    This poll is basically in line with the other, more reliable polls. This race is now neck-and-neck. We’ll see how the debates pan out, but if I were HRC, for the good of the country I would be actively considering announcing that Bernie Sanders would be the new Secretary of Labor or Education Secretary. There are several million young votes out there that need to be pulled in. I’m not a big Sanders fan, incidentally. On the contrary.

  3. We have heard that Hispanics and African Americans aren’t voting for Trump. Not sure how he polls so closely, unless the demographics are way off in the polls.

  4. So how do you like your “electable” candidate now, TPM? What does that say about her when she can’t easily put away the most despicable candidate the GOP has ever nominated?

    The election hasn’t happened yet, my friend. Maybe you should pipe down until then.
