Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I think I covered that one earlier in this thread: Two men, six families. You can't get much more "family" bang for your buck than that.

 

That was just the hors d'oeuvres. What did he have for an entree (and how many entrees did he have)?

 

Is there any question after Loretta Lynch's performance that the fix was in?

 

Did you catch his remarks?

 

New polling appears to show Trump surging and/or leading most swing states.

 

Now we know where tony learned his approach to politics.

 

Comey's little talk last week is resonating with voters. They got to see a concrete
example of "Crooked Hillary". It definitely left a mark.

 

News events drive polling, which in June-July is reporting an America's Cup race with little to no wind. In June, Trump's numbers were blown down a bit by bad news for him, in mid-July, the same has happened to Clinton. The most important number remains the extremely high number of people who're so far rejecting both choices or refusing to make a choice. As that number declines, the picture will become clearer.

 

Case in point. Quinnipiac poll of Ohio shows Jill Stein at six percent and Gary Johnson at seven. In November, those two won't get six percent combined (Stein might get 0.6). People are putting off what they view as an unpleasant chore as long as possible.

 

Yep. Ahead in Pennsylvania and Florida. Tied in Ohio.

 

@realDonaldTrump: "Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!"

 

Just a reminder. Straight line projection, predictions based on the assumption what's happening today will keep on happening for the foreseeable future, is the best way to go broke in finance, and to look very foolish in both politics and sports. It is a bipartisan error, in that it is committed by those of all parties and all ideologies. It is the staple failure of the Washington press corps, too.
