The polls…
…don’t appear to have changed much as a result of the Comey reveal. That’s what I expected. But I think the situation is still very much in flux. If more revelations come out, I’m not sure what will happen. And … Continue reading →

Further thoughts on this election and my vote
You may notice that I’m posting today, something I don’t usually do on Sundays. Well, first of all, I’m sick. I have a nasty cold. So my energy level for doing other more fun things (although what could be more … Continue reading →
Congress could save the US from the nightmare of this election
I have an idea, although no one will take me seriously and I don’t delude myself that it’s going to happen. Each party hates its own nominee and feels him/her to be an albatross around its neck. So whoever wins … Continue reading →
Comey’s choice
Today there’s a lot more news about FBI director James Comey’s announcement of the discovery of more Hillary Clinton emails that require further investigation. What we know now—some of it from undisclosed sources—is that the emails appear to have been … Continue reading →
I have a question for those who think Trump is the Master Persuader
In the third debate, there was a moment when Trump muttered “nasty woman” in response to Hillary. Let’s not even worry about what she had said or done prior to that, or whether his remark about her was justified. For … Continue reading →
Trump and Clinton: policy and character
Yesterday Trump outlined a policy to help black Americans. Here’s his speech on the subject. Too bad few people are listening. And, as I’ve said before, they’re not listening because Trump is not trusted. And not just not trusted by … Continue reading →
Congress, the Hillary Clinton presidency, and the nuclear option
This post posits what is of course still a hypothetical: a Hillary Clinton presidency. We don’t know that she will be elected. It is not impossible that Trump could win the whole thing. It is just highly unlikely, and I … Continue reading →
Early voting in Florida: fun with statistics
You can have a lot of fun with statistics. At Gateway Pundit, an extremely pro-Trump blog, there’s a post entitled, “YUGE! Trump Leads Early Voting in Florida By 120,000 ”“ A First For Republicans in The State” [hat tip: Artfldgr]. … Continue reading →
The Trump candidacy has been a learning experience, hasn’t it?
A while back, commenter “Bill” had this to say: One of the jarring things for me during this awful year is that I’m beginning to understand what it’s like to be a man without a party. I always was right … Continue reading →
They told me to get over it, and I did
They told me to get over it. Trump is the nominee, suck it up, get with the program, shut up about it. And so I finally did, sort of (all except those last two bits). Not only that, but I’ve … Continue reading →
On polling for Election 2016
It is absolutely the case that individuals polls are often wrong. But poll averages—while sometimes wrong—are more seldom wrong in terms of the general trend for candidates, win or lose. And the poll averages over time are almost never wrong. … Continue reading →
Is Trump’s refusal to say he’d accept the results of the election the only thing that happened on earth today?
One would think so. The MSM frame is that Trump has “contempt for democracy.” Not to nitpick, but if Trump really thinks that the election is rigged, his refusal to accept its results would show respect for democracy. Just sayin’. … Continue reading →
