Campaign 2016 Part XV: Before & After: Dancing in the Streets of Philadelphia!

1) Not enough of them. You might think it was 1988 and the GOP had just won 5 out of 6 elections. Instead its the Dems who've outvoted GOP in 5 out of 6. Go figure. Trump is losing the college educated vote for the first time by a Republican since like FDR's time. He can't lose women (a given), minorities, young people, and college educated people yet still win the election. There's just not enough votes there.

2) What exactly is Hillary doing in this campaign, not something she did 25 years ago, to alienate the left? Examples please.
There's enough votes out there if enough of the others stay home.

Her VP pick of Tim Kaine has upset plenty considering his views on banking.

The only way they can really make it up is for all of the angry white guys to have lots of kids, and actually bring them up within their bubble.

Ahem.

This is happening a lot, albeit at a somewhat more modest rate. The most conservative men at my worksite all have lots of kids and stay-at-home wives who homeschool them. I don't think those kids are being given a cosmopolitan Weltanschauung.

Regarding the useless DWS, it sounds like a soft landing into a made up position for her in the name of party unity. As long as she doesn't have any actual work to do or public appearances to make, I'm cool with it. I don't think the woman is evil. She's just really, really incompetent.

She's not evil in the Cheney sense. She is corrupt, though. When Tulsi Freaking Gabbard has the ethical high ground on you, you're not doing your job right.

The DWS problem is optical: it solidifies HRC's reputation of double-dealing. At a time when liberals were finally making their peace with this for the good of the country, it reopens old wounds.

And if you really believe Hillary didn't need the DNC to cheat, then it was all so unnecessary. That is something the Clintons exude: they'll cheat even when they don't need to. Shorty cuts across even when he's a mile ahead with a yard to go.

That's the college educated white vote he's losing for the first time. Democrats have had a lock on the overall college educated vote.

IINM when Trump loses the college educated white vote it will be the first time a Republican has lost it ever.

I may not be at full blown Scooby-level alert but things like this have me at a worried yellow alert.

Good catch. So again, he's got nowhere to go. I find it hard to believe non-white voters who have a target on their back because of Trump are going to stay home. People are miscalculating due to the media driven notion that its a 50/50 election. It isn't. There are at least 5M more Dem voters than Goopers out there, meaning Dems would have to stay home at a disproportionate and unprecedented for a Presidential election clip for Trump to prevail. Could happen, but not very likely.

I am not going to worry about anything until the Olympics end. At that point all the ping pong from the conventions will be done and we'll have a baseline. I expect it to be around Hillary +2.5

Better than not.

Also, Sanders is giving the lie to all those accusations that he is a prima donna, power mad, blah blah blah.

Someday people will learn that when you run against an ally you don't assassinate his character. For one thing, you'll need him later. For another it's, you know, the Not Dick thing to do.

I'm sure the RNC has its own dirty laundry, and I doubt they are any better at infosec.

Its enough that I'm still worried.

Remember, the other political parties could've held off the Nazis if they had realized what was happening and worked together instead fighting amongst themselves. That's what I see here. As is said in the comments, they can't get the whole loaf of bread so they're trying to burn down the bakery.

But Bernie is one vote in Vermont. His followers, at least at the convention, do not appear to be on the same page.

There is a subset of the electorate that is Howard Beal mad right now. The candidate who can tap this movement will be onto something, but how large this movement is is still guesswork.

+2.5 is a ****ing joke with that Baboon at the top of the other ticket.

Hearing the Sanders supporters are going to boo Clinton ALL WEEK. That's going to be fantastic TV and horrible for the Democratic Party.

Sanders has had to tell his supporters to shut the **** up and it's not happening.

Frankly, he's trying and they're not listening. A lot of them are straight off the deep end now.

Like was quoted, they're burning down the bakery out of spite because they didn't get the whole loaf of bread.

This is Twitter come to real life. Passionate [insert Idol here] fanatics that are vocal in stating how they support [said Idol], even when. [said Idol] tells them to stop.

This isn't blind allegiance, this is full blown global psychosis.

Volunteers - Jefferson Airplane (1969)
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution
Got to revolution

Hey I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution
Got to revolution

Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution
Got to revolution

One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry

Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution
Got to revolution

Come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution
Got to revolution

Who will take it from you
We will and who are we
We are volunteers of America
