Because apparently the Trump campaign hasn't made absolutely, positively certain to send as many large voting blocks fleeing from the GOP as possible yet.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Trump abandons subtlety and sanity, claims Hillary winning will lead to ISIS taking over the USA... somehow.

I don't know whether to get angry, sigh in frustration or just laugh openly at how desperate he is getting.

Margins of error. Embrace them, love them, have children with them if you can.

Just don't grab them without consent. And for God's sake, don't abuse the dears.

Because he's not that evil, evil Democrat running who happens to have lady bits instead of a penis. We still have a month to go for Trump to embarrass the conservative movement, I'm sure we are only just beginning to plumb the depths of Trump's delusional madness.

So they're now playing the "Vote Trump for Male Supremacy" card? Shouldn't surprise me, really.

Florida's voter registration deadline was extended until October 18 by order of U.S. District Judge Mark Walker on account of Hurricane Matthew after Rick Scott, the governor of the state, said he wouldn't do so.

“These voters have already had their lives (and, quite possibly, their homes) turned up-side down by Hurricane Matthew,” the judge wrote. “They deserve a break, especially one that is mandated by the United States Constitution.”
