22% of Trump supporters believe he will start a nuclear war. That's right, supporters. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/...&ICID=ref_fark

Oh, there's even better stuff in that poll:

Among those who say they will vote for Trump, 48 percent say he’ll create a database to track Muslims; 36 percent say there will be race riots; 33 percent say the government would default on its debt; and 32 percent say Trump would punish his political opponents and authorize internment camps for illegal immigrants.

Only 22 percent of Trump supporters believe he will start a nuclear war.

How many red flags do you need?

According to whatever Scooby is listening too every state within 6 points I guess is in play. By that standard what isnt in play?

538 has looked at 35 polls in Virginia, Drumpf leads in 3. Hillary leads the rest and many of them arent close.

I'd much rather have Scooby's "The sky is falling, Dems get out and vote!" over an "It's in the bag, don't worry," Brexit situation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this election is closer poll wise right now than the last two? At least that's what I've heard. And the last two had competent GOP candidates running.

Yes it is...which is why I posted it a day or two ago

I think we've all now re-posted material in this thread. Some things just get lost in the noise.

That's a good piece. WaPo has also started calling Trump on his lies. But then again, the people who read the NYT and WaPo aren't the people supporting Trump. USA Today might matter. Fox would matter but their whole business model is telling the same kind of lies that Trump does so they couldn't go there even if they wanted to.

This isnt about reaching Drumpf supporters, they arent changing their mind. This is for the rest of the people especially the undecideds.

Well that's nonsense. VA is trending bluer every election: we've got a huge influx of highly educated people and we're becoming more racially diverse. But even when you just look at our Republicans, we have entire counties of Beltway Republicans who are ten times more scared of Trump than I am. They think he's going to blunder in like a Sumatran Orangutan and f-ck up their carefully calibrated scams.

Ultra Red district. They wouldn't vote Blue no matter who the Red Rep is.

I've heard that, and it seems so odd. Didn't her district reach into the NW suburbs?

In fairness, it actually is hilarious.

I waited and waited and waited for hilarious, and finally, with 10 seconds left ...

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVIII: I'm OK, You're Deplorable

I agree...the feeling out process will be done within 5 minutes.

First one's going to be boring. It's the old "feel them out" meet-up. Hillary will be expecting a bar fight from Trump, but Trump will be so doped up on Xanax or Ativan he'll sound like Bob Ross on stage. Hillary will get flustered before the first commercial break.

Ah, you missed it: no commercial breaks.

And I think things will get feisty from the start. I expect Trump to get at least one shot in about "those are cameras, and questions, Hillary" (reference to only 1 press conference in X days) in the first 10 minutes. From there ... it's on!
