      Rasmussen is a (R) lean that has them out in front and then pushes the polls to pretty close to equal with everyone in the last week or two before the election.

        I can't fathom anyone predicting she's more likely to meltdown than Trump. She has a history of doing the complete opposite, Trump goes full rerun on nearly every question asked. I don't care for her but I believe she will solidify herself as infinitely more presidential than tDon in the debates.

            Suburban sprawl and smaller (whiter) cities is where most of the uptick will be, and that's not a bad thing -- it is after all where people live. And there are plenty of middle pop density places which get no attention now but which would if we went to straight vote: Cheyenne, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Anchorage, Boise are all ignored now because their states are locks. All of a sudden they'd become very interesting targets with lots of people up for grabs for both parties.

There's not much you can do to combat such a situation, should she allow it to happen.
                  Right but it took 8 hours to get that 1 moment...you do know how long a debate usually goes right? Not to mention it took an entire committee asking the same ridiculous questions over and over again to make it happen. While the chances arent zero that will happen I would say it is 1:1000. It is an apples and oranges comparison they dont even parallel and that is what the point is.

                    That doesn't really matter -- the Echo Chamber will invent a moment. They take some gesture or expression or remark and put it on psycho loop and just pull a narrative out of their butt. Do you really think reality is going to stop those guys?

                    This is their last chance to save all those BS policies they've managed to foist on the country for the last 36 years. It could be the last chance to save corporate bribery under Buckley v. Valeo. Short of flat out stealing it, this is their best chance to influence the election.

                        They can invent all they want to...it isnt working and it wont going forward. No one has bought any of this crap for months because Drumpf cant get out of his own way. Preaching to the choir isnt going to win them the election the numbers have been proving that for months. The only people buying it are the people in the Echo Chamber no one who breathes normal air is taking the bait.

                        Put aside your fear for a second and look at the facts...for all of 2016 the Echo Chamber has been using BS clips and ****ed near outright lies to try and take The Shrill down. Sure it works for a nanosecond then she goes right back up. All the while the person they are trying to prop up can barely move the needle even in the polls that are biased towards him. Hell every time they find the ALL NEW CLINTON SCANDAL the nimrod cant even stand not being in the spotlight so he has to do something just dumb enough to let her off the hook.

                        This isnt about whether they make her look like a loon...they can have fun making up funny little clips and pretending they mean something. The point is she isnt going to crack under the pressure like North Dakota Boy thinks she will. As long as she doesnt, no one in the real world is going to care about whatever manufactured controversy Faux and Rush come up with...just like they didnt with Obama and they havent with Hillary since she owned the committee during the farce of an investigation.

                          I told you...Drumpf was trolling for attention. I cant believe his staff lets him pull this crap.

                              Do I think Trump can drive her there? Nope. But he'll try.

                                LOL. Trump's not even pretending. He hired David Bossie as D/CM. Bossie is the "dirt guy" who has specialized on the Clintons all the way back to Whitewater. This is the equivalent of hiring the "I'm not saying it's aliens" dude as a special investigator of Area 51.
