Today I got up and did some analysis. I watched Steve Kornacki last night on "The 11th Hour" showing Trump's "path" and he just couldn't get there. I did the same thing this morning. I want it to be a blowout. I don't think it will be, but the electoral college is not likely to be close (David Plouffe is downright giddy). I see it as in the 313-343 range. Even if you give Trump EVERY SWING STATE, he still loses 272-267. Try it yourself.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Okay, I literally laughed out loud at this one: "You know it's going to be so much better when he begins to focus on the real issues." Ben Carson. Seriously!? The election is a month from now. Focus? Real issues? What planet do you inhabit?

Ben has some serious case of time-delay syndrome. It probably explains why he always seems so sleepy.

I think the Trump Foundation revelations and the Cuba thing will have real impacts. That is "real" corruption. Unfortunately, the Cuba deal is beyond the statute of limitations and some could argue the Foundation mess is civil. So I doubt Trump gets any jail time. He managed to turn rape of a 13 year old girl into a civil matter. It's amazing what you can get away with when you have enough money.

soooo ... the election is rigged
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

Dr Carson in my humble opinion was absolutely the worst Republican candidate this cycle. He had absolutely no grasp of the issues and almost everything he said was irrational.
However, he did say one thing which was and remains true and valid. Anyone who holds their religion above the Constitution has no business running for office. At the time he of course did not realize it applied to him as well ergo the worst.

Jeebus. This has turned into the first twitter flame war presidential election. I suppose it was only a matter of time, but I'm still a little shocked. Linky So when the Trump campaign is being hit with bad news on multiple fronts the Hillary campaign is putting up an obvious target in an obvious challenge on Trump's home turf..... ![[Linked Image from eonline.com]](http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2016827/rs_330x373-160927121901-deb-10.gif)

Oh and I'd best leave this here Donald Trump Appeared In A 2000 Playboy Softcore Porn I'm no longer quite sure this election season isn't all just some weird dream.

Trump recants pledge to accept a Clinton win Donald Trump said on Friday that he would not necessarily accept the results of the presidential election in the event that Hillary Clinton defeats him, reversing his statement four days earlier that he would “absolutely” respect them.
After the first presidential debate on Monday, the Republican nominee told reporters “absolutely I would” honor the results of the election should he lose. In an interview with the New York Times on Friday, he backtracked: “We’re going to have to see. We’re going to see what happens. We’re going to have to see.” And what would he do about it? A huge storm of late night tweeting, nasty tweeting like has never been seen in the history of politics?
