Face it, folks. Trump is going to win this election. He's actually leading in the polls now and has all the momentum going into the final stretch. Maybe if the Democratic Party wouldn't have rigged this and put up a corrupt, sickly person as their nominee they would have a chance. The people on here still shilling for Hillary should feel embarrassed. At least Bernie would've been a legitimate candidate without all of this baggage.
I wouldn't call this good news. Just a couple weeks ago, liberals were singing a double digit defeat. The bad news for Hillary is Trump is starting to do what he should have done back in June....he is actually trying instead of alienating everyone. At this point, I am hoping Hillary wins but has to resign shortly after and let Kaine run as president.
Trump's still not shown any ability to get past his ceiling in polling. Clinton got a typical post-convention bounce, but I would imagine that many anti-Trump Republicans are supporting Johnson or are "undecided" in polls. As we all know, national polls are not a true barometer in presidential campaigns. Clinton may have recently lost a few national percentage points, but she hasn't lost ground in states that get her to 270. All the while, Trump continues to campaign in states that aren't up for grabs and doesn't have the same infrastructure as Clinton. Those things matter and he's still running his campaign like he's on a post-election book tour instead of in the thick of things.
Nationally, it looks close at this point. Electoral votes, and it looks like Trump is getting slaughtered. He's not up in any of the traditional battleground states, and has turned some traditional Republican states into battleground states.
A quote from Mrs. Clinton. “I was taking a law school admissions test in a big classroom at Harvard. My friend and I were some of the only women in the room. I was feeling nervous. I was a senior in college. I wasn’t sure how well I’d do. And while we’re waiting for the exam to start, a group of men began to yell things like: ‘You don’t need to be here.’ And ‘There’s plenty else you can do.’ It turned into a real ‘pile on.’ One of them even said: ‘If you take my spot, I’ll get drafted, and I’ll go to Vietnam, and I'll die.’ And they weren’t kidding around. It was intense. It got very personal. But I couldn’t respond. I couldn’t afford to get distracted because I didn’t want to mess up the test. So I just kept looking down, hoping that the proctor would walk in the room. I know that I can be perceived as aloof or cold or unemotional. But I had to learn as a young woman to control my emotions. And that’s a hard path to walk. Because you need to protect yourself, you need to keep steady, but at the same time you don’t want to seem ‘walled off.’ And sometimes I think I come across more in the ‘walled off’ arena. And if I create that perception, then I take responsibility. I don’t view myself as cold or unemotional. And neither do my friends. And neither does my family. But if that sometimes is the perception I create, then I can’t blame people for thinking that.”
Hopefully this post will push us to a new page and away from the gigantic image distorting everything.
You can hate on Clinton all you want- and you can make up every excuse in the book to say that she's playing the victim card. But if you've worked with as many executive women as I have, and you hear the bull**** they've had to put up with, you'd know she is dead-on: “I’m not Barack Obama. I’m not Bill Clinton. Both of them carry themselves with a naturalness that is very appealing to audiences. But I’m married to one and I’ve worked for the other, so I know how hard they work at being natural. It’s not something they just dial in. They work and they practice what they’re going to say. It's not that they're trying to be somebody else. But it's hard work to present yourself in the best possible way. You have to communicate in a way that people say: ‘OK, I get her.’ And that can be more difficult for a woman. Because who are your models? If you want to run for the Senate, or run for the Presidency, most of your role models are going to be men. And what works for them won’t work for you. Women are seen through a different lens. It’s not bad. It’s just a fact. It’s really quite funny. I’ll go to these events and there will be men speaking before me, and they’ll be pounding the message, and screaming about how we need to win the election. And people will love it. And I want to do the same thing. Because I care about this stuff. But I’ve learned that I can’t be quite so passionate in my presentation. I love to wave my arms, but apparently that’s a little bit scary to people. And I can’t yell too much. It comes across as ‘too loud’ or ‘too shrill’ or ‘too this’ or ‘too that.’ Which is funny, because I’m always convinced that the people in the front row are loving it.”- Hillary Clinton
