    Election Update: Trump Gets Convention Bounce, Drawing Polls To Dead Heat

    But one method to measure the convention bounce is to look at FiveThirtyEight’s now-cast, our estimate of what would happen in an election held today. We don’t usually spend a lot of time writing about the now-cast because — uhh, breaking news — the election is scheduled for Nov. 8. The now-cast is super aggressive, and can overreact to small swings in the polls. But it’s useful if we want to get a snapshot of what the election looks like right now. It suggests that in an election held today, Trump would be a narrow favorite, with a 57 percent chance of winning the Electoral College.

    The now-cast also suggests that Trump has gained a net of about 4 percentage points on Clinton in national polls from a week ago, turning a deficit of about 3 points into a 1-point lead. If so, Trump would turn out to have a fairly typical convention bounce. Over the past few cycles, convention bounces have been 3 to 4 percentage points, on average. As is also typical of convention bounces, Trump appears to have gained in the polls (taking votes from undecided and third-party candidates) more than Clinton has declined.

    compared to everyone else they bring up, she'll be trash.

    Bill Clinton
    Barack Obama
    Michelle Obama
    Gavin Newsom
    Cory Booker

    All will have more energy and applause than what she will bring. She'll be booed on stage lolz

    This makes it all better...

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN105101

    The Democratic National Committee formally offered "a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email" and said it would take action to ensure it never happens again.

    This. Nothing would make me happier than that despicable party to go belly-up. I'm tired of their "goose-step with us, or you're a racist/redneck/sister-fucker/gun-nut-baby-killer/etc etc". They don't want individuality and equality. They want Nazis that goosestep in line with ultra-liberal values. There's NO middle-ground with them.

    I'm under no illusions about Trump. I don't agree with everything he says. While I like the idea of a wall on the border and deporting everyone in the Continental US....it's not even close to being realistic, and with very questionable legality.

    But he's not afraid of SJWs, and being PC. And that, to me, is SO refreshing.

    As a Moderate Republican, I just wanna be left alone. Leave me alone. I don't care about your weed, if Bill is fucking Bob, if a woman has a penis in whoever's bathroom.....none of that. Just leave me the fuck alone. Leave my guns alone, and leave me alone.

    Apparently, even Democrats can't do that simple thing. Which is one of the many reasons why I'm voting for Trump.

    1. Denny with his Hillary hate shit posts in every fucking thread is annoying. I don't like Hillary but jesus man, what you're doing is unhealthy.

    2. Bitching about fences is just stupid, you're missing out on the truly hilarious moments in the convention.

    3. Hahahahahaha! Surprise performance of Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Paul Simon as a way to peace and unity to the first day discord in the convention. HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is so sad. The Dems are just as clueless as the Repubs.

    Why Democrats won't let Bernie just have the night is so stupid. Repeatedly sending people out to scold the Bernie supporters is only going to piss them off and hate Hillary.

    Sounds like a Ghostbusters situation, try to shame and attack people into seeing your mediocre movie/vote for your mediocre candidate, then be shocked when your movie bombs/people don't vote for your candidate after you shat on them.

    Did Eva Longeria really mention that Texas used to belong to Mexico? This shit sounds like the Oscars with all of the celebrity douchebags there.
