CBS Poll: Trump 44, Clinton 43. Don't get complacent! Donate, Volunteer, Microtarget, Register!

Let's not have a close game. We don't want edge-of-our-seat.

We want a blowout. Over at halftime. Headed for the parking lot before the 4th Quarter. Whatever, let's just get it done.

Has there been a single poll this year not assuming white turnout to be significantly higher? CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #1
We can't get into the weeds with that though piechartking Jul 2016 #2
Not saying there isn't a bump, but before we panic, shouldn't we see if the polls are realistic? CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #3

Once you go the "unskew" polls route, you're really going down the rabbithole. Both CBS and CNN polls show him ahead, so he no doubt got a bump.

Let's not let this be Kerry 04.

Like if you notice, since the Comey announcement, there's been pronounced movement in his favor, topped off by this week.

Before that, there was movement toward him when he got the nomination.

What Hillary has to do is, starting with this week, create a cascade and feedback loop of good news for us, bad news for him.

Bad news for him means, everyday he needs to be unhinged. We need to provoke him (Putin's Guy, Don Donald (mafia ties), ADD Donald (no attention span), etc. Hit him with personal stuff that he'll not be able to resist. (Trust me, he can't resist)

Angry white voters, many, many of them. Many, many women who would set themselves on fire rather than vote for Hillary.
And then, I'm moving.
