I disagree. Every poll I've seen has Trump preforming better in a 3 or 4 candidate race vs head to head.

Hate to say it, but it looks like Gattaca may be right here (a first, mind).

Election Update: Is Gary Johnson Taking More Support From Clinton Or Trump? | FiveThirtyEight

The majority of pollsters (12) have Clinton’s margin over Trump shrinking when at least one third-party candidate is included. The difference in margins, however, varies among pollsters, and a few, such as Ipsos, have Clinton’s lead rising by the tiniest of bits when at least Johnson is included. Overall, including third-party candidates takes about 1 percentage point away from Clinton’s margin, on average.

I've been so happy to hear how harmonious and united the country has gotten suddenly and how race issues are so passe... it's such a different world than say, just a week ago.

Everyone knows that kitties are fascinated by boxes.

So he'll just let someone else figure out the financials of building a $25B wall? He'll let someone else draft an "Illegal immigrant roundup Bill" and slap his name on it? He'll let everyone else make decisions that his reputation will stand on? When has that ever been Trump?

Hilldog on the other hand, has delegated her entire career. It has always been just about power for her. The people around her will write policy, etc. I mean, someone pouring over details doesn't let the email hack, the server controversy or Bengahzi happen. She is an empty suit. Which in this case, is better than one filled with an orange stained Trump.

$25B wall... $2 trillion in Afgan/Iraq.... if you are going to dig holes and fill them back up shouldn't you at least do it in your own backyard? The idea that $25B is somehow insurmountable kind of makes me laugh. Talk effectiveness or ROI but to act like our government hasn't blown A LOT more than $25b on more ridiculous boondoggles is kind of funny to me. Far from a cost prohibitive number.

I would also argue that Trump delegates more on a daily basis than Hillary does in a year. Between his wide range of companies, TV shows, guest appearances, etc - there are only so many hours in the day yet things actually get done. Hillary on the other hand, WTF has she DONE? Positive I mean - I have a pretty good handle on all of her f-ups.

What the heck? I correct you all the time in multiple threads and I never get a thank you?

I honestly don't think I have ever been corrected before today because my grammar and spelling are impeccable. Is impeccable? I dunno.

Did you read any of my post or did you stop at $25B?

Because your response seems almost unrelated I'm the first part. I didn't argue anything about the wall.

Oh I wasn't talking about grammar, I just meant in general. ;)

That data is three weeks old, which is an eternity in presidential politics. Clinton was beating Trump something like 50-30 back then.

All the recent polls that have had Trump up 3 have him up 5 with Johnson and Stein included.

Did you not get past my first (tangential) paragraph? B/c the second seems to address your larger point.

Hey cool, I'll add that info to my dossier on you guys and update my org chart.

Feel free to look for racist posts of mine. You are a very angry man.

Chuckling and smiling as you said that. Other than Trump-bots and their dictator threatening to ruin our great country, and my 2 year-old's Terrible Two's, I'm about as happy as one can be. Pretty much smile all day. Keep up with that false narrative though...it's working great for y'all.

Silence equals consent. So I won't be silent on this. I could honestly give a shit if that offends the Trump sheep.

So anyways.

What happened to all of those bonus days of Wikileaks? I thought Asange had bombs in his back pocket that he'd be throwing out all week.
