He has almost no chance in Pennsylvania. Philly suburbs will not be kind

Aye, some of the numbers from there look brutal and they are historically far more reliable voter to go to the polls than the areas in the state where he is strong.

Concerning.

Very concerning indeed!

Is that a borderline terroristic threat? Or is it actually a terroristic threat?

He should expect a knock on the door from the secret service, like.

My biggest worry when Obama was elected was some backwards person like that guy actually following through.

Ohio, and even more so Iowa, have often looked a bit dodgy for Clinton and the early ballot returns seem to be bearing that out - the midwest in general is her weakest area.

At this point it weirdly looks like Clinton is more likely to win N Carolina than Ohio.

Major influx of non-native North Carolinians in the last 20-30 years...a lot of them coming from California (Tech companies) as well as immigrants.

I think it's right to televise it , it's newsworthy . It's what his rigged election and conspiracy rubbish panders to , he's culpable I'm afraid . The VP nominee and most of the party as a whole aren't but he absolutely is .

They've enabled him from the get go, they're absolutely culpable.

They certainly have a responsibility for the rise of trump , they could have stopped him and they bottled it partially because of people like the bloke above.

Is Clinton locked up already?

I've been absent for a couple of days - it is nice to see some of the usual suspects plying their usual wares.

How about a bit of a group challenge, for Donald Trump supporters, Hillary supporters, independents and interested observers? Maybe, just maybe, we can move beyond lock her up and genital grabbing, to see if @TheFinnFan and others are willing to play a game with a bit more substance than what we've experienced recently.

For each of the major candidates, can someone take on writing a paragraph about the substantive positions of one of the candidates on the following issues:
- International trade
- Second Amendment
- Race relations
- Syria / Iraq / ISIS
- China / Western Pacific / Territorial claims vs Freedom of Navigation

I've only picked 5 issues out of many that are on the radar in the US these days. So, is anyone willing to play along? I am actually serious in this - some of us are quite belligerent in tone for / against a candidate - why is that? what in their positions motivate you?

Of course, you can always just reply "I don't care that much" or toss a grenade like "she's a witch" - but really, that's beneath you and too easy. Take a few minutes to research a position and articulate it!

Come on, do it, or I may have to resurrect the GOT count to 100 thread.....
