I think the polls will begin to tighten again in about a week if there are no "new" types of stories coming out. The p-grabber video was just so fresh that it caused an immediate surge; these old stories are all so "same-y" that they probably won't move the needle too much. So Clinton's lead will shrink from 6%-7% back towards 4%-5%, and Democrats will start wetting the bed again (although, I think, that's a hold that could hold until 11/8).

It's (hopefully) going to be hilarious to see people still wearing these in a month. Like just aa funny as people who still have "1-20-09: Obama's Last Day!" bumper stickers on their cars.

I have a feeling even worse stories will come out about him. It's obvious some of this stuff has held on for the october surprise and it feels like a full court press that has been well thought out. I bet a big bomb drops a day before election day.

What's the percentage of people that vote before election day? I think if they had something else, they would release it in the next few days at the latest.

Considering the area I grew up in, I'm actually a little shocked at how progressive some of them are.

Don't get me wrong, there's a majority of mouth-breathers with Trump/Pence banners but I'm more than a little glad that those I considered my best friends are not.

A lot of my childhood friends who are trump supporters made very poor choices even as young junior high kids, or high schoolers, that im not one bit surprised are trump supporters. Not on ebit shocking.

It's amazing how unhesitatingly proud Trump supporters seem to be in the USA, what with the hats and signs on front lawns whatnot.

The Shy Tory effect seems significant in the UK and Australia but I don't sense that same kind of reticence from American conservatives.

I'm more or less on right side of the political spectrum but my parents don't know that, many of my friends wouldn't, none of my workmates, etc.

Yeah, that's odd. Wouldn't that be Bush's last day? Obama's would have been in 2013 and again in 2017.

No one edit that post. It's scary enough.
