Jim Messina coming up on The Last Word

One of the brilliant architects of the Obama election strategy and one of the only persons whose opinions about election strategy I truly believe and respect.

Romney won Ohio on election day in 2012 but early vote helped seal it for Obama

We are going to find out just how good Hillary's ground game is. I was just reading that Romney actually garnered more election day votes than did Obama, but it was the Obama team's focus on early voting that helped him win the state. This is going to be so key.

Trump should not only delete his campaign but delete his life!!!!

Just go to a secluded island to never be heard from again!!! Saying he couldn't have sexually assaulted the People magazine reporter because "look at her" is disgusting!!!! Sexual assault is about power and control and the ability to exercise that power and control. This man is a disgusting piece of shit!!! I didn't think my level of disdain for this man could go any higher but it is actually at the point of HATE!!! I HATE THAT MAN!!!

Michelle Obama is DRAGGING Trump right now! FLOTUS like a butterfly sting like a bee

She is arguably the best surrogate that Hillary has. Female, woman of color, scandal free. I dare...DARE Donald Trump to go after her. That is a fight he doesn't want.

I recently moved to a much more Republican part of my state and have seen Trump signs come down

So my fiance and I decided to move further up in Maryland to get twice as much house for half the price and it is a more conservative part of the state. It is much more Republican and less diverse than the DC/MD suburbs we lived in previously. When I first began driving around and getting myself familiar with the local stores I noticed a lot of Trump signs. When I went to my bank to meet with a rep to go over some things he told me that its kind of backwards. He is of mixed heritage but said some of the people in my new town didn't think he was Black and would say disparaging things about Blacks to his face and he'd have to be like whoa whoa timeout.

My particular neighborhood I was lucky enough to have diverse neighbors. Interracial couple directly across the street. Black neighbors to the left and right of me. White couple across the street to the right and Latino couple across the street to the left. I'm near an army facility so I have a good number of military in my neighborhood. That helps with the diversity.

Anywho....ever since the tax issue and the leaked Billy Bush tape came out I have to say that I have seen several Trump signs come down where I know I had seen them up before. Instead, the person may have just another Republican candidate up but took their Trump sign down. So either they are just embarrassed to have it up and still intend to vote for Trump, or they really hopefully wised up and realized they have been had and will just vote down ballot. So I don't know what its like in other areas where some folk are but I've seen Trump signs come down.

It will be deny deny deny all the way til election day

Donald Trump is of course going to deny the allegations of these women all the way until election day, say that its a conspiracy against him, say that the media is in collusion with these women to help determine the election (meanwhile he's in collusion with Russia to help determine the election) and its just going to be an absolute worse shit show than the shit show it has already been. This is going to be a horrible next few weeks of the campaign. The next debate is going to be horrific and I really at this point can't wait until election day. I am calling and organizing to make sure that all of this madness doesn't depress the vote. If anything, this is more incentive to make sure we try and landslide his arrogant, sexual assaulting ass. I didn't think I could be more disgusted by Donald Trump and here I am thinking of him in a form I didn't think could get any lower.

People Magazine Reports New Trump Allegation

Joe Scarborough emodies White male patriarchy saying Trump put Hillary on the defensive

Donald Trump was a bully last night. He was an unhinged bully who skulked about and hovered around Hillary in a very creepy and predatory like manner. Joe and the rest of his ilk are framing this narrative that this put Hillary on the defensive. Hillary has swam with and destroyed bigger sharks than Donald Fucking Trump. She handled him the way a seasoned and intelligent person is and I am god damned tired of this bullshit about her being on the defensive, as if we are totally going to gloss over his absolute creepy and predatory manner of standing behind her with that scowl on his face. This bullshit about how he stopped the bleeding. He may have stopped the bleeding but its to the point where too much blood has spilled out and there was no pulse to the point where we are now talking about amputation.

So yeah...technically he's still in it but the damage has been done. But I am so beyond disgusted at how people are framing this in a way by saying "why didn't Hillary put him away last night" and "Hillary seemed unsure of herself" and "this was Trump's best debate peformance". We are so used to accepting mediocrity. This is so disgusting. I am now more energized than I have ever been to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am embarrassed as a male and infuriated that the media and others have normalized the racism, xenophobia, islamaphobia, sexism, and downright mentally disturbed nature of this son of a bitch to get to this point of being so close to being President of the United States. America needs to send a clear message next month that this will not be the UK's Brexit and show Trump to be the loser that he is.

KellyAnne Conway is in full alt right desperation mode!!!!

AND she just walked into a trap. Trump defended Bill Clinton from his accusers, calling Bill a victim and commented on how unattractive the women were. DISASTER!!!!!! I also don't feel sorry for her one bit!!!!
