General Election Thread: Two Weeks Out

Pence's plane slid off the runway at LaGuardia. Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt.

Trump's vote margin in Randolph will be more than double Hillary's margin in Forsyth....even though it only has about 1/3 as many voters.

Here are the 2012 totals:

Forsyth (174,069 total votes):
Obama - 92,323 53.0%
Romney - 79,768 45.8%

Obama margin - 12,555 votes

Randolph (60,715 total votes):
Romney - 45,160 74.4%
Obama - 14,773 24.3%

Romney margin - 30,387 votes

I hardly ever see a person who is going to vote for Hillary in the course of my day-to-day travels & activities. (Of course, I don't hang out with any sheltered WF elitist millennials.) This is only anecdotal, of course, but I went to our agency's annual family picnic last Saturday. There were roughly 20 financial reps & administrative employees there, along with wives and children. To my knowledge, not a single one of the 40 or so adults there will be voting for Hillary. Also, I went by the Randleman Fire Dept the other day. It is close to my house and I have a lot of friends (and clients) there from my 18 years on the city board, so I drop by there fairly often. I think there are roughly 15 or so firemen in that department and, as far as I could tell, not a single one of those guys is going to vote for Hillary.

I realize that there will be a lot of people who are going to vote for Hillary. I'm just saying that I hardly ever actually see any of them personally. I would say that Hillary will get less than 10% of the votes from people I know personally. Maybe less than 5%.

We already knew all of this. You live in an isolated rural white Republican area, and you fit right in. Your views and opinions are reinforced by people just like you every single day. I'm not sure how long you've lived there, but I bet it's been a very long time. How do you imagine you'd have turned out had you grown old in a heterogenous community instead of a homogenous one?

Do you assume everyone in Randleman is an upper middle class white person?

Not at all. But given Trump's problems with college educated white folks, it is no suprise that he is doing well in a shithole like Randleman.

I mean, when the armpit of NC is where you go as a step up from your town, you know you live in a fucking dump.

So Clinton loyalists have been lying all this time. Shocker.
 
turns out the Russia/Assange wikileaks "slow drip" strategy has done nothing. While they're dribbling out these emails, people have already made up their mind and voted, in large numbers. If they wanted to damage Hillary they should have dumped them all at the beginning of October to give Donald more attack points in the last debates and give him time to make TV spots using the material in the emails. Now whatever comes out is getting no attention at all except in the alt-right subreddit. I'm assuming the Russkies don't understand how campaigning, ad buys, and early and absentee voting work in the US.
