I do have to say, that if any women, man, anybody from any religion, sexual orientation, race gets harrassed at work, I would get my stuff and leave.

Georgia and Utah are in play for HRC?! What is this world coming to when you can’t even count on solid red (or solid blue) states anymore?

This is just my humble opinion. Johnson will take away votes from both. Will he make any state interesting? Maybe not, but it would be fun, if he stole a state from Trump (Utah), from HRC (Maine), and a swing state (N.H)

If Johnson was pro-life, he’d win Utah. But he’s not. So he won’t.

Ex-top Christie aide backs Clinton over Trump
(CNN) Longtime Chris Christie aide Maria Comella says she plans to vote for Hillary Clinton – saying that after Donald Trump’s nomination, Republicans are “at a moment where silence isn’t an option.”
Comella is breaking from the governor she helped elevate into the national political limelight. Her decision, announced in an email interview with CNN’s Jamie Gangel, comes the day after a top Jeb Bush aide said she was leaving the Republican Party.
Comella blasted Trump over his attack on the Muslim parents of an American soldier killed in combat, calling it emblematic of the rhetoric that has led her to reject her own party’s nominee.
“Donald Trump has been a demagogue this whole time, preying on people’s anxieties with loose information and salacious rhetoric, drumming up fear and hatred of the ‘other,’” Comella said.
“Instead of trying anything remotely like unifying the country, we have a nominee who would rather pick fights because he views it as positive news coverage,” she said. “It may make him media savvy, but it doesn’t make him qualified or ready to be president.”
Comella’s decision is a dramatic departure from her former boss, whose image she helped shape on the national stage as one of his closest advisers and strategists while a long-serving top aide in Trenton, New Jersey.
Christie was among the first failed 2016 GOP candidates to endorse Trump, appearing alongside the Republican nominee at events and even lobbying to become his running mate.
But Comella – like longtime Jeb Bush adviser Sally Bradshaw, who told CNN on Monday that she’s left the GOP over Trump’s nomination – said party members can’t stay silent amid Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric.
“Instead of speaking out against instances of bigotry, racism and inflammatory rhetoric whether it’s been against women, immigrants or Muslims, we made a calculus that it was better to say nothing at all in the interest of politics and winning elections. For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example,” she said.

And Christie himself made a comment regarding Trump’s reaction to the Khan family, saying it was “inappropriate.” Will Christie defect as well, maybe partially due to his not having been chosen as Trump’s running mate?

I think he’s smarting from not being the VP pick.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Christie jump ship. Supporting Trump hasn’t exactly been doing any wonders for him.

That is true, if he’s position was more conservitive in that sense he would get moderate democrats and republicans who are not ond of Trump. He (Johnson) would be higher than 9-11% nationally.

But for those states to be even considered. Then one of the congressional districts in Nebraska might be up for grabs (the one In Omaha). Both candidates are going to be doing a lot of defending I think instead of being aggressive.

Here’s a bit of a different take:
“Trump repeatedly says how much he loves babies and assures the crying baby’s mother that it’s alright. Later when the baby continues to cry, Trump jokes, “Get that baby out of here” but continues to assure the child’s mother that it’s alright.”
lifenews.com/2016/08/02/planned-parenthood-blasted-after-it-criticizes-trump-for-saying-i-love-babies/
That article is about how Planned Parenthood tweeted a story about Donald Trump and the Mother and baby.

Trump refuses to support Paul Ryan, John McCain in upcoming Republican primaries
From the link:
*With Ryan’s Wisconsin primary scheduled for next Tuesday, Trump praised the House speaker’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running “a very good campaign.” Trump said that Ryan has sought his endorsement, but that as of now he is only “giving it very serious consideration.”
“I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country,” Trump said. “We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”
Trump’s refusal to back Ryan represents an extraordinary breach of political decorum and signals that the Republican Party remains divided two weeks after a national convention in Cleveland staged to showcase party unity.*
Hehe, you can’t make this stuff up. That’s what Ryan gets for his ill-fated and spineless endorsement of Trump “for the sake of party unity”. Trump may lose badly in November, and if that happens the careers of Ryan and all the other party big-shots who have endorsed Trump will be over with. They will deserve it.

Look, Trump isn’t going to lose Utah. But if Arizona is even close? He’s done. By a big margin.
He’s down in every state Mitt Romney lost and one he won (North Carolina).
Right now Georgia is closer than Pennsylvania.
Go to 270towin.com and tell me what map looks plausible to you for a Trump win.
CO? Gone. VA? Off the board. Ohio? Maybe, but Kasich hates him. Florida? Gonna be tough with the big Hispanic population.
He would have to win every state Romney won plus OH, PA and FL. It won’t happen.

Oh. So you’re not against media. Just the “main stream media”.
Because it would seem odd to be against “media” in general. Otherwise, how does one get information? It suggests some sort of secret gnostic sect or something–“I get my information from a secret source and I can’t share it with anyone!”
It turns out that your source gets her information from the same place everyone else does.
But your source uses the same sources that we do, so…
You do understand that this is a forum, right, queen?
What we do here is present our positions, refute others’ positions, and sometimes we change our minds when our reason determines that the other’s argument is a cogent one.

Could not disagree more The Govt is incapable of doing charity. They are taking other peoples money and redistributing it. And voting for someone is never an act of charity. To say so is a cop out.

Does that surprise anyone? Utah, Georgia and Arizona aren’t exactly swing states. They’ve been deep red for years. Last time Arizona voted Democrat was 1996 and the last time Georgia did so was 1992. Utah hasn’t voted Democrat since 1964.

Obama won in a rout in 2008 and even he didn’t win Georgia or Arizona. Arizona I guess is a bit of a special case since it’s McCain’s home state, but still.
Look, if it’s close in states like AZ or GA… HRC has this thing sewn up. And that’s where we are right now. And I do not see anything that would change that.
This map is the state of play right now: 270towin.com/maps/GORz0
What’s going to shake that up?
