¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't feel too bothered about it, at least it made Nato put some US troops in Eastern Europe. As if Russia was ever planning on going into Poland  :lol

Ultimately this kind of conflicts gives all the major players what they want.

The Democratic nominee led 47-41 in the poll including leaning voters taken in the three days immediately following the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

...

Trump had a single-point lead, 44-43, in the CBS poll released last week after the Republican convention in Cleveland.

There have been a few polls that show her edging up since the convention. Not that polls at this stage overly matter either. They shift around based on what the media is focusing on so the tail end of the DNC convention mixed with Trump continuing to be an idiot on the current muslim family issue means she has probably gotten a bump.

You know I like to make fun of Trump but Crimeans do want to be with Russia and they weren't happy with the Pro-Europe government on the other side of the country, so he is not really wrong there.

These people don't need to be saved from Russia.

yeah, the referendum they held to make the decision to leave and the orderly governmental transition plan they instituted to become part of russia proves trump right

Buckle up, everybody:

"I'm afraid the election's gonna be rigged, I have to be honest," Trump told the crowd.

While Trump has often questioned the integrity of the primary contests in both parties, his newest remarks seemed to begin laying groundwork for him to contest the Nov. 8 election results.

It was a line of attack that longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone pushed on a podcast with Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos that was posted online Friday. Stone suggested voter fraud is "widespread" and said if Hillary Clinton wins a state like Florida after polls show Trump in the lead, the election would be "illegitimate."

"If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government," Stone said. He also promised a "bloodbath" if the Democrats attempt to "steal" the election.

Hillary Clinton emerges from her party's convention in Philadelphia with a restored lead over Donald Trump, having earned a 7-point convention bounce, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.

In a two-way head-to-head matchup, Clinton tops Trump 52% to 43%, and in a four-way matchup including third party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, Clinton leads 45% to 37% with Johnson at 9% and Stein at 5%.

He mad because of that trainwreck convention he had.

Trump seems to be giving himself an out if it looks really bad for him.  I have no doubt he would quit and blame the media and the RNC for torpedoing his campaign.

There's no way Trump will simply concede on election night. He's going to question the results under the guise of "people are saying x, I don't know," which is how he spreads all his FUD. I'm going to bet that the election will be called pretty early, ie once the west coast results come in. Hell before it's even called I'd expect his camp to be questioning results, specifically Florida where there will almost certainly be an increase in Hispanic turnout.

The one thing that I'm actually worried about after the election is people wondering what the "first woman president" is doing that's so different than her predecessors. The biggest difference between her and Trump is anything that has to do with immigration/foreign policy where she's a lot more pragmatic but I don't think she's going to pursue any moonshot type of idea on any domestic issues. Just incremental upgrades of Obama's agenda.

If she wins by a landslide, people expect big change. If it's anything less, then people wonder what was the big deal about electing her. If she loses in 2020, then the census gets all fucked again.

The surprising/exciting finding? Hillary Clinton has a 1-point lead in the state.

Imagine that! Utah going blue for the first time since 1964. Now that's the sort of thing that we'd expect to see in this bizarre, wacky year.

...

The KUTV report indicates that Clinton gets 36 percent of support to 35 percent from Trump
Quote
Well, we don't know — because the KUTV report is the only mention of it online.

The Salt Lake Tribune doesn't have a story about a new poll at its website. The Hinckley Institute at the University of Utah doesn't have any mention of it either. In an email to The Washington Post, the Tribune's Dan Harrie confirmed that there in fact wasn't a new survey from the paper. He speculated that KUTV was simply picking up a convention post-mortem the paper ran over the weekend — though there's no reference to a 36-35 result.
Other than that, the story was accurate.

Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father that Democrats and their allies media wide have been using to hammer GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump, has deleted his law firm’s website from the Internet.

This development is significant, as his website proved—as Breitbart News and others have reported—that he financially benefits from unfettered pay-to-play Muslim migration into America.
We tried it once your way, Khan, are you game for a rematch? Khan, I'm laughing at the "superior intellect."

Quote
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying in an interview Tuesday that he is “not quite there yet” in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official.

Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he singled out Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire, a state whose presidential primary Trump won handily.

With Ryan’s Wisconsin primary scheduled for next Tuesday, Trump praised the House speaker’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running “a very good campaign.” Trump said that Ryan has sought his endorsement, but that as of now he is only “giving it very serious consideration.”

“I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country,” Trump said. “We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”

Trump’s refusal to back Ryan represents an extraordinary breach of political decorum and signals that the Republican Party remains divided two weeks after a national convention in Cleveland staged to showcase party unity.
