2016 Presidential Election Thread

So thats a no then.

Never take a bet you know you're going to lose.

Ford Prefect disagrees!

Trump and Pence meet with Louisiana flood victims

The last anybody has seen Obama, he was playing golf with Larry David.

Hillary is of course having her face stretched and is in the tail end of her four day rest-up for a short appearance tomorrow. She is easily exhausted.

Obama knows how to avoid a water hazard.

Manafort is out. Guess them Putin ties got embarrassing.

I know your mom's a squirter, but that's not why Obama turned her down.

Yo mama jokes. Exactly the type of intellectual discussion Wordforge's lefty loonies strive for.

Because you complain if we talk over your heads.

Rumor has it that the IT and networking people at Heaven's Gate hacked a video of Hillary squirting, so they cut their balls off and committed suicide.

Ramen was much better as Storm's bitch than as an independent. His new thing, being gturner's bitch, though, is down right pathetic.

How very anti LGBT of you.

Keep your chin up Garamet! Your romantic life will turn around - have you tired match.com?

^No need to go shopping for what I already have at home.

Meanwhile, I'm surprised no one else has posted these (NSFW):

@Liet posted a photo of one a couple of days ago and I think somebody else posted a link to an article before that.

^Oops. Oh, well. I just wanted to ask @Ramen how accurate it was, seeing how close he and The Donald have become.

Hillary's catheter is showing.

Your desperation is palpable.

And entertaining.

And Clinton's projected electoral college lead now EXCEEDS 2 to 1.

The LA Times has her up by about half a point.

And the big trouble for Democrats is that's likely her peak. Trump had three very bad weeks, and the media went above and beyond to slant the race. Hillary should be up by twenty, but she's essentially tied. Now Trump has pivoted. He's in Louisiana while she's AWOL, and the debates are coming up. Those are the events where Trump mops the floor with politicians, and where Hillary couldn't even beat an elderly, bald, Jewish socialist who's never done anything in the Senate except carp. To beat him, Hillary had to rig the primaries.

That's just the callus her knee has developed from repeatedly using it on what Republicans laughably refer to as their testicles.

public officials say "don't come here, the security takes away from the relief effort!"

GWB in 2005 respects this, some liberals lose their mind because criticizing Bush is all
BHO in 2016 respects this, some on the right lose their mind because criticizing Obama is all

Trump says "fuck it" and shows up anyway.

From Sabato's site. If you shift EVERY "leans D" state to the Republican column, Trump still loses.

And yet the LA Times now has Trump leading.

I love the Asian woman "front and center." She's probably awestruck at the massive size "little Donald."

I Googled up your (one)(outlier) poll, which isn't conducted the same way as any other poll, and even in that one, in every sub-set break out the respondents believe overwhelmingly Trump is going to lose.

Meanwhile, sites that look at all polling reliable confirm the race is not currently close, and even Brietbarts poll has Trump losing by, IIRC, 5 points.

And yet people are lying to pollsters. Nobody knows by how much, but one interesting tech firm used a very different, no stress polling method that indicated Trump is going to win in a landslide.

Lots of people are afraid to let anyone know they're supporting Trump.

Was it Muad who claimed that people were lying to pollsters when they said they were going to vote for Obama in '08? I can't remember, but was certainly a theme being pushed by many back then. We see how that turned out.
