  • The problem here is that the Republican party is shrinking, and has been for years. So I'm skeptical that it's really "deadlocked," no matter how much the media wants a horse race. Trump's support among Republicans is rock-solid, but his presence has caused a lot of people to leave the Republican party. The people left are the most extreme, the most hateful.

    But that doesn't necessarily mean they have equity in numbers with Democrats.

  • I think it’d be much more lopsided if corporate news wasn’t such a disgusting insult to an informed populace. They still refuse to call him a liar, or note that he was found guilty of sexual assault. Much less point out that he used russian intelligence to violate the DNC and federal election law. Or that he obstructed justice by firing Comey, intimidated any number of witnesses, and oh yeah is utterly incompetent to handle that position.

    Don’t you agree CNN? NBC? WaPo? NYT? Yeah. Her emails. Free airtime. We know how committed you are to reporting truth. Right Chuck Todd? Still both sides, isn’t it?
