And just about every single one of those positions have one thing in common:

They're all bullsh** law or political positions that consumed money and resources...and didn't produce squat in return.

I wonder how much of that "funding" was actually used to help anyone and what percentage went to "administrative fees."

Errr... that's verifiably untrue...

Indeed, Vision.

Tell us, TB. How is a civil litigation attorney and a distinguished graduate of Yale a 'bull★■◆● law or political position'?

or, tell any child in this nation who has benefitted from the CHIP program that it was bull★■◆●.

Geezus, NS, you are bitter and delusional.

Yeah, she's just another example of white privilege at work.

whee! Such a funny comment it needed to be posted twice!

Whee...slick doesn't understand how double posts work.

Lord knows, I do.....it was just a funny start to my week of playing school bus delivery man for the grandkids!!

Well as the saying goes, Repetition is the key to emphasis....

like that poll this am(72,000 respondants, nationwide)?? Sure, she's only up by around 3-4% nationwide, on average(this poll seems to add up to about a 2.9% national edge). But, what it shows is the usual strengths in battleground purple states, but that she has TEXAS in play(statistical tie, at present). I'll link if you want, but you can look up the Washington Post/Survey Monkey et al National Survey. It's fascninating. In pockets, he is WAY up(like how Romney was in some states), but she is polling far better than anyone expected in any state who has a lot of educated suburban Republicans(hence, Georgia(shes up by 2), Arizona(she's down by 3) and Texas(tied). If that holds up for her, it could change the political landscape of the nation. That change was coming, most experts saw it as fait accompli by 2024, but wow!

Interesting enough to make a new thread about. Lots of meat in that one, as it's the most extensive(by far) survey I've ever seen done. Usually we are seeing national surveys of maybe 3000 people, state surveys with a few hundred respondants. This one took some work. If someone wants to make this a topic of a thread, go ahead. I'll hold off.

It's getting closer.

It's not. There is only one poll where they are close. All others in aggregate show Clinton comfortably in the lead. Regression lines over the past several months show no indication that Trump will get ahead and stay there.

Judging by the past poll numbers, Clinton will likely win with a margin between 45.5% and 46.5% with Trump between 42% and 43%.

compare and contrast. What is he hiding?
