The announcement is a bombshell though, we won't know the results until after the last vote has been cast, so the implications are quite negative for the Democrats.
It's close because he represents team Red and people hate Hillary.
If anything, this election should be a stark reminder that it doesn't matter who's running from either major party; 40% of the national vote is basically their floor.
I'd still be surprised (not shocked) if he gets to 43%. Unless this absolutely destroys her in key states, it doesn't really matter. As long as her safe states remain safe, she doesn't need anything else.

They were a complete joke because Trump made them that way. Trump did his damndest to make the GE debates a joke as well. Go look at how differently Clinton handles Trump than any of the GOP did. They all allowed themselves to get offended and angry and they willingly went down to Trump's level. That is a phenomenon that would be just as, if not more, likely in a one on one debate.
Clinton was prepared and had a plan and, more importantly, had the confidence to stick to that plan. Ted Cruz is a national debate champion and he allowed himself to be pulled into Trump's crazy. Give Clinton some credit for staying above that.

It's "close" because Trump is the republican nominee.
I don't think the facts agree with this. This was the most expensive Senate race EVER (adjusted for inflation). The reality is that the Republican machine threw everything it had at Hillary and she only pulled away late, particularly after Lazio overstepped during the debate.
I don't think people understand just how much the GOP hates Hillary. The money spent to defeat her throughout her career is obscene and not supportive of the facts here that "any D" would win.
People can't give credit to Hillary for anything. Her senate seat is won just because she's a democrat (Regardless that Republicans were still popular at the time or that she had high unfavorables and an relentless media on her back) and that anyone could've defeated Trump...the GOP primary debaters were just too weak.
Anything a woman does isn't impressive enough.

Yeah, he's toast. If Comey's smart (admittedly a very big if) he will announce that he'll be stepping down in order to give incoming President Clinton a free hand to shape the FBI. That's really about all he can do to save face. Otherwise he'll be forced out in disgrace. The FBI hates being tainted with politics so I can't imagine all that many people within it willing to speak out for Comey after this stunt.
Technically, I'd say that the Republican field was all sorts of weak. However it does highlight how well Clinton has handled Trump - everything has been pretty on point, and that's far from easy to accomplish.
Yup. Hillary Clinton is one of if not the most publicly scrutinized politician in history and she still manages to do her job and come out on top. I admire her for that. Give credit where credit is due.

This is also the reason Bernie would have done terribly against Trump in the Debates. He would have gotten angry, drawn into the Mudd with Trump.
I still don't think this will be enough for Trump to get in. The nature of the announcement can be interpreted either direction and the electoral math is still in Hillary's favor.
The electoral math/state makeup preludes any scandal. I don't believe people are going to switch their vote because of "This MAY OR MAY NOT BE something".

That's quite an assumption.
Considering his demeanor in the primary debates and how heated he gets, not really.

Looks like all of the events where Obama or Biden were scheduled to speak on behalf of Clinton were cancelled last night.
Must be all about Huma/Wiener...
EDIT: looks like the events around the picture are unclear and people are getting railed. Removed the image link.

People absolutely will.
Would a staunch supporter? No.
Would someone who was on the edge but thought 'meh, I'll just go for Hilary'? Absolutely this could make them change their mind.
I'd suggest that kind of person would be more likely to just not vote rather than go to the other side, but this sort of stuff will change some people's opinion of how they will vote.

You must follow a lot of interesting and misleading pro-Trump twitter feeds for an independent voter. Either way, here's the latest update from the WH itself.

So Obama is going to campaign for Hillary without having events?
Do you ever get tired of playing yourself? I'm just asking for a friend.
Maybe try reading other posts in the thread and doing actual research before posting Trump twitter shit. Like this post:
Seriously? Do you ever get tired of playing yourself?

Once again, the incredibly pro-Trump twitter feeds you follow are misguiding you, Mr. Independent.
Yeah he's a goner.

Hmmm. Looks like they were removed and the put back.
The campaign probably considered the optics a bit late.
Or they were never removed in the first place and you got played by your twitter feed. It wouldn't be the first time.
Or you being a terrible discerning of reliable sources.
Well, that exchange was good for a laugh. Anything to make you feel like where you got that is a reliable source.

I don't want to backseat mod, but this is a decent message board -- seriously drop the act or do some independent research when you share whatever popped up on your facebook feed. Fucking hate how 90% of info shared on Facebook by conservatives has some website name like FREEDOMPATRIOT.NET or LIBERTYPUNDITS.ORG or some BS conservative news organization
Why does the "newer" Schedule on the right have scheduled dates on the 28th that are missing on the "older" schedule on the left?
Just stop.

Except
"Hillary Clinton Speeches is not affiliated with Hillary Clinton, her representatives, or Hillary for America."
Also if you click on the events you'll see they're all still listed on the OFFICIAL campaign website as individual events. Just like they always were.
Because it's faked.

What's a Gary Johnson voter doing spreading so much stuff right out of Trump's reddit brigade. That's the real mystery here.

I don't mind if it is quoted.
I'll admit it's looking like Twitter played me like a fiddle here.

This makes me so mad. It's such transparent, manufactured bullshit. Almost makes you understand why Trump is constantly accusing the media of being more interested in supporting a narrative than reporting the facts,

Wrong. The conspiracy must run deeper! Secret rallies taking place in the shadow realm!
Hah, the shitposting never ceases to amaze me.
You're purposely misleading people that will have to be continuously corrected throughout the thread, I highly suggest you edit it.
