Clinton's campaign is paying $32/square foot for offices. Trump's campaign is paying about $100/sf. To Trump. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tru ... a4e7c4?rv5 …

ISIL is slaughtering non-combatants as the coalition advances on Mosul; they're also going to use human shields.

Clinton's Victory Fund has 41 more fundraisers. These are joint efforts to boost other candidates down ticket. Trump's has zero. Isn't this a little strange and goes towards my 'scorched earth' idea, jh?

Republican donors who would give to Trump have given to Trump. They didn't cancel anything or stop fundraising for the party leaving money on the table. Most GOP donors are funneling money into the congressional party committees or SuperPACs like this and this.

.@MegynKelly made a total fool out of herself tonight- attacking @realDonaldTrump. Watch what happens to her after this election is over.

GINGRICH: The next two weeks are a contest of two parallel universes … Republicans are actually outvoting Democrats in Florida; they’re outvoting Democrats in Pennsylvania. That is unprecedented.
KELLY: Really? You think Trump is going to win Pennsylvania
GINGRICH: I think he might. All I can report to you right now is they’re outvoting the Democrats right now in Pennsylvania.
KELLY: But all the polls put her ahead in Pennsylvania.
GINGRICH: I know, I just told you, we’re living in two alternate universes.
KELLY: All of the moves on this map over the last three weeks — by Cook, by Larry Sabato, by the Fox News Decision Desk — show the country moving left. These are nonpartisan outlets just trying to call the scoreboard.
GINGRICH: These aren’t "nonpartisan" outlets. Everything you described is part of the establishment.
KELLY: Fox News? Really? I don’t think so.
GINGRICH: Oh, come on.

There is no early voting in PA.

i'm fascinated by Gingrich's current mental state.

Megyn Kelly has become significantly more sympathetic in my eyes.

edit: Did he really accuse her of being fascinated by sex? Jesus Christ.

Donald Trump has received more free media than any candidate in history. This whole argument (as reiterated by Newt) that the media is favoring Clinton is such a canard. Trump loves media coverage, except when he doesn't.

I hate to miss the boat on this tidbit, so I am cross posting between threads (Hoos on first)

This, if it was not posted previously, or even if it was, is excellent. I am not a fan of most of Old Grumpy Man Keith Olbermann, but it articulates not only the general feeling of most Americans, it gets to the heart of everything bad with one particular American (and anyone who supports him while still being able to think for oneself).

all those are indicative of white guys voting GOP, though.

anyone see the footage of white-nationalist and GOP thought leader Matt Forney getting chased out of a train station in Philly? on one hand it's horrible to see someone harassed, on the other hand, he creates a lot of misery for folks and it's funny to see him get his comeuppance.

This is the mosque that one of my best friends from law school attends in Southern California with his wife and baby girl. This is the type of preexisting hate that Trump inflames.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/10/25/california-man-who-threatened-to-kill-had-a-stockpile-of-weapons-and-a-hatred-for-muslims

A California man who threatened to kill all the members of a Los Angeles area mosque and had amassed rifles, shotguns, handguns, high-capacity magazines and “thousands of rounds of ammunition” has been charged with making terrorist threats.

Mark Feigin, 40, called the Islamic Center of Southern California twice and “threatened to kill the person who answered the phone along with other members of the center because of [his] hatred for Muslims and his belief that Muslims will destroy the United States,” L.A. police commander Horace Frank told reporters on Tuesday.

A police search of Feigin’s home uncovered numerous rifles, shotguns, handguns, high-capacity magazines and “thousands of rounds of ammunition,” Frank said. “We believe he certainly had the means to carry out these threats, and that’s why we took action.”

I don't get how this squares with Hillary being up in almost every poll among college educated whites? Are they just overwhelmingly in a few states?

My favorite part of the video was the "Dr" in the white lab coat, complete with a stethoscope draped on his shoulders. Well, I guess Halloween IS right around the corner.
