General Election Thread: Two Weeks Out

The juxtaposition of "the gays got what they deserve" tweet and the very next one calling on Hillary to return money to countries that discriminate is mind boggling.

In an era of moronic concepts the highlighted one may be the stupidest of all. It makes less than no sense to give money back to "countries that discriminate" so that they spend on discriminating MORE.

I would make a sizable bet that probably 75% of those who want the money to be given back due to "discrimination" are also supporters of "religious freedom" laws.

It makes more sense than your Trump analogy. He's a guy who uses the establishment to get his projects done on a daily basis. He gives money to everyone in the establishment to help himself. He is the establishment.

To your point, there's been no advertising in Texas.

Anybody in swing states seeing ads yet?

Hillary's first major ad buys are in NV, CO, IA, OH, NH, VA, NC, and FL. All swing states that Obama won twice (except for NC). Lock those down early and then chose among AZ, MO, IN, GA, and UT. Interesting that Dems aren't spending yet in PA, MI, and WI. Hillary and Feingold both up 9 points in WI now.

Not popular, but MI GOP Governor Rick Snyder already publicly announced he won't vote for Trump. Same for GOP Governors in MA and MD. Kasich's a purple state Governor who's still refusing to endorse Trump.

Trump's scheduling his rallies around fundraisers, but silly to hold rallies in TX and GA. Needs much more help elsewhere. Trump's campaign may have learned a lesson in Richmond. Held their ATL rally at the Fox rather than Philips Arena.
 
Everyone saw this, right?

Whoever wins this year’s presidential election might want to call this Chicago-area eighth-grader up as a speech writer.

Jack Aiello is a young teen with big dreams ahead of him — and potentially a slot on "Saturday Night Live" or in the White House.

The Arlington Heights middle schooler has quickly garnered Internet praise for his hilarious graduation speech, which included impersonations of the 2016 presidential candidates.

Trump isn't going to campaign by location. He's going for media coverage and crowds.
 
Cruz is a weasel, but he beat Trump in IA & WI, two average size Midwestern contested states that Trump needs. As flawed as both Hillary & Cruz are, both had strong data mining operations. Cruz's campaign manager said that strong data mining could add 3-5% in a general election. That would be the margin in many swing states in a one on one election between Trump and Hillary, but Johnson takes at least that much from Trump in the West. Trump doesn't believe in data mining even though it propped up crappy candidates Cruz & HRC.

He could be right in an election that is basically equal between two competent,close vote. If you have extremists or loons, i'm not sure ho much it would help them.

Don't think it was blind luck that Obama swept all the swing states except for NC & IN in 2012. While clearly not as strong as Obama's team, Mitt's team was much more quantitatively oriented than Trump's team will be. HRC's campaign won't be as aggressive as Obama's, so doubt they make big reaches for states like GA or UT unless they see high probability of success.
