i keep worrying that they're going to drop something- a new wikileaks leak or something the trump campaign dug up - but no, they really have nothing and he is going to lose w/out even putting up a fight

naive brit statement : .. and i thought brexit got nasty

Xpost thanking u kf

the big advantage of the westminster system is that elections are much less personality driven. which is not to say they're focussed on issues. but character/scandals are only indirectly relevant, and everyone involved has won a couple of elections and undergone some scrutiny (although charles kennedy is a recent counter example i suppose).

of course brexit was racist and fascistic and a politician was literally assassinated so it's not all tea and crumpets.

These are people who think Sandy Hook was set up by the anti-gun lobby. They're going after those women anyhow. Maybe HRC will trace their IPs and dronestrike them, if we're lucky

extremely reliable pollster rasmussen new poll has trump up 3%

Mordy, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:20 (seven years ago) link

it's a tracking poll, I believe, which would mean surveying the same people daily instead of a random subset.

Neanderthal, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link

DJT: "This is a movement the likes of which people have never seen before"

Every time I see this abbreviation I think of either Dan Perry or the Hairy Cornflake (US posters may have to google the latter).

this is weird as hell

i saw chatter this morning that trump had be interviewed by a serbian magazine (?) and had apologized for clinton's intervention (???)

now his campaign is saying the interview was fabricated

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/trump-serbia-bombing-apology-229742

The magazine Nedeljnik released excerpts from what says it is an interview with Trump conducted via advisor Suzanne Ryder Jaworowski, a Trump senior advisor and his campaign manager for the state of Indiana

The magazine quotes Trump saying: β€œThe bombing of Serbs, who had been our allies in both world wars, was a big mistake. Serbs are very good people. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration brought a lot of harm to them, to all the Balkans, where they created chaos."

Jaworowski says the interview never happened. β€œThere was no Trump interview on Serbia,” she said. β€œI don’t know where that came from. I never facilitated any kind of interview with a Serbian reporter.”
