Trump backers realize they’ve been played as WikiLeaks fails to deliver October surprise

LONDON — The expectations were breathless.

For weeks, backers of Republican nominee Donald Trump have hyped the tantalizing possibility that the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks was on the verge of publishing a set of documents that would doom Hillary Clinton’s chances in November.

I will not grow complacent in my confidence of Trump's chances, but these folks are nuts. I posted a similar article earlier. What are they trying to do here? In this cycle there just aren't enough undecideds to be influenced by their blatant bias..

The Liberals better be careful. When they start acting smug, they usually get slammed. We've still got 30 days before the electrion.

Remember the DWI story the weekend before the election. It almost cost Bush the presidency.

A lot can happen up until the last week.

I am not going to click through and read that article.

But what you excerpted is objectively true.

I am sure that this article exagerates and distorts. And it was only published as a Nyah Nyah Nyah on their part.

Yet it is absolutely true that Roger Stone stated that today Hillary’s campaign would be over.

“Rahm Emanuel: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." The Compost will never miss an opportunity to demoralize, demean, and skew the news and “truth” in their favor. Nonsense. Never believe what these useful idiots say, good, bad or indifferent. Their motto will never let the truth get in the way of their rabid commie agenda. FU Compost, and all your useful idiot horses.

Here you go, archived version- http://archive.is/tJlhX

I wish we could start linking archived versions of Washington Compost, NY Slimes, and other stories. This way they’d get no hits.

If you were trying to influence an election with a timed information release, why would you do it now? Our idiotic electorate can barely remember what happened 2 days ago let alone a month ago.

“For weeks, backers of Republican nominee Donald Trump have hyped the tantalizing possibility”

Interesting that WaPo is all torqued about Trump backers “hyping” this, because exactly what powerful media channels do we having for said “hyping” that WaPo is worrying about? You don’t suppose WaPo is worried about lil ol’ websites like FR do you?

Think of her unhinged insanity that she sought guidance on the feasibility of a drone attack on an Australian citizen living in an Ecuadorian embassy. Unreal.

The last four paragraphs were telling:

But perhaps those waiting for an October surprise shouldn’t lose all hope just yet. Or at least, that was the message from Assange, who spoke via video link from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, where he’s been holed up for the past four years as Swedish authorities seek his extradition on sexual assault charges.

He promised to reveal documents every week for the next 10. He said some will have a direct bearing on the U.S. election.

“We think they’re significant,” he coyly informed his worldwide audience.

But what will they reveal? And when will they come? Assange wouldn’t say.

The WP is a bit premature in its gloating. Assange will deliver. The article fails to portray what Assange actually said. Assange said he will release all the election material prior to November 8 and that the first release will take place this week. Let's see what happens between now and Sunday.

The democrats are being so played by a candidate that is half dead and refuses to campaign. She rigged the system, picked an imbecilic VP, has no plan and insults American citizens.

And she demands that you all in the MSM ignore her scandals, gush about her nonexistent accomplishments and attack Trump.

It must really suck to be so played you stupid serfs.

Projection by the comPost. I have always maintained that there is PLENTY reason to oppose Hitlery WITHOUT needing new Wikileaks revelations.

It is possible that Assange is smart enough to realize that the Hurricane Mathew is likely to dominate the news cycle for the next couple of days. Maybe holding on to what they have got until this dies down is just a good idea. I like that WikiLeaks has said they are planning on trickling this out for maximum effect over the next ten weeks.

Kaine did more last night to help Trump than Wikileaks..

Think about it... Hillary is unlikable and untrustworthy.

Did Kaine help change peoples perception of Hillary as someone they can TRUST or LIKE?

No. In fact just the opposite. We discovered that Hillary selected a rude & obnoxious interrupter. This is a reflection of her poor judgement. Should Hillary suffer a devastating health problem NOBODY wants someone like Tim Kaine to be President.
