Well, it IS close now, albeit with Clinton ahead by a nose, largely because of the email damage. The thing is, that has almost certainly done all the damage it's going to, and as long as the Dems have a non-disastrous convention Clinton will probably get a way bigger bump from hers than Trump did. In the meantime,…

From what I've read, that's what they're doing, particularly in the battleground states that Trump is ignoring because he's convinced he'll win New York.

She's almost certainly less petty than me but I hope she makes a plagiarism joke when she speaks at the DNC next week.

His obsessive hatred of trans people is hilarious because you'd think a guy who's five feet tall and looks like a young Martin Scorsese refusing to smile in a picture with Santa would be a little less wed to restrictive gender norms.

Melania is the new Jackie O, in that her husband is the child of a Nazi sympathizer and is sleeping with someone younger than her.

I have to keep reminding myself that press coverage wants to sell a horserace, because a clear frontrunner is boring as hell.

National poll numbers aside, he wins by either doing better than Romney with demographics Romney DIDN'T brazenly alienate, or by maximizing white turnout to levels that almost certainly don't actually exist.

Yeah but he turned into an embarrassing older relative who yells at hecklers about how actually, his criminal justice policies were cool and good.

Gotta be more specific than that.

Rush Limbaugh calls her "Michelle, my butt," which is… a pun? I guess?

He's been talking about how he's Not Mad, Actually Laughing [tm] and going to "put Twitter out of business" for banning him in the same interview. It's fantastic.

Hmm, let me be, hababada, let me be CLEAR-sky, hmmhmm.

VERY CAREFULLY

Shapiro isn't even really Shapiro anymore precisely because Milo nurtured the anti-Semitism in a lot of his former fans.

He's still whining on his Facebook page but he has to keep deleting comments from people copy-pasting snatches of that column he wrote in 2012 about how commenting on the Internet is a privilege, not a right, and platforms need to crack down harder on abuse.

To the point that they're utterly unable to stop thinking about it.

Is there a "MICHELLE OBAMA DIDN'T WRITE THAT SONG SO I GUESS SHE'S THE PLAGIARISMIST, HUH LIBTARDS" take yet? There probably is.

It's a thing the neo-Nazis do now; they tweet a Jewish person's name with (((triple-parentheses))) on either end as a signal to noise to their buds to go after the person.

Also his response to the Brexit vote was to tweet George Soros' name in Jew-parentheses so there's that.

I mean this will give him more time to support the Turkish dissidents Erdogan is purging; that being a genuine free speech issue I'm sure he cares deeply about it.
