US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

That’s John Dean and Kathy Sheridan who think it’s nothing like Watergate.

Clearly Clinton is favoured in the presidential spreads. Trump needs a lot of swing states to go in his favour.

Although, Wall Street is a lot less certain of a Clinton victory than the presidential spreads seem to indicate.

Momentum seems to be in Trump’s favour. There is a protest vote out there and and combined with the disillusioned dem voters who may stay at home, this could swing everything in his favour.

Election Day is going to be fun.

These new email revelations are exciting the media and some of trumps base and the Alex Jones brigade but I’d say most voters are sick of their shit of hearing about them and can’t wait to get next Tuesday out of the way.

Looks like the shit may be about to hit the fan for the Donald.

Old news chief. Won’t matter a flicker.

Not old news.

Well put it this way. It won’t be the reason he looses if he does loose

Oh the Donald is loose alright.

No denying that. I won’t be up for the press conference as I need my beauty sleep. But the allegations against him just seem to have a less negative effect on him.

Delicate timing to say the least, given the woman had 22 years to make the allegation, and child sexual assault is taken very seriously. This is old news, she had previously filed a lawsuit and it was dismissed by a court in May. Her new attorney, Lisa Bloom, is Gloria Allred’s daughter, yes, that Gloria Allred.

Holding a press conference and exposing the identity of her client is typical Allred/Bloom tactics, to put pressure on for a settlement (think the various mistresses of Tiger Woods).

Any rational and sane person would say fight the fucking case in court, if you have a case, and not in the press.

The black vote may not come out for Hillary in the same numbers as they did for Obama four years ago according to Emily Maitlis on Newsnight.

Emily is a bit shook looking.

Even if Hillary does win next week, it’s great to see the liberal media shitting themselves about The Donald winning this week.

Really? What a surprise

I think Hillary is in trouble lads. Contrary to what someone else said above I think the short time is to his advantage. Nice short window keep the focus on hillarys emails and just don’t do anything stupid. A huge ask for Trump obviously.
God the Democrats and Republicans have made some balls of this. Imagine the republicans had picked someone palatable in any way. They’d be romping home. Bernie Sanders would have destroyed Trump as well.
There’s a lot of people fed up in this world and we’ve seen some weird things happen as a result. A pirate party potentially taking power in Iceland being the latest example

Shiver me timbers!,There’s a serious amount of discontent in the western world alright. The proles are finally waking up. The interesting thing is the direction the anger and frustration takes over the next decade. Sanders and trump are great examples of the direction it could go. Both tapped in to that anger but point to completely opposite directions to go in.

She has the superior ground game which should still swing it.

Polls are still not good enough for Trump and with nearly 30 million people having already voted time is running out.

The bare maths of the electoral college are still difficult for him.

Clinton really only needs one of Florida, North Carolina or Ohio to be almost certain of winning.

Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire appear to be holding reasonably firmly for Clinton.

In that case Trump needs all of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa and must get 8 more electoral college votes to get to 270, meaning he probably also has to flip Colorado.

Alternatively, if Trump lost Colorado but won Nevada (6) and got one electoral college vote from Maine (one vote is awarded for the popular vote winner in each of the two electoral districts there in addition to 2 votes for the statewide winner) he could force a tie and likely be elected by the House in January.

George Foreman is voting Trump.

To make this election more interesting for neutrals like myself, I think @Sidney should agree to quit the forum if Trump wins and @ProjectX should quit if Clinton wins.

How about it lads?
