US Electoral College Projections Showing a Hillary Clinton Edge

But U.S. presidential elections are not determined by the national popular vote.

Rather they are decided by the electoral college, with each of the country's 50 states having a say in the outcome based on its population and the number of senators and representatives it has in Congress. So it is possible, as happened in 2000, that a presidential candidate can lose the national popular vote, as former President George W. Bush narrowly did that year, and still win the White House with more electoral votes.

There are 538 electors, with a majority 270 needed to claim the presidency.

Five U.S. news outlets and independent political analysts all say that Clinton, seeking to become the first female U.S. president, is ahead in electoral college projections.

The problem is it doesn't matter.

Neither is fit to be President.

It absolutely amazes me how many seemingly intelligent can't see that. I've even become an outcast in my own family over this! (Maybe I need a shrink) :)

I'm in the same boat as you but I don't think I need shrink! If you use your brain to figure things out these days you automatically become an outcast.
I'm sure I could throw Hillary farther than I would trust her. She's proven that she's a liar and will say anything to get people o her side. Until I see some proof that Trump is an incompetent liar I'd rather take a chance on him.

How the sausage gets made: Politico reporter Ken Vogel sent an advance copy of a story -- in its entirety -- to top DNC communication officials to review before it was published.

A massive dump of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails via Wikileaks has revealed that Politico reporter Ken Vogel sent an advance copy of a story — in its entirety — to top DNC communication officials to review before it was published.

After being harshly criticized on social media and in conservative circles, Politico now calls Vogel's email a "mistake" and says it was a violation of the publication's policy.

"POLITICO's policy is to not share editorial content pre-publication except as approved by editors,” says spokesman Brad Dayspring. "In this case, the reporter was attempting to check some very technical language and figures involving the DNC's joint fundraising agreement with the Clinton campaign." "Checking the relevant passages for accuracy was responsible and consistent with our standards," the statement continues. "Sharing the full piece was a mistake and not consistent with our policies. There were no substantive changes to the piece."

The controversy comes after the following email string was discovered in the Wikileaks dump that has already forced DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to say she’ll resign at the end of the convention this week.

“Per agreement … any thoughts appreciated,” Vogel wrote to DNC national press secretary Mark Paustenbach on April 30, attaching a full draft of the story before it went to Politico editors.
