Trump loses grip on Ohio

[RandySF]

Operatives and officials on the ground in both parties say that Trump’s controversies involving women further intensified his already-steep challenge with white suburban college-educated voters, long a Republican stronghold (in fact, one of Trump’s accusers is from Ohio and has generated local coverage of her allegations). Moderate Republicans — particularly women — who had been moving grudgingly toward accepting the nominee have stopped in their tracks.

One of them is Traci Saliba, a Republican activist from Delaware County, in suburban Columbus.
A die-hard supporter of Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the GOP presidential primary, she had spent most of her general election efforts focused on organizing for Sen. Rob Portman, who is up for reelection. But she had decided to vote for Trump for president.
“Trump’s not my favorite, but Hillary is totally not my favorite,” she told POLITICO last month. “I’ve been a Republican my entire adult life; I’ve supported Republican candidates; the people and the party have nominated him, so I’ll be supporting the Republican nominee.”

Pence literally said this morning to @jdickerson: "We'll respect the outcome of this election." Trump tweets hours later:

3. I'm guessing that SAD is an acronym for Stupid Addled Dimwit.

4. I was thinking Systemic Asshat Disorder, but I'm cool with your diagnosis. (n/t)

5. That's pretty good, too!

The list goes on and on..

7. It does, indeed

This is the freakiest campaign season I've ever experienced. I swear that can almost hear competing screenwriters hammering away on their keyboards to see who can get their treatment into a studio, first.

8. Try HBO's "Game Change"

About the 2008 election focusing on Sparkle Moose's selection as GOP VEEP candidate and documents the whole campaign. It's a jaundiced look into the belly of the beast.

The cast is, as in all HBO film efforts, damned good.

John McCain -- Ed Harris
Sparkle Moose -- Julianne Moore
Steve Schmidt -- Woody Harrelson

And lots of great supporting actors.

Well worth a viewing.

on edit: Tom Hanks was one of the producers.

9. I watch it just about every time I see it is running

It is hard to find anywhere in that film where it comes up short.

I'm also betting that HBO is fast tracking something to go into production so it can come out ASAP after the election.

They can always film two endings.

11. I am very impressed with HBO works.

They have great casting and tell compelling stories.

Try "Temple Grandin" some day, with incredible Claire Danes.

12. I long for the days ...

... when Christine "Mousebrain" O'Donnell and Caribou Barbie were the dumbest, scariest GOOPers.

10. "Trump loses Grip" will do
