He's down about 20 points on women. That seems like plenty of suffering to me.

My comment was more on the fact that Rendell was saying that Hillary will win because he (Rendell) believes that since most women are ugly Drumpf's comments will be more hurtful to them. In other words according to Rendell, Hillary will win "the ugly vote."

If I was Hillary, one of the first things I would do is to tell Ed to stop "helping" me.

Yea, my bad. Iirc her camp basically told him to shut the f up after the PA Dem primary :D, haven't seen him anywhere for ages.
 
In news rooms across America, researchers are rubbing their hands in glee at this dumpster fire that just keeps on giving
http://fortune.com/2016/10/04/donald-trump-tax-returns-salary-irs/?xid=time_socialflow_twitter

In 1995, Trump, through corporate entities, collected some $4.8 million from his casino operations.

By far, the oddest thing about Donald Trump’s 1995 tax returns, a portion of which was published by The New York Times on Saturday, is not the massive $916 million loss—some 9,385 times as large as what was taken by the average filer who claimed a similar loss—but this: 1995 was actually a very good year for Trump, perhaps one of the best of his career.

And yet, 1995 is also the year Trump told tax authorities that he lost nearly $1 billion.

It doesn’t seem to add up. Just one example of where Trump’s tax returns seem to conflict with reality: the Republican presidential candidate told the IRS and New York state tax officials that he collected a mere $6,108 in “wages, salaries, tips, etc.” in 1995. Yet, according to financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that same year Trump received $583,333 in compensation from the then-named Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, the company Trump had taken public in the middle of that year. The figure comes from a proxy statement that the company filed in early 1996. The payment is clearly listed as salary for 1995, and it appears to have been paid directly from the company to Trump, and not through one of the corporate entities he controls.

The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment from Fortune as to why the salary figure Trump told the IRS that year is significantly smaller than the amount Trump Hotels said in its financial filing that Trump was paid.

So, who's watching the VP debate tonight?

Will Pence manage to whitewash Trump's act to any extent? Tbh, I haven't seen Kaine in the news at all. Is he adding any value to Clinton?

Should be some entertaining handbags since both Pence and Kaine are both Catholics with polar opposite political views.

So much anti-Trump press coverage now. Had a feeling this would happen as it got closer to the business end of things. Thankfully, most of the American establishment recognise what a colossal disaster Trump would be as president.
 


Probably one of the more under appreciated aspect of this cycle. The GOP can no longer claim the moral highground on patriotism and military services.

Nothing wrong with winning the ugly vote. Nothing at all. Just adds to the growing list of demographic groups that support Hillary!
 
Hey yo man, if Rince Preibus still has a job after the elections I'm sliding into Rosie Huntington Whiteley's DMs on twitter.
 
Being at 50% there in the four-way race is also important.

It's also quite surprising that PA and OH would be so divergent.
 
PA is not slipping away, but the Senate number is decidedly bad. A tie when top of the ticket leads by 10 shows a base problem.

To be more precise, I think he only hosted once as a replacement. The main host was definitely another gent named Roberto Justus, who I don't think has ever run for public office. Doria isn't an anti-establishment candidate like Trump either, he's supported by the current Governor of the state (in a non-Christie sort of way, Governor had his back since the beginning).

I don't think it was a defeat for Temer, because although his party had their own candidate she was never looking too competitive. A more serious defeat for him would've been the Worker's Party candidate getting reelected. It was a weird municipal election, where positions about national issues were a deciding factor even though mayors have no say in them.
 
Who is Willie Horton?

I thought he has done a good job. Nobody anticipated Trump's rise and he has played his cards well. He's a shoo in for retaining his job whatever the results be. He'll just point to Donald Trump winning the primaries and then say he's the right man for the job to pick up the pieces.

OH will probably wind up a toss up. Its not as pro-Hillary because it lacks the massive population center like Philly, which is where she is getting a majority of her votes from.

A prisoner from the 1980s, who was allowed to go home on a furlough by then Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis, and wound up killing again. George Bush I famously made an ad about it which he used to great effect against Dukakis during the 88 elections.
 
There were three critical ads that turned the 88 election towards Bush - Boston Harbor, Willie Horton, and the infamous Dukakis Tank ad.

Philly and its suburbs, to be precise. If Monmouth is right, and I'd bet on them being right given their track record this year, a significant amount of college educated Republicans - women mostly, are splitting ticket for Clinton/Toomey. Also, Ohio has a higher percentage of non college whites, and voting pattern also shows that it's historically one of the redder bellweather states.

 
This Bernie Bro hasn't got his mind out of the primaries yet.



Edit: it's also an explanation so brainless that starving zombies are carefully avoiding it.

They will lose 3 straight elections if Trump loses and there is a train of thought within the Republican party that none of their core candidate could even get a sniff of the ticket in the primaries with the top 3 being Trump, Cruz and Carson for the most part. That party that needs change one way or another and it starts from the top.

But what can Reince Preibus do about the voting population and the 17 other dunderheads who lost against Trump? He's the head of RNC, not the Voting public.
