    Packers/ Giants tonight, but I will be watching bits of the debate on the laptop. It looks like Trump has nothing to lose right now so god only knows what he will come out with tonight.

    Cannot remember anyone saying African-Americans were in play for Trump; it was more that they might not come out for HRC as they did for Obama.

    The Apprentice tapes aren't controlled by NBC, trybare owned by the producer - who is a Trump supporter.

    It's The Apprentice producer Burnett who owns them and he's ransoming them off for five million dollars. If I was a news organisation that could afford that sort of cash (and can they?), I'd tell him that any money paid for it has to go to relevant charities or no deal.

    That isn't the case. The 5 million is supposedly to pay the fine for breach of contract by an employee.

    Think about it Burnett is worth 100s millions, if he wanted to release them he owns the rights & that kind of money is irrevelant.

    Trump is tweeting a poll today that puts him 2% ahead of Clinton.

    No idea as to where it stands on the Gold Standard tto Voodoo scale though:

    I have to say it is a little surprising that if trump regularly spouted awful stuff on mic over 10+ seasons of the apprentice that nothing has leaked before he even thought a out running for POTUS.

    Think how for instance Christian bale has a terrible reputation in Hollywood & eventually somebody just went sod it & released him going ape shit.

    Hmm, ethically dodgy to pay for him breaking a contract. Maybe a private individual could stump up the cash.

    Was 3% yesterday and 4 % a few days ago.

    Also they have issues with weighting, I think 538 would shift this to a 4 point Hilary lead.

    In English law it would be doubtful whether Burnett could enforce the clause against the employee, and a cursory Google suggests us law is the same. I doubt it would be illegal for a third party to agree to pay on the employee's behalf, it the penalty turns out to be enforceable.

    If that's the case, $5 million is chicken feed then. If the tapes have something terrible on them we will be hearing them.

    You could be cynical and say right now he's the centre of the story, and when/if the tapes come out he won't be.

    Or that guys worth 100s of millions got there by leveraging all the profit they can out of every situation and they don't lose that habit.

    538 don't grade the LA Times but they do use their polls. Historically it has a Republican bias of +4 so the lead of +2 for Trump translates to a lead of +2 for Clinton. It is a seven day moving average so it takes a little time to catch up with events.

    Very small numbers but they show the numbers by registered voters, not votes cast.

    PPPPolls are showing only 70% of registered Republicans voting for Trump. If you apply that to the early returns, the Trump lead disappears.

    The other benchmark is the 2012 returns. In NC the Dems are ahead of their 2012 returns, are these FL returns ahead or behind past rates of return?

    Reps just shy of catching Dems in returned ballots, passed on requests last week (Reps prefer mail ballots, Dems in-person, so expected)

    Reps are expected to have lead now due to using mail in ballots.

    My first assessment (assuming Macron doesn't make waves) is that the most likely winner of the French Presidency is Juppé (62%) follwed by Le Pen (16%), Sarkozy (16%), Hollande (4%) and Montebourg (2.5%). Although I can check the markets iirc that makes Juppé value, as I think he was comfortably outside evens when I last checked.

    The Democrat's theory of voter modeling says there are very few real undecideds. Only people who have yet to be convinced to vote for their natural party. Debate 1 in 2012 combined Republicans to vote but not work of them, debate 2 and 3 combined Obama voters to vote.

    That sounds to me like a completely bollocks over generalisation, and certainly not one that I would buy from anyone other than an American, which i assume you are not. What I am not clear about is why you keep writing posts which really boil down to "I hate Trump" - which is fair enough but not illuminating. If you are just doing your best to ensure we all get out and vote for Hillary on 8 November, I am afraid you are labouring under a misapprehension.

    Not complaining, just curious.

    The GOP infrastructure have dumped Trump/gone on strike.

    It seems inconceivable Trump can win without their day to day/operational support.
