I get sick of some of the TV pundits saying the country is split 50-50

1. It has always been a 3 way split since the beginning...

I've read where roughly 1/3 of the people in the Colonies supported the Revolution, 1/3 were loyal to the Crown, and 1/3 didn't want to be bothered.

Not much has changed on that score in nearly 250 years.

12. I think that's fairly close to accurate, though there are definitely more Dems than Republicans.

But we're also more heavily concentrated (around urban centers especially).

Sadly, the non-voters (including people who don't even know there's an election this November) constitute a plurality.

8. I've just heard a few guests on MSNBC say that-

Nicole Wallace was railing about it last week. Peter Baker repeatedly says that 90% of the Republicans support Trump without mentioning that the Republican base is shrinking. It just seems misleading.

There are lot more of us, but we lack the voting discipline of the other side.
