I'm starting to like the Green party.

I'm starting to like the Green party.

That's actually the Jedi party. The Sith party uses red lightsabers and deals in absolutes.

Swing-state stunner: Trump has edge in key states

The race is so close that it's within the margin of error in each of the three states. Trump leads by three points in Florida — the closest state in the 2012 election — 42 percent to 39 percent. In Ohio, the race is tied, 41 percent to 41 percent. And in Pennsylvania — which hasn't voted for a Republican presidential nominee since 1988 — Trump leads, 43 percent to 41 percent.

...

In another blow to Clinton, a McClatchy-Marist poll of registered voters nationwide released on Wednesday showed Clinton's lead over Trump slip to three points, 42 percent to 39 percent, after leading by six points in a Fox News poll conducted in late June.

The polls from the Connecticut-based school are likely to be met with some skepticism. When Quinnipiac released their first round of polls in the same three states two months ago, they prompted a round of sniping from Democrats and an F-bomb on Twitter from Nate Silver, the FiveThirtyEight founder who has built a career using poll results to make political predictions.

But subsequent polls later confirmed the May Quinnipiac surveys: Trump pulled virtually even with Clinton nationally after knocking out his rivals for the GOP nomination.

It’s possible the results of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s private email server dating back to her service as secretary of state — FBI Director James Comey called Clinton and her staff “extremely careless,” even as he said the government shouldn’t press charges because there wasn’t evidence of criminal intent — are driving Clinton’s poll numbers down leading into the conventions, typically a critical time for campaigns.

This would split the liberal vote like with Roosevelt and Taft and make Trump more likely to win.

Silly billy. Hillbots aren't liberals!

I'd rather have a Commie like Bernie than a Nazi like Trump.

Please tell me you know that "Nazi" is short for "National Socialism".

By the way, Bernie has a lovely new beach house. Good to know he's such a man of the people, a man of principle. LOL, all you Bernie folks got taken for a ride.

So Bernie bought a house, big deal.

 

[Chris Craig]

As much as I like Bernie, taking over the green party ticket would help Trump win...he won't do it

He should obviously never buy anything that not every single American can afford!

He's for Hiliar.

Sellout.

Sellout.

He's doing what he thinks is the best and I can't blame him too much for it. Do I think Hillary will actually follow through with her promises to push progressive ideas? No.

I won't be voting for Clinton or Trump but I'm pretty sure if I absolutely had to cast my vote for one of them, it would be Clinton. Trump is just a complete piece of shit in my opinion.
