I was in college at the time. So I was going out on what I thought were dates. Chris, I thought these were dates. These were not dates. She was actually reporting back to Fox News about me. She was reporting back about what I thought of her and about CNN and MSNBC and Fox. Because I was a reporter on the beat, they were actually spying on me that way. Now I didn't think that was a big deal at the time. I thought it was the way Fox operates. Fox is a political organization. But now we know they were actually sending out private investigators. They were tailing other reporters. "

Fun fact, Clinton is polling ahead in 10/11 of them.

You know how I know that Trump has truly lost?

The narrative. Nobody, even Die Hard Trumpers actually cling to Make America Great Again. Its a crocodile's promise and everyone knows it. Nobody is talking about how Truml is going to or even trying to improve the country.

But you know what people are talking about? Saving America FROM Trump. Even GOPers are on this narrative. Nobody is talking about saving America from Hillary because everybody knows she will be a good president and conduct her duties competantly. Even the aspects of the GOP that are currently jumping ship acknowledge her being competant. Her main issue is trustworthiness, not competancy. Not safety of America's future.

With Trumo his competancy is in question in such a way the majority of Americans actually fear his presidency. While Republicans hate Hillary that is not rooted in an existential fear for safety or fear of the future the tangerine Fuhrer would herald in. They hate her for her policy differences. They hate her because she is a threat to GOP political power and policy.

People fear Trump because he is viewed as incomoetant to the point of danger. And that common nationally held view of fear of all the danger that Trump represents and will bring is the death of his campaign. Those feelings toward Trump are more damning than questioning trust.


Though I am glad Trump is running because his campaign represents the destruction of the GOP on a national stage. The GOPs chickens have come home to roost and it will haunt them for generations.

Trump has brought not only the possibility of a DEM majority senate and maybe house and more importantly the supreme court having a liberal majority, but Trump has decimated the GOP's view and credibility in such a way that barting miracle the GOP will lose power ala the Whigs.

What I enjoy the most though is that Trump represents the dying gasp of Racist Whites and the alt-right. Never again will they be relevant. Especially the alt right, where the majority of the country when finally exposed to their ideology subsequentky reject it, will implode as their ideology will recede to the fringes and die as a joke. The general conservative psyche will collapse as it ALMOST did in 2012. Karl Roves meltdown will be dwarfed in comparison when Trump loses big on Nov. 8. And it will be glorious. It will be YUUUUUUGE

Oh I see the big league quote has already been used.

Alternative Trump QUOTE OF THE DAY

quote:

Trump was still toying with a presidential run at the time, telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews, "Can you imagine how controversial I'd be? You think about Clinton and the women. How about me and the women? Can you imagine?" When Matthews mentioned Lewinsky, Donald answered, "Yeah. They might like my women better too."

People have been acting like it's been long enough since the DNC to say that Clinton's bounce won't go away, but I don't agree.

I maintain that the "resting point" for the polls is somewhere around Clinton +4.

I'm not 100% in agreement with this anymore. State level polling is a little too strong. We're probably heading for something more in the 6 range.

One weekly tracker showing tightening doesn't jive with this week state level polling showing Missouri competitive and Clinton ahead in Georgia and NC
