I am really not getting it. Isn’t 100 plus days on or about election day? Why would their omission invalidate the point? For all we know, the textbook the article is referencing may have the graph you seek. But regardless, the candidate leading around this point has won the last 16 elections. That’s pretty daunting for the Trump campaign.
I’m going to guess that he thinks it’s relevant that the conventions were as early as they were, so that there were 100 days between the end of the DNC and the election.
Or, he may think Donald is gonna one-up (60 up) Jesus and sped 100 days in the desert eating freepers and honey.
They were early? I am no expert so just going by the wiki:
Are they late August more recent years? Still, it’s within a couple weeks.
it’s right there in Vox article graph.
only data for each election is 60 days from end of convention until election.
I don’t know how early, but I know they were early. I saw it referenced quite often. It has to do with campaign finance laws.
?
Yes, the graph excerpted for the article only goes up to 60 days after the conventions. Are you saying the graph would stop it’s upward trend if the had expanded to 100 days?
The major point of the article is in the written material:
Every.
Single.
Time.
good reading past headline .
Mcgovern , Mondale , Dukakis , & Kerry all held their conventions in July.
hope that " trend " continues. :rolleyes:
If he doesn’t trust our intelligence, where does he expect to get information from? The FSB? MSS? A magic 8 ball? Where?
Ivanka has her ear to the ground in Croatia recently…
Twitter, I assume.
Simple. Trump will consult with himself, “because he has a very good brain, and has said a lot of things.”
Seriously.
And he’ll talk to people. He talks to lots of people, and at some point, he’ll maybe tell us who those people are. But mainly he does not need the US Intelligence agents, because he knows everything himself.
Seriously.
The evidence shows to me that Trump is a big time follower of conspiracy theories, so his sources (besides neo-nazi sites) are Alex Jones and their ilk.
And Alex Jones already reported getting weirded out that Trump is talking about his mumbo jumbo.
Yep, as they say “Personnel Is Policy”, and the Breitbart people do love that stuff too. There are people that does believe that Trump will protect us, but in reality he is more likely to do the opposite when he is more willing to do huge goose chases based on what those mis-informers will tell him during his (less likely now) term in office.
If he wins we will all be in trouble as he is more likely to engender many Americans as a result of trusting fringe and crazy sources of information.
Well when I look at conventions since 1952, the period of time the article is talking about, they’re pretty all over the map. These are quite a bit earlier than the last couple but not really out of the ordinary.
Putin?
seems Trump’s new guy , Steve Bannon , " destroyed Anthony Weiner’s career " !!
and we thought it was internet pics . 
Kellyann Conway is great addition .
she’s great on tv .
Ah! Then the Republic is secure.
He’s already engendered five. That’s enough of a blow to the species. Please, no more.
So, JohnL, when we are 60 or 30 days from Election Day, and your guy is still trailing bigly, will it mean anything then? I trust you will still be here, right?
Kellyann good on TV? We have different definitions of good, I guess.
facebook and twitter, where else, duh?
