Indiana exit poll: Trump probably needs it to be at least 55-40 in his favour to give him a chance nationally. Last time the GOP won the state by 10.2%.
The GOP need to learn how to play identity politics better and become the default party of the white lower and middle classes. Take the rust belt and begin making inroads in NE states for 2024. Eventually I think the GOP will be the party of whites and the Dems everyone else. It is the natural consequence of identity politics.
Toblerone always seemed very exotic. My rich friend -- they had foreign holidays and everything -- was the only person I'd known whose family bought them, often in unfeasibly large packets.
Teenage opener Haseeb Hameed will make his England debut against India in the opening Test in Rajkot on Wednesday. Lancashire opening batsman Hameed, 19, will become only the second teenager to play Test cricket for England since 1949.
Hameed 1,129 runs at an average of 52 in County Championship Division One this summer.
Got a horrible feeling my bank account is going to get its arse kicked tonight.
Casino - Which bet(s) are you particularly fearful about? I think my spread position on Hillary is now OK, after having closed most of it - at one time I was circa £200 down ..... Yeeks!. My worst bet was probably backing Trump to win Florida, which now appears a virtual certainty for Hillary.
''Take the rust belt and begin making inroads in NE states for 2024. Eventually I think the GOP will be the party of whites and the Dems everyone else. It is the natural consequence of identity politics. ''
''The Dems will win Texas next time if they have a Latino Texan as their candidate. The GOP could counter by having a Californian as their candidate, and gain California.''
If Hillary wins, the repubs could field mother theresa next time and they still wouldn't win either California or Texas.
Look at how the pollsters count. These are identity elections. Identity is all. Demographics are on the democrats' side.
The Democrats talk in identity politics in a way that's really striking.

Got a horrible feeling my bank account is going to get its arse kicked tonight.
What are you exposed to ?
Exposed to Trump now in region of £400 if he wins.
Basically I didn't really play this market over the summer and got greedy last week and started buying lots of Hillary for modest returns, thinking I was buying free money.
Now I'm more exposed than a prisoner sent to the surface on a Klingon dilithium mining colony.
There still seems to be a festering dislike to put it mildly among the Ukip hierarchy for Suzanne Evans. Now clearly she's not necessarily the best thing since sliced bread but she comes across as reasonably competent and articulate in front of the media. What is the real back story?
Things could get interesting in texas if the polls are flaky.
I've been punting on Clinton there at between 14-20/1
Also on Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin & Minnesota at 4/1+
There has been a lot of talk about Hispanics being fired up to vote in this election, when they have been lackadaisical in the past. The problem they have in terms of making a difference is that they are massively concentrated in solidly Democrat California and solidly Republican Texas. Their vote makes the first even more Democrat and the second somewhat less Republican.
But as nearly 40% of the Texan population, Hispanics really could put Texas into play, particularly as that state is becoming more diverse for other reasons. My guess is that it won't happen this time, but unless the Republicans change tack, it will sooner or later. With Texas in the Democrat basket along with all the other big states, that would radically change the political landscape in the US. There are some senior Republicans who are very conscious of this.
At how many elections have we been told that Texas is on the cusp of going Democrat in four years' time? I'm sure they were saying that as far back as 2000.

@JamieRoss7: Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed the Scottish government will intervene in the UK government's Article 50 case at the supreme court next month.
My reading is that Clinton will win but much tighter than anticipated - I'd love Jack's ARSE to be pouring out in the right area but think it's optimistic. Think we could be waiting for Colorado and Nevada to be sure.
290-250 or so?
ARSE4US is optimistic because it is correct now and historically. ARSE4US denial will not be tolerated ....
Nevada is done and the GOP Colorado early vote lead is well down on 2012 when Obama went on to win by 6 points.
Two Clinton Holds.
You called Florida wrong last time. This time that could be crucial.
I apologize for being 1 point out in Florida in 2012.
I expected the GOP voter suppression to be more effective - What's the world coming too when the Republicans couldn't even undertake a decent purge of voter rolls, vote caging, curtailing early voting and blatant intimidation.
I was shocked and stunned I tell you .... SHOCKED AND STUNNED ....
My final forecast: I'm reasonably confident that Hillary will win all of Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. I think she'll probably win Florida. North Carolina and Ohio will be close and could go either way; if pushed I think I'd still put NC just in the Hillary column, but OH looks more likely to go Trumpwards. Trump to win Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Utah and Texas.
If I was forced to I would predict something similar but with Trump holding North Carolina.

They would need to find a Mexican Latino who wants to restrict migration, one who is born in the US rather than being a naturalised citizen. Might be tough after this cycle.
It's probably eaiser to paint the Dems as the party of "other" and appeal to whites by saying only the GOP can look after the interests of white people.
If they can find a Latino who is willing to take a hard line on illegal immigration and overstays, while still keeping the door open for legal migration plus ensuring that blue collar workers get a fair deal from globalisation I think it would be a literal landslide vs Clinton in 2020 (assuming she runs again).

I think the GOP will still hold onto Texas in 2020, even with further demographic drift. Texans just have their own way of doing things, even the Latinos in Texas aren't the same as everywhere else.

Don't know. The movements in the betting markets are a total mystery to me.
If the markets are out of line with what you believe should be the price, or if they're moving (or not moving) when you see no reason for it, then either they know something you don't or you know something they don't (or aren't giving the right weight to). If there's one thing that GE2015 and EURef should have taught us, it's that market movements do not necessarily represent changes grounded in objective reality.

Just dawned on me, the only living Republican ex Presidents and the last GOP nominee are all not likely to vote for Trump.
At the ballot box they might (thinking of the Bushs).
I thought 41 had said he was voting Hillary*, whilst 43 was said by his nephew he wouldn't vote for Trump, because of a lot of things, but especially the way he mocked Jeb.
*Well he told a Kennedy, and hasn't denied it
The Reagan genes probably won't be voting for Trump.
'Reagan said he wouldn’t vote for Trump in the California primary on Tuesday. He followed that tweet with another that said that if his father were alive today, this would likely be the first time he wouldn’t back his party’s presidential candidate.'

Canadian and Cuban. Plus one was crazy and the other one was a bit bland.
Huge swing to T R U M P in the first New Hampshire declarations !
Millsfield reported Trump 16 and Hillary 4. Dixville reported Hillary 4 and Trump 2. Hart's reported Clinton 17 and Trump 14. So overall it's Trump 32 and Hillary 25.
In 2012, these three little townships voted Obama 28/14, so T R U M P is doing really well with a huge swing to him so far !
A closer look at the voting shows that Trump did well in Dixville but awfully badly in Notch.
The Notch is turning into a ghost town though.... Maybe no-one wants to live in the glare of the world's spotlight once every four years.
Teensy little villages out in the boonies all over the world are turning into ghost towns. It's better to live near other people.

Bland is OK. Any case he will win the Florida senator for the Reps. Marco Rubio illustrates the problem. He should be the poster boy for an inclusive Republican Party. He can't beat Trump because he's not a demagogue. Trump can't beat Clinton (probably and hopefully) because he is a demagogue.

It's definitely possible, but he has very little political experience, the family name is also a bit tarnished at the moment. He'd need to do a lot of profile building in the next 2 years to have a real shot for 2020.

She talks such shit. The question of Scottish EU membership only arises if Scotland is going to become independent, which Scotland voted against. Does she even outdo Donald Trump for encouraging chips on shoulders, blaming outsiders, and selling sunshine? I wish the Unionist parties in Scotland could come together.
How does he determine they are likely Dems? They could equally be new Trump voters, no?

I'm glad that Labour failed so badly to entrench it during the Blair years because of rebellious Sikhs and Hindus, and now African and West Indian blacks all shifting towards the Tories.
