going. We ave majoring call banking and canvassing going on into all the swing states. The opposition has no such organization, and that will be one of the reasons for the repuke demise.

It isn't those with the loudest voices, or spewing the most bullshit, but those behind the scenes that are GOTV that will win the election

This is the same strategy used during the primaries, and Hillary's ground game, and early GOTV is what made it successful

I don't like it at all. All of a sudden it doesn't matter that Trump is a racist, a misogynist, a psychopath, a pathological liar, a sexual predator and a complete and utter know nothing with zero experience and the temperament of a child.

What happens after another week of this?

We may very well have been done in by leap year.

Clinton wins. At this point I can deal with a GOP house and Senate blocking everything for 2 years. Trump scares me.

I have no idea what the numbers will be, but I'm confident Hillary will win. I'd love it to be a landslide, but I'd trade a landslide (but a win) for taking the Senate.

among women, LGBT Americans, non-Christians, and non-Whites, and to experience a higher share of sane-ish R's casting ballots for her or sitting out compared to Pres. Obama in 2012.
