I think it is going to be more guilt by association. She will try to drag out every nutty professor that has some relation to Trump that she can. She will likely continue to bad mouth his supporters. Maybe some trashing of Palin. Might as well beat that horse.

Trump’s following Bonaparte’s advice: never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Simply staggering. Trump is being outspent 53:1.

So was Majority Leader Cantor.

Oh, wait...

Yup, Trump is saving his ammo for use at the most effective time. Most likely one to two weeks before the election, which is the effective memory limit of most people.

The Beast blew a fortune with nothing accomplished.

True. To a large extent, the media forms public opinion.

North Central PA, we are all Corning/Elmira market. We don’t have to put up with her. She will not spend the money here because no one is voting for her in this market.

Wait until the Old Post Office ribbon cutting with the entire Trump family present. I predict the fanfare will be a monumental Trump extravaganza. I’d love it to be a red carpet, black tie affair including military in dress blues sipping champagne and dancing in the ballroom.

“The democrats are really showing their gold-plated stupidity running such a nothing burger candidate in the first place.”

I’m pretty sure the old bulls in the Democrat party already understood that this would be a ‘wave election’, and that the natural eight year pendulum swing of White House possession was in the Republicans’ favor.

It didn’t cost them anything to let Hillary be the nominee this time around. They were going to lose anyway, and this was the best way possible to get rid of the Clintons once and for all.

Political payback has been accomplished, and all the criminal players’ backsides are covered. If she somehow eaked out a win, even better. In their initial masterminding with the RINO treason establishment, it wouldn’t have made any difference who won. The feeding would continue.

None of them banked on an outsider like Trump becoming the Republican nominee. He’s completely derailed all their careful planning, and now they’re stuck with one of the worst candidates they could have chosen, to defend the globalist oligarchy.

That surprises me. Aren’t Cornell U. and Ithaca College in your market? They’re bastions of liberalism.

“The democrats are really showing their gold-plated stupidity running such a nothing burger candidate in the first place. What the hell were they thinking?”

My guess is that she demanded that she runs. The Democrats had better people to run this year (well, better for them, not the USA at large). She has to have the goods on anyone associated with the FedGov. I couldn’t imagine her NOT having a load of documents on Obama (why would he campaign for her ... Colin Powell all but said they hate each other after 2008 in his emails).

It was either let her run OR she unloads most of the goodies she’s collected over the years to her scummy friends in the media. Of course, she has to keep some of the goodies withheld in an effort to keep her lard ass out of jail should any kind of legal prosecution occur.

I think Hillary’s handlers have her convinced she is going to win mainly out of fear. The Clintons are walking repellants of truth. Not only can they not speak it, they can’t process it. That’s why ashtrays are thrown at people when they hear things they cannot understand.

If she loses ... check that ... WHEN she loses, I think two things will happen :

1> More will come out about her. When she loses, she will have lost almost anything resembling power. Some people in D.C. *have* to be sick of her, but fear speaking out since she could very well become POTUS. I’m sure some will want to kick her when she’s down not having the fear of Clinton reprisals since it’s a foregone conclusion she’ll never hold any power over anyone forever WHEN she loses.

2> Assuming #1 happens, she’ll unload what she has to distract and deflect. That’s going to lead to the Democratic party ripping itself apart. A nice side effect of this is that Trump could have her indicted and she won’t have any blackmail avenues.

It’s going to be *really* interesting if Trump wins and Republicans hold the Senate and House :-). It’ll be even more interesting if its a landslide.

“here in Pittsburgh throughout the day. This is not an exaggeration, on those three channels I counted 14 times one of her ads ran.”

I’m in the same area and see the same ads :-). You know what’s funny, Trump’s one ad that airs occasionally in this area makes you want to jump up and cheer ... Hillary’s sound like the canned nonsense spewed every 4 years.

If Trump ups the frequency of his ad only slightly, she’ll implode around here. Yeah, there’s a LOT of union Dems in Western PA, but they aren’t the frigging liberal communists like the trash that infects Oakland and other areas of the city.

Trump is working very hard himself, not relying on ads. Hillary is low energy.

Not gonna gut it this time. Needs a hard re-boot, reprogrammed middleware and maybe a new motherboard. Maybe they can ask on Reddit how to do that.

This would be the level of reboot she would need to have a chance ... Broomstick Bunny (30 sec.)

Wouldn't it be a hoot to see what the DUmpster Kids are saying about Nate Silver these days.

Hillary must reintroduce yourself to the American public during the debates for her to turn this around. Heard that before?

She loses Pennsylvania it’s all over folks. Would hate to have to be around a TV there for the next couple of weeks.
