Lots of observers deplored Donald's first debate performance....tepid responses, issues left on the table.

Day or two later, the Trump campaign issued a statement saying they had a three-debate strategy and that the first debate fit the strategy.

Don't know if the Trump video had anything to do with it...but the second debate was a blockbuster.

Can hadly sit still for the third debate. Can you?

The Clintons know, know that if they don't win, they lose money, power, influence, and even their freedom. The chances of them ending up in prison is 80% or more. Two lifetimes of skeletons and scandals are finally catching up with them.

I urge Donald to have a election night strategy....b/c the Clintons are ready to pounce and grab the election....even if the returns favor Donald.

A relative, who travels to different states for work every week, keeps saying he has not spoken to one person who is voting for Hellary. Not one person. He’s been saying this for months.

I haven’t seen one Hellary sign around here, not even the guy down the road who usually has a large billboard type RAT sign up. But then this is Texas so that’s no a gauge to the rest of the country.

We all saw the online after debate polls with Trump wiping the floor with her... except CNN and NBC’s spin. Sure, the msm lies but if Trump gains a point, she supposedly gains two. This is the first time I’ve not been confident.

Body double, happy juice, alien or robot.

I don’t trust any polling right now. Rasmussen has always seemed to favor republicans slightly, yet they usually do worse than he projects.
I personally think it’s close to even with a slight advantage to her. It’s all about turnout and smart, strategic campaigning.
Focus on Ohio, Florida, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. Maybe some work in western Virginia, Wisconsin and in Colorado to keep her concerned.
I really feel like he has a legitimate shot in Pennsylvania if he keeps working the western part of the state and can calm enough eastern state suburban moms.

Sort of went AWOL for the weekend to come back to this disaster. How they hell do the Clintons get a hold of these things? Personally, I really don't give a damn if Trump ate kittens. WTF does that have to do with policy in recovering the economy? But the Clintons know THIS does for some reason matter to voters and were willing to get ugly. Obviously focusing on policy is a losing strategy.
