    Journalists for Fox are the only journalists that wouldn't be let in on Hillary's election rigging.

    Meanwhile, a Democrat strategist resigned after he was caught on tape explaining how the Clinton campaign pays the DNC to pay sub-groups to pay homeless people and others to violently disrupt Trump rallies. They also bragged that they were behind the violent riots in Chicago that shut down a Trump rally. Under US law, that's punishable by very long stays in federal prison, and by death if people are killed or maimed as a result. It's referred to as a conspiracy to deny people civil rights, and the right to peacefully attend a political rally is a guaranteed civil right.

    Democrat strategist steps down

    Even her close aides and advisers don't know what she is or if she's all there. As one leaked e-mail put it, it's like she has no core at all. There's just nothing there but political calculation.

    The Russians are confident that if Hillary wins, we will have global nuclear war in very short order.

    You're fucking kidding, right? Have you ever been to Atlanta? Lawrenceville is a suburb of Atlanta - maybe you've heard of it - a little metropolitan area of about 5,000,000 folks where a HUGE percentage of the residents are black, gay, hispanic, etc. especially in Atlanta itself? Yeah, that's what she'd doing in Georgia.

    Clinton actually has a shot at winning Georgia. Not a GREAT shot -- FiveThirtyEight has her odds at about 32% -- but now that she's favored to win basically ALL of the usual swing states, she can take a shot at some red ones too, and Georgia looks like the second-most likely after Arizona.

    Georgia is pretty polarized - not many "on the fence" voters generally. Georgia very much votes along racial lines. That progressive hip white teacher in a nice picket-fence suburb of Augusta might talk a good game, but when they are in that voting booth all bets are off. Hillary has the overwhelming majority of the blacks by default because she is a democrat - they will grudgingly hold their nose and vote democrat. She'll get some white liberals but not as many as Obama got, because she just doesn't drum up any enthusiasm among people who don't feel that they can only be served by a democrat (like gays, blacks, mexicans, muslims, etc). Let's be realistic - if you are a white conservative Hillary has no appeal - nothing positive can ever come from voting for her, and she's just not a good person. I think Trump can only pull this off if he can motivate the old white crowd to vote. And guess what demographic always gets off their asses and votes? Yep, old white conservatives, so he has an advantage there. The thing is, do people hate Trump enough to vote against him? Or will they sit it out thinking Hillary has it in the bag, so why sweat it? I actually think Trump has enough people excited and motivated - Republicans who didn't care and sat it out last time because they were disgusted at voting for wash-rags again might just get out and vote. Upsets do happen from time-to-time. And having a democrat elected immediately after two consecutive terms of a democratic president is rare. Advantage for Trump there. If you are a UFC fan, you know 2016 is the year of the upset. Maybe that luck will carry over into the political arena - wouldn't that be wild?

    I read posts like this in Cartman's crying voice.

    "All we did was hate Messicans and homos and Hillary called us a naaaaame! :sob:".

    If we didn't want foreigners interfering in our election, we'd put Hillary in jail for accepting foreign contributions.

    Y'know, I think Trump is awful, and I don't like the guy, and the thought of him in power gives me the fucking willies, but I don't grind my teeth and clench my knuckles whispering "fuuuuuckiiiin Truuuump :ualbert:", every damned minute of every damned day.

    But I bet gturner does for Hillary.
    Doncha, buddy?
    I bet you wake up from a sweat and pee soaked nightmare every morning screaming her name.
    She's set up a permanent office in your head.
    Congrats.
    I hope brain-Hillary becomes a baby sized tumor that makes you see blue, and smell oranges.
    It'd serve your paranoia right.

    What a bunch of idiots. You cannot divide America by building a wall on the border. Mexico is not part of the US.

    That's because Hillary is the most evil and corrupt human being in history. There were perhaps Neanderthals or Denisovans who were worse, but they left no records because they apparently also wiped their e-mail servers.

    I bet your cock is rock hard right now. Your fist is madly pumping your dick as you think about giving Hillary the ol' Vienna sausage. You say you hate her, but deep down, you want to fuck her like a meth-smoking mega church pastor nailing a gay prostitute or an Iowa Republican Senator doing a total stranger in an airport bathroom. You hate yourself for it, but it feels so dirty good when you fantasize about doing her, and hearing her screaming your name, "Yes, George! I'm the alien lizard queen! Give it to me! Give it to me so hard or I'll invade the Earth and enslave you all! Oh, god, George! Do me! I wish you had two cocks like Bill does so you could give it to me in the pussy and the ass at the same time!"

    That's up to him. As governor we go and fight where he tells us. If we refuse we have to pay a big fine.

    Big Hamas supporter, hates Israel, for which the right wing echo chamber attacked him for years trying to tie his views to Obama.

    So, there's that.

    Again, we're all shocked-shocked to learn that political parties (both of them) engage in slimy tactics.

    That said, if a Dem protester goes to a rally and trolls the Trumpets until they get punched or kicked or whatever - do you know how you overcome that tactic?

    Don't punch anyone. If you are not a violent asshole, you can't be baited into punching someone because they are yelling something you don't like. Whatever the tactics are, you're still a violent asshole.

    Don't think SHE was there, just surrogates. But she's really trying to expand her map if she thinks she can flip Georgia. I think it would be funny as hell if she did but that's aggressive.

    I'd like to see - and think it is possible - for her to flip AZ, GA, and Missouri. Trump, if we are to beat back the deplorables, needs to not just lose but be crushed. He needs to threaten the record for lowest vote percentage, while she hit's 50% and crushes him in the EC

    ETA - and McMullen (or Johnson but that seems unlikely) win Utah
