Of course no public figure is ever safe, but I'm not spending my time fearful for her life. She has been accused of cold blood murder, and they haven't gotten her yet. There are people out there who would kill Bush for what he did in Iraq. And I know a lot of people who would love to see Trump dead. But with today's security, she should be fine.

These Trump supporters are Twitter thugs. They ain't bout it.

It feels different this time. Obama and Bush never had opponents who incited violence in unhinged rally speeches, etc.

NBC moves some states to lean Dem and toss up:

Clinton ahead in North Carolina and there's a virtual tie in Ohio, per new NBC/WSJ/Marist polls

The results from the new polls we released yesterday afternoon: In North Carolina, Clinton gets support from 45% of likely voters, Trump gets 41%, and Libertarian Gary Johnson gets 9%. (The Green Party's Jill Stein didn't qualify to make the ballot in the state.) In a two-way race, Clinton's lead expands to five points, 48%-43%. In Ohio, Trump holds a one-point advantage over Clinton among likely voters, 42%-41%, with Johnson at 9% and Stein at 4%, although that margin is inside the poll's margin of error. Clinton and Trump are tied in a two-way race in the Buckeye State -- 45% to 45%. By the way, a national Fox poll released yesterday has Clinton with a seven-point lead.

Minding the gender, racial, educational, and age gaps

Looking inside our new North Carolina and Ohio polls, they show the familiar gaps when it comes to gender, race, education, and age.

Among men

NC: Trump 48%, Clinton 40%
OH: Trump 52%, Clinton 38%

Among women

NC: Clinton 55%, Trump 39%
OH: Clinton 51%, Trump 39%

Among whites

NC: Trump 55%, Clinton 36%
OH: Trump 52%, Clinton 38%

Among African Americans

NC: Clinton 89%, Trump 4%
OH: Clinton 91%, Trump 4%

Among whites with college degrees

NC: Clinton 47%, Trump 43%
OH: Clinton 48%, Trump 42%

Among whites without college degrees

NC: Trump 65%, Clinton 27%
OH: Trump 58%, Clinton 31%

Among 18-29 year olds

NC: Clinton 51%, Trump 31%

OH: Clinton 48%, Trump 38%

Go, Hillary!

Dems do better than polling averages in Nevada. Remember that!

on-topic: am I the only one who is genuinely worried about civil unrest/mass rioting after 8 november if trump loses and clinton wins?? these trump supporters in the USA are so brash and out loud… they are so impassioned and fervent about this election.

trump has successfully implanted the idea into his supporters that he's not losing because of maths, logic, basic reasoning, and common sense. he has also successfully implanted the idea into his supporters that, if he loses the election, it's not because people didn't want him. he has implanted the idea into his supporters that if he loses it's a mistake and that he's a/the victim.

I am seriously concerned and worried that if he loses, that during the following days of the election, his dregs of supporters will come up and start to riot and make a fuss… when they face the reality that the majority of this nation is not for him and are stressed out by trump's campaign.

all of this.

I don't think its a coincidence those Kansas terrorists were planning to bomb those refugees the day after election day

That is true but I think some of these people would've expressed it anyway. We're just only paying attention because Trump's actually one of them.

Jill retweeted that Hillary wants to start WIII and the net wasn't having it. The gif of Jill being a cuckoo clock with West being the cuckoo going in and out of her forehead

Good thing Hillary will be getting to work in the White House!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary goes silent between Nov 9-Inauguration Day. Those Cabinet positions and policy proposals won't be getting through by themselves.

I hope she emphasizes that she's working hard with Kaine, the Obama's, Bernie, and Warren to make her first 100 days great.

Michael McDonald ‏@ElectProject 4m4 minutes ago
In GA, the spike of women requesting ballots starts on Thursday the week of the first debate, in NC it occurs on that Friday

Michael McDonald ‏@ElectProject now
Something motivated GA and NC women to become more engaged after the first debate. I wonder what it was...

If people got off their ass you could flip

Gov Bevin was supposed to lose by a landslide and Kentucky keep up the Democrat Governorship, but he won with such low turnout (30%)

Honestly, I have to vote for this women. If I vote for Johnson or Stein it would just give Trump a lead.
But she is so extremely fake and phony. Like its gross...

This logic that Democrats keep using makes literally zero sense.

A vote for Johnson or Stein is not a vote for Trump.....it's a vote for Johnson or Stein, and neither of those votes add up towards Trump's vote count.

Not all 3rd party voters are Bernie-or-Busts protesting Hillary. If anything voting 3rd party is moreso comparable to just simply not voting at all.

There is no excuse to be uninformed. Most people who are uninformed are the same ones spreading conspiracy theories every day on social media.

Or worse, they spend hours a day watching Fox News and think that that's the same as being informed.

Wouldn't be surprised. I really hope that Donald somehow gets stuck talking about the implosion of the GOP for a while. The moderator had better ask about it, because it's a big deal to be at war with your own party in the days leading up to the election.

I imagine that there will be a victory lap of tv appearances, but I too hope that she'll dedicate the time to preparing for her time in office.

Also, her inauguration ceremony should be kept short-ish... Wouldn't want her catching pneumonia again.
