This nightmare can't be over soon enough. The scary part to me is that the white supremacists and their ilk have been emboldened and our society has shown itself vulnerable to the whole "stong man" conceit. We can hope this moment in history will pass with Trump's defeat, but I'm skeptical.

Sure, but Trump has been called out for hanging out with Roger Ailes. The press can't make the people who don't care start caring about this stuff. No doubt Trump has gotten away with a lot, but that's on his followers because a lot of the credible problems he has are out there for all to see.

Of course she should be heard, but some of the reporters who are looking into it aren't even sure she exists. I also think this blurb is exactly right. But the Clinton campaign hasn’t touched Johnson’s allegation, and with good reason. It’s true that the allegation is explosive, and could make voters see Trump’s many disturbing comments about young girls over the years in a new light. But it’s also very dubious and uncertain. And there’s no real need to promote a case as sketchy and risky as that one when a dozen women have come forward with much more credible stories, using their own names and making themselves available to reporters for scrutiny.

I figured that there must be problems with the story from the woman who claimed Trump raped her at 13. If not the press would have been all over it like white on rice. They certainly did not shy from the Access Hollywood story and this would have been a ratings grabber for sure. I'm not saying she's lying because I do think he's capable of it, but there are issues. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/3/13501364/trump-rape-13-year-old-lawsuit-katie-johnson-allegation

I hope black people come out in force and I would feel that way even if they are voting Republican. The attempts to suppress and intimidate are so ugly and depressing.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/suppress-black-vote-trump-campaign-230616 Another story about the KKK's plans to suppress the black vote, although some of this is too bizarre. Can they be serious about going to the "ghetto" to hand out liquor and pot? I hope the police are their to send their asses to prison.

I don't think we should believe that unless he actually wins. I'm at the point where I can't let myself believe that will happen. Are people really so desperate for a "strong man" leader that they will pick this complete incompetent? No, I don't think so, but I do think it will be close. I don't think that really says anything about Hillary as a candidate, it just tells us that we are still living in a very sexist society. I was reading an article recently about the strong correlation between men who resent women and Trump support. It was pretty eye opening, although not surprising.

To actually spend your own money to try to ensure that the state kills people. I find it truly unbelievable. I'm pretty sympathetic to victims rights, but this is so wrong. I hope he fails. I also hope that he never manages to break out of Nebraska.

Pete Ricketts spending his own money to get the death penalty reinstated in Nebraska. Looks like he has his eye on the national stage and a billionaire daddy to back him. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/ricketts-nebraska-death-penalty

Where would we expel them to? No one is obligated to take our trash.

Obama has deported a lot of criminals though. That fact tends to get lost in the shuffle. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obamas-deportation-policy-numbers/story?id=41715661

The FBI didn't want to come out and tell us the Russians are trying to interfere in our elections because it's so close to the election. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/31/fbis-comey-opposed-naming-russians-citing-election-timing-source.html

I know, but there are children and poor people paying the price.

I wonder which state is more screwed Kansas or Wisconsin? It's down right shameful what's going on in both states.

No, they just gerrymandered the district he won in, so he lost it in 2012. Trump is so godawful I think HRC might just get it again this year though. Some of the models have her winning it.

That seems possible. I live in a mostly red state, although the Omaha area went to Obama in 2008, so I'm not seeing a ton of ads. The few I have seen are really good, so I can only hope that she is flooding the markets that matter with those.

That's one of the most inexplicable things Bill Clinton has ever done. I don't care if he's 70 and frail, he knows better. And over all I agree with you. When there's a witch hunt on it's time to stop leaving brooms and pointy hats all over your house, but the Clinton's just can't do it. And yeah, when people say it's all the media or it's all the Republicans, I look at the Obama's and go, nope, not really. Their house is messy and it has been for a long time. They have given their enemies a lot to work with. The one thing Hillary has in her corner is almost anything that might be a little shady surrounding her, Trump has inevitably done the same only worse. There was a story awhile back about Bill doing a speech for the Saudi's, but they were really just paying him to help rehabilitate their image (not illegal, just kind of shady). I'll admit I find it distasteful, but is it anywhere near as bad as what goes on with Trump's foundation where he just takes the money for himself? Nope. How about Trump University where he flat out scammed desperate people. So yeah, Trump and Clinton are not equivalent, but I don't think that gives her a free pass either.

After watching an hour of CNN, I'm kind of terrified. I have to believe this will come to nothing, but they are treating it like such a big deal. Then pulling out the chart showing how Trump can get to 270.

And now a new Trump video comes out. http://www.vox.com/identities/2016/10/28/13459750/trump-video-miss-universe-grab-kiss-jennifer-hawkins

Thank goodness. I hate that Trump is so close to the presidency. I've never been more invested in a stranger's well being as I am HRC's right now.

I just saw the FBI is reopening the case into Hillary's private server. This is so tiresome.

CNN just showed a Spanish language ad that President Obama did with Patrick Murphy. I will be so please if Marco Rubio loses.

CNN really has some good female commentators. In addition to Ana Navarro, Angela Rye is really smart and assertive. I love watching her take on people like Kayleigh Mcenany.

Obama's revenge tour. This article makes me happy. I hope he manages to take a few of them down. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/barack-obama-revenge-tour-darrell-issa

The ratings were really good with around 17 million viewers. http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/25/media/walking-dead-ratings-amc-season-seven/index.html Like some other people in the thread I'd like the show to come up with some kind of end game, even if it takes them a few years to get there. At this rate I don't think AMC has any reason to do that though. I imagine keeping production costs down isn't that hard when the cast changes so much.
