I would donate to Hillary's campaign if she trolled him about his tiny hands

She do it artfully and use the word "shorthanded" in an appropriate context, but Trump and his followers would be too obtuse to pick it up.

Strike that. She could use "shorthanded" innocently, and Trump is so insecure and paranoid he'd go middle school on her.

This just in from Crazytown.

"Godly, moral" Donald Trump. You know, the not-quite-a billionaire who's scammed numerous former business associates, used undocumented Polish labor in at least part of the construction of Trump Tower, possibly has ties to the mob, is a serial tax evader, and has been through 3 wives (plus how ever many other side women). Oh, and the guy whose favorite Bible quote is "an eye for an eye". Yes, that godly, moral man.

Sounds about right. GA might've flipped for another candidate vs. Trump, but they won't for the Shrill.

Oh that's just silly. Everyone loves her.

These conspiracy things pi* me off. I read them, and think, "Are you that f*ing stupid?" (and this goes for both sides, btw)

Yes. Yes, they are.

It's very telling that the only church leader he goes to see over there is a ducking "prosperity" preacher.

Nothing new under the sun as far as sartorial conspiracy.

While that poll is disturbing, he is also trailing in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia. To win he needs to win most if not all of those states. The Electoral College is killing him right now which is why she is still 71% to win on 538.

That said if Hillary doesnt want to choke she needs to become visible again. When she speaks her numbers go up.

edit to add: The Left should be out in full force next week pumping up the base. While this is only one poll it is time to get back into the fight and go full force until the debates. Obama, Warren and Clinton should be on TV every day talking up policy and revving up the middle/Progressives. Right now the only thing out there is email scandals and Drumpf rhetoric they need to shift the focus back to why she is better and why Drumpf is a racist *****.

It's apparent that the lead has narrowed not because Trump is rising in the polls. We all know his support is limited to those who harbor dark thoughts and the mentally infirm. Clinton's support has wavered severely in the last 2 weeks and that is the only factor in this being closer than it should be.

I think it is ironic that the only reason Trump is anywhere near close in the polls is because the democrats nominated the weakest candidate in terms of personal popularity and favorability in my lifetime by a country mile, and the only reason the republicans aren't going to have a 1984 type landslide is they nominated the most unqualified and dangerous candidate a major party has ever chosen, and fortunately we are not yet a country where the majority are knuckle dragging, rebel flag waiving, 88 tat sporting d ou ch e bags.

It appears as if Clinton is placing the rest of her eggs in the debate baskets. While Trump has virtually no chance of increasing his support via the debate route (as Romney briefly did 4 years ago), I still think Clinton is mistaken if she thinks that will be enough. Her potential to up her support coming out of the debates is certainly strong, but I wish she was out pounding it like she did in the 2 weeks immediately following the convention, which by most accounts was a smashing success for her.
