So election fraud is so sophisticated and subtle that it can't be detected, BUT Democrats don't use it on the off-year elections… why? Shouldn't they have maintained control of the Senate, the House, and virtually all governorships and state legislatures, with just Mississippi and maybe Idaho as token "see, sometimes…

The last Bourne movie leaps to mind, though it probably wasn't the champion of all time. Certainly failed to deliver on the promise of anything interesting or particularly coherent happening.

Even if McMullin doesn't win Utah he's forcing the Trump campaign to devote resources that they don't have to a state that should have been a layup for them.

He actually has a better chance than Johnson or Stein of being elected president. Which goes:
a) To have electors in the EC, you must win a state (or district in NE or ME).
b) If no one has 270, a small but nonzero probability, we might wind up with the top three presidential EC vote getters (Clinton, Trump, McMullin)…

"Boring" is often a desirable quality in a chief executive. Especially if the alternative is someone snarling "Hey, is Idaho looking at me funny? Is it? Think I don't have the balls to take you out, Idaho?"

World War Z (the book) had a bit where people pretended to be zombies, with the (very wacked out at this point) idea that they would blend in. Maybe the masks are to disguise that they are standard issue humans, hoping to pass unnoticed by Zs by pretending to be them?

I'm not a fan of the "ew men touching men" massage humor. Massaging the oft-neglected mandible area had me in stitches, though.

There are so many really cool directions the show could go exploring beyond our neighborhood in season 2.

That took me back to so many trips with small children to the arcade.

That line is funny on its own, but it also hints that they aren't really sure what would cause the neighborhood to turn into nothing but sinkhole, which is a rather large source of existential angst. If you break Janet, does everyone get reincarnated as lactobacillus in some other neighborhood's frozen yogurt shops?

Maybe the show is going for The Missing Piece as a reference?

Agreed that 10K always looks cool.

Making his spirit guide someone from after the apocalypse was unexpectedly powerful. Red isn't associated with his old pre-Z life in any way; she's associated with stubbornly facing down the apocalypse and protecting others while she's at it.

I'm not sure what the wolfz are, but I don't think they're soldier Zs. That's way more coordination and discipline than we ever see from Zs. Humans off the deep end, maybe, that being a theme of the season. It seems still very ambiguous.

I wonder if this will put a stake through the idea of an evangelical voting bloc? It's not playing well with young evangelicals or women. (See Liberty University's students trying to distance themselves from its president, and Beth Moore publicly giving up on evangelical men if they can't object even to this.)

The Fix is trying to figure this out. Nothing about the allegations of Donald's assault. Nothing about the allegations by a Florida woman who mentioned Melania rescuing her with a dark look and storming off, thereby diverting Donald's attention. But she will not be portrayed as someone who recognized a reporter and…

The Fix has graphs. His support amongst less educated white men, less educated white women, and evangelicals has increased this week. Everyone else is moving away.

Look, Donald knows nothing about Russia. Sure, he gets his news from the Russian state media site, but he's been assured everyone does that.

Theory on the ad pulls: what spending he bothers with is all going into rallies where he and his fans can be in a bubble of impending massive victory together. What ego stroking does he get from gotv operations in distant states?

I'm convinced Russia swapped from Guccifer 2.0 as a conduit back to WikiLeaks solely because they realized Assange was really irritating.
