(24,701 posts)and the voters should really look at what these "local" politicians have been doing and saying, they also can't have it both ways, and the voters should go up to these people before they go into vote and ask them the "republican platform" or the Democratic platform.
A lot of them back the two guys" and what Ryan and McConnell want to do, because they have and are doing it at the local level,
Couldn't agree more

Another unsightly number for Trump came from a Y2 Analytics poll of Utah, which you may remember as the state that Mitt Romney won by 48 points. It showed Trump tied with Clinton at just 26 percent of the vote, with the independent candidate Evan McMullin at 22 percent and the Libertarian Gary Johnson at 14 percent. Were going to be adding McMullin to our model in Utah give us a day or two on that. But in the meantime, we could also really use another poll or two of Utah to confirm or contradict this result. Although polling there in the spring sometimes showed a tight race, Trump pulled ahead by margins ranging from 7 to 15 points in a series of Utah polls in August and September. If McMullin is really polling in the 20s, however and taking most of his voters from Trump he could create an unpredictable finish.

Trump is finished. The Senate is ours, let's work on the House.

(13,870 posts)1- Trump voters are super-motivated and will turn out to vote;
2- He cannot get above 40-45% of the registered vote, which would equate to a landslide;
3- Therefore, the only way we could lose is a massive fatigue on the part of our voters who are convinced the election is over, so they don't need to vote.
We are still going to need an inspired and motivated GOTV effort. He could lose by historic margins, which will destroy any narrative about the election being rigged, and will inspire the GOP to finally confront and eject the Tea Party/Trump faction.

GET OUT THE VOTE.

(8,756 posts)I make it loud and clear: Show up on election day and cast your lot, otherwise you're giving up on democracy. We are at our best when the population takes part in the process. Less voters mean more wackos like Trump getting elected.

(11,086 posts)He has Arizona leaning toward Hillary by a fraction of a percent. In Florida, she's +4, Ohio +2.6, North Carolina +3, Iowa +1.5. Out of all the battleground states, Trump still leads in only Georgia, by +2.6.
It says Hillary is likely to win the electoral vote by 150.

(20,998 posts)...of Biblical proportions. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that the Presidency of Hillary Clinton is the will of the people. There should also be some epic ass kicking for the shoddy, racist, unpatriotic way the rethuglicans treated President Barrack Obama. They were a complete and utter disgrace.
FORTY YEARS OF WANDERING IN THE POLITICAL DESERT!

They probably will not believe they lost. But they will have been discredited enough to push them the hell of of center stage.
Nothing less than a blowout will do. Otherwise we'll have to be fretting about this crowd for a generation. Or two.
Raster
(20,998 posts)...by stating that if they lose, it will be a because the election was fixed. We need to make sure EVERYTHING: Every poll and every indicator points to a blowout before the election, and then we need a massive blowout that throws water on the "fixed election" dodge. I would love to see massive exit polling to further confirm lawful election results.
