President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Rasmussen is straight garbage. You take the Republican and subtract 7 to 10 percent in that poll, and it would be more accurate.

 

There are a great many remarkable races nationwide, but what is happening in Oklahoma is nothing short of jaw-dropping: The governor race is within the margin of error in possibly the Trumpiest of Trump states. Trump should be scared shitless.

 

Wake me when these people start losing elections. Not getting close in polls.

 

I can only hope for the strongest possible Trump rebuke tomorrow, but I fear that when he loses in 2020, the next Democratic president will be saddled with such a mess, in a country on the verge of economic collapse, that he or she will be fucked, and the Republicans will get to do this all over again in 2024, only with someone competent as well as evil, instead of just evil.

 

Deripaska's name has come up so many times in the Trump/Russia investigation that if Trump moves to pardon him it will be an obstruction of justice charge all it's own. You *know* Mueller has a list of charges involving him.

 

This is news?

 

About 27 times.

 

The answer is obvious amongst people who are not professionally ignorant.

 

Polling has been remarkably consistent since Labor Day if one uses averages, as one should. Dems lead in the popular vote, probably enough to win the House but maybe not.

 

Pollsters: *Damn if we know. What do you think?*

 

I don't know who is supposed to be swayed by television ads. On damn near every commercial break, no matter the network, I'll see two to four ads.

The first one comes on and says, I'm great and my opponent sucks. Followed immediately by the other candidate saying, I'm great and my opponent sucks. Then a Ford truck or Wendy's or one of the phone carriers ad, and then back to two more candidate ads.

I'm not sure if they're trying to sway the nonexistent undecided voters or just trying to make sure the folks that lean their way actually get off their asses and vote tomorrow.

With a medical procedure scheduled for Wednesday morning, I'm going to vote like it's my last election.

 

Not really. There are factors such as gerrymandering and the absolute refusal of many white people to live in multiracial communities that give Republicans a natural advantage in the House. The uncertainty comes from whether the projected Democratic margin of victory will be enough to overcome them. But that Rasmussen poll is the only, only one I can think of this year to show the Republicans getting more votes, period.
