How will Trump handle losing the election?

we might expect Trump after the election when many of the controls now apparently in on him will be gone and he could go a bit apeshit.

That reporting is credible because Trump's tweets over the last two weeks or so are quite unlike what preceded.

Text analysis of Trump's tweets confirms he writes only the (angrier) Android half

When Trump wishes the Olympic team good luck, he’s tweeting from his iPhone. When he’s insulting a rival, he’s usually tweeting from an Android. Is this an artifact showing which tweets are Trump’s own and which are by some handler?

Others have explored Trump’s timeline and noticed this tends to hold up- and Trump himself does indeed tweet from a Samsung Galaxy. But how could we examine it quantitatively? I’ve been writing about text mining and sentiment analysis recently, particularly during my development of the tidytext R package with Julia Silge, and this is a great opportunity to apply it again.

My analysis, shown below, concludes that the Android and iPhone tweets are clearly from different people, posting during different times of day and using hashtags, links, and retweets in distinct ways. What’s more, we can see that the Android tweets are angrier and more negative, while the iPhone tweets tend to be benign announcements and pictures. Overall I’d agree with @tvaziri’s analysis: this lets us tell the difference between the campaign’s tweets (iPhone) and Trump’s own (Android).

Someone who actually votes for Trump does more damage to Clinton's election chances than someone who doesn't vote at all.

Reporting by the Times suggests that Trump's campaign people are disallowing him to do his normal twitter stuff and are writing for him or censoring his tendencies.

So over 40% of the voters are voting for a guy who can't be trusted with a Twitter account?

Lewes bonfire night is always pretty spectacular. A lot of Donald Trumps burned that night.













Even Osama Bin Laden only merited one guy after 9/11.

Nate Silver has depressed me since the primaries have been over. While he still puts Clinton ahead, it is so filled with uncertainties my stomach starts it tensing...I think in the end I am going to have to see a doctor about it. Apparently it is the undeciders who might decide to go to a third party who will end up giving the Presidency to Trump. If nothing else we will know who to blame but that will be small consolation when our country goes down the tubes.

Election Update: The Campaign Is Almost Over, And Here’s Where We Stand

Speaking for the first time on the FBI’s statement saying they had found no criminal activity in new Hillary Clinton emails, Donald Trump said he doubts the agency could have really reviewed all the missives in time. “You can’t review 650,000 new emails in eight days,” Trump said Sunday night in Sterling Heights, MI. “You can’t do it, folks.”

His comment echoed his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway’s position on television hours earlier: “Do you think that they went through hundreds of thousands of emails in a week?” Conway said on MSNBC. “Because that may strike a lot of Americans as unusual.”

In FBI director James Comey’s Sunday statement, he said the FBI “has been working around the clock” to process the emails, and that they were only reviewing emails sent to and from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. (The emails were found on the laptop of Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s estranged husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner.) CNN also reports that many of the newly discovered emails were personal notes unrelated to the investigation or duplicates of what had already been seen.

But Trump’s theory goes farther than skepticism about FBI agents’ ability to check all the emails. He also said the FBI actually found Clinton to be guilty of a crime and withheld it from the public. “Hillary Clinton is guilty,” he said in Michigan. “She knows it, the FBI knows it, the people know it. And now it is up to the American people to deliver justice at the ballot box on Nov. 8.”
