      Your laziness is expected. Actually take the time to read the site.

      It depends on the poll. A recent CNN poll showed Hillary was only 4% behind when it comes to men, and that is mentioned on the 538 source (that's near the margin of error). Ipsos/Reuters actually gave Hillary the lead with men. That's also in my source.

      Can anyone say "tablet know-it-all warrior?". Hmm.

        There's a "why people support Trump" article on Cracked right now. Can't be arsed to dig it back up and link, but it makes one very salient point: if you've ever been through an American town after its primary industry has died (ie the factory got outsourced) . . . well, basically, the town is dead too. I've driven through a number of those towns. Pawn shop, pawn shop, check cashing place, boarded up shopping center, space for rent, check cashing place, space for rent, really seedy drinking establishment, boarded up house, ooh look that gas station's still open, pawn shop . . . it's incredibly depressing. But people only object to it because they hate Mexicans and are too lazy to go to community college. Man, **** those racists.

        • Seems like more like how 35% of America lost it's mind... perhaps 40%. BTW, as far as that article... the problem with posting maps like the state of Illinois... well... yes, a lot of the state is red. But most of the population lives in blue (democrat areas). Same thing with California. Large sections of the state are republican, but have very few people. Big population areas where most of the people live are generally democrat.

          Ship is sinking.



          Now he's threatening to sue the New York Times for the article. They say he went into a rage. This could backfire big time on him.

          This has exploded into a sh*tstorm.

          As I said, don't mess with the Clintons.

            Article clearly says this, about both the state and the country as a whole.

            • It's not like he's advocating jailing bishops.
              Uh, yeah. He is. How would you go about banning Catholicism? I mean seriously. He's totally stepped in it. If he's trying to get Catholics who otherwise hate Trump to go Trump, it would be hard to find a better way than that.

              • Another right wing populist grouping that faded into obscurity.
                LOL I actually agree with the vote splitting, but the Tea party 'faded to obscurity'? LOL.

                • Ignoring the cultist...

                  I can't wait to see what else comes out about Trump. I remember the lyrics from a certain Stones song... "Don't play with me because you are playing with fire". His brand is ruined. I think Hillary knew all along that she could sink him easily. She just didn't want him to drop out of the election, in order to inflict maximum damage on the GOP. Now that it is closer to the election, timing is everything.

                    i posted the poll from the same site you did that clear shows trump is in the lead with men, though obviously by a smaller margin than hillary is with women. you're welcome, by the way.

                    4% (even if it's true, a brief google search didn't reveal any polls that said that) is still behind. your fanboism is showing once again.

                      despite all the pictures and pop culture references i didn't get, i enjoyed the article. the economic insecurity is at the heart of it. i've seen the UK versions of places like that. as you say, they're really depressing. even 30 years on, the scars haven't healed.

                      hillary offers me of the same for those people, i.e. nothing, so of course they go for the alternative.

                        • I read one of the "I was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump" bits coming out now. It was kind of sad, but my most powerful reaction was, "huh, it's weird to think that Melania's still with him." Ten-plus years is a lot for a man that scuzzy and squirrel-brained. Does it say more about her allure, or her ability to put up with his ****? Should we feel bad for her? Does she have Stockholm Syndrome? Or what?

                          And are people really, sincerely shocked to learn that this casino magnate and beauty-pageant peddler, who has been shown to be immoral in virtually every other respect, is immoral in this one as well?

                          • i read a bit of it. it looks like nonsense to be honest. there's no evidence, and the two journalists involved were caught out lying about a similar story in may.

                            trump is certainly a sleazy individual, but these stories don't pass the smell test.

                            • I long for the days when a POTUS election was all about issues being debated and policies being proposed.

                              This election has devolved into a dogpiling exercise not unlike the old OTF.

                              • That's because there are no policies to discuss.

                                Trump, I have no policies except throw the ***** in jail.
