If Trump is destined to lose, I would rather he lose by a huge margin than a small one. Much rather.

And I would rather the GOP retain Congress, which would not only give them some tools to stop Hillary (if they can bring themselves to use them), but would also make it clear that Trump didn’t lose because people are against the right.

Not so fun to roll out those numbers anymore.

As mentioned before, those trends were an invalid use of statistical modeling.

Obama has been changing the electorate with great effect. We may be headed for one party rule which is the case already in most big cities. That’s the objective. I believe Churchill said the advantage of socialism is it spreads misery evenly.

Now that we don’t teach history, people won’t see it coming. Once you enter that system there is no easy exit.

Here is a recent Democrat in black robe ruling extending voter registration time in Florida:

The judge is an Obama appointee.

“the Burn It Down crowd, and of course the Democrats.”

Both are so alike in method and dys-civic themes, the difference is blurred.

If you think there’s no difference between a GOP-controlled Congress and a Dem-controlled one, you haven’t been paying attention.

If Trump supporters liked it when the Gang of Eight was killed, maybe they should be supporting those who killed it, and sending them reinforcements.

However, per RCP, they both seem to indicate likely voters might be splitting their vote – a very good thing, indeed.

They just need to show up to the polls.
