If Assange had anything he'd drop it now to distract from Trump's meltdown. This is just him being clickbait-y. So far I'm not seeing any bites other than the Trumpanzees.

I'm not surprised. The news broke here that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert did a secret fundraiser for Trump.

I'm a political glutton for punishment. I can't help but wonder what former posters Max and Alphanguy are thinking about this election.

So Trump basically had a nervous breakdown onstage in Pennsylvania,

I thought the Dynasty reboot was Empire? That too.

We already had a Dynasty reboot. It was called "Revenge."

Not surprised. Kellyanne looks rougher and rougher with every appearance. It's like Donald is draining her life force.

As an asthmatic, I'm here for a cough prevention machine.

Those tweets are perfect. He's completely incapable of restraint. He can't handle any criticism and he can't let anything go. I mean this loser stood up at a presidential debate and went back to his old feud with Rosie O'Donnell. He's incapable of self-control. I think that she may just be able to push him to a full psychotic break.

Thank you. I'll admit that I have a really tough time grasping all the nuances of what issues resonate with Latino voters.

Here's the Newsweek piece. http://www.newsweek.com/2016/10/14/donald-trump-cuban-embargo-castro-violated-florida-504059.html

A colleague of mine in New York said that she was talking politics with some young latinos and a lot of the Cubans say their parents say they'll never vote for Clinton because Bill sent Elian Gonzales back to Cuba.

You might want to goto twitter and look at the shitstorm this article is causing. And Nina Turner is a disgruntled Bernie supporter. Check out Darren Hutchinson and Tom Watson. Black people are getting TIRED of being told they only show up when an when a black is running. This is the same narrative the press ran all primary season when Bernie became the hot ticket. I'm not suggesting not being concerned but all we can do it vote and support ALL OF US. I'm actually volunteering to work phone banks something I have NEVER done before rather than sit back and stress myself out along with 2 AA colleagues who are actually tied of hearing how unenthused they are by the press. Good for you! Getting active really helps alleviate the stress. That politico article is such concern-trolling BS.

Did you read about the couple whose dog was poisoned after receiving a note about how Hillary should be in prison? I believe they got a note in reference to their yard sign, their car was vandalized as well, and then their dog got sick. The vet said he was poisoned, and the dog died. Edit: Per Washington Post, Google Searches for "registrarse para votar" reached an all-time high during last night's debate. That's horrible and it's exactly the kind of thing my parents were always afraid of. They never even put a bumper sticker on the car but they showed up to the polls every. single. time.

I've been clearing it up for people all day. It's scary how easy it is to believe that he would react that way.

That's not true (yet). Andy Borowitz writes political satire for the New Yorker. He used to have an email called "The Borowitz Report" and they offered him a job and they have always been awful about clearly calling out his writing as comedy. Why do I know so much about him, you ask? He's from Cleveland. LOL! The scary thing is that based on Trump's real actions, that was perfectly believable.

I laugh at the enthusiasm argument. I think that a lot of people have forgotten what elections were like before Obama's. This is the norm. The Obama frenzy was the outlier and that's because of the historic nature of his candidacy. There are plenty of us enthusiastic for Hillary but then supporters of Trump and Bernie went crazy. "Enthusiasm" made Bernie's supporters heckle Elijah Cummings at the DNC while he spoke about his dead father. (That's right. I haven't forgotten). If expressing your choice gets you met with death and rape threats online or someone vandalizing your yard because of a sign then most sensible people will keep their head down. That's not lack of enthusiasm. That's common sense.

Except she did talk about the emails. Really, nobody's buying the spin. They are trying to astroturf the hell out of it but it's not working. As for Benghazi, she herself mentioned sitting through 11 hours of questioning during the discussion of her stamina. After the butt-whooping she gave them then, I don't think they want to revisit that to her face.

I agree with Vee. Watch the debate. I thought it would stress me out but it was a thing of beauty. Now we get to see how he'll weasel out of the next one.

You don't have to be born in America. You can also be the child of an American citizen. That's why the birther stuff was so odious. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya, his mother was American so he would still be considered American. Which is how you know it really was all about his race.

She's tearing his ass to pieces. I'm so glad I decided to watch.

The Princeton Election Consortium has become filled with what they call "538 refugees." Silver's behavior this election has raised flags for more people than I realized. Props to you JaneAusten. You saw what was happening and I dismissed it.

I'm not watching either. This isn't really about issues. It's about seeing how the candidates handle pressure and I already know that.

Dammit. This election seems determined to ruin everyone I thought I could respect. First Bernie, now Silver.
