Tbh, I don't really think it's close at all. That's just my feeling.

Just telling you the poll. You have 2 at double digits and everyone else is in that 2-6 range.

The national polling average has Clinton at +5.4%. Which makes sense to me.

This just in from the AP:

After only averaging a 4-6 point lead nationally, Clinton concedes election to Trump.

"I mean, lets face it" Clinton said to a small group of 10,000 supporters, "Trump could easily have 160, 170 electoral college votes by elections end."

She later went on to say that a potential "200 electoral college vote victory" was not "the mandate" she had  hoped for.

Ms. Clinton thanked her waning supporters in a way only she could, by announcing that she would bring her campaign And announce her candidacy for the 2020 election today! In addition, she'll be running in 2024 if that doesn't work out. Granted, she will be 108 years of age by then.

In the final concession to Trump, Clinton somberly stated that she would never carry states like North Dakota or Arkansas - states like Alaska or Nebraska. And right there alone was the solid 13 electoral college votes that she seeks. "Without those states, I see no reason to continue. Congratulations Mr.Trump, on your hard fought victory. I look forward to you doing things in the White House that will make people completely forget about my husband's indiscretions." 

Mr. Trump could not be reached for comment, as he is currently filming episodes of "You're Fired" for the next two weeks.

Is this the ultimate troll?

#4784 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 464 weeks ago

My how this conversation turns in circles.

Everyone always says Hillary has done nothing. But when I look at Trump, I see an abysmal failure, as well. What has he accomplished? Being  D-list celeb?

Tell you what, if I inherited as much money as he did I bet I could do as well as he has without trying that hard.

If he were an NFL QB, he'd be Joe Flacco at best.

GNR have a plane, therefore they can't afford Sorum, therefore the show is shit? Really?

That's not what I said.

I didn't say the show is shit - as if anything with Axl and Slash together could be shit.  Lets face it - they could put you, me, and miss piggy as the rest of the band and with Slash on guitar and Axl on vocals it's going to sound awesome.

Of course they can afford sorum, like they can afford the plane, and most anything else when this tour is bringing in 100s of millions. But I have to ask why when the tour makes so much money are decisions being made that reduce the quality in favour of profit.

Let's face it - the perfect solution both for authenticity and sound output would have been to have Adler on the AFD song, Sorum on UYI numbers and Frank on the CD tracks.

That would make the show the best it can be. But it didn't happen because of $ which is absolutely absurd when you consider how much money each of these people have.

At least with Adler there's health questions, and with Izzy there's reliability issues, but with Sorum it just turns out they'd rather not pay him what he is worth - even if it means we have lesser drumming. I can't respect that - especially when you look at the size of the entourage they do cart around the world.

Miss Piggy costs more than Adler

Even his main talking point, immigration, was totally different four years ago. Back then he was against every single thing he is for today.

To me this video only fortifies the idea that Trump is an opportunist. He saw a weak party (GOP) and an angry demographic inside that party that he could exploit. He then sharpened his message to appeal specifically to that subgroup. It's clear though that he doesn't  mean any of it.

The thing I don't understand is....why?

Do you think his motivations changed as he went through the process?

I really don't understand why he would  even want the job. He could continue to barely work for a living. Continue living the easy life.

There's not an ounce of altruism in the man. There's just something I can't quite put my finger on it, but something never felt truly real about his candidacy.

Something tells me the post election season will reveal a lot about his original goals.

Do you really think Clinton only tells one 'lie' for every 10 Trump gives?

Sure. I've never seen anybody lie like Trump does. He's an outrageous liar, just continuous horseshit.

Again to claim they are "the same" here is just non sense and to claim she lies more than he does is just stupid.

It's not even lies either...it's constantly changing the context or being inconsistent about an objective or a certain metric. My how he loved the polls a month ago. Now, the liberal media is lying about polls .

Imagine Axl playing Risk..

Too close to real life those board games. They do actually play them out irl anyway. If Slash n Duff were able to recall, I'd say they'd bring up some bad memories of how Axl took over.. could lead to plenty of turbulence.. ugh, what a bad joke. What a series of bad jokes.

Sorry.

It's okay...my bad jokes spawned yours....

If it's any consolation, I came up with mine sitting on the shitter at dawn...the first thing I did today.

Is there a pic of Axl's plane?

TBH, imo, the plane isn't cool & im dubious as to what it's used for. Comfort? Slash & Duffer don't party anymore, right? So, what's the point of a party bus in the sky? Well, except to bone groupies.. eh. Nice work if you can get it of course.

I can think of a few purposes...

1) some place to plug in dialysis machines

2) gotta keep the viagra somewhere

3) since they all get along now, I'll bet one night a week they'll need a place for board game night

4) save money on hotels - every night they'll head beck to the plane instead

Just a few reasons...

You bet 25 the states will turn out exactly like that? I will certainly take those odds.

So you think that's what the result will be pollux tongue?

I find it impossible to predict anything by state, but if he wins I think he will win big.

Why?

I think it's pretty obvious for say....60 percent of the states.

If you look at the last 10 elections, more than half of the states have voted consistently along a party line.
