PRI.org story about some in the LGBT community voting for Trump
“Gay people have already achieved our goals,” Natale says. “We can be Republicans now.”
Since the Supreme Court’s decision in June 2015 to legalize gay marriage, the gay rights movement has been at a crossroads, says New York University professor Frances Kunreuther. A scholar of the LGBT movement, she says the movement has failed to coalesce around one issue in a world where marriage equality is now the law of the land.
“There may be a portion of the LGBT community that does not experience racism, sexism, discrimination, transphobia or immigration issues, and they may not feel the need to go to the polls for LGBT rights,” Kunreuther said. “They feel like their rights have been won.”

In most years I’d agree with you. That being said, this year, we have a party that has a serious conundrum. Remember in May when all of us were yelling at Sanders’ supporters and saying ‘it’s all about the Supreme Court, dumbass!’? Right now, that calculus is going on on the other side of the aisle.
Conservatives are trying to calculate whether or not Trump could be contained enough to at least defend the SC and make some progressive gains. They know that if Clinton picks 3 justices for the Supreme Court, it could be locked liberal for a generation. As much as this sounds like great news for most of us, this is apocalyptically bad if you’re a conservative, especially a social conservative.

That should make you consider how ill-advised your comment was, that most people just whooshed right past it scratching their head at your attempt at logic. I actually haven’t seen anyone say that if Trump won the Presidency because of the dishonest BS, that he still wouldn’t be President, or they would start impeachment proceedings day 1. That’s the connection you might be missing. On one hand you have the actual candidate saying his loss would be due to rigging despite never being ahead the entire race, and on the other hand you have at the least one “unknown” third party committing illegal acts to sway public opinion.

I’ll tell you one thing: you won’t see the gay community that is a huge part of the house music scene endorse Trump in any way, shape, or form. This is the same scene that was conceived by gay black and Hispanic dudes in the warehouses of Chicago and NYC during the 80s (Paradise Garage ring a bell to anybody?), so they’ll be damned if they allow a complete whitewashing of the scene they were instrumental in cultivating by someone like Trump or Thiel.

Considering that the Trump administration starts off with every question under the book, starting with its ties to foreign powers and it’s principle being sued for everything from raping a minor to tax issues to charitable foundation that pays off bills improperly to scamming people out of their life savings in a scam school to bilking contractors and workers out of contractually obligated payments all to further enrich himself, what exactly is legitimate about a Trump presidency?
If he wins, he’ll be president. No one is denying him this, or denying that he’d be able to push his agenda, particularly since if he wins, it all but guarantees that he’d have a favorable Congress to work with that will help him destroy Obamacare, the safety net, and everything else that is meant to protect the general welfare of the nation.
There will be a loyal opposition to be sure, and I would hold him to it, but his word and deed are impossible to consider binding when he shifts and ducks everything imaginable - no matter how petty.
That compares with the GOP treatment towards Clinton, who they’re already signaling will be unable to make judicial nominations and be the focus of endless investigations because the GOP isn’t interested in governing or legislating. They want to kneecap a Clinton presidency even before she’s in office. They will thwart and block Clinton’s presidency at every opportunity - not because it is the good and right thing, but because they oppose on purely political terms, and the nation will be worse off for it.

re: #61 HappyWarrior
The Romney campaign believed that Ann would humanize Mitt too and Ann actually in the end showed herself to be more unlikable than Mitt by acting like we the American people owed it to the Romneys to give them residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Yeah, it’s shocking that after Ann/Egg said things like
“Women, you need to wake up. Women have to ask themselves who’s going to have and be there for you. I can promise you, I know, that Mitt will be there for you. He will stand up for you, he will hear your voices”
and
“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.”
that Romney only lost women by 18 points.

It’s not just the GOP. A lot of people on the left unfortunately have fallen for this crap as well and they refuse to consider they may be wrong. Let me preface this in saying I did not think much her in 2008, I hated how she ran her campaign, in fact I thought it was actually quite obnoxious but as I’ve learned more about her and seen what she’s done over the years, I’ve become a fan but I’ve also seen how much bullshit and yes sexism her opponents throw at her.
Trump loves to talk about how Clinton ‘may’ be under indictment. This motherfucker actually is under indictment! But hey emalis are somehow more scandalous than fraud and potential child rape.

“Trump’s victory could lead to volatility, flight to safety, and sell-offs in stocks,” Soeren Moerch, the head of fixed-income trading at Danske Bank in Copenhagen, told Bloomberg on Wednesday. “We still think Clinton will win, and it will be business as usual, but it has become a very tight race.”
His comments follow a letter signed by 370 economists who warned Americans that electing Trump would be a catastrophic mistake.

But Trump’s on message. //
if trump becomes president, of course all of the rancid crap ryan has been trying to pass since he was in diapers will slide through like a white castle hamburger
but remember this: what they are trying to do is legislate away the future. ban the future, take away its id, keep it away from the polling places, make it hard to find, allow you not to rent to it
but the future will still arrive
the future is like water, it gets in through the cracks. in the late 19th century, wild eyed radicals ran on impossible utopian issues: a fifty hour workweek, woman’s sufferage, the right to marry who you please, the right to have sex out of marriage in a hotel without being hunted down by the house dick, guaranteed pensions backed by the government, compensation for injuries sustained on the job
crazy radical stuff
if trump gets in, we’ll be in for a season of crazyness as the morons and their exploiters run wild trying to make the sun run backwards. yes, people will get hurt; they may even break some things that can’t be fixed
but the future will keep on coming
remember, these days republicans try to convince people that they were the ones who proposed and passed the civil rights acts, that they want to “preserve” social security, and that they all were dead set against the iraq war. donald trump even claims working for the forgotten lower middle class that has been screwed by the wealthy and the multinationals that the democrats and republicans have been protecting

15 years ago, the city I moved to had about 12K people. The city leaders, seeing what was about to happen being a suburb of Dallas, kept putting up referendums to fund road and school construction. The long time residents, not wanting the city to change, kept voting them down. Eventually, though, enough people moved in that these funding bills passed, but, because it took so long, we have multiple construction projects going on all at once, for a city that is now at 43K.

re: #227 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸
if trump becomes president, of course all of the rancid crap ryan has been trying to pass since he was in diapers will slide through like a white castle hamburger
but remember this: what they are trying to do is legislate away the future. ban the future, take away its id, keep it away from the polling places, make it hard to find, allow you not to rent to it
but the future will still arrive
the future is like water, it gets in through the cracks. in the late 19th century, wild eyed radicals ran on impossible utopian issues: a fifty hour workweek, woman’s sufferage, the right to marry who you please, the right to have sex out of marriage in a hotel without being hunted down by the house dick, guaranteed pensions backed by the government, compensation for injuries sustained on the job
crazy radical stuff
if trump gets in, we’ll be in for a season of crazyness as the morons and their exploiters run wild trying to make the sun run backwards. yes, people will get hurt; they may even break some things that can’t be fixed
but the future will keep on coming
remember, these days republicans try to convince people that they were the ones who proposed and passed the civil rights acts, that they want to “preserve” social security, and that they all were dead set against the iraq war. donald trump even claims working for the forgotten lower middle class that has been screwed by the wealthy and the multinationals that the democrats and republicans have been protecting
the future will get here sooner or later

I’m feeling pretty good too seeing how well HRC polls in VA. I’m honestly curious how the Congressional race goes here. This is a competitive district presidential but it’s been Republican congressional but Comstock doesn’t have the seniority that Wolf did. Her ads against Bennett are very negative which suggest to me she’s running scared because it took the now infamous Trump-Bush tape for her to actually condemn Trump.

re: #179 BeachDem
Well, this is helpful:
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, which is located in the Old Town neighborhood of San Diego and that will be a polling place on election day, distributed a weekly newsletter in mid-October that had a flier inserted in it that told parishioners they’d go to hell if they voted for Democrats.
I was reading the article below the other day. The GOP needs to be defeated resoundingly because these religious right assholes are still intent on tearing down the wall between church & state:
Religious leaders risk losing tax-exempt status for picking side
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - A 50-year-old rule in the federal tax code has been thrust into the middle of the presidential campaign, and it’s creating a big debate over the separation of church and state.
It’s called the Johnson Amendment, and Donald Trump wants to repeal it. […]
Fifty-two years after Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson introduced a federal tax rule prohibiting 501(c)(3) organizations from supporting political candidates, Republicans are calling for a change. […]
McDonald said he believes this push to allow tax exempt organizations to support candidates is only going to get stronger.
“In 2012 I kind of saw an eclipse of it. I saw it start to permeate a little bit. Now it’s really proliferated to where people are asking questions and really wanting to know what it’s about,” McDonald said. […]
Churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. free to fire up their followers over politics—what could possibly go wrong? And BTW, what about all the whining WRT “political Islam” supposedly intent on undermining our Constitution? (As if other religions aren’t “political.” Puhleez.)
Wonder if Reince can put a lid on donald about this:
“There is no need for this judicial fire drill,” U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert wrote in his ruling. https://t.co/9WeAS9iuwM
U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert, a Republican and former state attorney general, took a dim view of his party’s request to rewrite the state’s 79-year-old Election Code just days before Tuesday’s general election.
“There is no need for this judicial fire drill and [the Republican Party] offers no reasonable explanation or justification for the harried process they created,” Pappert wrote in a ruling released Thursday.
Pappert, as he did during a hearing on the matter last week, noted that legislation to amend the Election Code was introduced in the state House in January 2015. The Republican-controlled House did not bring that measure up for a full vote.
The Election Code requires poll watchers, appointed by candidates or political parties, to serve in the county where they are registered to vote.
Trump, in rallies in Pennsylvania and other states, has repeatedly claimed - absent evidence - that the election is “rigged.”
snip
Pappert, in his ruling, said the Republican Party’s “preoccupation with the role of poll watchers to deter purported voter fraud disregards other aspects of the regulatory framework” such as election board workers from the Democratic and Republican Parties who oversee polling place operations and have more authority than poll watchers.
And he said the Republican Party’s claims of voter fraud are “based on speculation … and the unproven assumption” that traveling poll watchers would be able to stop that crime.
Megan Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Republican Party, called Pappert’s ruling “a blow to openness and transparency in our electoral system.”

I used to be a political science major and the study of campaign effects is pretty standard, but I haven’t kept up with the research to know how campaign appearances and the like affect election results.
I do recall one analysis by a Republican consultant about the 2000 election who found that only candidate on either ticket moved the numbers with visits—Lieberman.
But most election analysis tends to find little impact on things like campaign appearances and debates, etc. Election results tend to be seen to result from broader economic and demographic trends.
