You know - GOP establishment types, so-called conservative pundits and of course the MSM.

“There are people like that but most go to whoever looks good to them.”

Yes, and they’ll be waffling back and forth depending on what the latest “breaking news” is.

The undecided should be called the unprincipled - since they have no firm principles to guide them. They sift through minutiae and get inundated with all the microfacts and opinions and become so overwhelmed that they don’t know up from down.

I actually know a few people like that.

“Our next president will either be an offensive, rich, divisive, bigot with a bad haircut or Donald Trump. #Trump #Clinton— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) September 12, 2016”

Great quote!

[Garth Tater]

Oh, I know what he's saying. His remarks didn't "fly over my head." I'm just saying that he's telling enough truth and supporting Trump just enough that he can slip his un-truths in that give cover to Hillary's lies without being immediately outed as a Hillary supporter.

Hillary's collapse on Sunday was NOT the result of a minor illness and Mr Adams knows this.

[Jeff Chandler]

Load of crap.

[pepsionice]

Adams did an interview back in November of last year and noted all of Trump’s features. He even noted that Trump had used tactics common in the hypnotist field. Trump’s message and the method of delivery....all aimed at the guy on the street, not the elite intellectual type.

I think Adam’s view is that from a leadership prospective...you would be getting a CEO as president, not a politician. There are good CEOs and bad CEOs....but Trump appears to have some of the finer qualities.

[goldstategop]

Trump is comfortable around ordinary people.

Hillary hobnobs with the elite in the Hamptons.

Its an election of contrasts.

Adams has said he is a Hillary supporter because he is afraid of being killed by his fellow Californians if he doesn't support the witch. That is in no way a Trump supporter and it also makes him a piss-poor American.

You do realize that outside of FR sarcasm doesn't have a /s tag? Adams hasn't actually ever said he supports Trump, or Hillary, just that Trump will win. When anti-Trump lefties were attacking Trump supporters and he started receiving death threats, he wrote a column stating that he was officially declaring his support for Hillary because it's becoming too dangerous to say anything else. That's very blatant sarcasm.

[M1911A1]

Sarcasm seems to be unrecognizable this election season.

Regardless, Adams is right when he says Hillary is toast.

[Garth Tater]

Adams hasn't actually ever said he supports ... Hillary

...he wrote a column stating that he was officially declaring his support for Hillary because it's becoming too dangerous to say anything else. That's very blatant sarcasm.

No, I don't think it is. Sarcasm is a form of humor. A line delivered to an audience; a one time thing. If he was sarcastically saying that he supports Hillary because he is afraid his fellow Californians will kill him if he doesn't then why has he never come out and supported Trump in any other times or places where he wasn't trying to be funny? He has had plenty of opportunities to make his real feelings known but you believe he only one time stated his opinion in this matter and he stated it sarcastically? Nah, I don't believe that. I really think he's afraid to make his opinion known and you're mistaking his fearful utterance as sarcasm.

[Hugin]

He doesn’t have to be a Trump supporter to be sarcastic about supporting Hillary. It’s quite possible to be a supporter of neither, but I do think he prefers Trump.

In his last blog post Adams twice provided cover for Hillary's second lie about her fall being caused by weakness due to pneumonia. First he said:

But then Clinton collapsed with some sort of health problem – perhaps pneumonia – at the 9-11 anniversary event.

I read Mr Adams' blog and find him to be a smart, knowledgeable man. "perhaps pneumonia" is a lie and everyone that has seen the video of her seizure and collapse at the 9/11 Memorial Service knows this. Mr Adams is providing cover to Hillary's lie by telling his readers that there is a chance she is not lying and the collapse was caused by pneumonia. There is no chance Hillary is not lying about pneumonia being the cause and Mr Adams knows this.

He repeated this covering action later in the post when he said:

On one hand, we don’t think anyone should be penalized for a minor illness. And we don’t wish harm on anyone. Our rational minds want to NOT care that Clinton collapsed on the 9-11 anniversary. That’s who we are. We’re rational people who can put stuff like this in context.

The collapse was NOT caused by a "minor illness," i.e. pneumonia (the Clinton campaign's second lie after dehydration and heat exhaustion.) She has been suffering from a neurological problem for several years now and Mr Adams is providing cover for Hillary's attempts to cover up this fact. He is not a Trump supporter and he has not simply not taken either side, he is a stealth Hillary supporter and a very good one. Most faux-journalist and opinion makers are very easy to see through. Not so with Mr Adams. He is very good at what he does (as he tells you many, many times in his blog.)

I dunno, I kind of like the “sneeze fart” line better

[Scooter100]

Scott Adams wants to sell as many books and Dilbert gear as he can. He has to play on the fence, otherwise he loses half his market. He’s a humorist/cartoonist’s version of a major corporate CEO who donates 10k to both political parties. He wants his cake.....and he wants his cake.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Ceteris parabus, we could see people skeptical about the pneumonia explanation (but too “decent” to fly their skepticism high) go with the deplorables comment to back up their stated reason to hate Hillary. Fake because, rationalization, whatever. This does NOT include freepers, who are dedicated for different reason. This is the Joe Schmoe who barely knows the two candidates apart and wants a reason to choose one over the other.

Scott is not woofing, I believe; he has seen this in corporate America (and I’ve seen it there too having faced off with it in perhaps over-eager idealism).

[freeandfreezing]

Are you from Rio Linda?

[Bryanw92]

>>3. Undecideds – who don’t care about stuff like this. That’s why they are undecided. And most of them probably have decided. They just don’t want to admit it

At this point, an Undecided is a person who is too stupid to be allowed to vote, drive, operate heavy machinery, or handle power tools.

This election isn’t about “who will build better roads”. It’s about what kind of nation do we want to be in the future: the America that worked for 200 years or a Marxist hellhole where everything is free....or would be free if it was on the shelves.

[Atomic Vomit]

You read that article? You don't know who "Dilbert" is?

Stop posting. Just shut up and vote.

A post like yours costs us respect because moron's like you insist on speaking.

Leave that to others, any others, in the future for Trump's and our good.

[DrDude]

Me thinks Mr. Adams is a very intelligent person. His analysis is steady and on point. At least he has the guts to say what he thinks. It really doesn’t matter who he is supporting. He took that out of the equation.

[joshua c]

Is life imitating art?

Josiah Bartlett hid his MS from the public when running for President.

Is Hillary doing the same?
