Cold War II: The United States vs Trump and Co. A Russian Affair

[Poetical Poltergeist]

All we know is Trump will continue to shyt the bed between now and election day.

The repubs will stay quiet.

The dems will eat each other.

We may be stuck with this a$$hole.

Prepare and plan bruhs.

The media (especially cable news) is terrible but you can't put this entirely on them.

Nothing whatsoever would convince Trump supporters that he was capable of wrongdoing regardless of how the media presented it.

Nah, don't worry about the Trump supporters. Those are the 35 to 40 percent who will proudly answer those polls stating their support and pledging their votes to him. The people you worry about are Trump Sympathizers; people who will hold their nose and vote for him as long as they can justify it in their minds.

A third party candidate is what really puts us in jeopardy of him getting re-elected. Otherwise it's difficult with 47% or less of the electorate to get enough electoral college votes. People like Jill Stein f*cked us in 2016.

Lazy talking point. Gary Johnson got far more votes than Jill Stein in 2016.

Was Gary Johnson not a third party candidate (Libertarian)?

Libertarians vote Republican. Stop playing dumb.

Interesting because MSNBC is starting to paint the narrative that Democrats could when more of the popular vote than in 2016 and still lose the EC.

Russia will be a topic again closer to elections when election interference tensions begin to run high.

Makes sense. I just hope it's highlighted how serious the consequences are and not into another story on Trump's deranged tweets ABOUT the renewed focus.

Which is irrelevant to my original point, that a third party candidate hurts and not helps the Democrats.

I don't think that is mathematically possible unless there is another candidate who can take votes from the Democrat.

Johnson drew votes away from Trump, not Hillary. Stop playing dumb.

So the f*ck what, he wasn't the only third party candidate to run so whats your point? Had there been no Jill Stein you'd almost have an argument.

Actually, he still has an argument.

Actually, he still has an argument.

All polling data showed that when 3rd party candidates were included Clinton's margin of support decreased.

Considering this skew was around 1 percent and Trump won by roughly 80k votes l'm not sure your position is valid.

It's easily possible. The Dem could just win by even bigger margins in blue states but still narrowly lose the swing states.

Whether that's probable, I'm not sure, but it's not that far-fetched.
