It is now post-Labor Day. Trump is running a campaign that is not in full gear. Hillary is just shoveling dirt over her crimes against America, her sordid life, the Clinton Crime Family, the bribes from America’s enemies and so on.

Let the games begin......

Trump is all over the place, i mean he is going to high energy events... EVERYWHERE!

Hillary is making Bob Dole’s 1996 run look like Dole was on both meth and Coke....

Rank and file Dems are gonna be pissed when she loses and they realize it was because they didn’t pick the old but high energy horse known as Bernie sanders, heh heh

If you read through all the snarkiness in this article the author points out that Hillary’s advisers are finding ways for her to connect with the voters. It’s two months from the election and they’re admitting that Hillary is still having problems connecting with voters. Gee, I wonder why

I think the argument about taking the non-white vote for granted is going to help Trump. And the reality of a “hidden vote”. I can see why blacks and Hispanics will vote for Trump in private who are intimidated to say they support him. Similar to what happened with Brexit.

and Nixon could never get it down pat.

Some people complain that Trump isn’t spending enough on advertising. I disagree. He’s spending plenty - in jet fuel - and going directly to the people. And he gets free media coverage, such as it is.

But when the media skews, distorts and outright lies, there’s plenty of people who can call them on it, because they were there to see and hear it for themselves. And then they spread it around social media.

Trump has changed the game.

> shows Clinton making serious inroads into deep red states like Texas, Georgia and Arizona

Only if retards are voting for her and the so-called religious voters refuse to vote Trump because he is not “Conservative” enough.

>>>What Clinton is, in reality, is a complicated and paradoxical person who is resistant to political packaging. “She’s [not] looking at things in some crazy Lady Macbeth way,” Neera Tanden, one Clinton’s longest-tenured advisers, told me last week

Even while critiquing $hillary, they are flattering themselves. See? We appreciate complexity and the paradoxical.

Take it with a grain of salt, but FiveThirtyEight has the reverse scenario as more likely: that Trump could win the electoral vote while losing the popular vote.

The reason is that Trump is polling below typical levels for a Republican in the red states, e.g. GA is Trump+7, SC is Trump+5. But he is within striking distance of winning the battleground states such as FL, OH, PA, and even WI and MI.

The Electoral vote may be the easiest to manipulate without committing an obvious crime. There is no Constitutional or Federal requirement for the Electors to vote as they are mandated to vote. If say three were to die in unexplained accidents or by odd suicides the other Trump Electors might just figure the better part of valor is to change their votes to Clinton. If she wins that way then any state crimes the electors might have violated in the process will be moot.

“Trump still might not have any real policy plans”

1. Build the wall
2. End “catch and release.”
3. Create a deportation task force and focus on criminals in the country illegally
4. Defund sanctuary cities
5. Cancel President Obama’s executive actions
6. Extreme vetting. Block immigration from some nations
7. Force other countries to take back those whom the U.S. wants to deport
8. Get biometric visa tracking system fully in place
9. Strengthen E-Verify, block jobs for the undocumented
10. Limit legal immigration, lower it to “historic norms,” and set new caps

Yes, I do.

Electors are chosen on November 8. That's in 63 days.

So, the electoral vote count now stands at 0-0, where it will remain until the early morning hours of November 9.
