Looks like what he said on the Billy Bush bus was a rare moment of truthfulness.

The press has the Trump tape for months but decidex to release it one month before the election and the Friday before the debate. Do you Kool-Aid drinkers really think that was a coincidence?

Of course they are. They're sane. Drumpf violates every norm for a Presidential candidate - and his supporters are even crazier than he is. Actually, the truth is that Drumpf likely doesn't believe half of what says, but his supporters do believe these things - which makes them even scarier.



There's nothing scary about Trump and his supporters. At the end of the day , congress makes the final decision.

Nope. It was a nicely timed attack.

What does that have to do with the polls being inaccurate though?

Even just as a symbol, the biggest nation in the world having a racist and sexist president is disgusting

Not all Trump supporters are racist, xenophobic, white nationalists who lust for an America that will never come back (and really never existed). I know Trump supporters who are not like that at all.

But the ones who are like that, which I would say is a fairly large chunk, I would classify as dangerous/scary.

In addition, having a person who represents those disgusting traits are our frontfacing leader to the world is a scary thing in and of itself, even his "policies" don't get enacted.

In your opinion. In the opinion of every newspaper and periodical not owned by Murdock, including those owned by solid Republicans (like the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos), he's a nightmare - as are his voters.

What Trump is effectively doing is bringing out the devil in people. I'm not religious or anything, but I believe that everyone is capable of both "good" and "evil."

Trump is creating a trend where it's becoming "fashionable" to act like a douche. After Hillary's "deplorable" comment, people seem to think that being "deplorable" is something to be proud of. And it's creeping into all areas of society including Congress.

That's pretty scary in my book...

Nailed it.

The Republican Party was put on the map by a man who appealed to the better angels of our nature. Trump is appealing to the devils in all of us - and if it helps boost "his brand", he doesn't care.

It's all but over for this d-bag. Nate Silver has him at 9.1% to win if the election were held today. It will be bittersweet when he loses because now we're forced to have another phony politician in the white house.
And just like that, the lead has been cut to 8!

If the Clinton campaign didn't collude with the media against him, he would've had a legit shot at the Democratic ticket. He came impressively close, even given the status quo.

Your statement is going to go misunderstood by the "masses", you know that right?

But it's very telling of whats ahead.

Hillary has some big butt donors that know they can work her to get their needs met and they want her in the White House. Trump on the other hand is the wildcard and they really don't know how he will play in the sandbox


That one is seemingly above the law, is more dangerous, not only for this country.

He lost by close to 4 million votes he really wasn't that close...

Hillary is like death by poison and Trump is like death by ebola.

I don't know which is more painful, but we're screwed either way.

That would have handed the election to Trump.

Bernie was consistently thrashing Trump in head-to-head polls during primary season. It makes sense too. Both are perceived as populist candidates (though only one of them actually is), but Bernie has the benefit of not being a total moron.

Fair, but how "close" he was is highly subjective. When you consider:
1. His relative anonymity at the beginning of the primaries
2. How he consistently trended upwards throughout the primaries
3. The fact that the DNC was actively working against him (as evidenced by Wikileaks)
4. The average donation to his campaign was something like $100

Getting 40+% of the vote was an impressive feat.
And just like that, the lead has been cut to 8!
