    If anyone has real money to put on this contest, you're not going to get a better return on Hillary than you will today.

      In today's politics, there's a difference?

      There's the Trump meme: Inept, failed, racist businessman that'll have nuclear weapons!
      There's the Clinton meme: Sick-old, lying crook.

        The people sitting with Trump bets from 18-24 months ago, when he was a 150:1 longshot, are starting to get that "really, it might come in?" look on their faces. (Or else they're ****ed because they bought the bet on a drunk dare and threw the stub away the next day. )

          Do people really think Hillary can win North Carolina with that Governor and this guy:

          The representative, Robert Pittenger, a Republican whose district includes parts of Charlotte, was interviewed on a British Broadcasting Corporation show, BBC Newsnight, when he made the comment.

          Protesters in #Charlotte "hate white people" - North Carolina Congressman Pittenger tells #newsnight https://t.co/q6ELYD01QV
          — BBC Newsnight (@BBCNewsnight) Sept. 22, 2016

          In response to an interviewer’s question about the demonstrators’ grievance, Mr. Pittenger said: “The grievance in their mind is the animus, the anger. They hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not. I mean, yes, it is, it is a welfare state. We have spent trillions of dollars on welfare, and we’ve put people in bondage so they can’t be all that they are capable of being.”
          http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/24/us...smtyp=cur&_r=0

          Seems pretty obvious to me what kind of folks North Carolina want in power.

            If Trump showed up in NC (not Charlotte, maybe Raleigh) and said you folks have the right to run your state your way ... ouch.

              Well, looking like Ohio is going Trump. North Carolina is gone. Colorado is in play. Iowa is gone. Wisconsin is even more in play than Colorado. Florida is even more in play than Wisconsin. Explain to me how Hillary has it in the bag again?

              And after Hillary blows the debate by destroying him with complex facts and command of the issues. **** that 75% of the electorate doesn't give a **** about. This race is all but over.

                It's his evaluation of the average voter as being motivated by broad themes, symbolism, and appeals to emotion. There is probably a lot of truth to that.

                Put it this way: on matters of fact and policy, I literally can't think of a single reason not to vote for Hillary. But I also can't easily summarize Hillary in broad emotional/symbolic language.

                Obama and Bill were "hope." Reagan was and now Trump is "I'm all out of bubble gum." Those themes energize and attract people. What does Hillary put out there to attract people? "Experience and competence" last worked for Ike, and he had other advantages, like winning a godd-mn world war. The closest she comes is "face it, pumpkin -- you have no choice." At that's true and in the end it will, FSM willing, carry the day. But it's not something you chant at a rally.

                Obama and Reagan said "come to the dentist to brighten your smile!" Bill and Trump said "come to nail the hot hygienist!" Hillary is saying "come or in four years you'll need a root canal." And she's right. But man it's a downer.

                      I hope you're right. I'm still trying to figure out how he got elected three times in Wisconsin. Course, then I see Trump winning Wisconsin and I no longer wonder.

                        Worse for Hillary?

                        Trump has two slogans (love 'em or hate 'em they're there):

                        - MAGA
                        - Build the wall

                        Both are playing to his base.

                        That's what Hillary is missing. "Stronger Together" ain't doing it.

                            That reminds me of an article written about Hillary a while back where someone in her campaign commented on her stodgy, over-attention to semantic detail. They characterized it by saying if Hillary had been involved, the catchy "If you see something, say something" campaign it would be "If you see or believe something incorrect is occurring, alert the proper local authorities."

                                Bill "founder of the Never Trump" Krystol's mouthpiece, "The Weekly Standard" actually put this out?

                                Electoral Mapmaking: Five paths to victory for Trump.


                                A Trump line from the article that I hadn't seen before:
                                "It used to be, cars were made in Flint and you couldn't drink the water in Mexico. Now the cars are made in Mexico and you can't drink the water in Flint."
