(24,396 posts)All it does at this point is project the idea that Ds ARE complacent.
We should retire the "don't get complacent" talk and start talking about the gains we're going to make in the Congress.

(3,163 posts)Was expecting a nice swing but not that big of a swing. That LA Times poll really needs to rethink their methodology.
Charles Bukowski
(1,132 posts)The controversy with the Khans will not go away.

(19,066 posts)He directed his surrogates to call them terrorists today. Sickening to see this family attacked like this and to see Trump by proxy try to insult an American Hero, they've called Captain Khan a terrorist. I hope Trump speaks those words rather than just has his people do it for him.

(264 posts)I can't remember the last time Hillary went over 50%.
Her team will proceed like they are 9 behind. No prevent defense with this team.

(24,568 posts)I am almost 70 and I have never seen an election this consequential. It's more than loving Hillary, the alternative is such a disaster that we MUST move heaven and earth to GOTV!

(11,257 posts)Two months from today I will be 64. This is going to be our defining moment. We. can. not. lose. this. Honestly. I don't think we will, yet we have to fight tooth and nail to GOTV!

(16,399 posts)Getting over 50% means more to me than double digits.

(13,340 posts)... Don the Con will NOT like being on the negative end of such a trend. I expect the stupid to get amplified. Wonder if the USC poll will actually pull to HRC or if their panel is is just that off. We'll see I guess.

(22,670 posts)It's good news, but REALLY!? 43% of those polled STILL support Drumpf and the GOP?
This election needs to be an referendum about what we value in this country and who we are as a nation. It's time to mock and shame these people who cannot catch up with decency.
Do not mock! Keep talking, keep reasoning, even if it looks like it's falling on deaf ears. These people will still be part office country going forward. I know, they live in an alternative reality, but we need to reach them one by one.

(22,670 posts)By shaming, I'm appealing to what they feed on, which are slogans intended to shame liberals and democrats. It may not persuade them to vote for Hillary and may not prevent them from voting for Rush, I mean, Trump, but it's a form of communication they understand. I think it's the best shot I have at turning them off to voting or breaking through on their level.
Because as they've told me in the past, they like to think when they are voting that they are cancelling my vote out. Reason with that.

(4,558 posts)Really, wtf does it take for conservatives realize what a shitty choice they've saddled themselves with??
I get why their misguided ignorance, stupidity, and selfishness leads them to not want to support Hillary, but Trump.. Their candidate is against almost all of the crap they normally gobble up!
He insults the families and marginalizes dead heroic soldiers.
The man's been divorced 3 f'n times.. Isn't that whole "defense of family values" their primary schtick?
They're the party that f'n loves money.. Yet they remain devouted to the one who's been bankrupt multiple times, failed many businesses, and refuse to switch to the one that has had great financial success.
They're the party of xenophobes, yet now adore the candidate with the foreign born 4th wife.
They're the party of "morals".. Yet line up for the one married to the woman who's done pornographic photos, and owned strip clubs and casino's.
Personally I don't give a flying fuck about the divorces, or the foreign nature of the wife, or the porn, or the strip clubs.. But that is supposed to be stuff that they profess to require of candidates.
I'm astounded how this clown that they've selected for their candidate is still getting 43%. I just don't get it.
