FYI, here's the current projection by the people at FiveThirtyEight, who are pretty good at calling elections:

Shit's getting serious.

Nah, I'm kidding. But it's probably not the best idea to post things like that.

You like Trump? Or rather, you'd like him being in charge of the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, and by proxy the largest economy? Being able to make or break global economy just by running his mouth? Wouldn't surprise me, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Sometimes the lesser evil is good in comparison.

You like Hitler do you?

You want him to come back to life and clean up the jews and establish the fourth reich?

So how are we supposed to understand your thoughtful statement? Given the possible choices.

We never do.  Don't worry.

I certainly don't care. The Left has been warning Sanders supporters that this would happen. The Democrat Party is only interested in winning elections, it's quashed every progressive campaign that has tried to promote itself within the Democrat Party system. That Bernie Sanders would submit to the Democrat Party status quo was only a matter of time.

I thought Bernie did a nice job ripping Trump a new asshole.

The last polling I saw had six seats closely contested, with Dems leading in three of those races, Reps in two, and one too close to even guesstimate. IIRC, two of those were in swing states, Ohio and Florida, and one was Pennsylvania.

Let us hope Trump's candidacy drives Democrat turnout.
