Not to "diablos" too much, but I think a difference between this and previous elections is the higher support for third party candidates. And I think this just basically signals a far larger group who doesn't know yet if they'll vote, who to vote for if they do, or don't want to tell who they'll vote for. So I think this year, reading the polls is a little less easy. If there's a 3 point swing to Trump in general on election day, it's becomes basically a coin toss. I want Hillary to have a commanding lead, in case the polls don't catch a certain demographic.

I have a tough time believing that undecideds will swing towards Trump though.

Now he's saying she has a sex tape. Holy shit Donald.

What is this, the 90s? Who gives a shit?

Fox News: "Democrats say voter fraud doesn't exist, yet how did 19 dead people register to vote?"

Life, how does it work?


Also, the Machado spin was so bad this morning I got dizzy and threw up. Fox really is the last place that needs to try and defend a sexist pig.

I didn't get much sleep last night, but have just found this race has taken another remarkable turn. Losing that debate really cut deeply into his psyche.. imagine the fireworks should he lose the next two.

Question, Trump says he has a secret plan that will destroy ISIS. Why doesn't Hillary say something to him to the effect of it's fine to keep it secret from the public but why is he holding this solution to stopping ISIS close to his vest until he possibly gets elected and not sharing that with Obama and our defense military? He is supposedly sitting on the way to stop ISIS while they continue to murder innocents.

Obviously he has no real secret plan, but it would be a nice spin.

He's used to claiming victory even after losing and having everyone believe it, or at least concede the point to him. This debate might be the first time he hasn't been able to spin his failure into a victory in the court of public opinion.
 
So, despite clear evidence of ties, despite the Democrats wishes, and despite they, themselves, having concerns over them, the House will not approve an investigation in Trump's Russian ties. Because the FBI apparently messed up Hillary's investigation, so we can't let them investigate Trump.

This is pathetic.

I wouldn't have expected anything less. The FBI can do it easily (or whatever department that would fall under)

I remember conservatives mocking Team Clinton for bringing in psychologists to determine how to unhinge him during the debate.. I bet they're not laughing now.

She already just straight up stated "The truth is he has no plan" in the debate. Which is very obviously the case given any of his statements on the matter.

we'll probably see dems take back congress if he loses the next two in the same fashion.

So did Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper.

Feels pretty weird having a presidential nominee tell us to check out a sex tape.

Also, the way the media has been reporting this "sex tape" has been gross, calling her a porn star and stuff like that. Even calling it a sex tape is really overstating what it is.
 
Tweeting before dawn about it. That's what's keeping him up??

Cocaine.

I hope Hillary is researching new shit to throw at orange turd during the second debate.

I could honestly see Trump snapping at either Hillary or a voter at the next debate. Because the next debate is in a town hall format. The same type of debate where President Obama dropped the "Please proceed, Governor" line.
Now, imagine that but with Trump.

He can't let a story go. He's taking the story all the way into the weekend because he's having a meltdown that he lost the debate. His campaign is spiraling and no one can calm him down and get him on track.

Remember this from before? This happens right before another campaign shakeup. I bet Conway is gonna step down. Bannon might stay on because he supports Trump's fringe garbage but Conway is gone after this. I just can't see her wanting to answer "Should Trump being advising voters to check out a nonexistent sex tape?" over and over.

What media outlets have been doing that? Not saying that you're wrong, but at least Maggie Haberman's been tweeting/re-tweeting that it's not a sex-tape, and I doubt she's the only one.
 
Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 6h6 hours ago
Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying "sources said," DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 14m14 minutes ago
Remember, don't believe "sources said" by the VERY dishonest media. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist.

Racist, orange, drunk Grandpa is repeating himself.
SAD!
 
I can just imagine Trump tossing and turning in bed, muttering to himself and angry at the situation unfolding, until he, partially sleep depraved, just starts firing off his stream of conscious onto Twitter without a filter or anything.

Question:

Could Alicia Machado sue Trump for libel? Or is it too fine a distinction that "subtle, tame night-vision scene in reality TV show" is not the same as "sex tape"?

Even if it were, if she's an actress in LA now, anything that could harm her career and is technically untrue is ripe for a court-case or a formal request for apology, surely?

Oh please. No one cares about sex tapes these days. Let alone crap from Big Brother.

It's only been a few weeks since we had competing Bieberpeen and Orlando's Florida.
 
I mean, who doesn't have a sex tape? Seriously.
I mean I don't. Because, you know, I'm saving myself for marriage. But most other people do, I assume.

I figured him snapping at a voter was a foregone conclusion at this point.

One of them is going to ask him a question he doesn't like and he's going to start a fight.

If you recall during the CIC forum he falsely corrected a female veteran who was asking about suicide in the military.

GOP is blocking Dem attempts to open investigation into Trump-Russian ties.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/30/gop-blocks-probes-into-trump-russia-ties.html

Privately, Republican congressional staff told The Daily Beast that Trump and his aides’ connections to Russian officials and businesses interests haven’t gone unnoticed and are concerning. And GOP lawmakers have reviewed Democrats’ written requests to the FBI that it investigate Trump before they were made public.

But the lawmakers in both chambers have declined to sign on to them. Republicans have no appetite to launch inquiries into their party’s presidential nominee, and they continue to believe the FBI flubbed its investigation into Clinton and her aides, who should have been charged with mishandling government secrets, the staffers said.

I totally understand people who say Trump is doing this stuff and distracting from the Trump Foundation story, but in a way, I'm fine with that. WaPo and Newsweek will keep digging and building a case and the Trump campaign will keep dismissing it.

Over and over until they finally uncover the one big piece they need. And by then, the Trump campaign will realize they're already 10 feet underwater.

What's going on with Gary Johnson that makes today a bad day? Lol. It's he still doing well in the polls?

And someone said Hillary will be in Ohio this weekend? Do we know where? Her website just says "Ohio". I want to go if she's in Columbus!

Also, I realize that Ohio does seem to be less important this year, but I don't think she should give up on it yet. I'm being a bit selfish, though: I don't want the state in which I live to become a Republican hell hole. We're on a precipice right now--mostly thanks to gerrymandering--and I don't want Trump's message to become the standard instead of Hillary's.
