"Benedict Donald"

You're welcome.

All right folks when referencing "Bernie supporters" interviewed for news stories

Can we be a bit more specific? Are we talking about protesters outside the convention? Or delegates inside?

It is impossible to process the outrage being ginned up because the two are conflated in almost every post.

Poll Averages, people. It's the opposite of DEMOCRATIC PANIC!!!

I predicted there would be a "bounce" prior due to the RNC convention. I even expected Trump to take a lead of a few points. So far, he hasn't, which is unabashedly good news.

This may change, and I still expect a Trump lead before our bump takes effect. But as of right now things are looking OK. The best he can do, apparently, is to get close to Clinton. Her upside is still (always) higher.


I will be releasing my own election model in a week or so, once I get the data ingest built.

There's no cheating in politics

I have to seriously LOL at anyone who is upset or surprised at allegations the DNC harbored individuals who were considering ways to support the candidate they thought most likely to win in November.

Politics ain't beanbag, and it ain't for babies who want to cry about the referees never calling traveling on LeBron either.

Big dogs get favorable refs. Everyone else has to work harder.
