Things are so bad on the Republican side that they are even talking about ensuring that they protect Congress from Trump fallout. I don't see how, but If the Democrats manage to get control of Congress the GOP will be close to dying.

Did Trump answer any questions besides the last one? He deflected the sexual assault question onto ISIS.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that. It's still terrible, though. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/11/21/7-charts-that-explain-the-undocumented-immigrant-population/ The majority of illegal immigrants have been in the US for over 10 years, which means they are more than settled and a significant percentage have progeny that was born in the US.

First, they are not charges, they are recorded fact. Second and more important, his supposed policies regarding immigration and foreign policy are stupid and naive at best. At worst his proposed policies are racist and dangerous to America and the world at large. Build a wall and deport all Muslims come to mind. Trump never suggested deporting all muslims (or any muslims), and a wall hardly sounds dangerous to the world. http://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/10/05/vice-presidential-debate-mike-pence-v-donald-trump-origwx-allee.cnn Enjoy.

Other than the whole naive, kumbaya feel of the quote, what's wrong with it? Sounds like something Sanders and Stein supporters would get behind of.

Trump did something my 9 year old learned to do 2 years ago. So impressive.

I've posted the recording itself here, and it's not at all like you are portraying it. Hillary has enough flaws for people to complain about without misrepresenting something she said or did 30 years ago.

That's the chance of winning according to 538's model for analyzing polls. But yes, Clinton is currently leading in most swing states according to polling so the chance of her losing the election right now is fairly low.

Does EA have an ice skating game? If not, that should be the title.

I'm not sure why, but a certain epic thread about the likelihood of a very improbable event ever happening just showed up among my memories.

Palin was an exceptionally bad VP candidate, though. Pence and Kaine are, on their respective sides, safe, middle of the road guys.

It's not so much about who "won" but more about how the debate gets analyzed. From what I understand one of the reasons Pence "won" is that he was decidedly Untrumpian and even said things that are opposite to what Trump has said before. The main example I saw was the subject of Russia and Putin, where Pence had no problems criticizing Putin and the situation with Crimea. This would be taken to heart in a positive way by Trump if he was an intelligent human. Instead I'd wager that he'll feel like doubling down on his Trumpiness will be the response. Like that tweet seems to indicate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZOWItkanDs

The article is there for people to read. As I understand it he tried to veto just about everything and he privatized the state's prisons.

Johnson wasn't a very good governor, apparently.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html I'm sure someone will posit that him having losses 900 million in one year and still being around as a business is a sign of what a shrewd mind he has.

That's a pretty good video, with a clear, well reasoned explanation of who Trump is. Trump is only a troll in the sense of idiot forum posters who write something stupid and then, when challenged on it, turn to the "I'm totally just a troll" defense. In any case, why anyone would want a troll as president is beyond me.

Haha. Kind of like how truth has a well known liberal bias. The video is there for you to listen to.

No, just the one time in 1980-something where she laughed about the legal particulars of a rape case. http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/

Yeah, 60-70% is way, way too optimistic. I mean which Libertarian principles would be the first out the door? Would you be okay with a libertarian party that kept the Fed and the IRS mostly as they are, for example?

US's electoral system is what it is. There are very good reasons to hate a two party system, but you are not getting a relevant third party unless the system is changed. The only way the libertarian party gets a place at the table is if one of the main parties chokes and dies so that the Libertarians take its place. But of course, if that happens, the libertarian party will be quickly morphed into a moderate, bastardized version of itself which I have to assume you'd hate. Lose first-past-the-post, gerrymandering and the electoral college and then, maybe, diverse points of views will be somewhat represented in the US's political system.

The insanity continues here.
