Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I desperately want there to be a third party. Of course, I want it to be a third party that reflects my worldview, rather than the third party that actually seems to be gaining traction, the libertarian party. It's also why I sometimes feel like Donald Trump is, in some ways, a tragic missed opportunity: An independent-spirited gate crasher who, ultimately, makes it tough to root for him because of the misogyny, racist undertones, and lack of polish. I want a third party that both believes in global warming, for example, but also can comfortably concede that free trade is not the devil.

 

Everyone's a sore loser these days. There was a piece about it in one of the papers the other day, and it's true.

 

Everyone wants a third party except absolutely not the kind of party everyone else who wants a third party wants. That is why there will be no third party.

 

Right. That's what I was saying. I want it to be my third party, reflecting my precise worldview which, of course, is the correct one.

 

There's nothing snowflake about it. We need leaders, not politicians.

 

Someone who is not good at politics isn't going to be a very good leader of a political system.

 

Georgia: Trump +1

Strange days indeed.

WSB-TV poll: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton in a statistical tie in Georgia | Political Insider blog

 

The media is going to promote Gary Johnson like never before.

He'll get free media, be included in polls, and there will be calls for him to be included in the debates.

 

Little different numbers here.

NBC/WSJ/Marist battleground polling over past 2 months:
FL: Clinton 49, Trump 41
OH: Clinton 48, Trump 42
PA: Clinton 54, Trump 39

 

That's over two months, though. I'm not sure what the Quinnipiac time frame was, but my instinct was that it was more recent.

EDIT: Looks like the Quinnipiac polls were from April 27 to May 8. I'm not saying that they'll hold up, but, as of now, I would trust them more than the NBC/WSJ/Marist battleground polls. He's getting a bump as Republicans line up behind the presumptive nominee - and Clinton is getting a lull because Bernie Bros.

 

Biased.
