He did say that his employees struggle to obtain healthcare on the ACA exchanges.

He did congratulate Newt on calling Megyn Kelly "sex obsessed".

Is it true that Trump currently has a TV show via his facebook live feed?

Yup. Almost like that was the plan this whole time.

At this point the only way he could lose is if they catch him in bed with a goblin.

No way, I'd switch my vote to Trump. If goblin's are real, I'm not going to piss them off.

This would be hilarious if he wasnt dead serious. The guy would be a fucking dictator. You want to see a real revolution? Let him take power. Good god.

If Trump had a modicum of self control he would have won.

Just saw where Trump blamed the pussy grabbing tape on NBC because the mic wasn't supposed to be on and now he's suing NBC, Universal and Access Hollywood.

He's certainly proven that many of the assumed knowns about how a campaign must be run were dubious at best. The spending he opted out of hasn't hurt him nearly as much as was expected, and he has made it very clear that a candidate could stab an old lady and rob a bank and still stay close to having half of the vote.

Sitting here at the dealership having work done, none of us can help but listen to this old guy on his cell talking to someone about the election. He wants people to open their eyes and see how evil Hillary is. Then, in the next breath, tells this person that the polls are lying so it will look like Hillary's winning because they want her to win. He thinks that Trump is actually AHEAD in ALL the polls but they lie to the public to ge her to win.

Trump is gaining some ground nationally, and it appears he's pulling most of the support from former Johnson voters; Mr. "What's Aleppo?" is polling under 5% for the first time all year, which would mean--sorry, trag--that the Libertarians wouldn't get federal funding for 2020 if that's where he finishes.

Where you've gotta look are Clinton's tipping-point states: Nevada (+3), Florida (+2), North Carolina (+2), and Iowa (+0.2, or something ridiculously small). Trump needs to win every one of those states--and even if he does, that's not enough to win. He'd then have to win New Hampshire (currently Clinton +7) to force an electoral college tie, or Pennsylvania (C +6), Colorado (C +6), or Michigan (C +6) to win. The more I write this out, the more nervous I get--people are saying that you "can't have so many polling errors this big," but there's still 10 days to go and Trump can probably pick up a few points here and there as long as things stay relatively calm.

I'm not surprised -- Johnson has been flaming out pretty hard the last couple weeks. Such a shame, though I suppose the GOP in-fighting that follows this election will be progress of a sort.

I'm really not scared of Trump winning -- it would have to be such a perfect storm of events for that to happen -- but I am somewhat fearful of one (or a few) Trump supporters voicing their anger with violence.
What should maybe soothe Clinton supporters--or anyone who's scared of Trump-- is that the states Trump needs to win are so, so spread out that they really don't correlate with each other, i.e., they don't have similar demographics, industries, historic voting patterns, etc. He'd need to gain across the board and with so many different groups to win, say, Michigan and Nevada. It's not like he needs to lock up North and South Dakota.
