In other Trump/Brexit news, The Orange One has hired the data science company that helped to push Brexit through to help him on his campaign.

 

An interesting quote about the company from the above article -

 

Cambridge Analytica is a marketing film that targets voters (and potential donors) based on their unconscious psychological biases.

 

That is not ominous at all.

Well if there was a company with no morals whatsoever then there it is...
I'm really coming back to that idea that this was all a conspiracy cooked up between Hillary and Trump.
Yep. I mean how on earth does someone apparently this prone to unforced errors and emotional knee-jerk tantrums survive 30 years in business? I know inheriting a few billion helps, but sheesh.
It's bizarre! I don't gwt how someone some dumb and thin skinned and rash got so far either - even with a LOT of help he's so knee jerk and reactionary and acts like a chil to the point where he surely should have run his buinesses into the ground even with major help.

Honestly, how can anybody in their right mind have any doubt to the fact that Donald Trump is, very clearly, a dangerous psychopath who shouldn't be let near any office, let alone be given the most powerful position on Earth?

 

Weirdly (and scarily), the last episode of the series of Power Monkeys joked about Trump supporters actually chanting 'Kill Hilary!' thanks to a mistake in the speech by the campaigns office...creepy shit. (But ugh, make it stop or alternatively just have him CONSTANTLY kill his chances until November).

My state (Georgia) is a swing state ( that's usually overwhelmingly Republican).

 

Hilary will be the next president of the United States. Trump is nose diving in the polls by the week.

As strangely apt as this would be, it's a bit too much of an overly complicated Batman gambit.

If they did, it's scary they went out of their way to be the most hateful, ignorant candidate and still somehow have a CHANCE OF WINNING.

err no conspiracy. Trump's supporters are so fired up and steeped in conspiracy theories they believe nothing factual and everything conspiratorial. That's very dangerous whatever the result. Trump really IS how he appears to be, court cases, past behaviour, business "success" all show that to be the case.

 

Just dont know why Clinton just doesnt turn the tables, call him Crooked Donald and list all of his court cases. He has officially been found to be a liar. He catches himself out as a liar every time he opens his mouth and tries to rewrite his own personal history. Basically, he is a basket case emotionally and intellectually and always has been. he has been successful cos he's also ruthless and merciless.

One of my favourite clips of the week is the lawyer for Trump who, when asked about what he thought of Trump being behind in the polls, said ''SAYS WHO?'' repeatedly like some of malfunctioning robot with the kind of BLANK STARE that comes only from being a Republican.

Hahahaha, yes! Literally my favorite video right now.

 

"Which ones?"

 

"... All of them."

The last two elections had tons of "the polls are wrong" mentality, and claims that pollsters were oversampling Democrats, but none of that ended up being true. Actually, Obama outperformed the polling average both times, and some polls ended up oversampling white voters instead. There's no good evidence that people lie to pollsters about who they support. The Bradley Effect never existed for Obama, and it's unlikely to exist this election. American general election polling has a strong record of being accurate, and state polling has also been highly accurate. The whole "shy Trumpster" talking point is very inane because it's making the assumption that there's a significant number of voters out there too embarrassed to say that they support Trump and that Trump appeals to enough people to win in ways McCain and Romney couldn't. Given Trump's high unfavorables, that's not very likely. Clinton also has high unfavorables, but they're not as bad as Trump's are. Trump could win by getting a plurality of voters, but that's assuming enough people think he's suitable to be President and that he would bring positive change. It also assumes white voter turnout will be up quite a bit and minority turnout will be down. It's not impossible for Trump to win, but if he were to win, in would most likely be shown in the polling average beforehand. Romney won white voters by 20 points, but still lost by about 5 million voters. It's highly unlikely that Trump could perform even worse than Romney among minority voters, but have enough white voters to lead him to victory.
