I wish I was joking here. This is not good. Not good at all. There are enough stupid people who are going to vote for this guy just because he’s a celebrity, and he’s rich and crazy enough to carry through with this all the way to the end. I’m seriously worried about him taking enough votes away from Biden and giving the election to Trump.

Uh, Joe? This isn’t helpful.

The presumptive Democratic nominee’s appearance on “The Breakfast Club” this morning wasn’t exactly optimal, to say the least. I don’t think it’s inappropriate at this point to at least consider a different option now. Not Bernie- he had a fair chance and lost- but someone other than this walking gaffe machine who can’t go two months without stepping on his own dick. This should be disqualifying. We have one chance- ONE GOD DAMNED CHANCE- to get rid of Trump. We cannot afford to blow it.

As just reported on The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, Secretary Clinton has an 8-point lead over Donald Trump in an exit poll of people who have already voted in Florida. Most shocking, she has garnered votes from a whopping 28 (!) percent of registered Republican early voters. That is stunning. Obviously, a lot can happen between now and Election Day, but this is OUTSTANDING news. The full poll will be released tomorrow.

Trump Ad: Rosie O'Donnell and Enrique Peña Nieto are Trump supporters. No, really.

So, being the cheapskate that I am, I opened the local coupon circulator that is mailed to me each month, only to find a 2-page Trump ad in the middle of it. The whole thing- which was paid for by “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.”- looks like something a middle-schooler would have drawn up on PowerPoint 15 years ago, and is filled with laughable statements and bad grammar/spelling (“fire currupt executives”- seriously?). The first page, listed below, is a side-by-side comparison between Trump and Clinton, which apparently seems to be aimed at disaffected Bernie Sanders voters. I won't even bother going into the details, as the statements here are too inaccurate and poorly-argued to take seriously.

The second page is a depiction of the “millions of people” who allegedly support Trump, including avowed HRC supporter Russell Simmons, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, and- I am not kidding here- Rosie O’Donnell. That’s right, the same Rosie O’Donnell who has infamously engaged in a public feud with Trump over the past decade and whom Trump himself referred to as a “fat pig”, “dog”, “slob”, and “disgusting animal” at a GOP primary debate. I would ask if there is any lie the Trump campaign wouldn't be willing to tell, but I already know the answer to that. Unreal. I mean, this ad is so amateurish, poorly-made (it looks as though it was written by someone with a limited command of English) and jam-packed with laughable inaccuracies that I thought there was no way this could honestly be from the actual campaign, but there’s no evidence to the contrary.

Thanks for playing, Gary Johnson. Here's your door prize.

I knew there was going to be some benefit from watching Morning Joe every day: Wow. Gary Johnson just disqualified himself for the presidency on live TV. Anyone seriously considering voting for this guy needs to reconsider.

Seriously, Dems? "A little bit of Monica in my life"?!

So, I’m here at the Clinton/Kaine rally in Columbus, and they have this God-awful house band trying to pump up the over-heated crowd with a bunch of lame “summertime hits”. It’s not Jay-Z, but it was inoffensive...that is, until they made the INCREDIBLY horrible decision to break into Lou Bega’s “Mambo #5”. Do I really need to explain why this song choice might be a bad idea at a FUCKING HILLARY CLINTON RALLY?! Talk about completely clueless. Someone needs to be fired over this. Like, now.

I'm not sure that this is much of a diary, but the latest CNN / Time Poll of the Ohio gubernatorial race shows that people proclaiming the political demise of Governor Ted Strickland may be a bit premature.

I don't normally post diaries, but I observed something today that so deeply disturbed me, that I feel compelled to act.

Feeling a sense of patriotic duty, I decided to take advantage of Ohio's new early voting system and cast my ballot for the Obama-Biden ticket this afternoon at Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in Columbus. When I entered the auditorium where voting booths were set up, I found myself standing next to an anonymous-looking young man, who began to ask (in a loud voice so that everyone could hear him) the poll worker if his ballot would still be valid.
