That might not actually mean anything substantive, but when it all comes down to it, to paraphrase Walter Sobchak, the wall is not the issue here. The issue is that we're strong, they're weak, and we can say the vilest things about them until the end of time and still force them to do what we want them to do. That fact has not changed, wall or no wall.

    Some pretty interesting information going on about back channeling between the NY FBI office and the Trump Campaign, which is disturbing to say the least.

    Meanwhile, on Earth, one candidate has repeatedly deleted thousands of e-mails despite court orders telling them not to.... and that candidate is Donald J Trump.

    Is this what passes for intellectual conversation these days? Vague insults? If you have anything worth discussing then have at it, if you came here to just spread insults then move along.

This situation should have been ideal for Trump. Yet, over the past year, he have trailed behind her by a relative large margin.

    Because I might be stupid, but trailing between 1.5 or 2% behind is not ''crushing''. It's not even ''winning''.
    Because they believe that there is this huge segment of embarrassed Trump supporters who don't tell pollsters they support Trump but they really do. (I'm serious)

    In other words, a whole lot of wishful thinking.

    Don't hate the player, hate the game! Does that work here? I'll go with that...

    Nice, thanks. Also saw an article related to this in Vanity Fair a bit ago (thanks Chelly...), need to give them both a read tonight.

    They should be embarrassed, if you can't tell friends and family that you want to vote for someone that isn't a good thing. Not to mention this never happens but it is a buzzword made up in a think tank to make Trump supporters think they have a chance because the last thing you want is to have people feeling they don't have a chance or they may not vote.

    I kind of agree with it, but less wishful thinking, more pessimistic. It really depends on what question is asked. In this election, unlike any I can think of, if the question is 'who in your opinion is the better candidate' might have a different answer than 'who are you voting for'. I don't think polling reflects the 'watch the world burn' side of Trump's support. On these forums, if you have a rational discussion with someone supporting Trump, the inevitable result seems to be... Hillary is a better player, but Trump changes the game... they want to hurt the country to make it submit to their vision of change... I call it the spoiled brat effect or political purple nurple, where Trump's point is to twist your nipples until you submit... with Trump, that might actually mean litteraly...

    Well, they already have the connection with the fake Sputnik story (literally Russian propaganda) that Trump read to his cheering supporters.

    Wondering if this is a riff off of that or if they've found any other links...this whole election has been so wild and the last days are getting even nuttier. I want to get off this ride already : (

    Is it? You tell us. You seem to be the most intelligible person here, at least act like it.

    Trump has said he has a relationship with Putin. I don't understand how a few years later, him questioning the meaning of the word relationship, should require further evidence of a connection. In other words...
