the end of the year. So potentially after the election. It was as far back as june he had said he had info to indict hillary.

Whatever the heck he was doing I expect wikileaks just lost alot of respect. Drug people along for months waiting for the documents he claims to have, then cancelled a press conference, announced a new one then didnt release anything as he promised. Really not making sense coming from a group that portrays itself as standing for truth. Why bother even telling people he was about to release whatever he has or pretends to have? I guess he either got bought out or just lied? How could you claim to stand for truth then hold back info that could put someone running for the most powerful office on earth in prison until after she is potentially the president? Very weird either way. The dude has rocks in his head if he thinks he can trust anything related to hillary if he was given a deal to not release the info.

There are two ways to buy someone off. Give them money or death threats. With Clinton's history, you can bet it was the latter.

Why even say you have information. Just release it when you feel the time is right. I never understood when i worked as a grocery manager why the district manager would let stores know well in advance when they were coming. If i was the DM i would just walk in unannounced and really see what was going on. Anytime you show your cards your leverage switches over to the other party

I keep playing with these maps and Trump is hanging by a very thin thread if the polls hold and are right.

Mentally prepare for Hillary. The retarded of California have infected the entire southwest. All of it could go to Hillary. It's all about florida and pennsylvania .
I'll tell you this No matter who gets elected we will have to witness this barf worthy event, Obama will issue a General Pardon to Hillary.

This is a pretty cool map to play with

https://www.cnet.com/news/assange-10-ye ... ks-berlin/

Assange promised new information every week for the next 10 weeks, related to Google, military operations, arms trading and mass surveillance. He also promised that all documents related to the US presidential election would be published before the vote on November 8.


Hmmm maybe wikileaks will come through afterall? I watched the release last night and I didnt catch him saying the hillary related items would be out before the election, but admittedly I had a weak connection that faded out a few times for a minute or two in the middle of it. It was a live feed and my satellite doent usually handle that well.

As for what thogey said about california infecting the SW, the southern border is the bigger issue. Even texas isnt to far from flipping blue if current trends persist another few cycles. I forget the numbers/dates on that but their demographics are shifting pretty fast. If that happens, republicans or libertarians for that matter will not be getting anywhere nationally until their platform has shifted heavily. Free stuff and globalism for all!! Big brother can do your thinking for you!! Lets meet the third world in the middle because it is "fair"!! Most ignore how far glibalism has already brought us down, because not only is quality of life stagnant for decades but we are heavily inflating ourselves in ways that cannot be sustained. We are much closer to meeting the third world in the middle then it appears at first glance.

If even Thogey is having doubts, I think Trump really is screwed. I think the only hope is another Clinton health problem. I was really hoping she would have a coughing episode in the debate, but no luck... maybe next time.

Certainly wouldnt say Trump is screwed. It is only recently that he was polling well enough that he had a chance to win the electoral college based on polling. When you couple with that, the historical consistency for a party that had 8 years as president loosing 2-4 points it is even more promising. Meaning since the democrats just had 8 years with a president history would suggest no matter what polling shows that the difference between polls and a real election would shift 2-4 points towards the republicans. Also no one is even sure if Trump supporters are accurately captured in polling, a considerable portion of them either havent voted before or rarely have.

Some lefty friends I have that also follow polls like I do were laughing at trumps chances all the way up until the last few weeks, since then they are horrified. It seems to be shaping up as I expected myself. Guess we will see in a few weeks. Most of the time I have thought Trump would win, he had no path to victory based on the polling of individual states. He does now though.

If she does have a coughing episode in the next debate, the precedence has been set so she can just blame the microphone.

This microphone thing is weird. If you arent aware, it has been acknowledged by the commission on presidential debates Trumps microphone WAS messed up, those at the debate couldnt hear him most of the time as he had said. Most of the media ignored this and pretended Trump blamed it for "loosing" when he thinks he won.

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't referring to the screwed up podium microphone that fed the PA in the auditorium. I was joking about his blaming his ("imaginary") sniffle on the broadcast lavalier.
