1. Any "rise" in TrumpleThinSkin's political fortune at this point. . .

is simply a "dead cat bounce"
(from the Wall Street expression that "even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height&quot

Stay the course, GOTV, and we will bring it all home for Hillary come next Tuesday.

[Coyotl]

2. Trump is so lonely out there, zero big name surrogates. dKos election forecast is 326-212:

Clinton has a President, a vice-President, Sen. Warren, Sen. Sanders, ..... Trump has one person, his wife, ironically an immigrant.

forecast Hillary Clinton 323 Trump 215 Electoral Votes

Hopefully, turnout will turn OH blue too. Latinos may make the difference in Texas. They are already turning Fl, AZ and NV blue.

3. A big pile of shit is still a big pile of shit

[gratuitous]

4. Yeah, get a grip

If someone is really, truly worried about the outcome on Nov. 8, may I suggest you sign up to do some neighborhood canvassing or phone banking?

[dalton99]

5. ^ This.

[MADem]

6. Is he managing to button his trousers? nt

[BumRushDaShow]

10. He'd have to because

the zipper is most likely permanently broken!

[Democrats Ascendant]

7. Lol!

No one. One game better with Philly suburban moms like a European super model...

[Scarsdale]

14. Supermodel?

Never heard of her before tRump bought her the fake boobs and called in his friends to put her on covers of magazines. Tried to clean up her resume, after she was an escort.

[ham_actor]

8. Yes but . . .

Clinton's still way ahead in West Bumfuck,

[calimary]

27. Welcome to DU, ham_actor!

At this point my head is hurting. One of my friends is so distraught about this that she's completely turned off. Watching the World Series and whatever channel reruns multiple "Law & Order" episodes for all the binge-watchers out there.

[apcalc]

9. This made me laugh-thanks Stinky!

[Rorey]

11. The Racist Republicans nominate a man...

....who is the son of a member of the KKK. The media ignores it.
The Republican nominee has been thrice married, twice divorced. The media ignores it.
The wife of the Republican nominee is the daughter of a communist. The media ignores it.
The Republican nominee has THREATENED the women he sexually assaulted for talking. The media ignores it.
The Republican nominee has a court date in December for his RAPE of a 13 YEAR OLD girl. The media ignores it.

And the idiot Trump supporters say that the media is biased in favor of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[rumdude]

12. As East Bumfuck goes....

[vi5]

15. This place....

...is starting to get dangerously close to "unskewed polls" territory.

I'm not saying the sky is falling but a look at the big picture must give us cause for worry. It won't do just to eke out a narrow victory to elect President Clinton. We need a full court press, and to take back the Senate and pick up house seats. And the big picture on that whole situation is not looking as good as it was.

And I've seen a lot of comparison to what the polls were in 2012 and what the results ended up being, which I think is not an accurate picture. Trump for better or worse (spoiler alert: it's worse) energizes people in a way that Mittens didn't. And Obama had no scandals hanging over head, either real or manufactured (spoiler alert: Hillary's are manufactured) hanging over his head to give pause.

Take nothing for granted and don't dismiss any polls.

[Fast Walker 52]

18. AYFKM? Trump also turns off people in a way that Romney never did. That's a big factor.

Also, the media always plays up the national poll numbers which are meaningless.

The media also ignores -- always has-- the real enthusiasm many people feel for voting for Hillary.

[duffyduff]

22. You have no understanding of the major factors in this election.

This election is an anomaly. I keep reading over and over and over again about how the electorate is "divided" based on previous elections. But this is NOT like other elections.

There are a couple of major factors at play which is why I think Clinton will win comfortably and should be way more but for the stupid media: Donald Trump is mentally unfit for the job, he has absolutely NO governmental or high-ranking military experience (the ONLY time in American history a major party candidate has had no such prior experence--Trump is basically a third-party candidate running on a major party ticket), and the fact that Hillary Clinton is the first woman in American history to head a major party ticket.

People blathered on and on and on about how "historic" Obama's candidacy was, and it was, but it simply is not as absolutely significant--a WATERSHED in American history--as the first woman president. It doesn't even come close to it.

You are going to have crossover voting by GOP women that would not have occurred if Dems had run a man on the top of the ticket.

People make the mistake of assuming the GOP will vote strictly party this time. This is not the case.

[vi5]

24. I agree with most of this and hope you are right...

I disagree completely that the first AA president is any less of a watershed moment or as significant as a woman president. It is equal to, if not more crucial since Americans are as racist as they are sexist.

But other than that I hope you are right. I really do.

[duffyduff]

26. It is less. Obama is still a man.

Half of the human race and the majority of the electorate is far more a bigger deal.

You underestimate the significance of sexism in our society and just how absolutely monumental electing the first woman president is.

Women got the right to vote less than a century ago. Not to mention men could rape them in marriage until a couple of decades ago, women couldn't get credit in their own name until the 1970s, they still have no paid maternity leave, women still suffer major discrimination and poverty in the workplace and find they still have to be married in order to survive, and so on down the line.

And, don't forget, women make up at least half of the racial minorities in all societies.

[rury]

34. People who realized how historic

President Obama's election was were hardly "blathering."
It was and is highly significant that a black man ascended to the presidency in a majority white country with a sordid history of slavery, Jim Crow segregation/inequality and legal lynching of black citizens.
Yes, Hillary Clinton will likely become the first female president. But she is also the wife of a former white male president who has largely ridden his coattails to her position of prominence. She almost certainly would not have been able to easily win a U.S. Senate seat in New York where she had not previously lived had she not just been First Lady for eight years and had the tremendous advantage of name recognition.
Barack Obama had no such familial connection to boost him.
There is no doubt whose candidacy and election was more historically significant.
None. No comparison between the two.
It is beyond insulting to say that recognizing and stating that fact is "blathering."

[Fast Walker 52]

16. it pisses me off when I hear the news on the radio, and they treat that racist sexist lying

motherfucker like any other candidate.

[sarcasmo]

17. CNN makes a Billion dollars, HRC becomes #45.

[Fast Walker 52]

19. Princeton election consortium now has Hillary at a 100% chance by Bayesian prediction

[Towlie]

21. fivethirtyeight.com: Clinton 66.7%, Trump 33.2%

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

I sincerely hope your sarcasm is justified, but...

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Yeah. About 538.

It has had a lot of statistical noise this cycle and they're not equipped to filter it as well as they might. I don't think their model works nearly as well in what is obviously an anomalous election cycle.

[Oldem]

25. I think Sarcasmo has it right. Races always get closer

the closer we get to election day. And the M$M can be relied on to capitalize and drive us all nuts to sell more Mesothelioma ads. I just switched to the MLB channel.

[graegoyle]

30. The only gap he needs to close...

...is the one his lips make.

[IronLionZion]

31. This stupid election needs to be over

and we need to win big. win the senate, and as many house and state races as possible.

[llmart]

32. Agreed!!!

Hillary needs to win big so that the mouthbreathers that are trump's sidekicks can see that they are irrelevant.

[FSogol]

33. He's closing the Gap? What about Old Navy and the Baby Gap?
