So when video surfaces of Trump rallies where people are shouting to hang Hillary, one cant help but wonder how long it will be until someone actually tries to do it.
    You made afreudian slip u just lied they say lock her up not hang her, you probably pass your nose when berniemodo's lot advocate to shoot trump. I havent got a dog in this fight but either way Hillary or Trump cant pull a Justinian the next 10 years for america is bleak reserve currency is going chinas way soon unless severe economic collapse happens there sorry pal but your american empire is over.

    There is quite a lot of information campaigns about modern-day slavery in the UK. it is a real problem, and a rather hidden one too.

    Trump ahead 2 points nationally according to the LA Times latest poll.

    Clinton is making the same mistake she made during primary season - playing it too safe, no clear message or easily identifiable goals, doublespeak on every issue...

    Eh, the rest of the polls have her up anywhere between 5 and 9 points ahead so yeah.

    In other news, the Trump campaign is claiming they will be pivoting on amnesty for illegals this week so we will see how that goes.

    That's why I said "the latest".

    Trump will generally be hurt less by an occasional 180. He managed to solidify a cult of personality among his base supporters. He really needs to do something extraordinary, like sexually assault the Pope or something for it to break down.

    I don't know, Trump becoming president doesn't seem that far fetched anymore.

    Her problem is a balancing act issue. The more she is in the public eye, especially in un-choreographed situations, the more she reminds people of how unlikeable and untrustworthy she is. Very beatable candidate, had the GOP been running a live one.

    I don't understand need more than milisecond to see that she is she a ruthless and dangerous woman. And of course a woman has to be ruthless to be where she is now but I can almost understand why some think she's the antichrist. These eyes, brrrrrrrr she scares me

    Trump is the best chance for Hillary to win the elections and the opposite.

    Could we add a public poll to the thread with four choices (Hillary, Trump, Johnson, Stein)?

    Agreed, I think the polls will be a LOT closer if anyone other than Trump was running on the GOP side.

    As for a poll here, Ill see if I can add one.

    Made a poll. Results will show the day before the election. Seems more suspenseful that way.

    Can't remember who it was (Trevor Noah?) who said that Trump and Clinton are the two luckiest presidential candidates in history - they're opposed by the one single opponent they can beat.

    Just a musing, what is known about the democratic vice-president if Clinton wins and resigns because of health-related issues (can just be fatigue of course but she looks drugged up until her eyeballs) but he will be president then.

    If you don't look/read quality-medialol there are plenty of moments to see where she is obviously confused and obviously has health problems. Question worth asking, who is the guy who will be president if Hillary resigns because of health issues

    If Hillary were to get sick or flee back to her home planet of Amazonia, the VP would likely be made president.
    Hillary's vp pick is Tim Kaine; as about as middle-of-the-road Democrat as you can get; competent and unexciting:

    Definitely a good thing. Hillary is going to walk into the White House under the delusion that she has a mandate, with everyone else knowing she probably would have lost if the GOP had nominated a homo sapien. Someone is going to have to pump the brakes on her agenda.

    Kaine is a decent guy, he was my governor. Probably not experienced enough to be president, but he's a better person than the two sociopaths currently running for the job.

    Outgoing UKIP leader Nigel Farage has urged Republicans to "get your walking boots on" and drum up support for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

    Trump is the candidate with more sympathy for brexit so it makes sense to suppoort him in hope that when he gets in power he'll treat us better, which we'll need.

    On the other hand a foreigner interfering in politics is both bad form and not exactly a good idea, as Obama showed us 2 months ago it can backfire badly.

    I'm torn on this.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
