What does science have to do with politics? While the current GOP is generally a more middle leaning conservative GOP, the GOP party is generally aligned with the Judeo-Christian belief system so it stands to reason that the GOP candidate is going to tow those fundamental party lines rather than risk losing what little support the GOP has right now. In this "everything is ok" culture I am a little more surprised when people get caught up in the creation vs. evolution narrative.

.

Why wouldn't actual scientific fact be an important factor in determining the next potential leader of our country? Oh right, there's plenty of Americans who think creationism is real and Mike Pence happens to be one of them (or at least appealing to them). When people are shocked about Donald Trump is representing the GOP just remind them that there is a sizable portion of the country that believes Jesus planted dinosaur fossils in the ground to test our faith in God, for some reason. At least people are generally trending towards being better informed with the % of creationists in America falling every year.

No truer words have ever been spoken.

 

We all know politicians are crooks and liars yet we are helplessly devoted to them. I was much happier when i was younger and didn't know a democrat from a republican. I trusted my instincts and the vibe they gave off.

That's fair, but that's why we watch sports pregame shows as America to get analysis and predictions. Or else it would just go right to the game if no one watched them. As far as the media doing it on purpose one way or the other I disagree. A Hillary supporter could very well not vote either, saying why bother I got other things to do and she's gonna win anyways. I am basing my statements more so on predictive models like 538.con. Really cool site, you should read his analysis of different aspects of polls.

 

538 is now making the left sweat. Now says Hillary only has a 64% chance of winning the electoral college. Much much less than a few weeks ago.

64% is still pretty darned good, but certainly not a "sure thing".

so apparently FBI director Comey has said nothing has changed since July, no charges on these new emails found.

I call bullshit. they went through 650 thousand emails already?!

FBI/Comey hands tied by DOJ/Lynch/Obama, who want Clinton to win. corruption all the way to the top.

I hope we get more and more and more leaks, especially from those within the current FBI to what I think is a coverup.

 

I think they still have the investigation into Clinton Foundation, so there is still a chance at charges. but I'm not really expecting much.

 

I have a bad feeling Clinton will win on Tuesday, thanks to corruption and rigging.

It's a dark time in America when American journalism is totally o e sided

 

American journalism has always been one sided, most journalist are educated.

What are you talking about? There have been vast reports that indicate the FBI was actually doing this stuff for Trump and the left has a fire brigade out to get rid of Comey. Not only that, but 650 thousand emails? Where did you get that number? Either way I sift through 100s in a day by myself. Rigging? Any evidence of this? You are being ridiculous. Ehh I don't care what you say. I'm not even gonna fact check this bologna, you will keep thinking more of the same. See you Wednesday.

Great, glad your reading something that is difficult to misinterpret quotes and has some actual facts. Also okay with what you said about Trump getting closer. If you can feel good about someone who uses slaves (yes threatening workers to build things for you with deportation and not paying is slavery), molesting women (he said he did and 16 women have said he did) then more power to ya. Whatever floats your boat dude

Jim, I have now officially placed you on the Clue Transplant list. You are in desperate need. I'm sorry that there are many pending recipients in line before you, so it will take a while. (And, in the event of a Hillary win tomorrow, that does not mean that those who do not vote for her are the ones lacking the clues; it may just mean the list will be a little longer. Good thing you are on it before them!)

If you knew anything, anything about me, you might begin to scratch the depth of my despair when I read things you and the far-left write when you either directly say or at the very least imply that anyone who is not for Hillary is a misogynistic cretin, anti-humanity, anti-science neanderthal. Trump? I agree he is far from the ideal human. So is Clinton.

I am going to spend tomorrow night as I have once a month for the last 15 months, with my friends of the Democrat Party. I will be joining them at an election-watching event. The group includes major donors to the Democrats (thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars), some people currently employed by the County (2 million people in the county) Democrat Party, and the former chair of the County Democratic Party. My wife, who worked on the Real Clinton's (misogynist though he was/is) first campaign, will be joining me. I'm sure that you're going to be spending the evening with your friends in the Republican Party where you live, because surely you've been having meaningful face-to-face conversations over an extended period with them and gotten to know them quite well too(?).

I remain firmly rooted in my belief that only someone who would actually be hire-able by a federal governmental agency should be allowed to be President. I'm pretty sure that Hillary could never be hired by the State Department or the Justice Department due to her rampant intentional mis-use of her emails, whether or not she "intended" confidential emails to be hacked by foreign agencies. Now, you clearly are of the opinion that someone who was sending emails marked 'c' (confidential) to her daughter, someone who had her maid print out confidential emails, someone whose private server containing confidential US State Department emails has been hacked by 5 foreign agencies, and someone who if elected is going to require a Presidential pardon in the next 7 weeks just to avoid the ignominy of impeachment proceedings within a year of election would be hire-able by the State Department and the Justice Department and is qualified to be President. To quote the famous 2Dokes: "Whatever floats your boat dude".

When Hillary wins, I will congratulate her on a campaign well-executed. I will be saddened by her likely appointing justices to the Supreme Court that will lurch this country far to the left instead of somewhat neutral territory. I will be accepting of her as my President and will continue to oppose many of her policies. That does not make me ill-informed or misogynistic or anti-science or anti-human. Just different in thought and opinion from you.

650 is the number leaked by the FBI. thankfully there have been reporters with sources from the FBI that leak information.

Comey's letter said nothing has changed, which still means Clinton was extremely careless handling classified emails. this is the woman (Clinton) who said she didn't know what the © was for classified.

 

 

there has been numerous evidence in rigging/voter fraud. start right at the top with Obama's justice department and his appointed Attorney General Lynch, the same person who had a meeting on the tarmac with Bill Clinton before the last announcement in July.

there have also been videos showing voter fraud by different Democratic people.

 

we also have leaked emails from Podesta/DNC that said they planned on smearing Trump with false accusations (swift boating). these women and their fake stories from decades ago only now come forward in 2016 before the presidential election, how convenient.

 

Clinton is still being investigated for the Clinton Foundation, and information this morning that funds helped pay for Chelsea's wedding.

 

Trump certainly isn't clear of doing questionable things, but to think/say that he is worse than Hillary Clinton is preposterous.

leaked emails proved the Democratic election was in the bag for Clinton, and no doubt so is the presidential election.

I will say this about those "leaked" emails by the FBI. You're not TMZ. Either you have something important and take action or you keep your mouth shut until otherwise. This latest episode to try and sway the public on Election Day is borderline criminal. :). No other FBI director has ever done such a thing. In fact, it's against the law. But whatever, people are arguing over the two worst candidates this country has ever seen. Good luck to us all for the next four years. Hopefully, we'll have better candidates then...

there were better candidates this year. Bernie Sanders had a lot of support, but it was all predetermined that Clinton would win.

I think Trump won for the Republicans because enough people in America could see how bad/corrupt some in government are and Trump was the more outsider choice to take on Washington.

Ya how in the world could the world's premier (and best funded) investigative agency filter through 650,000 emails in 8 days time?!?!?! What sort of magic were they using? Computers?!?!

 

There's no rigging, there's no corruption; more people want Hillary Clinton to be president than Donald Trump. Why is this so difficult to believe?

I doubt trump would be a great pres. but at least we wont be a socialist country with no borders if Hillary was elected. 4 years under Hillary scares the hell out of me. just look to Europe with their loose immigration laws and open boarder policies. they are all looking back and saying why did we do this, the US needs to wake up and not repeat there mistakes. this is what Hillary wants to be. once you go down that road theirs no turning back.

Edward Snowden(yes that guy) just came out and said the same thing. Could had went through those emails in hours using computers. So why did it take him so long to dismiss this? Why did Comey after getting a warrant not rush through these computers to get answers? Why did he instead let them leak then come out 9 days later? It just looks bad on Comeys part. Like he's out to get her.
