How can this be possible, given whom she's running against. She should be beating Trump by double digits in every national poll, especially after the hate fest in Cleveland. Doesn't this worry you at all?
The Clusterf**k in Cleveland just ended on Thursday. There aren't any polls to speak of yet.

I was kinda hoping for Al Franken. I hear he has a new book coming out - "Donald Trump is a Big Fat Idiot."

My prediction is that the polls won't change appreciably. The people horrified by the spectacle in Cleveland weren't going to vote for Trump and the people who will ate that shit up. Minds will not be changed at this point. They're all locked in.

I hope I'm wrong but I really don't think I am.

If so, I'd read it. Years ago, I read his "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" on beach vacation in full view of my dittohead mother-in-law. She wasn't amused.

Maybe you should send her a copy of "Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them".

Forget Stein. Hers is a vanity candidacy. Gary Anderson, on the other hand, looks to be in line for the Koch donor Group's $889 million. That could change everything.
I bet he doesn't see 10% of that.

What a lame attempt at deflection that was. Can't answer the question, can you?

I don't get why all the talk from some on the left to the effect that 'Hillary is weak, Hillary is going to lose.' Say you convince everyone here and thousands more that it's true. So what and now what?

Time to give up? Start packing for Canada? Go dig a bunker?

I don't get it. I really don't.

Convention coming up. Let's at least see what the folks have to say, OK? There will be plenty of time to despair later, if that's called for....
