Two weeks ago, I wrote an analysis of the presidential race for the Australian newspaper. The polls still showed Hillary Clinton far ahead, but the race had begun to tighten. The smart money should still be placed on Clinton, I argued, but that could soon change: 2016 now looked as if it had morphed into a battle between Hillary’s lies and Trump’s gaffes. It would now be decided by whichever of these turned out to be the more outrageous and by two extraneous factors: the debates and “events.”
Since then, Trump has caught up with Clinton nationally and in many battleground-state polls. The two candidates are currently level-pegging overall, and when it comes to gaffes, lies, the debates, and “events,” the advantage has gone marginally to Trump.
Trump is nonetheless the master of his own fate at this point. He lives by the gaffe and, if he dies, he will die by the gaffe. Clinton is a kind of puzzled bystander at her own fate as she tries to recall what will be in the next batch of e-mails to hit the fan.

It is his to lose as he is starting to squash Fraulein Irma Bunt nationally.
No, it’s not. So long as the deck is stacked against him with a constant MSM onslaught and GOPe traitors and useful idiots, he is an underdog.
If it is it’s no thanks to NR.
Thank God for Trump!
He is bringing up all scum, including “conservatives” and crooked GOP establishment, like oil on the water.
He deserves people’s support, vote and trust of Americans for willingness to clean up rotten, corrupted establishment and return US to Reagan’s America.
Lower taxes, put crooked, lying, destructive scumbags in jail, and release the tremendous potential that Americans have.
GO TRUMP!

It must be killing the National Review, official journal of the Cheap Labor Express, to be admitting this.
I hold to and firmly believe ‘my opinion’. The lamestream (Thanks Rush) media are all on the clinton payroll. The lamestream media has been paid to announce clinton .... no matter the vote(s). The lamestream media is too busy propping her up and covering up the clinton lies. Yes, I firmly believe the lamestream media has been paid to announce clinton as president the day after the vote. May I be wrong, I pray.
This election is over. Give it a few more weeks. It will look like Trump is running unopposed.
This tired crony capitalist newsletter is still alive ?
Stopped looking at this cheap labor express bird cage liner years ago.
Hopefully the Trump administration will kill it off .
the day those officers were assassinated in Baton Rouge on a Sunday i told my wife then- the election is Trump’s to lose....he was heading in that direction the next few weeks but thankfully he’s turning it around in a big way...
may your opinion be the ‘right’ conclusion to America’s nightmare!

oh my..
ROFL!!!!!!!
Did I read somewhere that Trump has a photographic memory?
In any case, he is a remarkably quick study and seems able to absorb vast amounts of information.
You’re right, though. They are going to lob a lot of gotchas at Trump.
That is really not that unusual.
I myself have this ability ...
However, my problem is that my same-day processing has been discontinued.
“It must be killing the National Review, official journal of the Cheap Labor Express, to be admitting this.”
We must NEVER FORGET what these people at NR tried do this election! They all need to be driven from the public view FOREVER!
The “debates” are going to be a completely “fixed” game from top to bottom. Every trick in the book is going to be used against him. The MSM, Clinton allies and even the RINO's ability to cheat using any and all means cannot be underestimated. With Hillary starting to flounder, more than “brushing up” Trump must use his “Art of the Deal” negotiating strategies to push for whatever safeguards he can get.
“It must be killing the National Review, official journal of the Cheap Labor Express, to be admitting this.”
Yes, look at NRO’s take on the birther TRUMP triumph”
“Trump’s latest “gaffe”— his hemming and hawing on whether Obama was born in the U.S., and the subsequent, chaotic press conference in which he attempted to disavow the “birthers” and blame Clinton for creating them — is two-edged. It is embarrassing to him and guaranteed to earn another round of negative press, but it also rekindles discussion of a discredited conspiracy theory that will now serve as a distraction for her.”
TRUMP punked the LSM into 20 minutes of endorsements from vets, including Medal of Honor winners and them shifted the whole birther origin back to the Hildebeast; all of which was later confirmed by numerous LSM sources, including her past campaign mananger!!!!
“Embarrassing to him?” Ha! he nailed the press. “Guaranteed to earn negative press?” When has TRUMP enjoyed anything but negative press? That’s what got him where he is!
NRO = Old Uniparty Fools!
