The experts seem to think Pence won.
Myself, I was impressed by Kaine.

JimHow

good debate!
pence has been what i expected.
the real revelation for me has been kaine, I think he has really acquitted himself well tonight.

JimHow

this tim kaine is tough!

JimHow

i know, it's crazy

JimHow

Kaine coming out strong.

JimHow

answer: pence

JimHow

trick question:

the most dangerous candidate of the four is:

a) clinton
b) trump
c) kaine
d) pence

JimHow

geez, is the right person at the top of the ticket in the clinton/kaine ticket?

JimHow

Our man in Hawaii...
The sun truly never sets on BWE...

JimHow

We laugh, but I honestly think Donald has considered the idea of a White House reality show.

JimHow

That's good, but don't forget, she had bigger leads than that after the convention and they disappeared in about 7 days.
There's still over a month, and three more debates, to go.

JimHow

Geez I was expecting to awaken to some fireworks and there's nothing, no mention of Assange.

JimHow

I remember when the Red Sox came back against the Yankees in 2004. The Sox were down 3 games to none. The chances of winning were like literally nearly zero. But the Sox kept hanging around. They won one game. Then two. I was at Yankee Stadium for the next two epic games. I remember texting to my br...

JimHow

Yes Jon the press is really going after him. I'll be curious to see if the WSJ ends up doing the right thing. I predict they won't. I predict Peggy Noonan, the most pious reporter in America, won't go against Trump. No balls. The reason why I'm picking Trump is that, despite perhaps the worst week i...

I'm telling you, "The Manheim Speech" (god, it sounds so GERMAN, doesn't it??), will go down in history. It is the moment for me when I truly came to the conclusion that Donald Trump is certifiably insane. I mean, not just mentally ill, which has been obvious for decades... I'm talking... ...

JimHow

Let's see...

Donald Trump in Manheim, Pennsylvania, October 2016.
John F. Kennedy, American University, June 1963...

Hmm. A tough call.

JimHow

Megyn Kelly mocking the Manheim, Pennsylvania speech...
I'm telling you, that was a turning point speech. That was some crazy shit, yo.
I like Megyn Kelly.

JimHow

Trump seems to be pretty clearly winning Ohio. This creates an immediate urgency to the campaign. This is no profound news, of course. Ohio is almost always the bellwether. The Democrats have gained some demographic advantages. But in the end, when you put Ohio on the Republican's column, more often...

JimHow

True.

JimHow

Yes but the great civilizations haven't always had a Kristallnacht, often liberty and democracy has declined slowly, like what we are seeing with global warming, you know, the bumble bees disappearing here, too many mosquitoes there, etc., etc, before you know it we are Venus or Mars. For me it real...

JimHow

Where are all the post-debate polls? The media, needless to say, is pitiful. Including the NYT.

JimHow

I think the electoral map calculus is getting very dicey, with Nevada leaning towards Trump and New Mexico very close due to the fact that Johnson is polling well there. Plus, there's that cursed one vote here in the second district in Maine. It looks like it may all come down to… surprise… Florida....

Blatant voter suppression in Wisconsin:

Donald Trump in Manheim, PA last night.
This is some scary shit, man.

I'll be there for the Bordeaux dinner on Saturday but I can't make it to the Friday night dinner.

JimHow

Yes Dorothy Rabinowitz but that was not the formal editorial board position.
I love the WSJ but when the editorial board goes for Clinton I will believe it when I see it.

JimHow

I think we are going to be dealing with a "provisional ballot" fiasco.
Can you imagine if this goes to the US Supreme Court and it's a 4-4 tie?
It would be like a bad novel.

JimHow

Oops yes, 2012.

JimHow

Despite a federal court order, the state of Wisconsin DMV is not issuing voter IDs in time enough for the election. They say this will affect about 9% of the population, mostly poor and African American. https://www.thenation.com/article/wisconsin-is-systematically-failing-to-provide-the-photo-ids-r...

JimHow

I don't know if you are following the voter suppression issue going on in Wisconsin right now.
Scott Walker is stealing the election there.

JimHow

Just ordered the last 5 bottles in stock at the Wine House in L.A., CA. I was at a fancy wedding on Cape Cod last weekend, hanging out with a bunch of top GE billionaire execs, and the bottle of this wine was a favorite among my Bords, Brunellos, etc., that I brought for the weekend. Having a bottle...

I'm more than happy to be proved wrong Danny. I have no allegiance to any estate. When I have thought Lynch was great I have said so. When I thought it had come to suck, I have said so. Ironically, my favorite estate in Bordeaux right now may be the Purple Baron, I think they are firing on all cylin...

JimHow

So she picked up about 2 points post-debate.
She's doomed.
We're all doomed.

JimHow

We need to do a blind tasting of GPL, Lynch, Baron, and, I don't know, Haut Batailley or a Cali Cab?

JimHow

Lol I was trying not to cast too much of my negativity on JonathanP's positive experience.
And admittedly I have not had it since its early days.
But of course I maintain that the only great GPL has been the 95.

JimHow

Let's make Bordeaux great again!

JimHow

Total chaos and over 3 hrs in line before I cut the queue to catch next flight. Hundreds/thousands of people missed connections and they don't give a damn. Talk about absence of order and who knows about law. Bribes being made and others trying are delayed further by trying to bribe the wrong guy. ...

JimHow

I thought the 2012 GPL was very soft, almost merlot-like.

JimHow

It's been years since I've had it.

JimHow

Thanks for the report JonathanP, this has been a bit of a controversial BWE wine, some of us think it may have been a bit too soft.
