Julian Assange says more is coming---that more Wikileaks will be emerging that would lead to Cankles' indictment.
Well, we know that won't happen, at least not for several months. But Assange's comment should alert everyone on both sides that the revolution we thought was brewing? It's brewed. It has achieved critical mass. And you see it in the polls.
Over the weekend, not only does CNN have Trump now at a 5-point lead, but if the election is head to head, Trump is at 48%. Given what are (as we well know) significant sampling biases in these polls---which I won't review again---it's very likely Trump is over 50 in this and other polls. He topped 50 in OAN yesterday. Freeper "Useless Future Eater" has deconstructed the rolling weekly USC poll that shows Trump with a 4-point lead . . . but last night it hit 47-37!
You can bet the media will be THRILLED to cover the Wikileaks so they don't have to talk about these polling trends. These are not just "bad polls" for Cankles: they are total disasters, showing her base starting to crumble (forget about the Indies, whom she lost a month ago). It also means that after the RNC, Trump has made his case: people see him as trustworthy.
But what all this means, in my estimation, is that Trump, like a good artilleryman, began softening up the ground two or three months ago with his "Crooked Hillary" characterization. This was perfectly apt, clever, and above all, 100% accurate. Now comes the invasion, in this case, by Wikileaks. This is a drumbeat of proof of Trump's Crooked Hillary mantra.
It is brilliant. Trump has done to the Dems and the media what they had done to countless Republicans for decades: tar and feather them in advance so that the slightest misstep becomes a fatal weakness. But of course, the DNC leaks were a wee bit more than a "slight misstep"---it was thoroughgoing corruption and collusion with the media from bottom to top. If you're "lyin' Ted," all it took was one statement even remotely estranged from the truth for voters to say, "Yeah, that guy does lie" and with "Crooked Hillary," all it took was a few leaks for people to go, "Trump is right." In fact, his "dishonest media" comments months ago are, like "lyin' Ted" and "Crooked Hillary" have already framed the picture for people to see. Wiki only turns the lights on brighter.
This is all the more delicious because the media is forced to cover, and apologize for, and deflect from, it's own complicit corruption. When Trump says "Hillary Should Resign," he can also point to (as he has done) the "dishonest media" and now, for the first time ever, people say, "He may have something there."
As if all this wasn't bad enough, Cankles has already been beaten on two big issues, crime and terrorism (really, the same issue in many ways). By not saying "Radical Islamic Terrorism" she is stuck for the next 3 months explaining why she won't say that. And as we know, sadly, there will be attack after attack coming in the next three months. The crocodiles have found their feeding grounds, and won't go away until killed. So there is no hope whatsoever Cankles can win on this issue, and sadly we can expect more cop attacks as long as the Moslem-in-Chief continues cop-bashing. Cankles can't escape that either.
I predicted a couple of months ago Trump would win big, but not a "landslide" which needs to include either CA or NY. Now, I'm not sure it won't be a landslide. I also thought the popular vote would be a 2% difference. It's going to be much bigger. Given the presence of 3rd and 4th parties that will take votes, I am now projecting that Cankles will barely get 40%, Trump over 50%, and the other people split the difference. Right now, even NY doesn't look entirely out of reach. Some worried the "neverTrumpers" would deny Trump an electoral victory. Now, it's quite the opposite: the "NeverCankles" voters may out of spite deny her even "safe spaces" like CA, CT, and NY. (When you see polls with Trump down only four in CT, or only 12 in NY, you know this is indeed a revolution).
There is one concern, though, and it isn't that the Dems will replace Cankles (Benie would have his own massive problems, as would anyone else stuck in at this late moment). That concern is Bill Clinton's health. In my view, the ONLY thing that can save Cankles is the demise of the ill former president, which would generate enormous sympathy for her. We all need to pray for the continued health and well being of Slick. While alive, he ensures Cankles will never be president. Hope he has a food taster.

CRY HAVOC, and let slip the dogs of war!
It’s okay. I just heard on the radio the FBI is investigating. They’ll get to the bottom of it and make sure the people who need to be prosecuted are identified. They are really good at this e-mail stuff. *Snort*
Good points.
I’m more concerned for Trump’s safety.
Hope they’re vetting his security folks very, very well.
October Demise? er..Surprise?
NOT NY Times and WaPo - they were implicated as the corrupt Democrat-left media shills they are.
You are, for now, my favorite writer on the planet Earth.
I don’t agree that Bill’s death before the elections would help Hillary. A lot of Hillary voters are voting for a third Bill Clinton term. Without him, they won’t vote for Hillary.
OK, Trump has mojo. He needs to be laser-locked on Cankles. Forget about Cruz and Kasich, they are yesterday’s news (unless they do something stupid like attack Trump in public).
Trump has the best political intelligence network ever. I strongly suspect he has moles in the DNC and Hillary’s campaign. He’s smart, but nobody has been able to not only predict, but create the future the way he has.
He knows in advance what’s coming and he sets himself up to take advantage.
Excellent analysts, many thanks!
And thanks to freeper “future useless eater”
That is a really good point I had not thought of.
It is uncanny how he has been one step ahead, even when it comes to knowing which little phrase will best work on the opponents.
Using the military analogy, if Trump is using his artillery placed to the rear of his main force, the Wikileaks charge is at the flank by cavalry not even under Trump’s command. The charge is “out of the blue”
Trump still has his main force intact and in line for battle and the coming assault. What a break, Hillary’s flank is being rolled up during the dog days of August. The main assault to begin after Labor day when folks really start paying attention will be devastating.
(it’s all very clear in my mind any way)
She is not as liked as her husband is. I am just surprised that they are still together after all these years, really surprised.
I would agree on Cruz, that further diddling with him is counterproductive.
I differ on Kay-sick. He is desperate and ambitious. He has seen his only shot at a higher office go up in smoke. He needs to be sheep-prodded into line, so Trump’s threats to him have merit.
The snark factor against Trump on social media sites seems to be at a higher level the last couple of days—No doubt trying to distract from the many unpleasant revelations in the DNC e-mail dump.
I think just the opposite. The Wiki documents are smoking gun proof that the media has been working hand in hand with Hillary and the DNC - to the point of letting the dems vet or even write their stories and also working together on misleading questions to skew the polls. CNN was letting the Hillary team submit the questions to be given in on air interviews. These e-mails are the last thing the media wants to cover. We will be seeing the rats jumping the sinking ship in droves.
I wonder how Julian Assange benefits by taking down the ‘Beast ...
You have not factored in the voter fraud which will be at max this election. The establishment will not go quietly.
