The Trump Candidacy

[steve dave]

I don't think early voting is any indicator of how the independent undecided will vote, as they are usually too stupid to know that's an option.

 

[stunted]

Who knew panjy was such a dumbass. Polls are swinging heavily to Trump. Early voting is whatever after a bomb like the FBI thing has dropped. Though I still think rigging can happen.

Anyways Trump is leading on Washington Post - ABC poll.

[Panjandrum]

According to this map there are 8 toss up states. I think each candidate has as good a chance as the other to win them. Trump basically needs to win all of them.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_elections_electoral_college_map.html

The most recent poll in each state has him leading in all, except Colorado where he is down 1 point.

As all this news about hillary and the dnc's bullshit, cronyism, cheating, lying and fraud continues to break, it isn't beyond  the realm of possibility that he wins all those states.

I don't think early voting is any indicator of how the independent undecided will vote, as they are usually too stupid to know that's an option.

I don't like RCP.  Unless I'm missing something, they don't weight the polls differently based on quality like FiveThirtyEight does.

Here's the thing about all of the polls that flummoxes me.  I hear one side say that there are a lot of "hidden" Trump voters that will not admit to voting for Trump in a phone poll, but when I actually read some of the polling data in a lot of these individual states, Hillary is winning large demographic groups that are critical to winning the election.

Trump can't lean on white men and women without college degrees if she's winning women overall and obliterating him with minorities and those with college degrees.

Something has to give.  I fully believe these polls are under-representing something, at least a tiny bit, but the overwhelming amount of data says that even in his best times, he's been an arm or hands length away from her, and in her best times, she's been two car lengths ahead.

Even with the Comey news, I wouldn't be at all surprised if she still wins this thing by 4-5 points, nationally, and gets close to 300 electoral college votes.  I firmly believe he's walking away with Iowa and Ohio, but I think she still holds onto CO, PA, NH, NV and mayyyyyybe North Carolina.

I will not even venture a guess on Florida.  That's always a coin flip.

I don't care about national polls.  I care about the sum total of state polls.

And I think the email thing will subside in a few days, and we'll stabilize again right before election day.

[Panjandrum]

Another thing about early voting...

A lot of old people vote early, and old people are voting for Trump.  If Hillary continues to have a strong lead in early voting, that may be a dent on election day.

trump announcing something?

The very premise that ppl are too ashamed to admit to anonymous polls that they are voting for trump seems completely ridiculous to me.  I mean, can we all just admit that this is a talking point and not reality?

Two points to Panflutetard and I'll listen off the air:

1. I don't believe early voting results are released. I don't know what you're relying on for this hidden hilltard advantage. Early exit polls? In any event, I would guess the demogogueocrats have had a decided advantage in this front since they started mass registerimg their indoctrinated constituency years ago.

2. I don't really care what anecdotal garbage you're relying upon for your "feelings" that hilltard will prevail. I just noted that the most recent poll (the one taken after more of her bullshit came out) shows Trump pulling ahead in the states he needs to win the election.

Honestly, I still think Hilltard will win in spite of her being the most demonstrably incapable and incompetent person ever to run for the white house. Trump is that wtf of a candidte.

There are groups that track early voting data.  Most of it is based on how many Democrats or Republicans have voted.  It's assuming registered Dems and Pubs are voting party lines, which is a safe assumption.  http://www.electproject.org/early_2016

Again, FiveThirtyEight has a better method of rating polls.  A lot of the most recent ones are from the same polling firm (Remington).  So, we won't know where the race really stands post Comey until later this week.

Signatories include economists Angus Deaton of Princeton University, who won the economics Nobel last year, and Oliver Hart of Harvard University, who was one of the two Nobel winners this year.

The letter is notable because it is less partisan or ideological than such quadrennial exercises, and instead takes issue with Mr. Trump’s history of promoting debunked falsehoods.

We, the undersigned economists, represent a broad variety of areas of expertise and are united in
our opposition to Donald Trump. We recommend that voters choose a different candidate on the
following grounds:
? He degrades trust in vital public institutions that collect and disseminate information
about the economy, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by spreading disinformation
about the integrity of their work.
? He has misled voters in states like Ohio and Michigan by asserting that the renegotiation
of NAFTA or the imposition of tariffs on China would substantially increase employment
in manufacturing. In fact, manufacturing’s share of employment has been declining since
the 1970s and is mostly related to automation, not trade.
? He claims to champion former manufacturing workers, but has no plan to assist their
transition to well-compensated service sector positions. Instead, he has diverted the
policy discussion to options that ignore both the reality of technological progress and the
benefits of international trade.
? He has misled the public by asserting that U.S. manufacturing has declined. The location
and product composition of manufacturing has changed, but the level of output has more
than doubled in the U.S. since the 1980s.
? He has falsely suggested that trade is zero-sum and that the “toughness” of negotiators
primarily drives trade deficits.
? He has misled the public with false statements about trade agreements eroding national
income and wealth. Although the gains have not been equally distributed—and this is an
important discussion in itself—both mean income and mean wealth
have risen substantially in the U.S. since the 1980s.
? He has lowered the seriousness of the national dialogue by suggesting that the
elimination of the Environmental Protection Agency or the Department of Education
would significantly reduce the fiscal deficit. A credible solution will require an increase
in tax revenue and/or a reduction in spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or
Defense.
? He claims he will eliminate the fiscal deficit, but has proposed a plan that would decrease
tax revenue by $2.6 to $5.9 trillion over the next decade according to the non-partisan
Tax Foundation.
? He claims that he will reduce the trade deficit, but has proposed a reduction in public
saving that is likely to increase it.
? He uses immigration as a red herring to mislead voters about issues of economic
importance, such as the stagnation of wages for households with low levels of education.
Several forces are responsible for this, but immigration appears to play only a modest
role. Focusing the dialogue on this channel, rather than more substantive channels, such
as automation, diverts the public debate to unproductive policy options.
? He has misled the electorate by asserting that the U.S. is one of the most heavily taxed
countries. While the U.S. has a high top statutory corporate tax rate, the average effective
rate is much lower, and taxes on income and consumption are relatively low. Overall, the
U.S. has one of the lowest ratios of tax revenue to GDP in the OECD.
? His statements reveal a deep ignorance of economics and an inability to listen to credible
experts. He repeats fake and misleading economic statistics, and pushes fallacies about
the VAT and trade competitiveness.
? He promotes magical thinking and conspiracy theories over sober assessments of feasible
economic policy options.
Donald Trump is a dangerous, destructive choice for the country. He misinforms the electorate,
degrades trust in public institutions with conspiracy theories, and promotes willful delusion over
engagement with reality. If elected, he poses a unique danger to the functioning of democratic
and economic institutions, and to the prosperity of the country. For these reasons, we strongly
recommend that you do not vote for Donald Trump.

i tweeted that at scott adams, and he gave it a d- for persuasion. too long-winded, not very direct, too many big words that don't hit. lots of names - who cares? are they trying to just sound smart or persuade?

personally i give it a c+ because i think you're a cool guy
