Oops, I should have used a smaller word than "misogynistic".

OK, change that last part to "Donald will get the uneducated, racist AND SEXIST white male vote".
Is this any different that the uneducated, racist and sexist black male vote that will go for Hillary? This because her constant message to them is their problems are caused by Whites?

Black men are far more likely to be reasonable (conservative) than black women, at least among the people I know.

It's thrown around a lot online, but it's something you don't want thrown at yourself in real life...unless you're willing to grovel to prove you aren't racist (and possibly adopt an African child).

You want to talk politics with such people if you're a Trump supporter? Not me. I've got to work there. Better to say nothing and talk about the weather.
I also have family that had trouble when mentioning anything positive about Trump.

Default 538 Model Shows Better Odds for Trump than most others

Trump supporters should take great heart in today's comment from Nate:

2. What’s the degree of uncertainty?

It remains fairly high.This is the point that we really can’t emphasize enough, and it’s why FiveThirtyEight shows somewhat better odds for Trump than most other forecast models.

I suppose I wish there were a betting market open only to political journalists and commentators, though. My hard-to-prove sense is that they underrate Trump’s chances as compared with both betting markets and our forecasts.

Election Update: Where The Race Stands Heading Into The First Debate | FiveThirtyEight
Entire commentary is worth reading. I love Nate. Whether I'm pleased or displeased with his analysis, I know it is factual.

Masta back up to 44.9% (now-cast).

We party on!!!

I know people like that, and if they have a heart attack over it, so be it. His businesses had above average levels of women and minorities in executive positions. Actions speak louder than words to those with a brain.

Trump is on the move.

CNN/ORC polls: Trump, Clinton deadlocked in Colorado, Pennsylvania - CNNPolitics.com

New CNN Polls - Trump only down 1 in PA among likely voters, ahead with registered voters.

Trump up 1 in Colorado.

Great news.

It is looking more and more likely that millennials will either stay home or vote 3rd party, costing Clinton the election. This would validate Trumps strategy of bringing up the 90s scandals, something the GOP was too scared to do.

Obama lowered the bar; anything goes now.
