    Same map shows Drumpf barely holding Arizona (41.6 to 40) which would pretty much nullify Florida. Hell Georgia he only holds by 2...

    But hey if Hillary gets 311 EVs like that map shows he can have Florida for all the good it will do him

        Like I said after the Nevada speech...this is the stuff that needs to run until Election Day. Use his own words to bury him...he puts out enough ammo. Remind people how low he thinks of the average citizen and the country itself and make them decide whether they feel someone who seems disgusted by this country and its people should lead it. Make it a crisis of conscience...

          Remind people that he (probably) doesn't believe half of what he says; just like every other politician. He's saying what he thinks voters want to hear. He's selling himself. His brand. His (whatever you want to call it).

            I don't disagree with what Hillary said because of my personal biases, but isn't that ad basically a tu quoque fallacy? "Sure, I said it what my base is thinking, but he and his base say it 1000 times worse."

              Because there's zero proof not requiring it has presented a problem to any significantly measurable degree. None. Nada.

                  With all due respect, I think you are guilty of another false equivalency here, Brent. These takes are not of politicians saying "I promise . . . .," when they know they will probably not be able to deliver, for whatever reason. These takes quote a guy saying hateful, embarrassingly immature shyt. If Trump's brand is hateful and embarrassingly immature, then Clinton should have used a word with uglier connotations than "deplorable."

                  The term Colin Powell recently used to describe Trump was "national disgrace," so perhaps that is a closer fit.

                      If there's an ID requirement to vote, then there should be a FREE state ID that is issued when you register to vote. If you have to pay for the ID just to vote, that is a poll tax, and is not legal at all. And if it takes special burden to get the ID, it's also a poll tax, as it should be just as easy to get the ID as it is to register to vote.

                      Still, the "requirement" of ID to prevent voter fraud is fixing a problem that does not exist. Which says what the point of the laws actually are.

                      Just like abortion laws "for the safety of women's health" that don't apply what so ever to child birth. Duh.

                        What so many are saying, mookie, is that you don't interfere with a right without good cause. And Slap is right in saying there is no credible evidence out there that voter fraud is a statistically meaningful factor in presidential elections. So why?

                            I needed to deal with some Social Security matters for a parent so I had to go to the Federal building (includes courthouse) in Fargo. I had to go through a metal detector and show valid identification to go up stairs to those offices. (Being a smart-alec I used my ND issued CCL which the guys laughed about because I know most of them from the local shooting range.)

                            Sorry, entering a public building and voting are pretty much citizen rights. Why ID for one and not the other. The guys at the door don't need to know who I am (although they did already).

                            What's the "good cause" for forcing me to show ID to go to an office?

                              538 tries to figure out the percentage of Trump supporters who are deplorable.

                              tl; dr: We don't have decent data yet, because there hasn't been good targeted polling of Trump supporters on their beliefs. But given that this race will probably set records for analysis when all is said and done, we will likely wind up with tons of raw data quantifying just how sexist, racist, Islamaphobic, homophobic and hateful in general Trump supporters are both themselves and as compared with the rest of the electorate.

                                Mentioning voting and absolute rights ...

                                ... a court ruling upholding a ban on voting by ex-felons, who often register as Democrats.
                                That's stereotyping, and stereotyping is wrong. (Thank you Ron White. )
