Maddow is super smart and she can have some great analysis. On the other hand because she's so intelligent I get irritated when I feel she's being disingenuous or cheap in her delivery. No excuse then because she clearly knows what she is doing.
Have you guys seen her HS picture?

WaPo did a 50-state poll, biggest so far.
The biggest shocker is Hillary is LEADING in Texas. It's a joint Wapo/Survey Monkey poll. Survey Monkey has 0 bias according to Real Clear, and Wapo leans Dems by .6.
The Dallas newspaper which always endorses a Republican, came out with a rather scathing article today against Trump as well. They are not endorsing Trump, and do not consider him a conservative.
I'd imagine that this is an outlier poll, unless we see this a few more times. Let me go read that article...

Trump aint winning shit. I know some compare his rise to Hitler(why? He's not a trillionth as smart as Hitler) but he simply doesn't know anything about campaigning. Yeah he had that whole outsider thing going for him initially but that's over now and he never captialized off of it.
Florida is a key state...has been for eons.
Field offices in FLA....
Hillary-52
Trump-1Yes...one.
In other words, he has no support and clearly wants none. It's all a show.
Game over.
I initially laughed at the landslide shit but you can now throw me into that column. LIke Cramer said, these polls are secondary and EVs all that matter and Hillary is gonna dance across the finish line before the race is even over.
Not gonna predict the level of landslide as Reagan era landslides aint happening but I think it will be over long before polls close on the west coast.
He's like this with many things. For instance debate prep...not doing it in a traditional sense. He's not holding mock debates. He's simply hanging out with advisers and going over zingers.
Say what you want about Clinton, but she did that 12 hour Benghazi hearing standing on her head and came out the winner. How in the world can Trump go into this without doing his homework? He bullshitted his way through a weak field of GOP candidates, riding a wave of anti-establishment sentiment. That's not going to work this go-around. Much like his ground game isn't getting it this time around.

Lol who the fuck is Bill MItchell? I think I met him once....he's a realtor right? or a used car salesman?
haha, my boss said he can give you this price...but only today.
If I recall he's a right wing radio talk guy. His latest tweet is about Hillary having a coughing fit...so real gravitas and depth to his subject matter as you may imagine.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable HBO film about Trump's campaign. That will be hilarious.
There was a fantastic book about the 2008 election named "Game Change." What a killer read, just fascinating. I hope there is one about the inner workings of both campaigns this time, but more in particular Trump's. I'm sure it's going to be a juicy read. The inside scoop on Palin was terrifying, especially when you read that McCain's chief strategist, Stever Schmidt, later admitted that Palin "knew absolutely nothing" and her participation alone was reckless for this country.
Gotta love this tweet, can't remember if I posted it already...

National polling average currently has Clinton at +4. Check out Fox News' latest poll ...+6.
Still doesn't mean much to me anyway, all that matters are EVs.

Looks like all the other GnR/80s hair metal hedonism docs I've seen before....maybe we'll get a few new moments.

Donald Trump’s Mixed Signals on Immigration Roil Campaign
http://www.wsj.com/article_email/donald … NjAyNDYxWj
Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors stricter immigration controls, blamed Mr. Trump’s new advisers for his changed rhetoric—a move he said was intended to help Mr. Trump appeal to Hispanic audiences.
“Whatever remaining chance he had to win the White House is gone,” Mr. Krikorian said. “The fact now that he has betrayed his base on the signature issue that he ran on seems to me the death knell of his candidacy as a practical matter.”
Mr. Trump’s hard-line immigration proposals pushed his GOP primary rivals to the right. Sen. Ted Cruz said illegal immigrants would be forced out of the country and not be allowed to return. Sen. Marco Rubio abandoned his prior support for comprehensive immigration reform.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who argued during the primary that Mr. Trump’s plan wasn’t realistic, called his new rhetoric “disturbing,” in an interview Thursday with WABC radio in New York
“His views will change based on the feedback he gets from a crowd, or, you know, what he thinks he has to do,” said Mr. Bush. “That’s what politicians do in this country. That’s what Trump is trying to do right now. I find it abhorrent.”

Well, buzz, I used the facts. You see, I don't actually base everything I know off commercials or ads. I research. She is not taxing the fuck out of anyone, and I don't remember any ad where she claimed that was her plan, tbh. The rich are still going to be rich. No one will be made poor. They will be rewarded for investment.
Not so much? I used her own tv commercial to lay out her plan. Are you claiming her own commercial got it wrong?
Yes, a TV commercial encompasses a candidates entire job/economic platform. Sounds logical.
