US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

Shhh. That is one for secret handshake

On the radio (ABC Radio National Breakfast of course, me and three other listeners, two of which are members of parliament) this morning they played a robo call from Utah about Evan Mcmullin from a white nationalist group which went something like this “Hello, my name is Mr Racist Man, I am a farmer, a white nationalist and a supporter of Donald J Trump. Evan Mcmullin will be a disaster for Utah, he will throw our borders open, his two mommies are open lesbians, which Evan endorses. Evan Mcmullin is a single male in his forties with no children, I believe he is a closet homosexual. Vote Trump.”

Good jesus, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised, but this is the standard is it? @anon7035031 have you been inundated with these robo calls?
Mcmullin of course was too busy working on the security of his country as a CIA operative (or, more likely fucking up other countries) to find a woman and settle down in his 20’s and 30’s, but hey, he’s a closet homo, so that doesn’t count.
He’s within the margin of error in Utah, which is of course a state with a large Mormon population, while GOP supporting, the Mormon’s are not fond of the Orangutang. Trump supporters shitting themselves about him now, would be some gas if he won the state.

I don’t live in Utah, pal
I would imagine though you know all about white supremacy living in that racist shithole

Steady on love.
Have you been getting many calls from the candidates?

Thankfully no, it helps not to have a landline
No campaigning going on in CA, Hillary will win in a landslide
The pinkos here are oblivious to the suffering in most of the country

Who are you voting for yourself? (I’m sure you’ve said it on this thread, but I really don’t want to have to read back through it)

Johnson/Weld. Not that it matters much, but it dovetails nicely with prop 64 (legalizing recreational marijuana). I would prefer a pothead in the White House who doesn’t know where Aleppo is, to someone who could start a world war over Aleppo.

Guys, something very interesting with the early voting totals !!!

In the key states, the GOP vote is way up from previous elections.

Also, where the dems had been ahead in early voting in previous elections, the GOP are actually leading.

The drop off has been heavier for the democrats, this is bad news for Clinton.

Is it too late for the Democrats to replace Hillary with George Clooney or Alec Baldwin?

Or Lindsey Carter😉

Now this is something that will do real damage to Clinton and the Democrats. The next four years are going to be a shit storm the likes of which the US has never seen.

Only people that live in battleground states get robo calls and are inundated with every second ad on Telly being a campaign ad. People that live in states that are a foregone conclusion, like CA, won’t even see ads on TV. Neither candidate would waste their money. But the poor fuckers in the battleground states are probably counting the minutes till it’s all over.

Trump will win it seems . Similar to breggsit .

You could be a rich man so. 5/2 on a sure thing in a two horse race is printing money.

Any of the bookies who have already paid out on Clinton are really going to love this one if it happens

Trump continues to strengthen in the financial markets.

Up to 28% now from 16% a week ago.

According to nate at 538 Clinton is 70% likey to win to Trump’s 30,if there was 3 more weeks trump might catch her but it looks like he won’t have enough time. It really is beginning to look like the Simpsons edition where kodos and kang kidnapped dole and Clinton.

Good article here.

The Watergate comparisons have been rightly ridiculed by John Dean, who was jailed for his part in the cover up, and also by Carl Bernstein on CNN last night.
