    It said Trump supporters are falling for a guy...who is a con man. There is a good chance Trump is not even a billionaire based on analyst looking at his available finance data. There is a reason he never released his tax returns besides his lack of paying taxes.

    In the future, when someone wishes to describe a fool easily swayed by a con artist, they'll say, "He's a Trump. Totally delusional and dangerous."

    Sigh. Can we skip the conspiracy theory part and go right to the part, where, probing for a weak spot, I mock your education/income/etc and then you get mad and explode? Just get mad and explode. I don't want to do or read the rest.

    Just be glad he didn't say "Ultimate Truth" and challenge you to a winner-leaves-town match.

    Honestly, I just like looking at Ainsley Earhardt before work. My low education doesn't allow my brain to function until I arrive at the office.

    I wonder if we will see another trump video leak this weekend.

    He was closing the gap in the betting markets, but today he's back down.

    I've said this off and on for years, but I think the whole "wisdom of crowds" approach to political elections is a lot more reactive than it is where instead of making an independent judgement that, when aggregated, gives crowdsourced "wisdom" its value, bettors bet on others reactions (or follow the polls) - which tends to undercut a lot of the preconditions for it to have real value.

    The other issue is that the dollar amounts are low enough that they're subject to individual manipulation (by campaigns....). If I recall somebody did this in either 2008 or 2012 and moved the odds by basically throwing away some money on the mccain/romney - then it generates some news stories of the line moving in your side's favor which is effectively what you "bought".

    Not enough has been made of the fact that we are considering putting a person into the Whitehouse, born Melania Knavs, who was programmed by full-on Soviet propaganda of the former Yugoslavia for her entire life until age 19. I'm sure there are pre-programmed words that Putin can speak when the time is right.

    This was likely done by a white racist.

    Most white racists support The Donald. See Donald's KKK endorsement.

    Thus, connecting the dots, the burning of a black church was likely done by a Trump supporter.

    Denial is more than just a really long river in Egypt.

    I think it's going to be hilarious if Trump gets a lot of the women vote. I mean...how could he even come close to winning this election unless a lot of women are voting for him?

    Women won't vote for Hillary a woman in lieu of Trump the insult dog with no political experience? They would rather vote for a man who belittles them and obviously doesn't see them as equals?

    Hillary is that bad of a candidate that women are foregoing the election of the first woman to be president and voting for Trump the no experienced Twitter bullying womanizing backstabbing candidate? I cannot believe that would be true. I could understand men not wanting a woman president. But, I can't understand women getting to the point where they would ignore the possibility of putting their own gender in the White House. When it comes to equality of men and women in the workplace, there is no higher job where that equality can be made than the POTUS. Are women just going to ignore that and vote for the guy who talks to everyone like they are idiots as he dumps on Hillary as his lone way of achieving presidency and lobs insults on Twitter at people who don't back him? His only MO seems to be to beat Hillary down so badly on that email scandal that the only choice left is to vote for Trump.

    Is the idea this election is going to be extremely close just a big farce? This election will be won or lost by the vote of women imo. And, if they vote against their gender...I could understand some of these Republican party women doing that. But, I couldn't understand anywhere near an equal or majority of women voting for Trump for those that vote.

    As the Cato Institute’s Julian Sanchez writes, attempting a prosecution for non-malicious mishandling would likely result in the statute being held unconstitutional: “the Supreme Court’s opinion in Gorin v. United States (1941), which suggests that the Espionage Act’s intent requirements are an important feature that save it from unconstitutional vagueness.”

    This legal analysis is important because it makes it clear that even if the Weiner laptop emails aren’t simply client-side copies of the exact emails the FBI already has, there is essentially no chance it will change the ultimate verdict. The reason Clinton isn’t getting locked up is that there was no malign intent. Finding another email with classified information on it won’t change that conclusion.
