US Gen. Election Thread V: The Hunt for Red October Surprise

[Soldati Senza Confini]

538's polls plus now has Hillary over 80% to win which is a new high.

I think it was that high after the Convention boost.

Didn't Trump fire a woman for locker room talk?

Highest previous I could find was 79.5.

Don't you know that the Republican party and the Democratic party are the same according to Trump Republicans?

A new T-Party coming, you think?

It's mostly the Republicans finally realizing that their party never cared about them in the first place.

Polls-plus barely got over 75%. Meanwhile, polls-only was about 10% higher and even more -- Corrian kept waiting for it to hit 90%. Hopefully we'll get there soon.

I really think that polls-plus is the better model, especially the further back you go (and polls are less meaningful). You might just have to adjust the popular vote prediction 1% in favour of clinton. But polls-only way too bouncy. Now matters less so close to election.

For talking in the locker room when she should have been waiting for orders, more like.

Donald Trump in 2010: “This is my boardroom. It's not a locker room. Maria, you’re fired.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That was five years after the Access Hollywood tape. Obviously he had reformed and was now outraged by that young woman's disgusting talk. *nod*

Exactly... well except the part where he is today justifying himself by saying it is just locker-room talk.

Noted Christian Ben Carson says the problem is there's not more graphic sex talk

“As I was growing up, people were always trying to talk about their sexual conquests, and trying to make themselves appear, you know, like the don, you know, Casanova,” Carson said, answering a question from anchor Brianna Keilar about where he had heard similar discussions in the past. “I'm surprised you haven't heard that. I really am.”

“I haven't heard it and I know a lot of people who have not heard it,” Keilar responded. “And I think they were shocked.”

“Well, maybe that's the problem. Maybe that’s the problem,” Carson said. “You know, people have not heard this.”

I feel like I have slipped into an alternate universe.

Do you remember say a year ago when the stereotype was liberals were the ones with loose morals who didn't mind sex talk?

Man those were fun times. Now we have a self professed conservative born again Christian type saying it's a pity there's not more sexual bragging in society.

[Blakk Metal]

No.

In fact, he's made comments that could be interpreted as supporting their use in a first strike.

So? What exactly is your problem with that? Tactical nuclear weapons (so small stuff, not Nagasaki scale) are a valid option in warfare.

Tactical nukes are typically 'Nagasaki scale'.

His next statement though:

“Maybe that's the problem,” Carson repeated. “I would welcome, quite frankly, a discussion of morality in this country. I think it would be a wonderful thing if we'd bring back our Judeo-Christian values once again. I think it could do nothing but help us. I would be all in favor of that.”

So, Christian morality involves talking about how we men would love to grab women's pussies and women just taking it? What?

They're afraid of the government telling them what to think, how to worship, telling them to bake cakes and take pictures of gay people getting married. Trump's campaign has always been about fear, from the opening salvo to now.

Evangelicals also like to grab women by the pussy?

Because in their view the Supreme Court might get a anti-abortion justice from him or something. That and of course they believe the hype of his immigration and economic "Polices".

Ben Carson seems to imply they like to talk it. Praise Jesus and man but doesn't Mary have a fine rack?

Clinton has proposed doubling the child tax credit for kids up to and including 4 years of age to $2,000 per child.

This seems like a good thing to me, but can someone give a description on just what a tax credit, in general, is?

she is also making it refundable so that you can get your tax credit money even if you didn't pay that much in taxes. good for poor people.

I'll admit, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about tax policy and the money side of governance. Why is that good for poor people?
