QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) Are they being douchebags? The lady next to me snored for a bit but otherwise I think everyone was just tired so not really. The flight attendants did play that horrible Go Cubs Go song when we landed so that sucked.

14 I think

The James O'Keefe video did not show "sanctioned violence," and it wasn't people from the Clinton campaign but from an independent Democratic PAC called Americans United for Change. What was shown on the video wasn't them talking about paying people to incite violence but paying people to go to Trump rallies and them assuming that a protesters would be met with violence for something as simple as saying "Trump sucks" or wearing a Planned Parenthood shirt.

In some places and in some ways, yes. In other places, it isn't.

There is definitely some of that being driven by on screen characters rather than who they really are, including panel guests.

So many cubs fans on my flight to LA

But then what about la?

Why the spike in only a handful of cities, though? Iirc it's really just been Chicago, Baltimore and Houston that have seen shootings go up the last year or two.

The "rigged election!" nonsense is spreading to members of Congress now. Really not cool that they're actively undermining the legitimacy of our democracy because they're losing. https://mobile.twitter.com/PhilipRucker/sta...352690116030464 Tennessee GOP falling for Twitter jokes as evidence of vote fraud https://mobile.twitter.com/JGreenDC/status/...378566325141504 And the Ohio secretary of state is investigating a different twitter joke https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-po...etary-of-state/

Mormons are the reason.

Texas, Georgia, Alaska and Arizona are polling closer than any of the swing states that Trump absolutely needs to even have a chance. Oh and Utah has had several polls showing it firmly being a three way race with McMullin, Clinton and Trump all in the high 20's.

Michael McDonald – ‏@ElectProject In Georgia today 91,951 people voted. 31% were African-American, pushing the overall African-American early vote percentage from 19% to 27% 7:34 PM - 17 Oct 2016 Trump's plan to depress democratic turnout doesn't seem to be working.

If you are unfamiliar with a source, it's not a bad idea to check that source out before using it as support or evidence for a claim.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) Like it or not, Trump excited a cross section of voters who largely sat out McCain and especially Romney. The numbers are there. Sat out of the primaries but not the general. That is what the numbers show.

Masto's had some pretty strong polls recently in Nevada, showing her with a comfortable lead. NV is notoriously hard to poll, but if the Democrats can hold that seat (it's Reid's current seat), that will go a long, long way. Bayh is also polling strongly in Indiana. I'd say that 538's chances for the Dem Senate 'feel' about right. For the House, IIRC the Democrats really need something like D+12 on a generic ballot poll in order to have a shot at taking that back, and they're not quite there. Most likely what will happen is we get millions of more votes collectively for Democrats, but Republicans manage to hold the House at a much tighter margin because of the gerrymandering you mention. The more interesting question there, potentially, is what will happen in the race for Speaker. Portions of the GOP are waging open war on Ryan right now.
