(8,168 posts)Seems this poll pushed Hillary up to 66% on 538 in spite of a crappy Republican NV poll posted at the same time.

(25,914 posts)will vote for Trump.
And given Trump's insistence that if he does not win, that's proof the election is rigged, and if close to half of those who vote, vote for him, we're in for a truly awful time.
Not the least of which will be a steady erosion of the Supreme Court. Republicans now assure us they have no problem never confirming a Hillary Clinton nominee. So when another Justice dies or resigns, I suppose our consolation is that with 7 justices there will be a majority of some sorty.
And just imagine President Clinton serves 8 years. How many Justices do you suppose we'll have in 2020?
Gosh, with any luck at all we'll be down to the two youngest justices, both women, both appointed by Obama.

(25,914 posts)It's more than a bit bizarre that those who claim to be the most fervent defenders of the Constitution don't seem to have a clue what that document is all about.

Like when people interpret the Bible LITERALLY: they tend to go off and focus on the wrong things.

(613 posts)Counting chickens before the eggs are hatched is never a good idea.
Using inflamed rhetoric like "fourth Reich" makes you sound like a nutter. Leave the hyperbole to Trump.
Better to focus on getting the vote out, then to go around grandstanding before the count is done. Leave the grandstanding to Trump.

(698 posts)It's the state by state polls that count.

(13,570 posts)There is generally SOME spill into state polls from higher national numbers. The higher the national popular vote margin the better.
