I'm Sick Of All The Yay-Sayers

We Don't Got This People

This is fucking scary and the #'s are way too close

I agree with Bill Maher - We are watching a slow motion republican coup take place in real time

A faction of the federal government (The FBI) and a foreign nation (Russia) are working to take control of our country

Thank god minorities are saving the US's bacon.

HRC's first job is cleaning up the anti-democracy forces massing to take down the US.

- Supreme court
- Voting Rights reforms
- Redistricting reforms (Obama wants to focus on that)
- Gutting Citizens united
- Complete overhaul of the FBI and most security service
- A deep look a the media
- Turning the fucking screw on Putin,
lock the Oligarch in their own countries and bankrupt them.
- Some people call her a hawk, but sometimes that's what you need.
- Do we want a Chamberlain or a Churchill leading us.

- Making sure she's got a strategy for the 2018 elections so she's not hamstrung by losing the senate.

Same here. This really has been a long campaign season. It's exhausting.

in 2012 in almost every category.

It has been that way since Spring. Even when there is an occasional top line lead for Trump, dig on level down and you find the truth.

Now, it's all about turnout and GOTV and we know Trump has almost no GOTV effort.

What does that tell you?

With some variations among who turns-up at the polls, HRC should do as well, or slightly better than Obama '12, but maybe not quite as well as Obama '08.

I haven't felt this sure about a win since 1996. Ironically, when another Clinton was on the ballot.
