Lou Dobbs tweeted out the personal contact information of one of Trump's accusers. https://twitter.com/polly/status/7865998201...src=twsrc%5Etfw Gee, it sure is a mystery why women are hesitant to come forward.

A judge issued a probable cause criminal summons to Chris Christie over the Bridgegate scandal. Multiple former advisers/staff have testified that he was aware of what was going on before and during the closures. https://twitter.com/brian4NY/status/7865674...src=twsrc%5Etfw Can one of you fancy lawyer types explain the implications of "probable cause criminal summons"?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) 1) Having a sound methodology and past history of accuracy makes is very likely to be right. 2) Pollsters have every motivation to be as accurate as possible. If they're inaccurate, they become irrelevant. 2b) If the news can't be trusted, then how can you trust this news about the news not being trustworthy??? Herding happens, and so does some pollsters knowing they have crap methodology that will show big swings or outliers that will get media coverage, but when it's literally every single poll, state and national, versus one with a new and questionable methodology that can be significantly impacted by a single respondent and which even that one had it tied yesterday, things aren't exactly looking good.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) 1) Majority does not make right 2) Lots of news coming out about the corruption of...the news. In case you missed it, Nate Cohn dove into the LA Times poll's methodolgy and data and found this: How One 19-Year-Old Illinois Man Is Distorting National Polling Averages That "poll" simply doesn't function in the same way that normal polling does. Being aware of the limitations doesn't mean you can't still think that Trump will win or has a better shot than the polls indicate for whatever reason, but don't let yourself be duped.

Combined with the recent good news on wage growth, it seems like the recovery has finally started to spread more broadly.

If you're a Trump TV surrogate, how do you get up every day knowing that you're going to have to go on national TV and defend the latest Trump scandal(s) for that day with the most absurd arguments and attempts at deflection while having seemingly zero centralized coordination on what the message should even be? It has to be exhausting.- 2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) But can't the same argument be made that the Clinton Foundation and access to it as well as the Secretary of State's office was similarly "gamed" by 1 percenters? no- 2016 Democratic Thread

They already did background and checked with people they told their stories to at the time they happened. It's multiple independent women all alleging the same behavior. Plus, you know, it's the exact behavior Trump himself bragged about.- 2016 Democratic Thread
Lol thank God discovery exists. No way he actually goes through with it. He does not want to be under oath on these issues. The nyt has a landmark supreme court case named after them for exactly this sort of issue. They are not even remotely afraid of his threats. https://mobile.twitter.com/frankthorp/statu...425330630361088- 2016 Democratic Thread

And by dating he means ducking. f*** this country for letting this piece of filth get so far. I am deeply offended and sickened by him. I mean f***. f***. Steve, get it right. You grossly mischaracterized her age. She was 10.- 2016 Democratic Thread
Trump surrogates on TV are literally using the "well why didn't they report it at the time??" defense. Trump explicitly explained this in the video you disgusting assholes. I'm sitting here watching breaking coverage of allegations of sexual assault against a presidential candidate less than a month from the election, and it's interrupted by more allegations of sexual assault by the presidential candidate. Get f***ed, Trump. Get f***ed forever.- 2016 Democratic Thread
Another allegation from another woman, this time in people. http://people.com/politics/donald-trump-at...-people-writer/- 2016 Democratic Thread
welp write off women as yet another demographic that the GOP has permanently damaged themselves with. Oh and the Trump campaign is insisting that they are going to sue the New York Times over their story, and Trump himself melted down when asked for comment by the NYT last night. Probably won't come to pass because he really, really wouldn't want to go to discovery over this. Oh and John Dingell is a former democratic rep from michigan, is 90 years old and is excellent at twitter. https://twitter.com/JohnDingell/status/7863...src=twsrc%5Etfw- 2016 Democratic Thread
