But hang on! The Manchurian Candidate was 90% likely to win! She was going to turn Trump into Mondale! So surely the collapse can't be true, because that would suggest her mass triumph was a self-inflating bubble. Surely some mistake...
In week 2 in 2012 Democrats outvoted Republicans by 136189 to 113432 i.e. 20% more. In week2 so far Democrats outboting Republicans by 48784 to 45031 i.e. 8% more
Major change is in Clark County where the majority has gone from 40% more Democrats to less than 30% extra Democrats.

Spot on. People who rave about Trump doing this or that clearly know zero about the US constitution, specifically designed and tested for separation of powers.
Yep, with the Senate, the House and Mike Pence we should be just about okay.
Anyway, people didn't think Ronald Reagan would make a good President so who knows?
For clarify, bettors note that this story relates to Florida only. These omissions are becoming irritating. We had a poster earlier in the week post up data from a poll, giving the impression that it was a national survey. The poll was an Indiana state poll.
What makes you think the African-American vote outside Florida is going to be dramatically different from the one inside it?
On topic, I'm mentally prepared for a Trump victory.
I'm not.
Praise the founding fathers for the separation of powers, and the checks & balances.
He can still make a real mess of the world all on his own if he puts his mind to it. Fortunately for Americans what you say is right as far as domestic legislation is concerned but he still has the ability to make a real mess of international relations with little or no control from Congress.
How the hell Richard could people like you and me become so divergent over Brexit?
Richard is almost sui generis - a libertarian, internationalist, anti-racist, Democrat-supporting pro free market, pro Scottish nationalist, anti capital punishment, intellectual, evangelical atheist Brexiteer!
Jobabob...apart from Brexit...that is me, and I guess that is you too, and people like Fox (maybe not quite atheist)....so how come we can come so far apart on Brexit. I don't get it.
I feel a natural affinity to libertarians more so than any other political philosophy. I really do not like Corbyn's hamfisted, socialism
Definitely not Athiest! Libertarians are not easy to corral into a single party.
Oh, no. It's over now as far as the African-American community is concerned. She had time back then to get into the community and get people out to vote. Now, you know, the numbers are the numbers. There's nothing she can do now.
As far as bringing in all of the surrogates, I said then that wasn't going to get the African-American community to the polls. It didn't work. The numbers are the numbers. What she can do now is hope the Hispanic community can carry her over the top. To be honest with you I don't see it happening.

I didn't say it was. There are other states where it's down too (NC for example). Yet the depression may not make the difference in other states, and may indeed be counteracted by large Hispanic votes (as appears to be the case in NV). The point is, omissions are irritating, and can easily be misleading. Avoid.

Bill Clinton was always very popular with the AA voters but he wasn't one of their own.The peer pressure by AAs family and friends to turn out for Obama was enormous and it was never going to be the same this time. I suspect alot of younger AA will just not bother .

To be fair (to me) the fact that this was about the situation in Florida was quite obscure in the source too. Nevertheless, the American-American demographic nationally is important enough that it could swing the election so any straw in the wind is valuable information.
Great interview with Johny Marr on Newsnight. I once had the pleasure of spending the best part of a New Years Evening with him at a pub in south Manchester in 1987...he was exactly as he presented in this interview...unassuming, and easy to be with....

My God. Trump hasn't got much going for him, but at least he's not openly homophobic in the way Pence is.
Is the predicted reduction in African-American turnout likely more due to Clinton not keeping up Obama enthusiam amongst them, or is it more due to Trump having gone relatively 'easy' on AA compared to hispanics or muslims, so less at stake for them?
How does Clinton compare with pre-Obama democrat AA early voting levels?

If Clinton wins NV and doesn't suffer any shock loss (ie she holds PA, MI, WI, MN) then she wins unless she loses CO and ME district 2 in which case it's 269-269.
ie She can afford to write-off FL, OH and NC (and IA).
So it's now down to NV and needing either CO or ME district 2.

It's very useful info (confirms my long held view that Trump will carry FL) and of course I'm not saying you did it deliberately. FWIW I don't think Plato did it deliberately either when she caused such a rumpus with that Indiana poll. She just never checks much at all.

Interesting analysis. Probably correct. She'll carry CO, very big Hispanic population there and white population much better educated than national mean.

In terms of effective use of resources, surely Clinton should now throw as much as is feasibly possible at NV and ME district 2.
ME district 2 can't have that many people in it - I would have thought every single household should be contacted in the last week.
It's another good point - as the US presidential election is not like the the UK election insofar as there is no seat bonus for winning big. Win by an inch, win by a mile.
We might, just might, be heading for President Trump.
My oh my what a political year.
If we are wanting a roller-coaster ride then my bets are Michigan and Wisconsin for Trump. I know the polls aren't great yet for Trump. But....feeling in my waters about those two. Sort of states that won't take kindly to Hillary cheating in the debates....

After boarding the packed tram at Market Street, he was captured on film by passenger Stephen Stokes asking a Jewish man: “Why don’t you f*** off back where you come from?”
The man called another passenger, who was trying to calm him down, a ‘f***ing f****t’ before telling another man he ‘looked like a f***ing paedophile’.
Antisemitic and accusing innocent people of being paedos...Sounds like the perfect candidate for a local councillor in Jezza's 21st Century Socialist Labour Party!
I believe there's quite a reasonable value combination bet to be had by backing the number of States won by the Republicans with SkyBet. Currently 358.com has the GOP winning 22 Red States plus 3 "close call" Pink States which are Arizona, Iowa and Ohio. By contrast the Democrats are reckoned to have 3 "close call" light blue states, these being Nevada, North Carolina and Florida. The key to this bet is to assess what would be the GOP's likely BEST and WORST outcomes and to cover the ground between these two positions. I've taken their worst position as being them losing 1 of the 3 pink States and winning none of the 3 light blue States - leaving them with 24 States. Conversely, their best outcome I've taken as them winning all 3 pink States plus 2 of the light blue States, leaving them with 27 States.
I'm then covering this 24 - 27 State range by 2 separate bets with SkyBet, staked as follows:
24 - 25 States at 4.5, staking 60.87% of the total stake 26 - 27 States at 7.0, staking 39.13% of the total stake
Should either element prove successful, this would return winning decimal odds of 2.74 or just short of 7/4 in old money..

The spin would make you dizzy but Mosul is moving faster than I expected.
The head of ISIS on a spike atop Mosul in the next 6 days might not hurt Hillary.....
Probably too soon but the mood music will be reasonably positive on the lead up to the election.
If you're saying what I think you are, you've got it very wrong. The attack on Mosul has been a complete f***-up. They say they were completely unprepared for the scale of the resistance, taken unaware by the use of tens of thousands of human shields, and oh dear, will the Iranian-backed Shiites start massacring Sunnis? And what on earth will the Turks do to the Kurds? And generally speaking, "HELP". They look like idiots compared to the Russians. As for heads on spikes, any such disgusting propaganda in the next few days is likely to be by Daesh itself, successfully conveying the message that the US military strategy in the area is an utter crock, which is exactly what Trump is saying. This isn't Baghdad in 2003. Apocalypse is breakfast, lunch and dinner to Daesh. There could be attacks by Daesh elsewhere too. Mosul is terrible news for Clinton.
Link?
My personal fear has always been that when ISIS goes down, the sectarian backlash against the Sunni population in the formerly controlled ISIS areas will be horrible. Indeed the main reason that the Americans prevented an earlier assault was to try and build up a relatively non-sectarian force that was somewhat controllable.
An interesting parallel is the end of the Yugoslav wars. The Americans, tired of the garbage about not arming the opponents of the Serbs (who had most of the former Yugoslav army) from the EU and the professional international negotiating types, armed the Croats. They did so on a massive scale and embedded their people with resulting force. So, when, as was inevitable, the Croats started to misbehave when they got the upper hand, the Americans cut them off, selectively. Literally, units that attacked civilians would find themselves with no food, fuel or ammo resupply.

Yes - it was exactly that messy in Yugoslavia. And what is happening now will be worse.

Unfortunately it is likely to be a lot lot worse. The Croatian Ustashi and their Serbian opponents in various areas at least had limited territorial aims, whereas the whole Daesh ideology is based on apocalypse. Mosul should never have been attacked like this.

Oh well, you pays your money and you takes your choice (or places your bets).
It also could be an early night. If Clinton wins the East Coast - minus Georgia and the second Maine - the only state she has to take until reaching the west coast would be Illinois.

I'm fine with it being recorded. It might be useful to know whether this kind of thing becomes more or less common (or to measure the success of "care in the community" or has that been replaced by "the big society" now?). Just can't see that it's newsworthy
If it's this close, might there still be value in Ryan and Kaine? If an election this divisive gets thrown into the House, they could be able to benefit from the fact that the headline candidates are so unpopular. Kaine in particular might be able to pose as a unity candidate.
It hasn't happened for two centuries, but then so much about this election is unprecedented that trying to make sense of it is proving impossible anyway.

I'm thinking of McMullin. If it goes to the House, they get three names to choose from, and he is the only NOTA candidate who might actually win any EC delegates. Only if the House is deadlocked will the Senate appoint a President from the VP choices.
If no-one gets 270 votes, then Betfair are going to have no end of problems trying to settle their £100m market! Remember they are intending to pay out on the morning after the election, so eg, Ryan, Sanders, Biden have no chance at all in this market, as their names are not on the ballot.
I wonder if the use of "doesn't recall" is a rather subtle governmental equivalent of taking the 5th?
It's not very subtle. But if there's emails about what she later claimed not to recall, then her answer possibly amounts to perjury. That's how they're going to get her, not for anything to do with the emails themselves, but for lying under oath at the inquiry.

In week 2 in 2012 Democrats outvoted Republicans by 136189 to 113432 i.e. 20% more.
In week2 so far Democrats outboting Republicans by 48784 to 45031 i.e. 8% more
Major change is in Clark County where the majority has gone from 40% more Democrats to less than 30% extra Democrats.
Anyway, people didn't think Ronald Reagan would make a good President so who knows?
An independent judiciary and free press should also help.
1. He was a good, decent man
2. He was largely hands off.
True but there will be plenty of R on R action. Many republican politicians can't abide Trump.

I remember Arthur Scargill getting a huge cheer at the labour conference when he dubbed him ''president ray gun''
Oooh a forecaster. Like the ones who got the immediate aftermath of Brexit totally, utterly and completely wrong. Massive recession, wasn;t it? higher interest rates? need I go on?
How does Clinton compare with pre-Obama democrat AA early voting levels?
And Betfair has Trump at 3.85
If Clinton wins NV and doesn't suffer any shock loss (ie she holds PA, MI, WI, MN) then she wins unless she loses CO and ME district 2 in which case it's 269-269.
ie She can afford to write-off FL, OH and NC (and IA).
So it's now down to NV and needing either CO or ME district 2.

(and i think she haa a decent chance in FL and NC)
ME district 2 can't have that many people in it - I would have thought every single household should be contacted in the last week.
Anyhoo. Marr and the Charmed song without the silver-tongued Brexiteer mangling the wurds...

The man called another passenger, who was trying to calm him down, a ‘f***ing f****t’ before telling another man he ‘looked like a f***ing paedophile’.

Antisemitic and accusing innocent people of being paedos...Sounds like the perfect candidate for a local councillor in Jezza's 21st Century Socialist Labour Party!
I believe there's quite a reasonable value combination bet to be had by backing the number of States won by the Republicans with SkyBet.
Currently 358.com has the GOP winning 22 Red States plus 3 "close call" Pink States which are Arizona, Iowa and Ohio.
By contrast the Democrats are reckoned to have 3 "close call" light blue states, these being Nevada, North Carolina and Florida.
The key to this bet is to assess what would be the GOP's likely BEST and WORST outcomes and to cover the ground between these two positions.
I've taken their worst position as being them losing 1 of the 3 pink States and winning none of the 3 light blue States - leaving them with 24 States.
Conversely, their best outcome I've taken as them winning all 3 pink States plus 2 of the light blue States, leaving them with 27 States.
I'm then covering this 24 - 27 State range by 2 separate bets with SkyBet, staked as follows:
24 - 25 States at 4.5, staking 60.87% of the total stake
26 - 27 States at 7.0, staking 39.13% of the total stake
Should either element prove successful, this would return winning decimal odds of 2.74 or just short of 7/4 in old money..
Do your own research.

An interesting parallel is the end of the Yugoslav wars. The Americans, tired of the garbage about not arming the opponents of the Serbs (who had most of the former Yugoslav army) from the EU and the professional international negotiating types, armed the Croats. They did so on a massive scale and embedded their people with resulting force. So, when, as was inevitable, the Croats started to misbehave when they got the upper hand, the Americans cut them off, selectively. Literally, units that attacked civilians would find themselves with no food, fuel or ammo resupply.

Giant document dumps from Rothchilds and others. I initially thought it was a hoax, but perhaps not.

One week from now, we should know the result!

Clinton 48 .. Trump 40
Note - Large split ticket vote favours Clinton. 28% of Florida GOP voters went Clinton. Follows Marist early polling analysis of Florida.

It hasn't happened for two centuries, but then so much about this election is unprecedented that trying to make sense of it is proving impossible anyway.
