Re: What? Trump earns a D+ for second debate...
D plus? Trump got a c plus in my view. Hillary a D minus.
Trump is probably going to win, especially if he kills it on the third debate.
The media have thrown everything plus the kitchen sink against Trump and he is still down by only four points.
He is not down 11. That would mean Texas, Alaska, and Indiana are in play. They are not.

If trump wins I'm going to...
Continue getting prepared for the destruction of America.
If Hillary wins I will do the same at the same pace. I don't trust either of them.

Let me guess. You live in Utah where we have a low unemployment rate, a large tech sector providing good jobs and people are generally happy.
Go outside of utah to one of the states devastated by NAFTA and high unemployment. Or just look at the empirical evidence.
Trump packs stadiums. People are turned away. Hillary can't fill high school gymnasiums even if they force the students to go.
Trump has more social media followers and likes
Republican Primary turnout was up 62% this year.
Democratic Primary turnout was down 21% this year.
In states like Pennsylvania people have been switching parties in droves.
The polls are the anomaly all other indicators point to Trump.
Now let's look at the polls. Many polls up to this point including Primary polls, the brexit polls, and the Columbia farc peace deal poll have been wrong. Not just wrong but wrong by a lot. Just as one example, every Michigan primary poll showed Hillary leading by double digits. Some as high as 20%. she lost Michigan. Even ace statistician Nate Silver said Hillary had a 99% chance of winning Michigan and that Trump only had a 2-20% chance of winning the primary. The exact quote was.
Our mileage did vary Mr. Silver. It was less than 100% and considerably more than 20%. Oh wait, it was 100%.“[C]ould Trump win?,We confront two stubborn facts: first, that nobody remotely like Trump has won a major-party nomination in the modern era. And second, as is always a problem in analysis of presidential campaigns, we don’t have all that many data points, so unprecedented events can occur with some regularity. For my money, that adds up to Trump’s chances being higher than 0 but (considerably) less than 20 percent. Your mileage may vary.”
So why are they wrong this year?
Because first of all the methodology is d+11 which means that Democrats turnout has to be 11 points higher for the poll to be accurate. We know from the primaries that Dem turnout is way down, and republican turnout is up. No reason to believe that won't carry over in the general election
Secondly, nobody responds to phone polls anymore. In 1980, the phone poll participation rate was 70%. The participation rate now is .9%. yes, that is a decimal in front of that 9. Phone polling is simply no longer accurate. The sample size isn't large enough for it to be accurate. They need to find new and relevant ways to poll.

Trump may very well lose Utah, but Utah has never decided a presidential election. I think it's going to be a landslide for Trump. He simply has the enthusiasm.

Re: What? Trump earns a D+ for second debate...
Here is the biggest problem I have with some of the people that are voting. Simply put they have no idea what they are voting for.
FYI, these videos are not based on her actual platform, but to show how dumbed down the average American has become. Most of these people would agree with Hillary Clinton, no matter what she wants to do or how radical it is.
Frankly, this is what scares me. The lack of intelligence amongst some Americans is mind boggling.
As one of the posters commented said "I feel like an IQ test should be required to vote right now." (Ashley Miller)
Plus, I thought we could al use a good laugh or two.
Just take a look at what people are willing to accept by voting for Hillary:

One more that I just found.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECx6vmFOVss" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Why are you voting for Hilary Clinton? )
All of these people say because she's a woman. Talk about sexist, not one person was able to give an intelligent reason on why they were voting for her, other than she was female.
I'm absolutely stunned on people making such an important decision based on nothing but a person's gender.
Never mind what atrocities she will lead this country into.

Trump 26%

Utah only has 6 electoral votes, not sure that it matters. Having a conscience does. Trump is going down!
Now if CNN picks this up, that would be news! Of course, CNN is not a valid news place either, only Brietbart and Fox.

Re: What? Trump Losing Utah!
You had better believe that not being able to carry Utah will matter. Trump, even starting out had no margin for error. He had to carry all the states that Romney did in the last election and pick up at least one or two others. Loosing a safe state like Utah is simply something he can not make up. There is simply no room on the map to make up this kind of problem.rewcox wrote:Since Brietbart is the only valid news place today, this DesNews article is probably meaningless.

Maybe if Trump loses Utah we can have a special musical featuring Miley Cyrus as the opening performance for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. We also need to make sure all our medical facilities offer abortion services, including those owned and operated by the church and as for those special sealings in the temple...

Re: What? Trump Losing Utah!
Sadly in the history of elected Presidents, there has been only once that an Independent was ever elected President of the US.
Want to take any guesses who that President was? It was George Washington
Since then the strongest showing for a third-party candidate came in 1912, when former President Teddy Roosevelt left the Republican Party. He ended up coming in second, with 27.4 percent of the popular vote and 88 electoral votes.
What does that mean for this election? If an Independent wins the electoral votes for that state, he unintentionally helps either the Republican or Democratic Party out instead, whomever has the leading electoral votes.
Which puts us right back to Square One: Clinton or Trump? History shows that one of them will be the next President.
To help with this decision, check out what Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, has stated recently (I'm a big metal fan):
"If you wanna know how things are gonna look, it's gonna be real simple to boil it down. If you wanna know what being with Bernie Sanders [as president] would look like, look at Venezuela. If you wanna know what being with Hillary Clinton [as president] would look like, it'll be more of the same. If you don't want either one of those things, the other choice is gonna be Donald Trump. Now, I think that because of the fact that Hillary may be going… [she] may be unable to run for office because of her criminal proceedings that look like they're gonna take place, it looks like the Democratic party is getting some people ready, like, in the back. You hear rumblings [of] Jennifer Warren (I'm pretty sure Mustaine was referring to Massachusettes senator Elizabeth Warren, who has stated she is not interested in running. )[sic] and Joe Biden still kind of hovering around and stuff like that. And the same thing is, like, why did Mitt Romney all of a sudden start talking up again. I mean, he's more outgoing right now against Donald Trump than he was against Barack Obama."
He went on to say:
"I believe we're right on the cusp where something super fantastic is gonna happen in our nation right now. I think that this election is gonna have explosive repercussions one way or the other, and if it doesn't go the right way, America is gonna be in a lot of trouble. But everybody needs to remember this number: it's article 25."
That pretty much sums it up. Mustaine knows what he is talking about. FYI, he has not publicly endorsed any candidate.

Look at the Clinton Foundation. Look at Benghazi. Look at Libya. Look at Iran deals. Look at arming rebels. Look at email scandal. Read the wikileaks documents on Hillary Clinton. Look at the Democratic primary race. Look at how she is colluding with the media and vice-versa. She is a part of the Gadianton order, hands down. Without accepting the fact that our society is corrupt to the core, it is incomprehensible to me that she is even a contender in this race. If I accept the fact that our society is corrupt to the core, then I can at least comprehend it, but that doesn't take the sorrow and the pain away.

Re: What? Trump Losing Utah!
McMullin has zero chance. Zero. Just think about this for a minute. Do you honestly believe the electoral college would ever pick anyone other than one of the main 2 parties candidate? And suppose they were dumb enough to try, would the american people accept a person as president that practically no one voted for? There was a huge outcry when Bush Jr won over Gore because Gore won the popular vote. Imagine the outcry if they chose a candidate that practically no one wanted.Mark wrote:“If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes.

Also, McMullin is almost certainly a Hillary plant with no other goal than to draw away enough Trump support to give her a chance in Utah. Good guys don't have the CIA and Goldman Sachs on their resume, but friends of Hillary do.

You are missing my point. I never said McMullin would win the general election. However he could throw a wrench into the process. We all know from scripture and more modern revelation that Satan will wage war on the Saints that will be unprecedented prior to the coming of the Lord by stirring up Babylon to fight against the humble followers of Christ. What if those troublemaking "Mormons" were seen as disrupting the election of one of Babylons 2 chosen gadianton party candidates in this con game being perpetrated on naive and stupid Americans who are basically clueless as to the reality of our day.

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies."

Re: What? Trump Losing Utah!
Thanks for clarifying. That seems more possible than the idea that he could actually win. I disagree about trump being a gadianton though, at least not the globalist types that are running the country now. They are doing everything they can to fight against trump. That's why almost all mainstream media and even many republicans now fight against trump. I see that as a good sign. As for McMullin, after seeing how much he is affecting Utah I've been reading up on him a lot. I'm more and more convinced he's backed by the GOP elite, the never trumpers, who are now coming out in favor of hillary. Helping her is the most likely outcome of McMullins campaign that I can see. Utah should have been an easy win for the republicans, but now Trump and Clinton are tied because McMullin has around 22% of the conservative vote locked out and wasted on him. He's funded by big GOP elites and has a shady past working for CIA and Goldman Sachs. His positions are pure fluff, with no substance, and much like obama, he's being touted as this great hero but nobody really knows much of anything about him.Mark wrote:You are missing my point.

Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies."

Trump is probably going to win, especially if he kills it on the third debate.

Re: What? Trump Losing Utah!
McMullin is in the running for the express purpose of throwing the election into the House, according to the Deseret News. I'm not too impressed with his work pedigree, myself. CIA guy, CFR member, has worked for Goldman Sachs, is a tool of the never Trumpers.Mark wrote:“If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote” (Office of the Federal Register, from the 12th Amendment).
This could make it interesting if someone like McMullin carried Utah. Who knows?
If McMullin or someone like him carries Utah, my own view towards my fellow Utahns is a feeling of sadness for them. Clueless.
Far from interesting.

I hope so but I don't dismiss what the status quo will do to stay in office.kennyhs wrote:I think you will be surprised at what Americans will do to keep the status quo out of office.shadow wrote:Do you really think Trump will win?
