It's another Brexit. Trump is a submarine. He will win. As long as he can keep folks focused on the present he only has to push the metric on one day. :coffee:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/ ... ns2000.usa Hillary called Paul Fray, Bill Clinton's campaign manager at the time, a "fucking Jew bastard". Jerry Oppenheimer, said: "Three witnesses have now publicly acknowledged that she said it." Bill Clinton admitted half of it -- saying "She might have called him a bastard, I wouldn't rule that out. She's never claimed that she was pure on profanity. Campaign manager Paul Fray, and Mr Fray's wife, Mary Lee were in the room and attest to her saying it. Neill McDonald, a campaign worker, was just outside the room and claims to have heard everything.

Even after a bias moderator and a lackluster effort by Trump, It looks like the public don't like Clinton.

Yeah. And it's no wonder people like 42 support him, with their backward views on how women should be and how men should be, and how threatened they feel from people who are different to them. Trump is basically a man-child appealing to other man-children.

Moderator bias? :funny: The moderator totally lost control. He played almost no part in the thing.

Howard Dean Just Accused Donald Trump of Being on Cocaine During the Debate
So far in this debate, Donald Trump has sniffled approximately 12,000 times, sipped a lot of water, and argued loudly with the lady next to him. On Twitter, Howard Dean says what we’re all thinking—cocaine?

Lol. Trump supporters on Reddit and 4Chan spent last night vote-botting online polls. In other words, all those polls which show a Trump win aren't worth shit. :lol:

Princeton Election Consortium has Clinton ahead, but with a small meta-margin of 2.1% - http://election.princeton.edu/ - so, while she is projected to take 303 electoral votes now, a small bump for Trump could move that dramatically.

I was imagining Trump as a birder. Or better yet, Trump and Hillary go birding. They are in the same area but different teams. Trump gets the checklist and checks off all the birds and lights up a cigar, never leaving the parking lot. An hour later the Hillary party comes back. She has checked off all but 5 of the rarest. And she saw a chickadee, a robin and a cardinal, as well as a few woodpeckers. She checked off all woodpeckers.

"Donald, where are your binoculars?" "I left them home. We birded by ear."
