Apparently Putin is going to keep the emails and then use them to blackmail Hillary as President.

It's better than what the Republicans seem to be moving towards - subtle, indirect endorsement of discrimination, as well as explicit endorsement via there two ticket leaders.

Just watched the third Purge movie and it reminded me so much of Trump and his supporters.

'Despite public polling showing Romney behind Obama in the swing states of Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and New Hampshire, tied with Obama in Virginia, and just barely ahead of Obama in Florida, the Romney campaign said they were genuinely surprised by the loss, having believed that public polling was oversampling Democrats. The Romney campaign had already set up a transition website, and had scheduled and purchased a fireworks display to celebrate in case he won the election.
On November 30, 2012, it was revealed that shortly before the election, internal polling done by the Romney campaign had shown Romney ahead in Colorado and New Hampshire, tied in Iowa, and within a few points of Obama in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Ohio. In addition, the Romney campaign had assumed that they would win Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. The polls had made Romney and his campaign team so confident of their victory that Romney did not write a concession speech until Obama's victory was announced.'

I'm ready for all the movies having female presidents. Some already have this year alone.

Welp. Glad Hillary got that Obama team in her campaign. And no time for them mistakes.
Her team is so confident in Colorado they pulled ad spending.

President Romney sounds so much better than President Trump/Mike Pence. I would have said the same for McCain but he had to introduce us nationally to the crazy then known as the form of Sarah Palin.

At this rate we need to #DumpTrump and get the GOP to rally behind Johnson. |
I heard trump voters are not vocal about voting for him, while giving these surveys. So I feel they are not accurate. And after brexit I'm really shook.

This is why - and I don't care what side, either one - you don't trust internal polling over external sources. Do it, see what it can tell you, focus on states where your own polling still says you're weak, but never assume you're in a good place because it's better than the other polls.
Lord I hope Hillary doesn't do that, or get to comfortable with having some red states polling close.

To be fair I think that's, like, really intentional. That and the whole anti-establishment theme and female candidate.

I hope people stop saying this. That's Trump supporters trying to say the polls with Hillary ahead is false which is simply not true.

I can't believe how insanely he's destroyed his campaign this past week. It's incredible.

I just wanna know, if Clinton wins in a landslide (lbr Trump will feel the wrath of white moderate women voters this November), can Trump still claim it was rigged?
It's why us Bernard stans can't claim the primary was rigged since he lost by a huge amount.

Trump can and will say whatever he wants. I actually can't imagine Trump giving a concession speech

Go ahead. Hillary will probably have him poisoned by a spy in his administration anyways.

Have there even been any concessions speeches this year at all? I feel like nobody has properly conceded.
