***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[whywesteppin]

you love living the delusion. at some point that's going to fall apart.

and **** the conservatives who are pulling support on trump after the tapes. like his dozens of other insults against every other group was ok. like they were too stupid to see who trump really was based on what he said, not in private, but in front of millions of people for the past 15 months. we've known who he is. the reckoning is coming.

At least ninjahood still out chea fighting the losing battle , he ain't quit on the team like the other knuckleheads that's been in this thread

 

[ninjahood]

all political pundits of all sides of da spectrum said Trump's performance at da debates "stopped da bleeding" which tips da hat to fact at how effective he was.

lmao how low you're standards have gotten.

"he didn't get completely washed out of the election!...WIN!"

he was supposed to be washed out because of da tape and survived under da gun with a strong debate performance.

everyone has conceded that fact.

 

[ninjahood]

and still he's down almost double digits.

he's only down 6 in da real clear average with 4 weeks left and another debate still scheduled... counting chickens too early.

you're banking on t-mac showing up with his 13 points in the last minute.

i guess anything's possible.

I specifically referenced the polls post tape vs post debate. Just for reference Romney was never down more than 3 points at this stage and got washed election day. Drumpf didn't have near the coalition he had and is down double that. You really think ya boy is still going to win? RCP also has Electoral college projections 340-Clinton, 198-Drumpf. That's a washing.

Rofl everyone has conceded that that's a strong debate performance? Who is everyone? They asked him at the start about the tape specifically and he started talking about the importance of defeating ISIS..... Have you been hit in da head b? What is da alternate reality you are living in?

Neither are the websites Trump cites as showing him winning the debate. Can't wait for this man to get dragged through more mud when Trump U trial gets underway.

Very true except da Don keeps himself at the forefront of each new news cycle with one gaffe after another.

They heavily use polls though as inputs to determine this percentage and the predicted outcome.

 

[wavycrocket]

Debate won't have any effect on the vote. He has no substance & he does a great job playing to his base. One only needs to look historically to see debates have little or no effect on presidential elections.

Poor fella keeps saying wait for the nuclear ad blitz, wait for the email leak, wait till labor day, wait for the next email leak, wait till the first debate, wait for the next email leak, wait for the second debate, wait for the next email leak, wait for the haymaker on the third debate...

A grown man living at home with moms has given the poor fella such a false sense of reality...

still not a poll though.

regardless, plenty of time left and Hillary still has a major enthusiasm gap.. perhaps proclaiming it a "landslide" is brexit-esque in its intended factoring in turnout as well as da aforementioned.

this isn't a poll though

538 bases its predictions off polling data (actual scientific polls) amongst other things. You were happy to cite them when Trump was still close but now they're not relevant? 

And online polls are meaningless, whether they show Hillary or Trump winning the debate. I could vote in them hundreds of times if I wanted to and I live on the other side of the ocean. If I ran a script I could probably vote thousands of times in a day

Trump and Hillary are tied in Utah :x

Why would any of those people think that trump is going to help them if those are their complaints?

Are you implying Trump isn't more divisive with an even larger "enthusiasm gap?"

The top of it says chances of winning - obviously not a poll. It's called one of the major factors of the calculation is clearly polls. So I'm asking a serious question.

We paying attention to polls yet? [emoji]129300[/emoji] When do we start taking them seriously? We just wrapped up the 2nd debate and your boy is looking worse and worse by the day [emoji]128514[/emoji]

I was living in Utah when it was Clinton vs Obama back before the 08 elections.... The fact that it is close in Utah is the most damning thing about drumpf's campaign.

stop it. the 538 projection is based on polls, which Trump hasn't won one in weeks.

the last time Trump won a poll after adjusting for bias was a CNN poll from July 22-24.

this would be the time to panic.
