For 2016 Day 4 of Cumulative In-Person NC Absentee Voting Same Day #s to 2012 by Party: overall -1%, Dems -10%, GOP -5%, Unaffiliated +28%

Exactly right. I have thought for a long time that the GOPe line that Republicans needed to become more "moderate" (read: liberal) to appeal to independents was utter nonsense since most of the independents are actually disaffected conservatives.
I don’t see that. I see NH, CO, PA, etc., being as among the swing states Trump has a chance to win in.
But I of course hope you’re right—as that means a Trump landslide.
That’s why these polls are so messed up. A lot of people jmped to independent and are voting Trump, so the independents polled is undersampled, combined with the oversampling of democrats (no way she gets the same turnout as Obama or even near it). Could mean Trump blowout.
Bill Mitchell claims on his Twitter page that the +28% Unaffiliated who have turned out so far in North Carolina are actually Republicans who are unhappy with the GOP and became “independent.”
He claims this is the “monster vote” manifesting itself.
trump landslide - saw people voting in texas - a lot of Hispanics wearing red and voting - they get immigration!
If you hear the words on election night, “CBS News Projects Donald Trump as the winner in the State of New York” expect to hear the sounds of shrieks and glass breaking from where-ever Pickles Clinton is holded up.
I hope the Secret Service guys are wearing suits of armor.
Which leads me to two things: if Indiana is just simply at 2012 levels: 54-43, then NC is safely red, and then it's a dogfight - one without the 'racial guilt' vote (which I've never understood and not about to start).
However, if Indiana is all the way rebounded to 2004: 59-39, then NC is brick red, and so is OH. And if OH is brick red, it is all possible from there, starting with NH...
Remember that Diamond and Silk are from NC.
New York has a lot going for Trump, people are fed up in New York, just like they are fed up everywhere else
I know it has a history of election liberals, but Hillary Clinton is no liberal, she is a wall street crony who only wants to feather her own nest. People see through her fakeness. New Yorkers like keeping it real and Donald Trump is a fellow New Yorker. Plus upstate is supporting him in droves.
I looked at his blog on these numbers and couldn’t make sense of it LOL!

These early retuns reports are flummoxing me!
Voted today 10am lines out the door and was longer when we left. Pender County is conservative but nothing I ever saw like this before.
Who is Bill Mitchell?
Hey, where have they been lately?
I am here on the ground and come across the usual number of libbed-out idiots who are shocked to believe that I could vote for Trump.
But I hope you are right.
“...I think NY is in play...”
I do as well.
New York is not in play, but you’re saying it is looks like PsyOps that can only help Hillary.
How many voting booths were operational? I was looking and apparently there are several early voting sites.
So far, the demographics in North Carolina look good for Trump. The electorate that has voted has not had the same African-American turnout as in 2012, and there are not as many younger voters who have shown up.
Depending on how many people vote early, we may be able to roughly project North Carolina even before election day.
look at it this way
instead of Trump defending Texas, he should be attacking her in New York and California, put them into play
its called warfare
better to be on the offensive then defending turf
Texas in play? The media is just trying to get Trump to buy TV ads in Texas, that is all
I am just saying reverse it on them
