    They could have picked anyone other than Cruz and Trump and they would have won. Kasich and Rubio would have probably been double digit wins (Hell I'd have voted for Kasich)

    Kasich would have wiped the floor with Hillary, but I reckon she'll do him when he inevitably gets the nomination in 2020, because she'll have four years of presumably fairly steady leadership behind her. It's looking increasingly like nominating Trump might end up being the worst thing that's ever happened to that party.

    It might be the worst thing ever to happen to Mert as well, actually. If Trump loses, Mert either tops himself or can never speak with authority on this board ever again. If Trump wins, Mert is put on several watchlists and ends up in Gitmo when The Donald finds out about that Muslim Society he was in charge of at Duke.

    She'll have died of serious ill health by then and (checks who her running mate is) Kasey Keller will be President.

    As I said on the previous page, it feels very Corbyn with how the party has split from the base. They'll be electing nutters or having a strong third party opposition splitting the vote for years.

    Kasich was dogshit, only made to look slightly better by the buffoons around him. I reckon Hillary, shit as she is, would have defeated any of them with ease.

    This was the sum of his attack on Hilary's climate change plan that she did a thing for yesterday (day before?)



    He then goes on to talk about Nuclear weapons, his microphone (still) and some other nonsense about how everything is rigged. That's the entire thing. He literally hasn't said anything. The mans a moron. Just really now.

    There's a vast body of evidence at this point to demonstrate that he is ill-informed and doesn't care that that's the case. You could presumably manage this if he was prepared to be 'handled' or had an attention span exceeding about five minutes, but no.

    Well, the last few pages or so were certainly entertaining.

    You just know mert's going to adopt the "rigged" narrative after the election that Trump already has. Trump's supporters are as I type circulating the slogan "repeal the 19th" - I wonder about his stance on that!

    Clinton is such an establishment peon, but I'd vote for her in a coma before I'd vote for Trump. As usual, the calculation has got to be that you vote Democrat in a swing state, and for someone better in other states.

    Strong delusion in this thread thinking that the rigged polls right now won't significantly tighten as we get closer to November 8th.

    You don't get to claim any kind of prescience by saying the polls will tighten, given plenty of other people (including me) have been posting that for months.

    Presumably the real story is that Trump isn't having any success putting his vast dealmaking ability to work in unrigging the polls. I mean, sure, it's a cabal of colluding (apparent) competitors engaging in behaviour that will inevitably destroy the credibility of their entire business model in a month or so, but Trump is meant to be some sort of uber-negotiator. Get it done, man.

    Mainstream media is gleefully destroying what's remaining of their credibility to shill for Hillary. That argument doesn't work anymore.

    So "Trump tried to hook up with some girls in the last 40 years and they rejected him?" Lol. I guess trying to hook up with girls now is automatic sexual assault?

    Meanwhile Bill Clinton was regularly fucking 12-13 year olds with Bill Epstein and raping married women while Hillary covered for him.

    Christopher Hitchens basically blamed her for prolonging the Bosnian War (and then obviously lying about her record). God(!), could you imagine the money he (and Johnnie Walker) would have made over the past year hammering both of the candidates?

    "We could have taken action other than bombing and killing hundreds of innocent civilians" apparently means Trump is an ethnic cleansing apologist now?

    The absurd hypocrisy of the Left knows no bounds.

    538 again:

    Proposition No. 5: This probably won’t cost him the election — because Trump was already losing. It’s important to remember that Trump has been running behind Clinton for almost the whole campaign, and he had fallen into roughly a 5-percentage-point deficit after his poor performance in the first presidential debate — and before the latest round of scandals. That deficit is fairly hard to come back from even under the best of circumstances. To make it to the Oval Office now, Trump would have to make one of the greatest comebacks in political history while navigating a minefield of scandals and leaks, making his task even harder. But as far as FiveThirtyEight’s forecasts are concerned, the first debate still looks like the turning point in the race.

    Could technically be the next President, too, if he can win Utah. Would need a tied electoral college and a House Republican split, but it's possible.

    I was playing around with the numbers the other day, and it's actually not that hard to produce an electoral college tie. I think I posted on here.

    Not totally implausible. Requires a big swing towards Trump, but a relatively uniform one geographically.

    Yeah, I believe it goes to a vote in Congress, meaning that the Republicans would have an edge.

    But it'd be fascinating to see how that panned out, given we might have seen the start of Trump's one-man war against his own party.

    The House voting him in and then down-voting him at every opportunity would be interesting. I'm still waiting for his daughters to come forward as abuse victims, too.

    Trump has been having another meltdown on Twitter today over E-MAILS, alongside having a cracking go at both the media and Paul Ryan.

    It's fascinating to watch.
