A new worry for Clinton: Trump’s struggles may depress Democratic voter turnout

Without enough popular support, Clinton would enter the White House lacking the political capital she would need to drive through her agenda. In the worst-case scenario it could cost her the presidency if Republicans turn out in big numbers on November 8.

Clinton, the Democratic nominee, has spent much of her campaign sounding the alarm over the prospect of a President Trump.

They are desperate. Watch for the another DEMOCRAT clarion call to union workers and their base.

They are already starting to spin excuses for her loss. This lame, fabricated excuse can be described as “over-confidence,” when in fact it’s simply lack of support.

She stopped running for president long ago.

She is running to stay out of jail.

Even if she squeaks in with only 43% like the other Clinton did, she’ll face one of two situations:

1) A Dem-controlled congress that will give her everything she wants.

2) A GOP-controlled congress that will give her everything she wants.

Rigging the polls as hard as they could very likely kill them on election day. Expect everything to tighten way up right before then.

Hillary’s agenda is simple—loot the Treasury and fill her foreign bank accounts to the max.

That is her domestic policy and her foreign policy.

P.S. Harass and if necessary murder anyone who gets in her way.

Thanks for playing.

Hahahahaha....so Trump’s pretend struggles are going to hurt Hillary?

Hillary’s problem is that she’s a piece of zhit and even the flies know it.
