I'm ready for HILLARY..

She'll be a GOOD EXAMPLE to America's women. Not "nasty woman" tattoos NOR "Trump can grab me by the _____" tshirts.

Hillary's gonna bring some Establishment back again, in this country. And manners, and old fashioned political correctness and no Jerry Springer stuff.

Hillary's a good Methodist from the Midwest.

The researchers looked at cortisol levels based on whether participants had someone close to them who planned to vote for the opposing candidate. And for Trump supporters who had a conflict with a person close to them — a parent, a sibling, a spouse — cortisol levels actually went up after the debate. They probably found the debate more stressful.

Well anyhow, has anyone looked at 538 blog?

Here's how things stand..

HRC's odds have been holding STEADY for quite a few days at around 64%, so that was good (they had been falling).

And lately, her odds numbers have gone UP.. it's now at 68.5% chance for her to win.

A *good sign* -- nate silver has Florida leaning BLUE now, so that's huge.

I heard Trump on tv, he was saying "why would you vote Hillary? I've lived in Florida all my life, Hillary's got nothing to do with Florida."

Well, maybe most of Florida doesn't want anything to do with what Trump is offering, in sum total.

If HRC wins Florida, then that's it, it's done, there's no path for Trump without Florida.

If Trump wanted to win.. what he NEEDED to to.. was swing center and he just never did. He loves these Republican base rallies that he got used to, in the primaries, but he needed to learn to love centrist suburban people and latinos too.

He keeps having huge rallies but really, it's the SAME people.. and it's most likely not enough to win the WH.

P.S. And inviting hostile foreign powers to cyberattack our country was beyond the pale.

My goodness, what a hot mess Trump has been.

I think I trust nate silver's predictions for FL going HRC, but just to note, some other analysts are predicting Trump will barely win Florida.

A prominent latino Republican is voting Clinton:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')na Navarro: I'm voting for Hillary Clinton -- and against Donald Trump



I didn't want to write this. I avoided making a decision as long as I could. I schlepped my absentee ballot all over the country for almost four weeks. I would periodically take it out of the envelope, look at it, shake my head in disgust, and put it back in my suitcase.

I had decided to write-in my mother as a symbolic protest vote against the Democratic and Republican nominees. I didn't want to vote for either of them.

I had hoped that a week before the election, Trump would be losing Florida by a large enough margin that my vote wouldn't matter. But darn it, my home state is too close to call. Florida could be the decisive state (again) as to who ultimately becomes the next president of the United States. I thought back to the 2000 election, which was decided by 537 votes in Florida. I thought about how I would feel if the same thing happened in 2016. I thought and I thought and I thought....

Then I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton. Let me rephrase that. I cast my vote against Donald Trump. I did it without joy or enthusiasm.

I did it out of civic duty and love for our country.

I voted against Donald Trump because I am an immigrant. Trump has spent this campaign focusing on the very bad things done by a very small group of very bad immigrants. He has portrayed immigrants as criminals, rapists, and murderers. He does not talk about the contributions immigrants have made to America.

He does not talk about immigrants who have made this a better and stronger country. He does not talk about the thousands and thousands of immigrant names that fill the Vietnam Wall in Washington or that are carved on so many headstones in every US military cemetery around the world.

I voted against Donald Trump because I am Hispanic. On June 16, 2015, the first day of his campaign, Trump called Mexicans "rapists." I was not born in Mexico.

I am not of Mexican descent. But I knew he was also talking about me.

Good points, 6S. (Ignore P, he just seems to be in a bad mood today.)

Basically, what Trump (and P) is saying here can be summed up in this immortal song of Groucho Marx:

"The last guy nearly ruined this place,

He didn't know what to do with it.

If you think this country's bad off now,

Just wait till I get through with it!"

Clinton has finally come up with a slogan to most clearly set her apart from her opponent:

In Final Appeal to Voters, Clinton Changes Slogan to “Won’t Blow Up Planet”

Meanwhile, the last batch of last minute polls just came in and they seem to be favoring Hilary pretty strongly:
