In Nate Silver's panic-driven forecast for a very brief period, but in the rest of the aggregators, he wasn't. The last couple of days have had increasingly good polls for Clinton, and really the last couple of weeks have pushed her back into the 75%+ column in all of the aggregators.

Hm. I do look at 538 periodically - I must have missed that few days or whatever it was.

I don't remember if it was their NowCast which is intentionally overreactive to new polls or if it was their polls-plus model, but one of them did have Trump at 55% to win right before the first debate.

NowCast is the one that fluctuates a lot

Trump still insisting that the Central Park Five are guilty

Deplorable. Watch him go up 5 points.

In case people were wonder, this is the type of stuff that is the reason why the Dems didn't target Trump earlier. They knew they could bury him.

Given the deluge of stories coming out already, and given that it's only 10/7, my guess is they've got recordings of Trump saying much, much worse than even that.

 

edit: October Surprise is more like October Advent Calendar this year

On the same day we learn Russian government formally asked UN to stop criticizing Trump, US government formally accuses Russia of hacking.

And video surfaced of Trump's 1993 testimony against allowing Indian casinos in which he says he didn't think they even looked Indian

This is gonna be a looooong month.

This was apparently from July, but I just heard about it today from someone at work.

Excerpt

 

“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money!” O’Donnell’s book quoted Trump as saying. “I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. . . . Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

Can't, ballots are already finalized in pretty much every state.

And this election is ova!

There's a deposition from a lawsuit against Trump from several years back alleging this exact behavior.

A candidate for the President of the United States admitting to serial sexual battery on tape. This election just needs to be over already.

 

edit: It's too bad none of the 16 other GOP candidates could be bothered to do any opposition research on Trump whatsoever during the primaries!

 

edit2: it turns out that Trump was right all along...this is too much winning, please, Mr. Trump, I can't handle all of this winning...

I dunno...is this really surprising to anyone? It honestly does nothing for me.

 

Now when things come out like this for someone that you would have never expected...Tiger Woods, for instance, then this is news.

 

The Donald...par for the course.

 

Btw, I do actually think it should be discounted due to the nature of the recordings. A lot of men speak like this around other men they are trying to impress.

It's kind of sad that so many people will have this reaction to a person that is so close to becoming the president of the United States. I mean how low can the bar go for this imbecile?

 

Not singling you out either. I just realize that this will not be an uncommon reaction.

No, I understand...I actually think it is a good sign, Sqwert. I mean shouldn't most of us have had this understanding of who the guy is a long time ago?

 

I guess it just doesn't surprise me in the least that he would say these things off camera when he says the things he does on camera...

Trump camp's response is, uh,

 

Bill Clinton said worse on the golf course! Call Sean Hannity, he was there too!

SO basically if you vote for Trump, you don't care about his indescretions and behavior towards women, so you don't care what Bill Clinton ever did either.

I honestly could give a s*** what Bill Clinton did. Politicians and World leaders are all egomaniacs anyways. If you don't think most of men with this kind of power are going to abuse it by being predatory towards women, you're being naive. It's something that sort of comes with the territory, and while I don't mean to say that it's something we shouldn't look down upon, I guess it's just not something I concern myself with.

 

One thing I admire about Barack Obama is that he has brought some integrity back to the office, but for me it's more about what kind of impact they have governing.

Friend of mine who was chased at night, abused, nearly raped last year in LA is finding today somewhat triggering.

So yeah, pissing off the Washington Post backfired.

This is your regular reminder that stating it's so important that we stop being PC about one group, you don't get a pass when he switches groups to talking about rape and you have a daughter
