“...beaten back by the alternative media at Trump’s disposal...”

That’s because for once, FINALLY, we have a Man who knows HOW to fight back and is willing to.

He is not accustomed to, nor comfortable with, nor willing to settle for losing.

Big difference between him and the two RINO losers we had to hold our noses for.

The New York Times is already working on their article about how Clinton is the ‘moral winner’ of the election.

That’s very true, and I’m glad you pointed it out. We had the alternative media the last election, too, at a minimum. WE just didn’t have a fighter. We had, it turns out, a turncoat.

Attitude is everything.

This is a Man who is taking a pay cut to do this. He’s doing it for his Country. And for us.

Doesn’t “bellwether” mean that as goes Ohio, so goes the election? If it does, then how would the NYT know whether or not Ohio is a bellwether or not since the election has not happened yet?

they are failing in their mission. It’s so beautiful to watch all these LSM “organs” killing themselves. They really do have nobody to blame but themselves when they finally die.

MSM reporting:

“…Ohio is a key state in American politics according to political experts. A bellwether that often decides which party will control Congress and even the White House. Democrats have long enjoyed a…

“(Huh? What?)

“…Contrary to poplar opinion, Ohio is NOT regarded as bellwether of American politics among political experts. Dispelling a popular myth of its importance to winning Congress and the White House…”

Don’t believe it. Ohio is now a TV only state, that’s all. I counted the piggy ad 6 times in the 45 minute dinner hour last evening.

"If Trump crushes her, they’ll try and make it seem like the voters were swayed by the medical issue and not her message."

Well, that's entirely right, but it's also entirely right. 40% of ths country is not dissuaded by her message, whatever gobbledegook it is...

As an anecdote, must relate that an older relative, after watching her collapse, is now only voting down-ticket races...

My educated guess is that is a past-tense media buy which finishes up incidentally at the end of the wild card games. Probably less than a week left in that period.

I’m not buying it. The race is too close. And, I got an expensive full color direct mail piece today. Sent yesterday to everyone. (I get mail for a lot of people here).

But, the good news is that the Ohio Teamsters endorsed Trump.

When she has only Illinois left it will be the only state that counts.

“What about the Soros plan to register Americans in Europe?”

I lived as an ex-pat for 18 years. My experience is that many are conservative. The most common job other than a military posting for an ex-pat is a missionary. Not exactly had leftist there

Also, ex-pats vote absentee in the state they came from which dilutes the vote.

Add to that many are, by virtue of the FATCA laws passed by the combination of Obama/Bush 43/Clinton/Coolidge now tax cheats despite being honest people. Many ex-pats don’t want an address where the IRS can find them so even if they supported PIAPS won’t vote.
