Every so often, history dishes up an awful convergence of events that leave great nations with horrific leaders — who then go on to create even worse crises. If you think Donald Trump is too bizarre, too reckless, too racist, too ignorant, or too contradictory to get elected, think again.
By the usual rules of politics, Trump should be lagging Hillary Clinton by twenty points. But he is down by less than five, depending on which poll you read.
Clinton just had a terrible week, and so did America. Collisions of racial catastrophe should not play into the hands of Donald Trump, but they do. Clinton’s handling of emails should not offset Trump’s lunatic pronouncements on foreign policy, but they could.
FBI Director James Comey, terming Clinton’s handling of emails “extremely careless,” hands Trump a ready made campaign commercial and undermines Clinton’s claim to be a steady, reliable hand on national security. Comey contradicted several other Clinton assurances. He basically made a liar of her. Though Clinton escaped indictment, the email affair reinforced the broad perception that she chooses not to play by the rules, and is not a trustworthy person.
And there could be more to come. Comey, testifying under oath, was asked point blank whether the FBI had an open investigation of the Clinton Foundation, and declined to answer.
If there are more Clinton scandals, or a major terrorist attack in the fall, or more racial tensions leading Americans to yearn for a strongman president, the election could be a very close one....

They had the gall to try that totally ginned up star fracas apparently not realizing that Ivanka converted to Judaism when she married. Her husband wrote a very nice article about Trump not being a bigot.
Queen Clinton: A crime spree waiting to happen.
Accidents can be prevented. Criminal organizations don’t change when they acquire more power.
Black Panthers, NOI's, La Raza thugs and other hate mongers can say anything with zero backlash from the Feds and most states, because they are not white.
They are protected by the left wing mediots.
All of the above will lie and attack Trump as a hate monger based on their lies not his real words.
The only way to fix the broken system is to completely break it then build it again....
I WANT a guy who doesn’t know “how things work around here”....I look forward to seeing thousands of Grima-Wormtounges being thrown down the steps.
“He basically made a liar of her.”
Nope. Hillary did the lying. Comey just pointed out the obvious.
When I started reading the author's first sentence, I thought he was talking about Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump.
Perspective is everything.
Not even Close, let US all Pray:-)
The usual hit piece starting out with calling him racist.
Look at post #30 and tell me who is the Mussolini Racist.
Amen! Those who get a paycheck for lying and/or doing nothing to improve America are in total fear of Donald ending their gravy train checks.
