And apparently the Trump campaign may have had a server to communicate to Russia. That about right?

I will die laughing if the October (November?) surprise is the Clinton campaign leaking e-mails from Trump's private server that shows Trump is a paid Russian stooge. That's the kind of turnabout that could secure the House

I pity the FSB agent(s) who had to have sex on tape with Donald, I hope at least she was paid well.

Both sides will probably unleash whatever scum they have left in their drawers to draw attention from the opponent's leaks. It would have to be something extremely conclusive stuff to change any voter's minds at this point, though, anonymous sources making vague claims about Trump's Russian connections are unlikely to harm him among his supporters when he's openly told them that USA should collaborate with Russia in Syria.

Clinton has hinted that she uses an alternate method of communication with Kaine. Given her nerdiness and fondness of spy novels, I like to imagine it's an Enigma Machine.

The last week at work I got a call from a law firm then right afterwards went to a place for lunch that I never have been to before. Clearly I'm up to something...

Yeah and then the Trump-Russia stuff started leaking.


It is looking like someone is trying to 'balance the books' by leaking anti-Trump from the FBI files.

There's a really good chance they won't. We don't really know. It depends on what, if any, enthusiasm damage is done. Part of the reason it seemed likely was decreased Trump enthusiasm and increased Democratic enthusiasm, which the EMAILEMAILEMAIL thing hurts.

Honestly, it was probably over before the email stuff came out. Bayh is a complete gently caress up, and the often praised difference in ground games that was supposed to make up a few points and carry the Senate candidates who are running behind Hillary in their states seems to be over hyped. There are also huge amounts of GOP donor money flowing into these races at the last minute, so barring an Access Hollywood tape x 1000 coming out tomorrow, make your peace with a Republican senate and 4-4 SC.

I'm still not 100% convinced they can get away with a 4-4 SC for years if we don't take the Senate. The SC is already avoiding certain cases specifically because it doesn't want to rule when it'll deadlock 4-4 and I have to imagine the Justices will get cross eventually.

Remember: He eagerly accused Clinton of being Putin's puppet in a totally bizarre nonsequitar.

That's all the confirmation I need that he's Putin's guy.
