Nate Silver out-forecast almost everyone last time. I'm keeping an eye on him and his analysis again this time. Secretary Clinton took a hit but I think she'll rebound because she has the policies.
Polls are going to bounce around and they will be close. The country is too polarized. What's most important is ground game. Get out the vote operations are critical. I don't know how wide the gap is between the two campaigns, but all indications is WIDE.

No wait, let me guess...

The only poll I have seen trump ahead is Rasmussen. He has had trump ahead for weeks and was the least accurate in 2012. We should expect a bounce in the convention. Both sides.

I still can't imagine Trump getting close. It's gonna be a sleepy election. If I'm wrong, next stop is Jupiter.

Assume we're getting the VP pick today or tomorrow?
Seems like Kaine's going to be the safe pick.
But, I'll say, with Trump doubling down on all the crazy - wouldn't going the "safe" route of just showing how crazy Trump is at the DNC stand a chance of not working. I feel like going balls to the wall and bringing Warren on might bring in a lot of people voting for Stein and the such.
But, as much as I think like this, I still come back around to how misogynistic this country is...

Ah, yeah, looks like she'll likely be announcing him this afternoon. I think safe is fine...I think
Would really like Warren, but yeah, I'd be a little worried about that. I do think it would help the Sanders/Stein people, to an extent, but it would be a complete side show with that lunatic. And yeah, I am not sure folks would be down with a 2 woman ticket, as sad as that is.

Every time log in here there are 60 posts to the Trump thread to 3 posts here on the Hillary thread. Looks like AMT is going Trump crazy. Strange Days!

Well, Bernie is out of it so it kind of makes sense that his thread isn't being commented on too much now.
Final night of the RNC, lots of shit to sling (oh yeah, and "comment" on) so that makes sense it'll be active.
Pretty sure there'll be plenty of creaming come Hillary's time.
Doesn't make anyone crazy...or if it does by the parameters of some? So be it. An odd perspective, but to each their own drummer.
Once again, fucking circus! Maybe even exceeding the three-ring variety.

Too many clowns, not enough high wire walkers and acrobats!

Agreed on the clowns. They make for really shitty discourse.

This is the most astute observation on these boards to date.

It's because Trump is a gong show and Hillary isn't. There is a lot to say about Trump because he is so polarizing and ridiculous. He's basically a freak show, which of course creates a lot more conversation than a woman who is acting sane and mature. The fact that there has just been a 4 day long pep rally happening in the name of Trump - an ebarrassing GOP spectacle - obviously creates some chatter, lol.

If these terror attacks keep happening Trump will keep it close ... may even overtake her. I would never under estimate what fearful people will do. And now another possible terror attack in Munich (still early), plays perfectly for trump ... but either way no one will ever convince that trump or Clinton are good choices ... just the only choices most Americans would consider.

He is driving the story of the day every single day. He really believes that all press is good press. I don't know if it will work but it is darn sure progressing that way.

Isn't it just so sick and disturbing how a ticket with two women on it is basically a complete non-option, while there are two men on the Republican ticket and no one bats an eye? I can't fucking believe I still live in a society like that. Pathetic.
