Anyone with half a brain watching the “collapse video” sees Hillary braced up with an aide helping her. When time to move it’s obvious that she is wobbling and without motor control of any kind. When she goes down, and she has 3 people supporting her now (one on left, one on right, and one behind), she becomes a sack of potatoes so large that they simply don’t have the strength to told her up. She collapses.

I’ve seen lots of folks with pneumonia.

That loss of motor control and coordination is not pneumonia.

The USC / Dormlife tracking poll is very well able to give us the impact of real time events. In this case, last Friday’s “basket of deplorables” gaffe and Sunday’s feinting spell. As older interviews are dropped off, and new added, we’ve seen a sizable margin open up for Trump. Polls with interviews from prior to Sunday should be considered stale. And, this movement in the polls can build into momentum.

Let us not discount the possibility that Trump is making inroads into the African American vote. I have never seen a Republican Presidential candidate make such a concerted effort. I have some policy differences with the man, but that’s not unusual. Who agrees with whom on everything. Trump’s outreach to all Americans makes me proud to support him. I too want America to be a place where all Americans can live in secure neighborhoods, with good schools for their children, and good job opportunities.

More like 1980. Carter and Reagan locked in tight race. Actual results
Reagan 50.75% vs Carter 41.01% of the vote. That translated to a 489 to 49 blowout in the EC.

I agree with you. I’ve had pneumonia, too. You’re sick. You cough a lot. You don’t have spasms, lose the ability to stand and start ejecting strange metal objects from your leg.

On the other hand, don’t get overconfident and never, ever, ever, trust the RATS. They have contingency plans for their contingency plans, and cheating isn’t against their rules - indeed, it’s what they live for.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bitch pops up during the debate looking twenty years younger and full of pep, just as she did outside Chelsea’s apartment the other day, in an attempt to portray all of this “nonsense” about Hillary’s health as a delusional right-wing conspiracy theory, thereby suggesting that every other terrible thing we say about her is nonsense as well (you know, little stuff like the e-mail scandal).

Ditto with the polls. If the media shows Trump pulling ahead, you can be sure it’s because in a couple of weeks, after the debates, it allows them to turn the tables and crow that Hillary has somehow not only “made up the difference” but pulled ahead like the fighter she is (”she even fought off pneumonia because she’s so passionate about defeating Trump!”) and that she has such momentum now that Trump should just drop out and his deplorable following should just stay at home and sulk and let Bill pick out the drapes.

Shudder.

Hillery gives a ralley in a 2000 seat venue and 500 people shoe up. Donald Trump gives a rally in a 2000 seat venue and 4000 people show up. That is an unbiased poll.

If Hillery wins, America is a sham.

Look at the polling dates... 9/9 - 9/13... Half of the polling was done before Hillary’s 9/11 disaster! So.. You can bet Trump is ahead!

Will Hillary be well enough to appear in a debate? I doubt it. How will they spin that?

They will request all questions be submitted in writing and beallowed 60 days to reply.......(/S)

This is impossible. Media has told us over and over Trump can’t get anywhere. Won’t be competitive. Can’t win etc.

The loss of motor control was a tell for me. There’s something bad wrong with her.

I agree with you regarding the lying dems, the lying media, and the liar Clinton. They will do whatever it takes to maintain their gravy train. They are despicable creatures living like parasites off the rest of the nation.

I believe in being on the offense, so Trump should just surge on with his basic message.

The debates are the logical place for the dems to try to attack him, and since they are in charge of the debates, it is their golden opportunity. They won’t waste it.

If I were Trump’s team, I’d tell him to ignore attack questions completely rejecting them by answering then on any theme that he wishes to discuss.

Trump: The economy is a great subject because our nation has been in economic decline for all of the Clinton/Obama reign of lawlessness.....

"In looking at breakouts of other polls, I think Johnson provides an alternative to Hillary for the Never-Trump Republicans. Johnson supporters tend to be male, white, younger, and better-off income wise."

Last night's South Park had "Giant D**che" running against "T**d Sandwich". I'm a little surprised that the third-party and "undecided" support is as low as it is. A fair number of otherwise forthcoming and reasonable people are reluctant to admit to anyone else that they will actually vote for Trump. The weird part is that so many are happy to admit that they will vote for "T**d Sandwich".

Its the other way around. Hill +2 in two-way race and tied in four way race. I don’t know why they are doing 2 way race when its all 4 running.

Every race, pretty much, with a few exceptions, is now 50/50 or pretty close to it. Many times decided by dozens of votes. It can’t be.

Why do the 2-way if the Libertarian will be on the ballot in all 50 states + DC and the Green will be on the ballot in 45 states + DC?

Pollsters suspect that many of the people currently saying they will votes for a third-party candidate will shift to their more acceptable choice between the two who actually have a chance of winning.

While I agree with this thinking, I am looking at the demographics of Gary Johnson’s supporters, and past tendencies as to how Libertarian-supoorts actually have shifted. In 2014, as support for Libertarian candidates shrank, support for Republican candidates rose. Demographically, they look like Republicans, only younger. So, in spite of many of them saying they’d vote for Hillary in a two-way choice, I think most will pull the lever down for the Republican.

National polls are good for gauging the overall mood of
the public. But the election will be decided in a few
swing states, 10 or so, and that is where the polling
should be concentrated. JMO.

When Trump was a couple points behind, the headlines said he was struggling, on the brink of quitting and could never close the wide gap. Now that he’s leading, the headlines say it’s close, a tie and a tight race.
