    Charter schools and "broken windows" policing seem to be good examples of what you're talking about.

    Plenty of video with him babbling incoherently, though.

    Pretty good line from the National Review editors about our choice: "It would take a truly remarkable set of medical circumstances (persistent lycanthropy, for instance) for either candidate’s health report to constitute the most worrisome aspect of his or her presidential prospects."

    I had to look up lycanthropy ... It's the tendency to turn into a wolf.

    Is it possible to babble coherently?

    LA Times is +3 Trump this morning. That's a 3 point move in one day.

    As this is a "panel" which surveys a portion of their panel each day, it's a good way to see when folks are breaking, and why.

    Clinton had a very bea few days, and this poll popped for Trump.

    The new NBC/SurveyMonkey poll also moved two points in Trump's direction in both two way and four way polling. It's now +4 and +2 Clinton, respectively.

    RCP Average down to +2.4 Clinton.

    Since you changed your mind, I hoped maybe we could change @doctorquant's mind too.

    Then I saw he liked your post.

    None of that has anything to do with a poll from a week ago. It was off then and off now. Subsequent news events don't somehow change that.

    You are the only person here who thinks Trump is a palatable choice for president.

    I hope to God that you're right.

    Which was off? CNN?

    Maybe. But if LA Times was right, on Friday, when it was +1 Clinton, and it's also right today, when it's +3 Trump today, that indicates a big swing in four days.

    I'm ok with that.

    The CNN poll was off. The LA Times poll is always overestimates Trump's support, but seems to accurately gauge relative swings.

    What's the fear?

    He's running to be cheerleader in chief. Congress will set the agenda, and will prevent his crazy ideas from going forward.

    And, I'm convinced that I'll be the one disappointed by his judicial appointments.
