Get ready for the nastiest, most unpredictable campaign you can imagine

Clinton has to energize African Americans, Latinos, women

Trump has to keep up the outrage over government

Both candidates vying for younger voters



By David Lightman


PHILADELPHIA

America’s about to endure the closest, nastiest, most unpredictable presidential election in more than three decades.

Not since Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan ran against each other in 1980 has the choice been so stark, the warnings from each candidate about the other so dire, the likely outcome so murky.

As this year’s political conventions end, there’s no clear favorite. But watch the polls next week. The leader in the first polls conducted entirely after the convention ends has won the White House every time since 1948.

“That’s when the dust settles. That is the person who ends up taking the oath of office,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, at a Morning Buzz breakfast hosted this week by McClatchy.

I welcome "the nastiness" and will revel in the "unpredictability".

The country is divided.
More than just "divided", it's BITTERLY divided.
This election is not about mere "choices", but HARSH choices.

The other side hates our guts and would just about "send us to the camps" if it could.
And there's no love here for the other side, with good reason.

Because of the divisions between the right and the left, no matter which side wins will result in a lot of pain on the other side. That's to be expected when a nation becomes so fractured.

So then, LET the choices be harsh, if they must be so.
Let the nastiness reflect that -- we have reason to be that way.

And I'm glad we've finally got a down-in-the-mud brawler on our side for a change!

Trump and Hillary are on the same side.

There is only one side that is throwing up imagery of boxcars, calls for internal ethnic cleansing, and wants to purge America of a particular religious group.

The other side wants to make you share bathrooms with members of the opposite sex and make you play more for goods, services, and energy.  And more taxes, too.

Very true, but the country is divided in much the same way as it was in 1861.  Only difference is the geography, where each side lives today....

Nothing unpredictable about it. Hillary wins, unless Mars attacks in the interim. Then, maybe Jack Nicholson has a shot.

*YAWN*

I've got no dog in the hunt (unless Castle takes off)... So I'll be catching up on my fishing... peacefully unplugged... 3 whole months of tranquil water settings with a big steaming cup of 'I don't give a ****'.

It's rather liberating, isn't it.  :laugh:

Think I'll keep sniping at both sides - sort of like watching Liverpool play Man U.
