I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BOTTOM IS • US presidential elections part VIII

this is why i trust the average opinion of people betting money more than i trust pundits, including nate silver.

even though folks have been quick to point out Johnson's support has maintained longer than most 3rd parties, I have to think him and Stein are going to drop off significantly (or at least, one of them will). Johnson's current numbers are basically Perot 1996 (which is where their similarities end), and Stein's 3%, small as it seems, is actually a larger share than any third party candidate has received since Perot in 96 (not even Nader in 2000 could top 3%).

I can't see both of them clearing 3%. I'm not even sold that Gary's gonna hit the 5% federal funding level.

xpost yep lol

Either way it's infuriating how hard the media has been in the tank for Trump - he treats them like dogs and grouches about them at every stop even though they are quite frankly the only thing keeping him afloat at all in this election. Sometimes there really aren't two equally valid sides to every story and it's insane that after everything Clinton is the one with the reputation of being "corrupt". We have one politician who sometimes stretches the truth and another who outright makes things up and the media pushes this 'well they've both been dishonest' narrative. If she loses I'm pinning it directly on them.

I'm pinning it on Iago

so Hillary has brain damaged and is also stricken with lung cancer and tuberculosis fyi

I heard she's just a head and half a torso floating in a tank at this point.

And the tank is only half full

"The panel burst out laughing. Pierson tried to stay composed and brave her way through the rest of the segment, but it was like watching a kitten try to crawl out of a wood-chipper. Within moments, Pierson's tortured Orwellian construction was rocketing around the Internet, among other things inspiring thousands of Twitter jokes.
Famed swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen, for instance, acidly tweeted, "Not many of us could wake up and do what @KatrinaPierson does every day with a straight face. What an inspiration."
In a perfect mini set piece of the Trump campaign, Pierson retweeted this sarcastic tribute, thinking it a compliment. Even Trump's media expert is in a slump."

this hat is very good

"Argument one: If your life sucks already, and as a white billionaire I can only assume it does, why not try something new? "To those suffering, I say, vote for Donald Trump and I will fix it," he says. "What do you have to lose?"
Argument two is the stunner, a breathtaking attempt to pull all the irreconcilable rhetorical threads of his campaign together. "There is another civil-rights issue we need to talk about, and that's the issue of immigration enforcement," he says. "Every time an African­-American citizen ... loses their job to an illegal immigrant, the rights of that American citizen have been violated."
Yes, let's build a wall, but let's do it to help African-Americans! It's alt-right meets civil rights! The best crossover hit since "Walk This Way"!
There's muted applause, but also lots of glazed eyes staring up at the stage, not knowing how to respond. Still, after the speech, a local real estate developer named Don Whitham gives Trump's African-American outreach the thumb's-up. "The Republicans took them out of slavery. And we're trying to do it again," he says. "We're trying to take 'em out of enserfment."
He adds, voice breaking with emotion, "They're just being used by the damn politicians, that's all it amounts to!""

i...kinda want that hat

that is one typical ilxor looking guy

hrc campaign should just sell the giuliani MAKE MEXICO GREAT AGAIN ALSO hat

Hoping these polls today will jar Clinton's side out its stupor the past couple of weeks.

header on wapo website says mexico's finance minister, who apparently played a "key role" in trump's visit, is stepping down.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is delaying its initial advertising in Florida's U.S. Senate race in order to further fortify its resources closer to Election Day, a DSCC official told the Herald/Times.

The DSCC on Tuesday cancelled its ad buy planned for Sept. 20-26 -- what was to be the committee's first foray into Florida's general election between Democrat Patrick Murphy and Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio.

thanks debbie

Florida Senator, the job nobody wants

Dallas Morning News makes their first Democratic presidential endorsement since FDR: http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/20160907-we-recommend-hillary-clinton-for-president.ece

Those are real shortcomings. But they pale in comparison to the litany of evils some opponents accuse her of. Treason? Murder? Her being cleared of crimes by investigation after investigation has no effect on these political hyenas; they refuse to see anything but conspiracies and cover-ups.

word

well she is literally the devil and hates America. Her only goal is to become president so she can destroy the county and hand it over to immigrants. she is lucky Barack Hussein Obama didn't get to accomplish his goal of handing the country over to muslims and sharia law, but there is still time.

like i said there is still time. today he appointed a MOOSLIM JUDGE !!!!!!! ITS STARTING!!

Get ready for life under shirayo law, people.

I get worried when this thread is relatively quiet because it means there isn't any active Trump self-sabotage happening.

Shakira law is coming, people. You have been warned.

sharoi basketshoes law

Hillary's Parkinson's rumors are snowballing, it's outside of the Drudge/Infowars realm... I know a lot of totally conspiracy averse liberals bring this up lately and they're legitimately concerned that a) she won't be able to finish the campaign, or b) she won't be well enough to be President...

Personally I haven't seen anything that convincing yet, but what do y'all think? Total horseshit or no?

such obvious horseshit it's shocking anyone would think otherwise

like their entire case is based on seasonal allergies? wtf?

@mtaibbi
This piece is about how Trump's stump act has changed. I've watched him all year. He's never looked more miserable.

it's not that, I actually watched this video (which sounds like it was recorded with a tin can), and it mostly points to examples of HRC "freezing" or having tremors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1IDQ2V1eM

Whether or not it has any merit, the thing is starting to escalate in the media and she may have to address it further, Trump couldn't be happier...

The last thing she should do is address the conspiracy theories of dumbfucks.

My mom was concerned for her health back in the spring. She sounded hoarse and coughed even back then. Also: Hillary is old. It's quite legitimate to worry that she might not be able to fix everything at 76, and will leave too much for Kamala Harris to repair. However, Trump is even older, and he's only released a fraudulent health certificate from an obvious quack.

videos like that always scream legitimacy to me xxp

lol it's transparent garbage. like last-chance-desperation obvious garbage.

in the future all medical diagnoses will be made via youtube videos

"It's quite legitimate to worry that she might not be able to fix everything at 76, and will leave too much for Kamala Harris to repair."

what does Harris have to do with this?

I assume that was just a joke about how Harris is gonna be president one day (entirely possible imo)

she uses pillows when she sits guys. FUCKIN PILLOWS.

I finally know where the bottom is (on a FUCKIN PILLOW).

currently watching my father struggle though parkinson's and it looks nothing like that at all in his case.

As I said upthread, every conceivable argument that can be made for voting against a candidate will be made, regardless of how scurrilous, brainless or trivial it might be. As a campaign, you just make sure it is floated by your surrogates, so your own fingerprints aren't on it. The republicans would like to (covertly) thank vidzette.com for taking on this task of butchering Hillary with a blunt-edged cleaver.

We still haven't heard anything definitive about Hillary not actually being a lifelike robotic suit containing two small children, have we?

someone is feverishly photoshopping Hillary pics rn trying to find a way to make that story plausible to the 136 Ohio voters who might swallow it

IS THE MEDIA HIDING THIS VIDEO THAT SHOWS HILLARY SHORT CIRCUITING LIKE A ROBOT?

Oh, fuck it.

It's inconceivable to me that anyone could take the video that still (the vidzette one) is from seriously - I know from other facets of the alt right that determining humour is not high on these guys' skillsets, but show the video to your aunt, let her tell you what's up.
