Oh good, the unskewed crowd is out in August this time instead of October.

We’ve reached that stage of the campaign. The back-to-school commercials are on the air, and the “unskewing” of polls has begun — the quadrennial exercise in which partisans simply adjust the polls to get results more to their liking, usually with a thin sheen of math-y words to make it all sound like rigorous analysis instead of magical thinking.

Well Jesus Christ if this doesn't get you to donate $35 to Trump, nothing will. No, this isn't a joke, this is what you get (and once again with the "I alone can fix this")....

For $35 that might be a nice keepsake.

I was be facetious. There isn't enough room in Buster's wallet for a Trump membership card. He'd have to remove either his Ayn Rand fan club card or his Freeman of the Land travelers card.

I reluctantly bought a Trump mattress a few years ago (the price was good) and have been regretting sending money that guy's way ever since.

The Trump mattress is actually pretty good. If he could do for America what he did for my lumbar... well.

Trump has mattresses too? There has to be a Trump discontinued store for all the crap he's been involved with over the years. Or if not, there's a money making opportunity to relieve some of his followers cash from their wallets.

Whenever I see the Trump name on a product, I immediately think "tacky", and that was long before he was a presidential nominee.

Serta used to make Trump mattresses but dumped him a while ago.

You can still get the same mattress from Serta but don't have to pay the markup for the name.

Washington Post is pretty much calling election for Clinton in August:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...iracle-to-win/

The new Post/ABC survey shows 5 percent of Democrats defecting to Trump, a very normal level of defection.

But Clinton is already getting 11 percent of Republicans, a larger percentage than any Democrat has received over the last four elections.

Trump Says ‘I Want to Debate Very Badly.’ But He Has Conditions

http://time.com/4445182/donald-trump-debate-terms/

I'm sure he will debate "very badly".

This is the kind of arrogance Trump is hoping for. Make it seem like a given, no one shows up to vote, Trump steals the election. It's pretty much his only hope.

I think I'm starting to see why you're such a big Reza fan.

Trump just incited people to contemplate assassinating Clinton to stop her from appointing supreme court justices. Yup.

How badly does the GOP wish they had superdelegates to block Trump? They need to disavow him as nominee ASAP or the down ticket bloodbath will be historic.
