Trump is working extra hard to transfer his fear and paranoia onto his rabid followers, his baseless cry that the election might be stolen is really troubling.

Oh yeah, I'm ready to exercise my 2nd amendment rights on any Trumpkin lunatic that threatens me or my livelihood with any revolution. **** that ****.

Echoes of McCain telling that other sheeple that Obama wasn't Muslim. This is the garbage the GOP has peddled for 8 years. They've filled their uneducated base with fear and hate, and 12 years of a progressive agenda just might push these nitwits over the edge especially with the "Devil" primed to take the helm. We just may get another 4 years of Obama because they are ready to burn the village down.

All this stuff about Wikileaks, the Podesta emails, media bias and corruption is a sideshow that, rightfully or wrongfully, very few Americans are interested in. The real story is the implosion of the Trump campaign and how it’s taking the Repub party down with it. There’s a good chance the Dems take back the Senate and maybe even win enough seats to control the House.

Grab your popcorn...the Donald is giving us some fantastic reality TV.

The Trump meltdown will be old news in a few months but the corruption of Hillary and Co will be a story for years. The "sideshow" is what spawned Trump's rise in the first place.

And a Trump victory wouldn't eliminate the "sideshow," just put a Trumpish spin on a "revolution" made for TV

Trump isn't going to win. His epic moral flaws have doomed his chances. But people's disgust with corrupt politicians (Hillary is Exhibit A) isn't going to go away.

Trump has been a godsend.

No more party partisanship. No more selling out to labels like conservative and words like Republican.

Now, reps gotta vote their conscience...if they have one.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a godsend.

Foul-mouth. Questionable handling of classifieds. Other stuff...

You might have ALWAYS voted Democrat, or lived with a liberal label until now.

If your soul won't agree with HRC and you won't be coerced/forced/marginalized/demonized or otherwise faded; what are you gonna do?

Me? I praise God for each flawed candidate.

I am not at all convinced that HRC was joking when she said she wanted to "drone this guy".

I'm not a fan of either HRC or Trump and it is obvious that Clinton will be the new President but also think she will be a one term President. That she might want that and that the Democrats will pick a less flawed candidate or a new candidate will run against her in the primary.

The Republicans face a more demanding problem the Trump rump is basically unsophisticated, racist and isolationist. This may also be the death knell for the Christian right with a split with many high profile surrogates and the downstream spokesmen. Twill be educated white Republicans and Independents will be drifting to the better candidates in either party. A huge blow to the Trump campaign will be Iraq by election day ISIS will be destroyed and the only reason that they will be a issue will be Syria. Trump kissing Putin and Assad and condoning the attacks on non ISIS players will put a spotlight on his hypocrisy.

Interesting election from outsiders unfortunately a amusement rather than a battle of sound policy and positions.

As long as we're talking zany conspiracy theories, anyone else believe that Chelsea Clinton's father is really Webb Hubbell?

I don't care. Breaking News, politician are sleazy liars and corrupt. Awesome, I have in writing what I've known for years. You'd find the same thing if you hacked any campaign. So unless those emails contain something akin to a murder plot or criminal issues. I will continue not to care

I do care about having a sexual predator running for president. 15yr/old girls. Wow.

I can't find a single credible poll that says that Trump won last Sunday's debate. In fact, all the polls I've seen say just the opposite. Yet, the Donald keeps saying that "every" poll shows he won the debate. The guy is absolutely delusional.

I think he's cementing his brand in the minds of this new market of consumers (his base) for years to come. Look for Trump boots, golf clubs, jeans, wine, point and shoot video games, condoms, Trump Taj Mahal home version, etc. to be sold exclusively at Walmart. I always said this was all about branding.

I'm hoping Trump buys the Wizards. How sick would that be.

With today being Yom Kippur, it's good that Trump isn't Jewish. It's a day to repent for all your sins for the year. Can you imagine if he had to keep track of every sin for a whole year... and apologize for all of them in one day - without making excuses and blaming someone else?

It is a given that if you run for political office that many of the skeletons in your closet will become public. Did Trump really think this stuff wouldn't come out?
