Why is Andrew Sullivan saying Trump is going to win?

[madaboutharry]

He is on Hardball and telling Chris Matthews Trump is going to win because racist white people are afraid of brown people.

The polls seem to look good for Hillary, maybe he wants to make sure Hillary voters go to vote.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. Because he's the same overrated "Bell Curve promoting" douchebag he's

always been?





.

[mountain grammy]

41. That sounds reasonable.

[Dem2]

2. Hillary voters really can't be casual about this election

[JHan]

30. No one is being casual ..

Nate has been ridiculous all year.

[napkinz]

3. I just saw that

Andrew Sullivan

[BlueMTexpat]

5. Because Andrew Sullivan

has proven many times over that he is an idiot.

Every so often, he gets something right. But that is usually when the thing has become self-evident.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. This thread is so timely because I was just ranting to my boyfriend about that popinjay.

The good news is that douche bag is wrong about everything.

That said, 538 is giving me agita.

[NastyWomen]

32. Fuck 538

Pollyvote dot com. 538 is playing into the media tight race game. He did this crap leading up to the debates. Voters are not changing their minds to such a degree either way this late

[radius777]

39. Exactly. Princeton's Sam Wang is much better. /nt

[RandySF]

7. He hates the Cllintons.

[joeybee12]

18. +1

[JoePhilly]

23. + 1 ... that is the short answer.

[riversedge]

26. That is true. He has a long history of doing so. Back-stabber when ever he can get

the opportunity. Reminds me of Andrea Mitchell lots of times.

[sarae]

8. I just saw that, too.

He's a conservative. He also said liberals are to blame for what we're going through now because of our long-term dependence on identity politics.

[Barack_America]

11. For attention.

[Skittles]

14. so Trump supporters will feel justified in feeling the election was stolen

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. I don't care what he says. He skeeves me out.

A gay man who hates liberals--there's something fishy there.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. One word: Racism

[radius777]

40. disagree. Sullivan is strongly anti-racism/anti-fascism,

that is what his fear about Trump is, that there are so many racists/sexists in this country that they will sweep Trump to victory.

Of course, this is not likely, as long as the Obama coalition turns out (which is very likely), H should win easily.

Sullivan, imo, is simply trying to get people not to take anything for granted, basically GOTV.

[Hoyt]

16. Well he is right about white wingers fear/hatred of "brown people." Whether there are enough of

the Deplorables to elect Trump is still in question.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. It's sort of bizarre for DU to condemn him for saying what we say every day right here

He's being honest about the reasons, unlike Tweety who claims it's "salt of the earth people worried about their jobs".

[brush]

24. Fuck those self-segregating haters. Black and brown people are the ones who need to be scared . . .

of them, what with their guns and willingness to shoot unarmed black and brown people.

[geek tragedy]

27. He has a meltdown every 4 years about this time. Like clockwork.

He was convinced Obama was going to lose after the first debate in 2012. Convinced.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. That's why I call him Wrong Way Andy.

[DLCWIdem]

43. So he is panicking just like everybody else

[geek tragedy]

44. He dials it up to 11 nt

[Coyotl]

28. Because he learned to read a teleprompter? ROFLMAO.

Wee, sort of. He can't read very well ....

[duffyduff]

29. He always was a dumb shit. Overrated, just like Maureen Dowd. n/t

[Rex]

31. Because he has hated the Clinton family longer than Chelsea has been alive.

I have no idea what his vendetta is against them, someone here can tell you no doubt.

[October]

33. Bill Maher calls him out on his Hillary hating all the time

Sullivan loves the sound of his own voice.

[Starry Messenger]

36. He's not very smart.

[BigDemVoter]

37. Because he's a self-loathing gay man who also happens

to be a motherfucking idiot? Might that be the reason?

[wiggs]

38. Because he pays attention to history and knows what can happen if it's close enough for ONE state to

'find' a bunch of ballots...or purge 20,000 minorities from the voter rolls....or forget to put enough voting machines in urban areas....or get a ruling against a recount....or leave counting machines open to the internet for anyone to hack in....

How many of the close states have a gop led governor's mansion and legislature? How many of the close states have secretaries of state that are also the state Trump campaign chairman (like happened for Bush in Ohio)?

Kathy Davis took matters into her own hands. Had a duty, a calling.

The NY office of the FBI appears to have put their thumb on the scale.

North Carolina legislatures crafted 'insane' policies meant to disenfranchise minority voters.

We all KNOW that Ken Blackwell did it in Ohio and Katherine Harris did it in Florida.

It has to be a landslide to avoid someone taking matters into their own hands. There are a lot of people out there, both well known politicians and nobodies working in a dark office, who think they have a duty and a calling. If it comes down to one state or one county....

[UTUSN]

42. R#1 for, can you (or I) X-post this to GD?
