Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has narrowed as Republicans have rallied behind the New York businessman in the weeks since he became his party’s presumptive nominee for the presidency. Mrs. Clinton now leads Mr. Trump by just 3 percentage points, 46% to 43%, in a test matchup between the two likely nominees, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows. Other polls suggest an even tighter race.

The polls are all over the place as one would expect given that Sanders is still running. Once he's gone things will change. Trump will be beaten, maybe not quite as badly as Goldwater was but I think he may lose Georgia, Indiana and maybe even Mississippi.
Did anyone see HBO's "All the way" movie this weekend? It was the story of LBJ and the civil right act and the '64 election. Bryan Cranston played LBJ and was brilliant. Amazing how many parallels there are to today. Black people denied the vote in southern states, a racist demagogue running on the republican ticket etc...

I don't mind Bernie so much, I agree with some of the things he has to say, he probably wouldn't even make a bad president. Corbyn on the other hand is a dribbling fvckwit who should be stacking shelves at tesco.
God forbid that should have a job like that working for capitalism!Cleaning latrines in poor parts of a third world country would be more in line with his calling, at least he could make a contribution to mankind.

Confused with this West London event that occurred yesterday.
"A man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing of four women in a supermarket car park in London.
Ethem Aydin Orhon, 66, was charged with four counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of an offensive weapon. He appeared at Wimbledon magistrates court on Saturday and was remanded in custody to appear at Kingston crown court on 17 June.
The women, aged 53, 62, 67 and 71, are in a stable condition in hospital. They were attacked in the Sainsbury’s car park in the suburb of Hampton, south-west London, on Friday, just after 10.30am. Some of the women were attacked as they got out of their cars".

Turkish name, the surname is likely to be mis-spelt' it should be Orhan (I presume)."A man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing of four women in a supermarket car park in London.

Google 'voter ID laws' in relation to South Carolina or Texas (I've picked those two, but there are others) and read up on the subject.
Interesting, thank you. So all registered voters have a right to vote but in 18 states (approx 9 North, 9 South) they must show a photo ID first?The implication is that this will disadvantage the black community?

I suppose the "facts" fit both sides argument, so it all comes down to who you want to believe. That being said, vote rigging should be considered as utterly reprehensible from whatever side of the political spectrum one observes it.

American politics is fascinatingly grubby, though note that we've seen boundary manipulation in the UK, so perhaps stone-throwing should be kept to a minimum.

People squawked cos they hadn't bothered to register, people squawked cos they had abused the system, and the Dems came over all righteous and defensive because they knew that it was harder to rig the vote if IDs had to be produced.
