He hasn’t been over 50% since Aug, according to the graph... He’s at 45% now

Pick the “now cast” option.

“I’m guessing large numbers of Republicans are ‘coming home’ and saying they’ll vote for Trump. He had a huge upside with Republicans who initially said they wouldn’t support him.”

To see a display of people that claim they will never support Trump, go to gopbriefingroom.com

which is truly #nevertrumpbriefingroom.com by policy

There you will see daily posts by social justice warriors, liberals, of material from every leftist source available.

“Hillary is going to be angry and scared tonight.”

You know it!! She’s living her worst nightmare. Everything she’s been cheating and lying and selling this country out for is circling the drain!

To: I want the USA back

Vicious circle - and I’m not talking about her usual moon-faced visage.

Physical stress will lead to a shaky performance will which lead to more physical stress etc.

The reconstructions of Hillary’s stage persona - first in 2008 and for this campaign - have involved obvious and intense breath-control training in a bid to get her icepick-frequency voice (combined with that horrid FLEEEAAT Great Lakes accent) lowered into a more tolerable register.

But as I’ve pointed out here many times, adrenaline constricts the vocal cords so that cavemen and cavewomen could shout warnings about or warnings at perceived threats.

The frequency of the human voice when stressed is a very midrangey thing and our ears, correspondingly, are genetically programmed to hear these warnings as the frequency carries and cuts through the air best as opposed to a bassier frequency (which is felt more than heard) or a high frequency (which dissipates in wind or is absorbed by physical barriers). This is also why we can hear buzzers, horns, from a great distance etc. even if we don’t want to.

Hillary’s Honk, therefore, is not just objectionable for its strident, repetitive banality (THAA GUNNN LAAAAHBBY!) but for its most basic off-putting acoustic properties.

While I would love to see a Hillary meltdown under pressure and hot lights, she will, as V’Ger did in ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture,’ carry out her programming no matter how seemingly irrational, oblivious or destructive the result.

We will get: soft, muted tones of voice (at least initially) with the gain on the microphones cranked so she can speak sotto voce. This may also negatively impact Trump if they attempt their usual skulduggery by making his mic equally sensitive thus making him seem overly loud.

Hillary will wear robin’s egg blue or some other pastel (I dread another pink ensemble), a bit of ribbon - possibly a woman’s necktie sort of thing - or an ascot-like scarf to hide her swollen thyroid.

She will plaster on that bizarre, overly-wide rictus grin she adopted in 2008 when they told her, apparently, to smile more often but there will be an obvious lack of joy, happiness, etc. behind it. Still, the ‘hopelessly butch’ (to use Camille Paglia’s phrase) Hillary will attempt to convert the Woman Card into the Woman Billboard all night.

Her answers will be scripted to the last comma and period. Her zinger lines will be high-school-play cringeworthy. Her most frequently-used words, even above ‘a’, ‘the’, and ‘America’ will be ‘Donald’ and ‘Trump’ as she uses the Axelrod/Wasserman Schultz method of ignoring the content of any question to slam the opposition with declarative sentences. ‘Donald Trump will weaken national defense’....’Donald Trump will alienate our allies and neighbors’...’Donald Trump will endanger our prosperity and unity’ etc. etc. ad infinitum ad nauseum.

There are, obviously, many effective ways for Trump to turn Hillary’s sour lemons into lemonade. He doesn’t need my help but something like this:

‘Hillary, I appreciate your fervent interest in me and my campaign. It’s obvious you don’t want to talk about your own record or campaign and we all wonder why that is. But since you’ve yielded the floor let me respond....’

I worked the ‘76 and the Iowa caucus in ‘88 and this is better.

The good thing is that this will up the pressure on the Witch, making it more likely that she’ll make a mistake, or have a health episode (I’m not hoping for that - and IF she’s to have another one in public, let it be during the 3rd debate when it is too late to replace her).

All that Trump needs to do is to be calm, cool, collected and America First. Do those things, and this is about in the bag.

She’d have to give them permission to replace her on the ticket. I don’t see that happening.

Neither do I - but you never know how some person or group that gave her (or the Foundation) some huge dollars will react to the knowledge that their donee is a certain loser, and refuses to budge for reasons of ego...and that their money might actually be productive if she DOES budge.

She ain’t the only one capable of Arkancide. That’s why, if something happens in the 3rd debate, it’ll be too late FOR SURE. Who knows, it might already be too late, but if the thing was going to happen and I only had a choice as to when, that’s my choice.
