It wouldn’t surprise me if they pull out of Ohio.

Clinton signs in Ohio are an absolute rarity. They probably have to pay people to put them up.

Typically, campaigns will abandon states, 1-2 weeks out from the election. If hillary is leaving Ohio 6-weeks out, that is Hugh and Series.

If Ohio is going for Trump now, makes me wonder about tradition blue states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, NJ, NY and Connecticut.

I think her travel limitations meant she had to give up trying in Ohio. Her campaign is slowed down by all her ailments.

If every one of the “removed from voter rolls” which were overturned yesterday by the liberal hack leftist Fed judge, is hijacked by Soros and voted D, how many would that be? Is that enough to win /steal for Hitlery?

In a month from now we’ll be debating whether Clinton will lose Illinois and New Jersey.

Twitter feeds for Clinton campaign operatives are still seeking volunteers to fly into Ohio, Iowa, and Utah to knock on doors for Clinton.

They are trying to repeat Obama's strategy of sending out volunteers to knock on doors of possible voters. They have been doing it here in NH too, sending over moonbats from Massachusetts - they probably couldn't find anybody in NH to volunteer for them.

This was OBVIOUS from the day Trump was the nominee.. The firewall of the rust belt was going to collapse and collapse big and R would penetrate into the north east as well...

Hillary never had a chance at this.. once the Republican’s settled on Trump, this race was effectively over... The left thought that too, but they thought it meant Hillary would cake walk... Because, well, they live in bizarro land where left is right and up is down.

This race ended the day Trump was officially the nominee. The only one who could or can take out Trump is Trump. Hillary never stood a chance. Now Trump did stumble in late July and early August with the Kuhn family nonsense.. thus stalling his momentum for a few weeks, which the pundits incorrectly read as Hillary building, but he quickly recovered, regained the momentum he’s had since last year, and is on pace for a blowout, which was what this was always going to be.

Hillary could somehow depress Trump’s support, you get a squeaker election where she might be able to take her low 40s support and win.. otherwise Trump runs away with it.

Tonight is really the last shot, and as long as Trump comes out looking reasonable, he’s marching to a massive win.

Her ads are still running in OH, but don’t know how far in advance those ad buys were made.

I believe that the performance of a candidate in a debate should be judged on whether or not he advances his candidacy. That judgment supposes a clear understanding of what will accomplish that objective. That understanding has radically changed in the last days.

Until some time ago the odds were firmly with Hillary to win the election because Trump was in the unenviable position of being required to run the board of battleground states in order to prevail. Therefore under that state of the race, Trump must "win" the debate in order to get a new deal of the electoral college cards. Under those circumstances, Hillary needed only to muddle through and bank on Donald to simply disqualify himself or, if Trump somehow managed to escape whole, Hillary could count on her huge air game and the standard Democrat ground game to pick off one or two states and finish Donald Trump off.

The polls which have come out in recent days and even this morning make it clear that the momentum is with Trump and that Hillary must "win" the debate or watch her numbers diminish every day on the electoral map. Unless something changes the direction, Trump's momentum will carry him to victory. Therefore, Hillary must use the debate tonight to stop Trump's momentum.

Clearly both sides understand this dynamic but that does not mean the Trump by his nature will hold back. The question is will Trump moderate tone and concede the odd issue knowing that the burden is on Hillary to really win the debate not just to score a few points. The next question is, will Hillary become even more strident and unattractive as she desperately tries to bring Trump down?

This is not to say that this inversion of roles in the debates will by any means be dispositive but it does say that the real advantage lies with Trump.

Finally, most Americans are not really interested in Hillary's encyclopedic knowledge of arcane politics, they already know they dislike Hillary, they have viscerally dislike her for decades, they just want to know if it is safe to vote for Donald Trump. This dynamic makes it even more difficult for Hillary to accomplish what is necessary to advance her candidacy. She has the burden to kill off Trump in the debate but she cannot do so by being aggressive because that is precisely part of the reason why she is hated.

How can Hillary conceivably do it? Unless Trump commits a world-class gaffe, she cannot hope to do it. The odds are with Trump.
