Clinton landslide. Georgia goes blue. Texas gets close (turning blue soon, maybe 2024).

It will be interesting how Pennsylvania votes in the elections ... after all, Trump already has announced that he will call it cheating if Clinton also wins this state

Most likely. They seem to be holding steady at 8-9%. Did Ross Perot get help like that in 1996? I don't recall.Originally posted by giblets View Post
The Greens have shattered mainly because of Trump. They are back down to 2-3% nationally in recent polling.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Answering an earlier question - At this point, if Trump or Clinton are forced to withdraw, their VP nominee would become the presidential nominee and a new VP nominee would be chosen.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

They would go through the process internally of vetting a new one. The VP nominee might be an option, but isn't automatically given the spot if the Presidential nominee were to withdraw.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky View PostFor there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Originally posted by Sava View PostWhat worries me is firstly how much of the vote will be a result of evangelicals and sane Repubs not voting for Trump because he doesn't represent them. Those guys will probably still vote downticket GOP. Secondly and more importantly, if the GOP get genuinely curbstomped in November, then it might finally force them to have the long inevitable civil war and then rebuild properly. Although that could result in a more moderate GOP (finally) it would also mean a much stronger right leaning opponent in future. That's good for democracy, but might not be great if you're a liberal.Originally posted by Sava View Postalso, this is the death of the gop... the one i've been predicting

It's not clear to me what the result of a fight would be. The tents could change... it could go back to being loose tents like it was 50 years ago.... if the Democrats could combust at a similar time scale, maybe it could become a true multiparty system (centre left, left, greens, libertarian, business right, religious right, far right)....
JM
(I Think that currently the vote for those would be (respectively) 30, 12, 10, 12, 8, 10, 18... not sure what coalitions would occur... )
(The moderate Christians would primarily be in the centre left and business right, the conservative Christians would primarily be in the religious right and far right (and about half the libertarian), the secularists/liberal Christians would be primarily in the left and greens (and the other half of the libertarians). What are currently considered minorities would be primarily in the centre left. The far right and libertarian parties would be the parties that would be the most 'white'. The centre left and business right would be the primary 'hawkish' groups. Left, greens and libertarians would be the primary 'dovish' groups.)Last edited by Jon Miller; August 20, 2016, 21:35.Jon Miller-

Trump mnscores another own goal
He attacked Hillary with a tweet, stating that he finds it unbelievable that she doesn't know that C stands for classified.
Well, unfortunately Trump has it wrong, as the C stands for "Confidential" ... proving that Trump also doesn't know what the C stands for
And not only this ...
some people posting replies to his tweet remember Trumps past shady dealings with the letter C:
In the 70s, when Trump owned an estate agency, coloured people who were looking for a new home got their records marked with a "C". As anonymous tests showed, the C meant, that the estate agent should deny them any offers (as caloured test clinets didn't get any offers, whereas white test clients, appearing at the same agent immedately after the coloured ones (and searching for the same type of appartment) would get multiple offers)
The case went to court and Trump, funny enough (and unsuccessfully) testified that he didn't know what the letter C stands for
Guess the whole affair will cost him another part of his black voters (if there are any remaining, that is
)
I definitely wouldn't want to be campaign manager for Trumps election campaign

the washington post has done a presidential poll in all 50 states; the first since 1988, apparently. it will be interesting to see what it says."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
