22 toxic days for Hillary Clinton (Waaaa! alert)
Politico ^ | 16 October 2016 | Annie Karni and Glenn Thrush

Posted on 10/19/2016 9:52:31 AM PDT by Lorianne

The polls point to the promised land. But she'll have to get past Trump and WikiLeaks first.___

The final three weeks should have been an anxious but happy time for a Hillary Clinton team on the cusp of making history.

Her odds of victory, according to most prediction experts, sit north of 80 percent, and she has solidified modest but durable leads over Donald Trump in most battleground states.

But Clinton's final sprint has become a joyless, nail-gnawing slog through Trump Tower’s moat of mudslinging — and the day-to-day worries of WikiLeaks’ dump of internal emails from campaign chairman John Podesta’s hacked account is taking a toll.

“This is making me tear up, it’s so infuriating and disgusting,” a Clinton aide wrote in an email halfway through the St. Louis debate, arguably the low-water point of a general election that has had few high-tide moments. “This is not our country.”

In Trump's Mourning-in-America march to the abyss, he has rejected political norms, and his campaign has largely devolved into trashing Clinton, the women accusing him of sexual assault and harassment, the legitimacy of U.S. elections, the media, President Barack Obama, the GOP and the time-honored idea of a presidential campaign as a sunny, aspirational enterprise.

Even more unnerving is the release of stolen emails popping daily, like the morning paper hitting the driveway, from WikiLeaks — part of an effort Clinton’s aides believe is geared toward dividing her supporters, sapping her team’s morale, and distracting the media’s attention from Trump’s self-immolation.

I presume Glenn Thrush got the Podesta Seal of Approval before writing this?

Glenn Thrush of Politico admitted in an email that he has been a hack for Hillary.

This from the “News Media” who, from the 1st GOP debate, started this desperate race for the bottom? Look in the mirror hypocrites. YOU started this with the 1st question at the 1st GOP debate.

Hillary loses on the issues so the Clinton campaign, with the gleeful cooperation of corrupt “News” media, made a conscious effort last year to make this the slimiest election ever.

Hillary only wins if she can scare enough people to vote against Trump. Virtually no one is voting FOR her.

“The polls point to the promised land.”

Those polls are nothing more than psychological operations to try and depress the Trump supporters. IMHO Trump has an excellent chance to win this thing. The social media is helping to get the word out.

By the way I am also on another political forum that is part of an automobile web site. It is pretty active and the vote as of last night was Trump 57 Hillary 1. I was quite surprised because there a number of Hillary posters.

Maybe someone should ask this article author, Glen Thrush, about this email chain with Podesta?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3482386/posts

Politico’s Chief Correspondent To John Podesta: “Don’t Tell Anyone I Did This”

As if there was any doubt at this point that the media is fully in bed with the Clinton campaign, Glenn Thrush, Politco’s Chief Political Correspondent, decided to make it crystal clear in the following email to Podesta back in April 2015 in which he admits that he has “become a hack.

If the self-admitted rat hack, Glenn Thrush, had even an ounce of shame, he’d be hiding out in a cave, far, far away.

If you are winning, why all the whining?

“Gloat” should be the uniform of the day.

Apparently a great deal of doubt and gloom prevail.

Nonsense! Herself is the SAVIOR, doncha know?

Buck up, put a happy face on, the election is rigged.

Almost there.
