Are there any sites that updates polling precinct traffic throughout the day?

I'm really interested in Cuyahoga County, Ohio and what the turnout is.

Trump needs 2 of the 3 to have any chance: Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Mexico

They are going to pour all they got into Pennsylvania and/or Michigan. Hold the door!

A super PAC needs to run audio of Trump talking to Stern where he wants Marla to have an abortion

I'm in Ohio, many Trump supporters point to the abortion issue as the reason to support him but don't realize it was Trump who wanted his mistress Marla Maples to have an abortion.

Place the 18 seconds of audio in radio/TV ads to expose Trumps pro-abortion attitude. Run it in suburban counties outside of large cities.

I don't expect them to flip to Hillary but rather not vote at all.

audio is 33 seconds in, 51 out.

Trump did tell us he can get really nasty....

So much for That 'Republican Family Values' they like to throw out there.

It's up to Obama to decide what classified national security briefings Trump gets.

There is no law that forces a President to share such information with any candidate. Trump is a threat to our national security with his erratic and unpredictable behavior. Obama should be brought up on charges if he allows Trump access to any classified information.

Michelle, Bernie, Booker; those 3 on the trail are going to kick ass.

Imagine the crowds they'd bring out, these 3 have more class and power than the entire Trump team. I still expect Trump to implode during the debates with Hillary, but the batter's box is loaded.

GOP selecting Trump as their candidate over Kasich, this is GOP’s Sam Bowie moment

I was just reading the article on how ‘Trump Reportedly Tried to Convince Kasich to Be His VP by Offering Him the President’s Job’ and I sit here still surprised at how horrid this selection process for the Republican presidential nomination has been, a slow motion train wreck.

The Portland Trailblazers drafted Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan in 1984. Now let me be clear in what I'm not saying, I am not suggesting Kasich is a political Michael Jordan (far from it). But this selection of Trump is akin to that Blazers pick, except much worse. Sam Bowie didn't show up in Portland armed with machetes and infected with a toxic disease destroying the entire franchise, as Trump is now doing to the GOP. Now we can say that the toxic disease is the Republican Party itself but I don’t believe that’s fair. I know sensible and rational Republicans and though they are a dying species, they do exist and with them we govern best.

I’m conflicted in this Republican choice of Trump. Politically, I think it helps Hillary and the Democratic Party. It exposes the toxic sludge that the GOP decided it was worth siding up with to fight Democrats over the last decade. A nasty lot they made peace with as long as they could use them when needed and push them under the table the rest of the time.

Personally, I’m sadden that such a large collective group has embraced the fear and the hate. Let’s be clear, supporters of Trump should make no mistake this is what you are embracing. While at one point you may have received a pass for supporting Trump simply because he’s a ‘political outsider’, an attractive quality for many no matter what side of the aisle you fall, you can no longer hide behind that. This focus of him being an ’outsider’ has led many people to blissfully ignore the man inside, his values, his beliefs. What he has shown to be is a misogynist, racist, narcissistic, fear mongering bully…who will stand up to the establishment. I’m sorry, political outsider and 'unconventional' do not define Trump. I’m told he’s willing to “stand up to the establishment”, perhaps it would wise to take a look at what and who he’s standing on before you genuflect at his golden alter.

Truth be told, the race between Hillary and Kasich is what the country needs right now. Debating about the divide between the have and the have-nots, bringing constructive discussion and plans of action to fix the cataclysm between police and minorities, deciding the best way to build a bridge for immigrants, one that protects all sides. Starting at where the sides agree rather than focusing how far apart they are. Political issues, instead of low grade insults. I’m from Ohio, I campaigned against Kasich in his elections for governor, but his message of unity isn’t phony. We would have had a respectful election and debates that actually would have help the country figure out how to fix its issues.

I’ll fight and with millions of others deliver Ohio this November to Hillary and the Democrats but part of me wishes it was against someone who wanted to build something other than a wall.

And my apologies to Sam Bowie for lumping you with Trump
