Iran nuclear deal goes up in smoke. Wonder what that does to the oil market. Does OPEC still cut at end of the month?

From the same livestream:

Even More Recent Polling Misses

Yes, this probably wasn’t a huge polling miss — it looks like Clinton will win the national popular vote by 1 percentage point or so, not the 3 or 4 points she led by. But it’s still a miss, and what looks like a decisive one. Earlier I mentioned some other recent important polling misses worldwide — and readers reminded me of a few I didn’t list. They include the recent Colombia peace referendum, plus general elections in Argentina last year and in Brazil in 2014.

Trump apparently only got one point more of the White vote as compared with Romney. Hillary and DNC really overestimated their support from minority voters.

Are we sure it does?

It was good for Trump to rant about to the uninformed, but it might be pretty low on a priority list.

I honestly wonder who's actually going to be doing the work and guiding policy. Pence I suppose, seeing as Kasich was offered both Domestic and Foreign policy to be the VP nom.

Oh yeah that'll be fun.

Iranians are saying let them elect Trump so they know the hell we went through with Ahmadinejad.

Holocaust denier? Pffft, Trump can almost compete with that.

Brexit, Trump, I fear protectionism will sweep the globe. I also fear it will embolden ultra-right demagogues all over Europe, especially.

Sorry, you don't have any right to tell me or any of the other mods how to feel out of ignorance.

Never going to change as it's in our DNA. I have accepted that people are going to be people and we aren't sheep that can be herded to share all beliefs nor can we control our inherent flaws.

Honest question: will he still release his tax returns this month? Didn't he say in November?

So if things were covered with outrage when outrage is appropriate it would be more effective. Same with Clinton and the emails / wiki / everything that the level of outrage became noise.

If the Pro Hillary leftist media is to blame for Shillary losing, it wasn't something they did intentionally. I think people are finally starting to see through their shtick, the favouritism was just to much. You try to coerce somebody to do something, the natural response is resistance.
