Scott Adams gives his opinion as to why Trump is rising relative to Clinton.
Candidate Risk Assessment

This is the most remarkable aspect of this election, IMO. We have a candidate who is deliberately provoking a military confrontation with the 2nd largest nuclear-armed power on the planet and with the exception of some tut-tutting by Katrina Van Den Heuval on Twitter, no one on the left seems to care in the slightest.
A very good article. Adams has had a lot of thoughtful things to offer for this election.
Trump is rising because people can see that Hillary is not trustworthy and not going to look out for them. She is more of the same and people want a change.
Many people may think Trump is an SOB but they have seen enough to know he is not “literately Hitler.”
Why would you spend the past 2 months consciously antagonizing a president who you'll have to sit down with once you're inaugurated.
There's no political constituency, outside of the Weekly Standard and Economist, which is clamoring for war with Russia. It's not even like her lies about Trump's 'racism,' which can be used theoretically to mine Hispanic votes.
She's doing this out of pure narcissism and/or stupidity.
FWIW, that's a reality check about Scott Adams.
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.
Moral of the story: don’t hate on someone when you agree on 99% of everything.
I'm not hating on him. I don't trust him.
That’s the most incoherent Scott Adams piece I’ve seen. Perhaps he should keep away from the “risk factor”, too.
Watching the WS
Hillary ad on Trump and women over and over
Nothing from Trump
What gives
