IIRC, if aomething should happen to either candidate prior to 11/8 and they are replaced, the early votes for that candidate are invalid.

Wow. That circus would make the 2000 ruling look legitimate.

I agree that Trump comes nowhere near filling their professed desires of Liberty, but the guys I know have somehow projected this kind of anti-government conservatism onto him in spite of everything he says and does. I think its widespread. I think it's because he talks loud and proud, simply personality-based. I've actually heard, "I'm voting for him because he's got balls." A nuclear war would simply be an amusing side-effect to electing someone that's almost as awesome as Putin.

This is an accurate representation of Trump. The fact that this man (Trump) is this close to the Presidency of the United States makes me sick to my stomach.

That is good, even if it's Keith. Any other candidate would have been mortally wounded by almost any one of those things. With Trump, you feel like they only made him more popular among the people who are backing him. He's their id made flesh.

Every person who is Right of Center should fee ashamed that Drumpf is the guy that is out there speaking for them. Colin Powell nailed it in the leaked email the man is a National Disgrace.

If he loses he makes whatever lame excuse saves his ego and his stories go back to Entertainment Tonight. If he wins, it just goes on and on.

Finish him!

Manchester (somehow now called New Hampshire) Union Leader sees Dallas Morning News' 50, raises another 50.

For the first time in more than 100 years, New Hampshire’s largest newspaper has declined to endorse the Republican nominee for president.

In a pair of editorials published Wednesday by New Hampshire Union Leader publisher Joseph McQuaid and the editorial board, the newspaper endorsed Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for president in a pointed affront to Donald Trump.

Writing that Trump is not “qualified to competently lead this nation,” McQuaid said the moneyed real estate mogul represents the “status quo” as much as Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“The man is a liar, a bully, a buffoon,” McQuaid wrote. “He denigrates any individual or group that displeases him. He has dishonored military veterans and their families, made fun of the physically frail, and changed political views almost as often as he has changed wives.”

I still have yet to see anyone on this board say they will vote for Trump, although many seem to defend him indirectly. I suspect many voters are that way. They will not admit to what they will do once inside the booth.

My read on the people on this board is that they would not just readily admit it but openly flaunt it if they were voting for Trump. I think we simply seeing the "College" part of USCHO.

But this is an important point. If Trump can't at least match Romney's educated voter margins, he can't win. Polls that show Trump in a tie usually have non-educated whites taking a big proportion of the vote from educated whites first and foremost and then a smaller amount from non-whites. Nothing nefarious with that as most likely on Labor day week when a lot of the polls were conducted Trump's eternally aggrieved angry voters are the ones saying they'll definitely turn out.

Yeah, I'm the most conservative person here (by my definition: I think that "conservation/ism" should be about conserving everything that's worth conserving) and I wouldn't vote for him with a ten foot pole. The Trump voters aren't engaged in a discussion anywhere, they're busy re-posting worthless memes on facebook, forwarding corrective screeds by email to their "probably queer" step-grandchildren, and picketing Target stores.

Will Hillary bridge the likeable gap. Is the Don truly out to lunch. There are quite a few questions many have.

The debates will in all likelihood determine whether this is way over or whether people are panicking the first week of November.

No panic here. My daughter is established in her new home in Vancouver, so Mrs. burd and I have a place to which we can flee if the inmates take over the asylum. I would think of many of you often and with affection, though.

Dr. Mrs. has a friend working in the embassy in Kiribati.

It might be far enough.

Don's taking the whole planet with him. There's nowhere to hide.
