Golly Gee Willikers! He done gone native! I guess all Americans should vote for Mr. Trump now!

On the growing popularity and influence of Breitbart and synergies with the Trump campaign. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-made-breitbart-great-again/ Breitbart's page views have doubled - coinciding with Trump's political rise. The SPLC States that Breitbart is on its way to becoming "the media arm of the Alt-Right," the white nationalist movement... https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/04/28/breitbartcom-becoming-media-arm-alt-right Again...Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon is now the Trump campaign CEO.

I was referring more to the article itself. I agree that having viable third (or more) parties is a good thing. But I think it's more feasible to enact internal change within the two major parties itself -- like the Sanders and Tea Party insurrections. Though such prospects give centrists frowny faces.

Clearly overstating his (potential) impact on the race.

A) The LA Times poll is only tracking Trump v Clinton head to head. B) The LA Times polls have consistently skewed towards Trump and is the only poll recently that Trump.and the RNC have referenced. C) The LA Times poll has been the only outlier amongst all other polls which have Clinton up 5.8pts in the aggregate heads up against Trump.

Huh? Currentl Medal Count: USA - 94 Great Britain - 55 China - 55 Russia - 42 Japan - 34 If you remove the USA's medals from swimming and gymnastics, the US would still have 49 medals.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/after-campaign-shake-it-s-trump-versus-world-n633046 Wonder if Katy Tur/NBC News is going to join the Washington Post and the NY Times in Trump's banned media blacklist.

Trump campaign doubles down and hires the Executive Chairmam of Breitbart to be the new Campaign CEO. Everyone's favorite Dictator Whisperer - Paul Manafort receives demotion. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-faces-at-top-of-trump-campaign-again/

I'm not a Phelps fan and despite her family being owners of the New York Islanders, I like Ledecky. That said, Phelps is the undisputed biggest name in swimming, if not the Olympics. He is the bigger story and generates a lot more interest and eyeballs.

Yeah, my black friends I talked to when this first started happening was that he's racist and being racist automatically means he has something against black people. Even though, I couldn't ever get an example of it.

This is the only thing I could think of when I see her. Twins.

Now I get it!

Team USA gymnastics isn't out there to impress with their artistry. They are only concerned about winning.medals. So they game the points system.

HOLY #$@%! Wade Van Niekerk broke Michael Johnson's 400m record! ...BLIND FROM LANE 8!!! MJ: 43.18 WVN: 43.03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gNQHIf9EC4 ...from Lane 8.... Lane 8.

Revolutionary War era symbols I like.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue I sorry he's wearing the Gadsen flag. Easily one of the coolest symbols in US history. oddly enough, the gadsden flag is a knock-off o' an earlier minuteman flag... am drawing a blank on the name. 'course we only know the history of the gadsden flag 'cause o' the eeoc kerfuffle. HA! Good Fun! Are you referring to this one? The First Navy Jack? I actually have it up on my wall.

OK. That was good.

Had Yugoslavia not fallen apart it would have been truly an interesting game to watch. Agreed. A united Yugoslavia in '92 could have been one of the greatest non-American national teams of all time - Drazen Petrovic, Vlade Divac, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja. That's one hell of a core. Hell, a combined Yuoglavian team today would be a heavy medal favorite - Milos Teodosic, Nikola Josic, Bojan Bogdanovic, Dario Saric, Mario Hezonja, Goran Dragic, Jusuf Nurkic, Mirza Teletovic, and even Nikola Mirotic may have elected to stick around rather than play for the Spain.

That could be true, but nevertheless, historical third party trends are against this. Ross Perot and Ralph Nader came on much stronger in the beginning only to lose voter share as it gets closer to Election Day. Using a Track & Field metaphor...Johnson isn't going to get a negative split the second half of the race compared to the first. His candidacy never built built enough momentum. Hell you could make the argument that Trump is in fact the Third Party candidate that just happens to have won a major party nomination. And like all third party candidates, they start strong only to fade away as things get closer to the election.

GD, I'm wishing you the best but any scenario where Gary Johnson wins an electoral vote is extremely unlikely. Historically, third party candidates come on strong early but fade away losing momentum...and by election day - among those that said they'll vote third party - a huge chunk will end up voting for a major party candidate anyway. It's already August and Johnson has only reached 13% on only one poll --and that was from July 16th. Of the last seven national polls, he's only hit 10% once. Sorry man, it ain't likely happening. Colorado projections: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/colorado/#plus Utah projections: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/utah/#plus New Mexico projections: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/new-mexico/#plus Trump's odds are getting closer to the point where he's having to chase after a Runner-Runner Gutshot Inside Straight Draw. Based on these projections, your Johnson scenario isn't technically drawing dead, but you'repractically hoping to hit a Four of a Kind (4,100 to 1 odds).

Then this must be the same source that Trump gets his facts from. Which is to say that they are completely inaccurate and have nothing to do with reality. Aggregate polling data tend to get really good about a month after the national conventions. Nate Silver's models have also been historically accurate (factors in the post convention bumps, the state of the economy, and demographics). We're getting closer to that date.

Yeah, me too. I just want to see good basketball. USA's aesthetics are abysmal.

That was for the second Death Star. This is the first.
