Four more months!
It's the first time in many many decades a party will win the White House back to back.

Survey Monkey? I'll pass on that.

If surveys meant anything, Sanders would have been promoted by his party since he was the only candidate showing a consistent lead of Trump and generally by 10 points. So?

Yeah, I think that as more people tune in for the banter on the FBI report, we'll see some "morphing" going on in the polls, unless they are being manipulated by the great manipulator or say Time Warner who owns $700,000 worth of Hillary and has extensive holdings:

Well that's no surprise. I think that against a generic Republican she likely would have lost.

FYI, there are no guarantees until election day, so put your pom poms away.

And the SCOTUS nominations are reason enough to vote for Trump.
You are kidding yourself if you think Trump would really nominate conservative justices. He's pandering to his party until he wins. Then he will nominate whoever the hell he wants. This is the same guy that said his sister and an Obama appointee would make great justices several months ago.

Yeah... since 1980/1984/1988 when Reagan/Bush won 3 straight terms... which is the only time a party has won 3 straight terms over the last 60+ years. In every other election following a parties 2+ terms in office (1952,1960,1968,1976,1992,2000,2008) the other party won.

I have no doubt... and the above mentioned trend would have continued.

It's too bad really... If I had to bet on November it would be difficult for me to put money on anyone but Hillary due to the fact that 1 out of every 3 Hillary supporters are just as stupid as the other 2. Bottom line is her supporters don't care how corrupt she is.

At any rate, I won't be voting for her.

And you're kidding yourself if you think the country wants another four years of Obama. Crooked Hillary's days are numbered. Her lying days are what will cost her the election. Comey's statements prove she's a liar. You liberals are okay with that, but that doesn't surprise anyone.

And stop with the delusions. Whoever Trump nominates will have to be vetted by Congress. If by chance Trump did nominate a liberal, that nominee wouldn't be approved by Congress, just like Obama's latest nomination.

Trump's going to have a very hard time winning this election. The ads against him already with him making many incendiary comments are sure to turn many voters off, especially women and older people. My 77-year old mother used to like Clinton in the 90's but can't stand her now. She told me recently she can't vote for Trump, can't stand many of the things he's said. Thinks he's a nut.

Honestly, if voters had chosen Cruz over Trump I believe he would have beaten Hillary fairly easily come November. Too many people can't stand either Donald or Hillary, but Donald has really turned a lot of people off with his outrageous behavior and language. At least Cruz plays the part of a statesman and is articulate and highly intelligent. Big mistake Republicans voting for Trump. But I'm not surprised in the least. The electorate in this country has proven how incompetent they are in electing our leaders.

The democrats have to lose eventually. No party stays in power forever, this country has shown that it likes to switch parties every so often.

Obama was a far more charismatic and likeable candidate than Hillary was. Mitt Romney would have had a better shot of beating Hillary this year than he had against Obama in 2012.

The democrats would have had 12 years of power in 2020, every election then on becomes increasingly difficult to win.

As opposed to elected Donald and having liberal progressive scattershot.
