Clinton v Trump
How about Donald Trump vs Anchorman?
“Your hair looks stupid!”
On 538, Arizona and Ohio just flipped back to pink.
I’m gonna puke.
Eh. They’ve got it coming to them.
I’ve said it more than once during this election year: Trump is a stupid person’s idea of what a smart person is like.
They were always close to 50%. There’s almost no difference between 49 and 51. There has been a tightening over the past few days, but it’s very slight, and even if it continued to tighten at this rate until election day, she’d still win by a comfortable margin.
People are already voting, and the vast majority of everyone else has made up their mind. There’s really not much left that can happen, and any big events are as likely to hurt Trump as to help him.
Reports breaking that FBI has new emails and is reopening the case. Chaffetz is jumping up and down with glee apparently. Here’s a link to Reuters - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rt.com/document/58138545c361881f5c8b46dc/amp?client=safari
Markets reacted noticeably, what I noticed first and wondered why.
He’s just one half of a hissy-fit away from demanding that his followers not vote for any Republican House member who doesn’t endorse, applaud, praise and adore. And there’s still plenty of time to light the fuse.
Groovy.
That’s a link to “Russia Today” not Reuters.

Nice way to drop a bomb 11 days out from Election Day. I expect things may get unpleasantly close. Shit.

You can see it clearly in a chart of the S&P not to mention Mexican Peso futures (which, seriously, is the most watched market benchmark for the election). What it ultimately amounts to before election time I’ve no idea.
That’s what I get for trying to post links from my phone.
Nonetheless, it is being reported on MSNBC also. And the link to Chaffetz account is correct.
Here’s the story on NBC - https://www.google.com/amp/www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/fbi-re-open-investigation-clinton-email-server-n674631?client=safari
kicks back of seat
Are we there yet?
Just asking, is there some actual journalism to back this up, or is some mook’s tweet all we’ve got?
ETA: just saw the follow-up post. Never mind.
Headline says “Reopen” a word that does not appear in the body of the text. They found some e-mails. They are going to look at them. Pretty much it.
You know, if the Dems were really that corrupt, they’d ask the FBI to look into the emails of some of these persistent investigators, to see if any of them had classified information in their emails. After all, they are members of congress, government officers and they do have access to classified information.
How do you Republicans feel about opening this investigation to including them?
From same link as above, CNBC
The FBI is probing new emails related to Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey said in a Friday letter.
“In previous congressional testimony, I referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to supplement my previous testimony,” Comey wrote.
“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation,” he added.
“Although the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work, I believe it is important to update your Committees about our efforts in light of my previous testimony,”
Things like this show people’s wishful biases. Whether it will have a big impact (no way to tell from that) as some people other places would immediately assume, or more relevantly here ‘is it some mook’s claim?’ when major news org links were already posted, and one could instantly find them oneself.

Hard to see how just “re-opening the investigation”, if that’s what they’re doing, has any significant effect. Sure, it doesn’t help, but whose opinion would this sway? I don’t think there’s anyone left that thinks Hillary is 100% honest and straight forward, and I don’t see how any conclusion could possibly be reached and put forward in the next 11 days.
Can anyone check PredictIt (I can’t check it right now)? This morning, I believe Hillary was at about .80 and Trump at about .20; it’d be interesting to see if this news has changed it significantly.
