One thing different in this cycle, is that our side is unifying.

Unlike the past when many of us would be saying: I’m staying home if they don’t ........

There’s a lot not to like with Trump. Abortion used to be a huge deal breaker, for example. Gay rights, another.

But we are unifying because the alternative is well:

Terrifying

Your use (correct use) of “lost all connection to reality” and “insane” conjure up an image of that important historical figure, King George III.

(I know Hamilton is not popular around here...and that’s ok...but you gotta admit...this song sounds like hilary and the entire media singing together....especially, “when you’re gone! I’ll go mad!) :) :)

Sometimes good art contains great truths that transcend the banal political views of its creators.....

I see a very tight race that will be decided in a few counties of a few swing states.

Yes, and absolutely nothing is more dangerous than a cornered, frightened animal. I suspect they will try just about ANYTHING at this point.

Pretty obvious the mainstream media, and many in the nation, are losing it.

You know, I NEVER believed that Trump was trailing by double digits (as the media told us - non-stop - for a month). Seeing their full-fledged panic now simply confirms my suspicions. When this race is over, and Trump has won, I’m going to make personal calls to several major media outlets, letting them know how I feel about their biased reporting. They won’t care but it’ll make me feel like I did my part.

If we were to be attacked by an enemy, the media and half of the nation would be arguing as to why we would need to side with the enemy for the good of the country.

Good analogy.

Hillary Clinton thinks she can use the William McKinley 1896 "playbook" to get her elected. Only one problem: we're in 2016, and people expect their Presidential candidates to be out in public doing rallies and meet and greets all the time, especially starting this weekend.

By avoiding public rallies, people are going to start asking lots of questions about just how hale she is--and the MSM is in panic mode when they cancelled Dr. Drew's show on HLN and just dismissed a Huffington Post writer for daring to ask about Hillary's health.

No one watches TV anymore only Older people

They get news were ever good or bad

I’m dumping cable this coming January

I am one of the older people

Newspapers are done and dying as the old people die

Went for a walk this morning and saw two newspapers

Have not read a newspaper in twenty years

There is a solid core of Dems who will vote for the nominee, regardless. Recall in 2004, the most dull nominee in the history of nominees almost beat out GWBush. Kerry's list of accomplishments was about as weak as Hillary Clinton's.

This time, there is the ‘Trump factor’. The Media and opposition [Dems and GOPestablishment] have been trying since June of 2015 to figure out what it is. Massive rallies compared to Clinton who can't even fill a small-school gymnasium.

Does that mean anything? Maybe yes. Maybe no. In 2012, Obama seemed to be getting about 1/2 of less of the massive support he got in 2008. He couldn't even fill a college gymnasium. Yet, when the votes were counted, he got enough to leave Romney in the Electoral count dust.

If the pollsters are correct, 2016 is shaping up to be a squeaker reminiscent of 2000. If the pollsters are wrong, it could be the biggest blowout since Reagan-Carter.

[I do hope for the latter. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to hear Wolf Blitzer, shades of the 2010 mid-term, say ‘the Democrat is taking a shellacking.’]

There is a Freeper who worked in media for years. A few weeks ago she posted that the media companies rig these polls to show a close race because the illusion of a close race stimulates the candidates to purchase ad time. I know many of us have posited that theory over the years, but she said it is a certainty. She further said the only polls to pay any attention to are the ones appearing a week or two before the election since the media companies don't want to lose whatever credibility they still have. I wish I could find the post.

Beware of a rigged election. Electronic ballots are ephemeral (like Hillary’s emails) and too easily manipulated. Paper ballot fraud is harder to accomplish and conceal.

They are trying to trigger an outburst from Trump by calling him names. They keep going lower and lower trying to get a reaction. He is playing them like a fiddle.

If this were a fair contest he would win in a landslide. The political class, the media, and the alt aristocracy is aligned against him.

They are so desperate that they are even making up lies, knowing full well that those are lies.

Radio talkshow host Phil Valentine described their modus operandi several weeks ago:

Remember 'hands up, don't shoot'? An outright fabrication that is still getting traction in the media and radicalized elements of society.

There have been at least 3 outright lie stories the media have circulated since the conventions.

Meanwhile, they are giving all kinds of cover for Hillary, as she has to take several days off to recuperate even from small venue campaign stops.
