Watching the Bill Maher show after his five week hiatus and he had Pres. Hoover's great granddaughter and staunch Republican on, she admitted that she's voting for Hillary.

Well, that's one. Maybe, between now and election day, she'll get another vote.

Compare that to the 10,000 and 20,000 that he was drawing when he was running against her.

But keep dreaming Bob.
Filling up stadiums obviously doesn't translate into votes, as Bernie learned, Joad. What Bernie's doing is hitting the airwaves to get the message out that Trump is a clear and present danger. He's also telling people to not waste their votes on 3rd party candidates.

There may be some truth in that.

I'm starting to think I may just go with Trump instead of Stein.

That way I can go with the winner.

Not to the point of setting my hair on fire, yet. YMMV.

She's still the prohibitive favorite. Remember when Mittens had it all but sewn up at around this time in '12?

Polls are bouncing around like popcorn but call me crazy, I have faith that the American voters will choose the sane centrist candidate over a spray tanned, malignant narcissistic race huckster and all around buffoon.

You have a funny way of defining "prohibitive favorite". She's in a statistical dead heat with Drumpf and Five Thirty-Eight just dropped below 60/40. That's the lowest it's been since July.

And a lot of people's hair is on fire. I've been getting emails for several days now from organizations like NARAL and MoveOn screaming at me about what's at stake.

NARAL
Quote:
In TWO separate polls this week, Trump is shown to be ahead by five points in the crucial swing state of Ohio.1

A month ago, Clinton was ahead by eight points in the average of all national polls. Now her lead is two points!2

This is not a drill. And if you're not freaking out, you're not paying attention.
MoveOn
Quote:
Dear MoveOn member,

Five weeks ago, Hillary Clinton was up by 8 points. Now, the race is tied, according to today's The New York Times.

And if that’s not enough to worry you, consider that during this time period, Clinton has been outspending Trump on TV ads by a margin of 10-to-1.
