Coincidentally saw this just pop up on twitter:



Biden to @danpfeiffer on why he has not brought up Trump's children in response to Trump's Hunter Biden attacks: "I just think it's crass. I'm running against Donald Trump, not his children. The American people want to hear about their families, not Trump's family or my family."

I remember when Hillary was asked to say something nice about Donald and she was like, "Oh shit ... uh ... his children seem nice?"

But when combined with the 35% increase in hospitalizations in the last few weeks, rising test positivity in all age groups and in the majority of states, and the rising death rate - yeah its all very concerning.

The President is presenting his closing argument for reelection as "we are rounding the corner and have beat the virus", while the virus is like "lol, nah".

What. An. Idiot.

[Dannyyankou]

Holy crap, lines are huge here and we never usually have to wait that long. Parking lot is completely full, and there’s a line stretching around the entire building.

I just wonder what election day turnout will look like.

I have to think this year's turnout will be some of the most massive in modern history. 60% was my U/O. It may need to be adjusted a bit - it seems the over has a better than not chance of happening.

The line at my poling place was about 2 hours.

I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes in any election ever.

The crazy thing about the turnout here is that I’m fortunate enough to have like 15 early voting locations within a 10 mile radius of me, it just blows my mind how many people are showing up.

Interesting take I heard last night about heavy democratic turnout in early and mail in voting and heavy republican turnout on election day. While democrats are getting a large percentage of their votes in early, but election day the virus could be bad enough to keep a lot of people away from the polls. This would especially hurt Trump and republican down ballot if the race doesn't tighten in the next 10 days.

I’d much rather be banking votes now than hoping on votes 10 days from now. It’s amazing to me the GOP hasn’t embraced that philosophy.

“Ebola guy”. Motherfucker wouldn’t stay at home with Ebola and now he’s out here lecturing people.

Would love to know how Spencer is allowed to see patients when he is on record saying this.

I actively dislike The Lincoln Project, but their response to Ivanka and Jared threatening to sue about their Times Square billboards is very good:

Really cool analysis and write up that discusses some of this issues with 538's state and interactive modeling, mainly with its long probability tails and state/demographic correlations.

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.e...tion-forecast/

Probably need some level of understanding of regression analysis to fully understand but you can get the gist of it without. If you're into polling and election forecasting data, this article is a nerd's dream!

I hope they get sued for all their worth.

Yeah, make Jared and ivanka pay not only their lawyer fees but also the lincoln projects lawyer fees!

And I'm sure Jared would love the discovery to prove that his statement is false! That'll go well!

Misinformation is okay if it’s about Trump, right?

What misinformation?

Net worth, weight, BMI, mental health, level of involvement and dedication to his job, "least racist person", almost any level of success or achievement...
