    You can always vote for Hillary again in 2020 if she loses this time around.

    Definitely not unlikely. Trump has a movement of people who show up to the booth early. There is literally no enthuisasm for Hillary. Pretty bad considering she would be the first Women president. Even if she is more liked by the majority, her people won't go out and vote as much as trumps people.

    I agree that there's an enthusiasm gap! But I have a hard time envisioning a map that gives Trump the win. Show me: http://www.270towin.com/

    Not too much, no. I believe 538 does these on a four-day-rolling basis, right? I would expect this to be the very lowest point of the election, given the DNC leak combined with the RNC. By early ext week, the DNC bump (bigger than the RNC, given the popularity of Bill/Michelle/Barack/Biden) will probably stabilize things going into August.

    Regarding welfare, I work directly next to a huge social services building in Los Angeles and I can not tell you how many people will park their BMW's or Mercedes in our parking lot, and then walk next door to collect their welfare money...after you see that day after day for 5 years straight, you start thinking something might be broken

    WPG, I just read that in 2014 we spent 1.02 trillion on welfare...is that incorrect?

    He's also alienated most demographics. This election is still Hillary's to lose (but if anyone can grant Trump victory it's her).

    Ok, I'm catching up on reading in this thread but are you kidding me? Yes, we trust the Federal Bureau of Investigations. What's their purpose if we don't trust them? Smh.... I'm sure you wouldn't be questioning their legitimacy had they found something incriminating.

    I understand it's updated daily but I believe the polling used to update it each day is on a four-day-rolling basis.
    LMAOOOOOOO are you gonna start posting Reagan's welfare queens videos, too?

    I live in LA. I help people get welfare benefits every week. I talk to case workers. You're talking out of your a---.

    Welfare spending in 2015 was just under $400 billion. (http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/welfare_budget_2015_4.html)

    I know the column you're referring to that put welfare spending for 2014 at $1.02 trillion. It was roundly discredited by economists and journalists on both sides of the aisle. And even in that column, federal welfare programs--which is what we're talking about here--accounted for only 75% of that.

    The most powerful woman in history.....
    In fact, if we consider that the US's power is increasing on a day by day basis, she would practically be the second most powerful human being in history!

    not sure if the polling itself is on a four day rolling basis but either way its a close election and i think the dnc will give hilldog a bump for sure

    I love Lamont. He straight up ignores every meaningful argument brought against him but carries on posting tweets by anonymous trolls that go through mental gymnastics to attack the Democrats.

    The notion that the emails might contain sensitive information is based on Trump's own logic, dude. So unless Trump's claims for this whole campaign have been totally baseless, he's not only calling for our strongest adversary to commit espionage against his political opponent, but to do it with major national security consequences! Do you see how insane this line of thinking is?

    You talk a big game about being able to point out Trump flaws. So why do you never do it?

    how am I talking out of my a--- by describing what I see every single day?? I literally see crack heads shooting up in the alley next to the building, and then walk inside and collect a check...I see guys getting out of $100,000 cars walking next door to collect money...that's my reality, I'm not making this up

    "What you see" doesn't mean anything. You can't glean anything meaningful from apocryphal stories of Benzes and whatever. Tell me what you disagree with in terms of policy! You're a f---ing fraud.
    Wait..............what are the crackheads shooting up?

    Also, what does being a drug addict have to do with receiving benefits? If you're a middle-class coke addict, are you not entitled to your tax refund?
