    Or yet another example of a dysfunctional campaign with a serious lack of communication between the nominee and the people he hired to get him into the office.

    I particularly liked Linky quoting a week-old projection, as though nothing happened since last Friday.

    I'm disappointed he didn't pull an A-Rod and get his portrait painted to look like a centaur.

    Clearly, this will be the end of Trump. The six readers of Newsweek probably weren't going to vote for him already.

    If I did, it was by accident. My apologies. Which one was it? FiveThirtyEight is updated daily, correct?

    Edit: I see the problem. You didn't look at the full post. The Nate Silver tweet I quoted included last week's (which was at the top) followed by today's projection. Both are on the post.

    You mean we're supposed to read the whole thing?

    That seems oppressive to the Trump crowd.

    No comment on the substance of the story, OT? Do you think the conflicts of interest described in the story could pose a problem for a sitting U.S. President? How much of the story did you read? Any of it?

    They prefer a safe space away from literacy and critical thinking.

    It's a major non-story. Every businessman running for elective office -- particularly someone with international business dealings -- would have a similar situation.

    The first time I saw it, only the first tweet loaded. Now I see both tweets -- and they show a 2% increase for Trump in six days. I'll take that trend.
