Polling will of course be junk over the next 2-3 weeks because of the conventions and bumps, but we should probably use the Clinton+3 or Clinton+4 polls now as a benchmark.

My predictions:

Trump should get a 2-5% bounce (assuming someone polls next weekend) and Clinton roughly the same bounce.

So, virtually nothing will change in terms of her overall lead, but I expect Clinton to move closer to 45-46% and Trump to 40-42%. Johnson and Stein drop a bit.

So, Mr. Morden:

When does this roll-call thing happen today ?

You said the session "begins" at 5:30pm (I guess this is 23:30 here).

So, the roll call will likely be after midnight ?

Thx.

I'll probably switch to CNN at around 22:00-23:00 to see if they have anything going on.

Republican Nomination Roll Call - President 2016



Trump: 1725 (69.8%)✔
Cruz: 475 (19.2%)
Kasich: 120 (4.9%)
Rubio: 114 (4.6%)
Carson: 7 (0.3%)
Bush: 3 (0.1%)
Paul: 2 (0.1%)

So, 4 states (UT, AK, IA, OK) + DC had to award their votes to Trump, even though Cruz or Rubio won them ?

To the native Americans here:

What exactly does the phrase "Trump digs coal" really mean ?
