At first I thought, “The only way for Hillary to win would be to run against someone like Trump.”

Now I’m like, “But... the only way for Trump to win would be to run against someone like Hillary...”

Might chill out a bit here dude, taken from the same BBC article you got your graph from:

The Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project estimates Mrs Clinton’s odds of winning the necessary 270 Electoral College votes on Tuesday at about 90%, down from 95% last week.

Either way,at this point any speculation about the election is just that, speculation. We won’t know until Election Night how it’ll turn out. And for the record it never was funny.

But seriously, we’re a nation that continue to support Kanye West, the Kardashians, and feel the need to warn people that matches are flammable. We’ve had this coming.

The stats itself doesn’t really scare me—in the end, there’s more than enough “good” or at least enough reps in Congress to vote Hillary.

What I am scared about is what it represents: the number of people who would be more than willing to fight, protest, die and kill for Herr Fuehrer. Mostly kill. All the minorities. And rape female children. Daily.

Basically, if Hillary wins, there will be a 45% chance we’ll get a civil war.

I honestly never found any of it amusing, the idea that such a disgusting human being exists and has a national voice with such a fanatical following has legitimately scared me from the beginning. And I think that’s why this election is so disheartening; Trump himself isn’t the disease, he’s just a symptom of a much deeper, underlying problem with a frighteningly large number of intolerant and ignorant people in this country. He wouldn’t be in this position if there weren’t millions of people who share his views and his attitudes. That’s what really bothers me.

SVTyler > Alfalfa 11/04/2016 at 03:00

This isn’t directed at you personally dude but the idea that a fascistic demagogue could incite armed insurrection against the government and make for ‘great TV’ is one of the reasons of why we’re in such a mess to begin with.

As I have said before, there are two good things about a Trump presidency

1. You will no longer have to wonder about when you’re going to die. You will almost certainly die sometime in the next four years

2. You will know, with certainty, that around 50% of the inhabitants of Central North America are, quite simply, deplorable, and will richly deserve what will be coming for them

(I wonder if the FBI will start using black Escalades in the purges)

Not quite.

It shows that approx 45% of the people who intend to vote – or, more accurately, of the people who participated in the surveys and say intend to vote– would indeed choose Mr Trump.

It is a disgrace that voter turnout is generally so low (both in the States and in Europe). There are many people who have an informed opinion about politics but simply cannot be bothered to cast their ballot.

That is, of course, quite irresponsible.

From my point of view it’s just.. well.. I don’t have the words to describe it.. Let’s just say that 77% of the Norwegian people seem to think that Trump would make for a bad or worse president, 59% thinks he’d be a bloody disaster.

I don’t think it’s quite as bad as you think though. Most people I know that are voting Trump are under the “I hate this moron, but anything is better than Clinton” camp. It’s a begrudging vote simply because the dems picked a terrible candidate too.

I still don’t know who I am voting for. I hate both equally, had Bernie been the Dem nomination I would be voting for him hands down.

I’m genuinely curious how you could hate both equally? I may not like some of her policies but at least she has some, and despite trying for 25 years no one has been able to get anything to stick on her legally.

Do you just ignore the horrible, sexist, racist things Trump has said (on camera!) and all the business disasters he has had a hand in? For a man who has had 6 businesses go bankrupt, he does an awful good job at making sure he still sees a profit at the end of the day.

Breaking my #1 rule and commenting on a political post.

I’m in the same boat as you. Still undecided. Politically I feel like I’m pretty centered, leaning towards the conservative side. Being this way I agree with most of Trumps policies, but I don’t feel that I can support his character. Regarding Hillary, I don’t support most of her policies, but on top of that, regardless of whether she’s guilty or not, a person who is questionable enough to have two FBI investigations opened on them during the election cycle is not someone I feel should be running this country. Honestly I think I’m going to vote for Johnson. I know he has no hope of winning, and this isn’t a wasted protest vote. I’m tired of the circus shit show and it’s time for things to change. It may not do any good this time around, but change usually starts small, and it has to start somewhere.

Here’s the current average from RealClearPolitics.

Clinton’s dwindling lead seems to have stabilized and is actually up 0.9% from yesterday.

Trump would have to win EVERY battleground state to pull of an Electoral College victory. Florida is already trending back to Clinton (although New Hampshire has flopped to Trump).

Clinton is more of the same shit in Washington and the worst of it. She panders and changes her stances on a whim depending on what’s polling well. She’s a career politician through and through, sure nothing has stuck, but you can’t deny a lot of the shit that seems to always surround the Clinton’s is quite shady.

Trump’s a racist idiot, but the President is not all powerful. The President’s job is to enforce laws. It’s not like he will actually be able to change anything with out congressional approval. The only major thing he could have the power to do is deport illegal immigrants, since the he would you know be enforcing existing laws. Either way, he will be a wrench thrown into Washington politics that might force a change for the better.

I hate cronyism, both parties do it and Clinton is the epitome of it.

Clinton knows the game and can play it to get her way. Trump doesn’t and has already made enemies from both sides of the aisle so expecting him to get anything done that he wants to do is wishful thinking. That being said, he’s still a misogynistic asshole who thinks his shit doesn’t stink.

Trump could definitely cause lasting damage to america if he puts in a racist judge.

If he is a misogynistic asshole, why give him the job that many children will be looking up to? Do you really think that he won’t poison the hearts and minds of children during his time as president?

Clinton is a career politician, yes, but more of the same right now is heaps better than the crap that would happen under a trump presidency.

She has had one (1) FBI investigation, not two. If you are going by that logic, Trump has a fraud lawsuit against him, and multiple people saying he has sexually assaulted them, one of them being his first wife, and she said that way before he was running for president.

I’m curious what policies of trumps you like?

Haha. Man, I do think you’re being a bit dramatic on the “poison the hearts and minds of children” thing, but I didn’t say I’m voting for him, I just don’t think I can bring myself to vote for Clinton either.

The whole “don’t vote for this completely terrible person, vote for this other mostly terrible person instead” leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I mean most elections seems to be vote for the least worst candidate, but this presidential election is so far off the scale from usual it’s mind numbing It’s like having to vote for who was a better person, Hitler or Stalin.

Also, one of my favorite things I’ve read so far about this election is “So we have to choose between orange Hitler and grandma Nixon this election? What the hell America?”

Look at it this way: the Obamas have pushed for greater science involvement in kids, and frankly have been a total class act as far as how you should deal with people you disagree with. Then look at the things that trump has been tweeting and saying in the same time frame: insults, lawsuits, sexual assault, racism, fraud, ect. (I could go on for quite a while just using trump quotes). He is not a nice or good person, and while Melania doesn’t seem like a bad person, look at what her platform is: bullying. The thing her husband loves to do.

Hitler was evil on purpose, Nixon actually advanced civil rights (not out of the goodness of his heart, but he did do good in spite of himself)

Would you honestly have a hard time choosing between Hitler and Nixon? Given that one will actually be elected regardless of how you may dislike both?

They’re working on a second are they not? Or are they considering it? Regardless, this is the second time that the FBI is looking into her emails/activities. Also, that doesn’t mean Trump is a goody two shoes. Like Hillary, nothing has seemed to stick, but unlike Hillary, Trump’s lawsuits/charges reflect upon his character as a person, where as Clinton’s bring up some serious national security issues. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I SUPPORT TRUMP! Again, I’m not saying Hillary is or isn’t guilty, and I know enough to not buy into every Clinton “scandal” that pops up. All I’m saying is that there is enough questionably about her to make me highly skeptical as to what her intents really are, improving the country, or serving her own interests. Plus I think a lot of her policies suck, so character aside I’m still not sure I would vote for her.

As for Trump’s policies, I like his viewpoints on guns and the second amendment, his policies on abortion, his immigration policy (this does not make me a racist, anyone and everyone is welcome in this country, I simply feel that they should enter this country via the legal channels), his policies on taxes seem reasonable to me as well. In general I agree with a lot of his, and the general Republican party’s, policies. I don’t agree with everything however. I think his personal viewpoints on Muslims are wildly bigoted, and his viewpoints on global warming and carbon pollution are wrong IMO. At the end of the day, I support most of his policies, but his behavior and character is why I don’t want him to become our next president.

Well I guess that’s fair, as an outsider I just can’t understand how people think they are an equally bad choice.

Edit: the FBI don’t open a new investigation if they already had one. The Comey comment basically said we know there are emails from Huma Abudin on the laptop, we are looking to see if they are the same ones we have seen or if there is any new info in them. He also said that before the warrant was even issued, which seems like he was trying to swing popular opinion against Clinton.

Based on character alone, I would take Clinton over Trump by a slim margin. Based on policy alone, I would take Trump over Clinton by a slim margin.

And the people making a comparison between Trump and Hitler and being a bit dramatic don’t you think? Is Trump a good person? No. Is he going to somehow force the army/police to start murdering millions of people he doesn’t like? I really doubt that.

But likewise, Clinton is not a good person either. She’s just more secretive about it instead of running her mouth like Trump.

I don’t think I’m you, because I’m me.

I agree that there needs to be more choices. Maybe it’s a local thing, or just not being covered by the media, but Gary Johnson seems to be getting a lot of attention around here (upper midwest), at least it feels more so than the last election. Not enough to win of course, but the amount of support makes me feel that there’s at least a chance for a little change eventually.

I think they’re both bad, but for different reasons. Hillary obviously has more capability to run the country, but I don’t trust her, and don’t like her policies, so I don’t feel I can vote for her. And although I side with a lot of Trump’s policies, his personal character is atrocious, and I don’t feel that I can vote for that either.

Thanks for the FBI information. I try to be as informed as I can about some of these issues (but I don’t dig super deep usually) but living in a red state posts and articles are usually pretty biased as you could imagine. I try to take everything with a grain of salt, but there’s only so much one can do without spending every waking minute digging for the truth. Thank you for making me better informed.

Comparing him to Hitler is definitely a stretch, but to someone like Mussolini? Much closer in both attitude and running platform (Make America on time again!). Threatening to jail your political opponent is right out of the Mussolini playbook.

I think Clinton is textbook “for the greater good”, but she means well, which I would much rather live next to than “I have the most tremendus ego, it really is bigl y eague” Trump.
