I-1631 (Carbon fee initiative) not doing well in WA

That's kind of depressing. I had pinned some small measure of hope on that.

The polls haven't moved for many, many weeks

Far too many people here look at individual polls. Look at the average:



It swings up and down but the trend has been a strong Dem lead for a long time.

Why do so few users here not understand that single polls don't mean much?

It’s the poll average that matters. Don’t people get that yet?

Heads up for a potentially interesting event

Pay attention to @VickerySec on twitter over the next few hours.

It might be nothing. But there are “rumors on the internet.”

OK SD27 is looking at a 40 pt Dem swing

We won’t win but it’s gone from +73R on e-day to around +33R tonight with 48% precincts reporting.

Crazy theory: Gowdy told Schiff

That Nunes altered his memo.

God I hope this is true.

Suspect that Wray found something in memo

That was actionable against McCabe.

Could be nefarious on a Wray’s part, or McCabe’s part or simply misleading enough to cause the FBI headaches.

(On edit Since some people can’t suss out these several options here they are in detail)


I’ll clarify the options for your benefit

1) It’s possible Wray is a bad actor.
2) It’s possible McCabe is a bad actor. If so it’s probably a paper handling level error but one the Rs can demogogue. Have to acknowledge the possibility
3) It’s also possible that entirely disingenuous allegations are more trouble than its worth for the FBI.
