Plenty of white people get shot by the police. You never see the National Guard called in to restore order afterwards. Why is that?

Wild guess here, but perhaps they are armed and not lying on the ground getting handcuffed?

''Pinheads''

Guiliani just said Hilarys supporters are pinheads .

Pinheads do be dangerous things for bubbles, and there are millions of them.

Not sure his logic behind becoming spokesman for the Trump campaign.

Right wing smear campaigns arent hurting him at all, he'll go down as one of the best presidents.

That might be the most ridiculous thing I've read here. You think history is going to proclaim greatness on a President who blames his predecessor for poor economic conditions and who's far left progressive socialist agenda has done anything that advances America? Who's signature legislation, Obamacare, is rapidly deteriorating because of climbing healthcare costs - which it was guaranteed to reduce. A President responsible for the decimation of our national security and our military, and who sells the people on a false narrative propagated about the Iranian nuclear deal. The nation s only President to preside over an economy that never exceeded 3% GDP growth. A President who worked so hard to bankrupt the coal industry and to decimate the oil and natural gas industry through regulatory fiat, and who has single handedly set race relations in America back decades. History is a fool if it does that.

Look seriously, come on, join reality for just a few minutes, leave the hate at the door for just a little while.
Firstly, it's not a matter of blaming the previous president for the poor economic conditions he inherited, it's just a fact that these poor economic conditions existed, many of us lived through it and it was incredibly tough, under Obama I've been able to achieve success, start a new business, use Obamacare to keep my insurance from previous employer. Do I think he is personally responsible for this, no, many factors are in place but it's a fact he has presided over this recovery.
I would love to know what decimation of military you talk of, that's just pure nonsense, don't just lie.
You say he worked so hard to bankrupt coal industry, another lie, you think America should be doubling down on these industries, the future is renewable energy, an idiot can see that, republicans act like people love working in the coal mines as if it some dream job and the only one available, why would we want the next generation of kids working in this industry ?
Race relations have been set back decades??? Jesus, you've already been debunked my many on here about that, another clear lie, has he revoked their right to vote, reintroduced segregation?????
I suppose he has also made a mistake in being progressive for gay rights ?
Just leave the bubble man, it's not so bad outside it

Just looking at the RCP site. Yesterday it was Clinton 262, Trump 170 with 112 in play.

Now it's still Clinton 262, but Trump is down to 126 and 150 are in play.

That's a massive shift. Texas and Georgia are now toss ups? :eek:

They haven't even been able to update the order of their "Path to 270" graphic to keep up with how much red states are losing confidence across the board

Meanwhile all of the blue states are solidly held up to and past the 270 mark.

Still think Trump will win, just got that feeling. Can see the working class who hate Hillary voting Trump in unprecedented numbers.

Feelings don't really cut it in the face of polled data. Trump's not going to win this. Interesting breakdown of Trump's support from Septemver - pre hot mic video - he was getting a significant portion of his vote from older working class women. You'd have to assume that this must have been impacted negatively subsequently by the focus on his attitude to women, but perhaps not?

Really? You think the working class are going to vote for the anti-union right wing hotel owner?

Why?

He's against the minimum wage, health insurance reform, minority rights, unions, etc

He also wants to privitise social security.

Except for some vague talk about jobs I don't see that he has anything to offer the working class at all.
