Can Michelle Obama hit the trail every day from now until November?

More importantly, can we have an event between Michelle and Hillary together where they recreate the Obama-Clinton embrace at the convention?

[Orpheus]

It's official that Hillary and Donald will be the only candidates on stage at the first debate.

Breitbart hitting new low. They're just pissed their conspiracy theory was disavowed.

I think it's unfair if Johnson and Stein aren't invited to the debates and reinforces the two-party system and discourages Americans from exercising their Constitutional right to third parties and have the issues that they support ignored.

Oh well.

Johnson and Stein are one of the reasons Hillary is so low with millennials, no way the media will give them a platform. If I were Trump, I would refuse to go unless they are invited.

Good. We've been a two-party system for centuries.

Third parties have spoiled elections in dozens of election cycles.

Before yesterday Clinton was absent from the campaign trail for nearly four days. One of the last times she was seen which was played repeatedly on networks was when she nearly collapsed into her car. Trump had a free reign to set the agenda and he could still only get the race to a tie. Weak.

It's clear he damaged himself too much in the primaries, not knowing that the general is a completely different electorate. If he does win, it won't be by majority vote.

If you're a suburban white man, I doubt you'll really get it. But like a good 80% of black people truly believe Trump is racist, and if anyone knows racism when they see it, it's us.

Has nothing to do with being liberal. Most black people are religious and moderate in comparison to other groups in the Democratic party. Funny we'll be his undoing on Nov 8.

The narrative that blacks are so scared of Trump and will turn out to "stop the racist" will cost the Dems in November if that's their game plan.
Black turnout will be historically low (Hispanics #s are already disappointing as well as most are starting to see.)

[BlueTimberwolf]

I just think the 15% threshold is unfair and arbitrary. Who are they to decide who gets a public hearing? We have four major candidates this election.

Honestly, if the media and major parties are trying to muzzle the third-parties, IMO that's only going to reinforce the choice of third party voters. Treating third-party voters as though they're wayward partisans who are acting out and need to be brought into line is where the Clinton camp is failing miserably.

[King Maxx]

Actually tbh. If anyone gets on the stage, it's Gary.

Jill has like 2% and isn't on every ballot. She is that annoying fly in the room.

1) That's not what I said
2) That's not Hillary's strategy.
3) Turnout will only be low only if millennials completely stay home. Middle age black women will turnout in record numbers. Bookmark me. In this day and age, it's kind of hard to be "historically low" when they are a bigger portion of the electorate.

All the third parties have been welcomed by the networks. They have had town halls, interviews, etc., even of FOX News. It's clear that their support is not registering as it should be.

It's kind of impossible for them to go from 2% to 40% in 50 days.

I'm well aware they don't have a chance at winning, I'm saying that if Clinton wants to increase her lead, she could at least try winning over third-party voters and capitalize off their issues instead of ignoring them.

[Jacketh]

This is peak Trump. Even if he takes Ohio, Nevada and Florida, he isn't at 270. I'm struggling to see what else he can flip. PA? Michigan? Nah.

Kinda tragic for Clinton its this close though...

[LuLuDrops]

Bernie continues making the case for Hillary

What's their concerns? Hillary and Dems don't agree with the actual Libertarian policies, and for the ones protesting, they are protesting HER.

Like Hillary has nothing to gain from actually talking about him. I was surprised when she made fun of the Aleppo comment because that was the first time she acknowledge a third party candidate.

tbh I think acting like hillary WILL win will probably backfire on us. I mean, we kind of have brexit as an example; everyone thought the UK would stay in but voici.

I think we should always act like she's losing whenever she decreases more than just a bit, so people end up getting more incentive to put in some work.

pokémon go to the voting boothsT

anyways, breitbart. I will never understand how they have a sizeable audience

The number is indeed arbitrary, but it is already set. I find it a tad annoying when people try to argue the rules when the game is already in play, change them beforehand. There has to be some sort of a threshold in place in my opinion.

We've seen even in the primaries when there was such a large field on the GOP side, there were essentially two debates based on level of support.

I hope people stop comparing Brexit to us. We're simply looking at state polls and voting history.

We've seen this before. Democrats ARE scared of Trump, but we have voting history to show where we need to work on. Brexit was something weird that never happened before. Even then, didn't polls show it close?
