There is simply no idea more laughable and utterly stupid

Yeah I don't support Trump.

I don't think we are taking this seriously.

I don't think a Civil War in the US possible (at least anytime soon anyway).

To have a chance the military would have to be on board with the insurrectionists.

Just more right wing shit talking. If it didn't happen when we elected a "black muslim socialist" I see pretty much zero chance of it happening now.

These types of threats are just par for the course

CNN has Clinton ahead by 4% in popular vote.

The polls have tightened as they always do the week before the vote. Trump is in with a real but difficult road to win. If Clinton wins Florida and SC it's game over for Trump.

I've been reading around the various online publications, the Nate Silver and Huff posts disagreement to realclear, to this poll and that poll.

Some polls actually have a difference of 7 points.

Some polls are conducted better than other in how the reach likely voters.

Part of this means, we're not sure which polls are accurate.

Also, I think some media centers love to make this a championship game that will go down to the wire to attract attention.

We'll soon see.....

This is why taking a broad average of all the polls has the best chance of filtering out all the crap and noise. CNN doesn't really do that, but realclearpolitics gives a decent look. It a pretty close race it would seem. Lots of undecided voters too.

The irony is that much of the pre election violence is coming from the progressive libtard crew.
They are losing it!

Good thing they've been disarmed already, certainly not responsible people around firearms.

The polls aren't going to tell you any more than you already know at this point. Now it's all about getting out the vote.

I check Real Clear's amalgamated polling. That's the best way, I think.

Still there are TONS of articles now saying....

"Oh, HRC is slipping."

"Oh, Trump cannot win."

Oh, Trump can now get 270."

Oh, HRC will win big.

I really don't get how anyone could still be undecided at this point.

What more do they need to hear or know to make up their mind.

It's not jus the undecideds they aren't accounting for but millions of new voters who aren't yet counted as likely voters.

Seeing the actual on the ground enthousiasm for Trump and the lack of, for the Clintons, the loyal progressive libtards are likely in for a rather rude awakening on tuesday.

Perhaps just hoping that a third choice that is better than just a lesser degree of repulsive magically appears? Unfortunately one of these two horrible people will in fact become president and voting boils down to choosing one of them.

I expect a large turnout because people realise how important it is to stop drumpf adding America to his long list of business failures

Lots of passion out there for Trump though. And against. Not much passion for Hillary at all, she's just basically been "not Trump". I think that's a bad position. I'd rather be the guy who engenders the passion.

I still think Clinton is going to win though....probably

This could be the case.

Many polling firms contact "likely" (regular) voters from their database and not irregular voters nor first-time voters.

^^If it were almost any other GOP candidate it probably would've been a cakewalk for them.

It still amazes me just how much willful self-delusion/disregard for facts and objective reality is required as a prerequisite to supporting Trump.

Early voting numbers coming from Nevada are not looking good for Trump at all. He's walking such a thin tightrope in terms of his path to 270 he really can't lose a state like Nevada. But hispanics are voting early and often there and that is bad news for his campaign.

If Hispanics turn out in record numbers there and in Florida its game over.

Yeah I agree, they shot themselves in the foot bigtime. Their entire field really was shit though.

If they DMC had not put all its marbles behind Clinton 2 years ago it would have been a cakewalk for them as well with Bernie Sanders being the next president. Two years ago I was with the people who run the DMC in northern California. I was vilified in that I did not want to support Hillary. Both parties offered shit choices this year.

Two most disliked candidates in the history of US POTUS elections from what I have read

Donald Trump Destroyed as Fact Checker Reveals Trump Lies 20 to 37 Times Per Day

Toronto Star compiles list of almost 500 Trump lies during campaign.

Trump has spoken almost 500 lies during his campaign at a rate of 20 - 37 per day and made 104 false statements in the debates compared to Clinton's 13, is being sued for fraud, still hasn't released his tax returns (and obviously won't now), has misappropriated funds from his own fake foundation, and has financially benefited himself, his businesses and his family from his campaign accounts...

And is viewed by some as the more honest candidate.

Mind on the flip side these are also usually people who want Clinton jailed for no proven crime or reason other than they dislike her.

This is the election of the Big Lie.

^His supporters don't mind at all though. But they do mind that Clinton used a private server, which was not illegal. Amazing the power of Fox News.

It just bemuses me that people can talk themselves into believing things that are not only objectively untrue but also ludicrously easy to disprove.
