I voted yes because I have lost all faith in the American voters to make an even halfway intelligent decision in this election cycle if the narrowing polls are any indication.

Men make up the overwhelming majority of murderers. So if you want to make a racial generalization about blacks, which is what it appears here, the same logic can equally apply to men in general as well.

What it will do to Hillary is cost her Pub and some Ind votes.

Any Republicans voting for Hillary this year surely already thought of the people who nominated Donald Trump as deplorable.

It plays against her unifier message. She divides the people into the deplorables and the others and who knows, maybe the others are further subdivided into categories.

Pubs voting for her will pause after this and take a second look of her and the Donald and a large number of them, particularly the more educated ones will choose the Donald over her as the lesser evil.

It’s the same thing which cost Orman his election. He spoke his heart and was exposed for the partisan Democrat hack that he was.


Did Orman have a gaffe like this?

While I think this was a mistake, especially given how the media is spinning it, I don't think it's quite the same when you're talking national electorate vs Kansas statewide electorate--the latter is far more conservative as a whole.

You should never bash American voters as a presidential candidate.

News Flash.
We "Americans" are not perfect people.
There are scums among us. Call them out for what they are.



Shall we start with the Colin Kaepernicks and other flag burning anarchists?

So burning a piece of cloth and not standing during the a piece of music are off limits, but inciting hatred and violence against actual people is just fine.

True, it is probably because, we haven't got yet polls from WI/CO/NH/PA etc Roll Eyes

True notice how when Republicans do well no polls are ever taken.

Or, just maybe (sorry to interrupt the echo chamber here) Republicans only do well because no polls of those states are taken.

You've never heard of a Republican winning an election?  In elections Republicans win there's less polls taken.  Stop looking at polls and start looking at real votes.

I'm referring to the prediction market graph, which was posted a few posts prior. The fewer polls are taken, the better Republicans seem to do.
