southsider2k5 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 While it seems popular now because it always seemed that Hillary had the White House in mind, I see no scenario where Michelle Obama runs for an office. I think she is done with politics. What really interests me is what Barack Obama does after the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have major media making excuses for her own words, there is a major problem. One on side there are calls for calling a candidate a liar, but then you have this. This is why people have the concept of a biased and untrusted media. It is exactly because of pieces like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Michael McDonald – @ElectProject In Georgia today 91,951 people voted. 31% were African-American, pushing the overall African-American early vote percentage from 19% to 27% 7:34 PM - 17 Oct 2016 Trump's plan to depress democratic turnout doesn't seem to be working.

StrangeSox Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Texas, Georgia, Alaska and Arizona are polling closer than any of the swing states that Trump absolutely needs to even have a chance. Oh and Utah has had several polls showing it firmly being a three way race with McMullin, Clinton and Trump all in the high 20's.

I only know this because 538 had a piece about the [remote] possibility of McMullin becoming president last week.

And it would make sense NOT to include him as he missed ballot on quite a few states. I think the fight for the GOP will be between the Utah republicans/college educated whites and Evangelicals/high school grad white males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
