WE now know why Crooked Hillary played the race card last week in Reno. They knew the polls are collapsing. The steepness of the decline should be a healthy worry for the Clint camp. The email scandal which keeps on giving, being a lousy person and worst candidate are behind the decline. Hillary can't hide for two months with poll number like this.

[mad_as_he$$]

Looks like pay to play is getting legs.

[so_real]

I've been expecting Clinton to leave the race "for health reasons" for months, and the media has been entirely groomed for that eventuality. The only question is ... who will be the knight in shining armor to rush in and replace Clinton to save the democrats' day. Will Bill Clinton jump in? Will Obama trample the Constitution again for a third term? Stock up on the popcorn ...

[going hot]

Ha, just in time for my morning coffee and a hearty Bwahahahahahaha!

[Celtic Conservative]

If this keeps up, she’s gonna have to campaign to firm up her numbers. Which she can’t do because she’s got one foot in the grave. Catch 22.

The epithet I saw today really works:

Hillary Rotten Clinton

It’s not over until the fat lady sings, but it looks like the finale is playing.

TRUMP/PENCE 2016

[SamAdams76]

Our national media is making a mockery of our First Amendment which calls for a "free press." They have abandoned their journalistic principles as well as all pretenses of objectivity.

They are so in the tank for the Clinton campaign that if they are not being compensated for their work as campaign staffers, they may have a good case filing a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board!

They (the media) have unleashed a one-sided smear campaign against the challenger (Donald Trump) that is utterly unprecedented in American history.

Despite all this, Donald Trump is STILL at worst tied or within striking distance.

By rights, Trump should be 30+ points ahead of this wicked witch. But even in decline, the power of the media is still such that they have made this a fairly close race.

A Trump victory this November will be a crushing blow to the biased media and this nation will be much better off for it. Perhaps then we will see journalistic principles return to the media once again.

Here's the problem for Hillary's speech from last week: it made her sound like an Art Bell conspiracy theory nutcase (and I'm being kind saying that). That does not sit well with the vast majority of American voters. The way InfoWar.com's Stephen Joseph Watson BRILLIANTLY ripped that speech to a zillion pieces with his YouTube video shows how misguided Hillary's speech was in the first place.

[InterceptPoint]

We need to be a little careful reading too much into changes plus or minus in the USC poll. Although the trend for Hillary is generally down and is generally up for Trump I'm still not quite ready to say that the End is Near for Hillary.

But the trend is encouraging. I count 7 UP Days for Hillary and 11 UP Days for Trump for the full month. If we start from the first UP Day for Trump the count is Trump 12 and Hillary 5. I'll take that.

Here is a snip of the poll for the last 30 days. It should be clear from this that the trend favors Trump despite the ups and downs.

[MuttTheHoople]

B-b-b-but, she’s pulling ads out of Virginia and Colorado because she has too big a lead!

[Mr. K]

Maybe that’s why she keeps wearing those baggy bathrobes- her Depends are filling up too fast.

On a serious note about her health- She used to have those coughing fits.

It appeared to me she had pneumococcal pneumonia. This comes from advanced age and loss of muscle control in your throat causing you to inhale small amounts of saliva. Which is really bad for your lungs.

The treatment is usually some antibiotics- and a massive dose to cure it fast can ruin your kidneys.

This is why you often hear about people dying of ‘kidney failure’ in the hospital- they use antibiotics too much.

So, now her kidneys are shot, and so she is wearing diapers and/or what appears to be a catheter with a tube going down her leg to a bag.

This corresponds to her sudden and drastic wardrobe change to giant overcoats and bathrobes. Which make her look ridiculous.

Anyone have a better theory?

[pabianice]

Yet realclearpolitics has Hillary up 6-10 points over Trump.

[HamiltonJay]

Hillary has an absolute max support of low 40s.. That’s all she’ll get, no matter what IMHO come election day.

The thing about Hillary, and there are many, but the biggest thing is simply this.. the more folk see her the less they like her and the lower she polls.

She can’t play run out the clock, she must engage, and every engagement she will go down...

I see no way she gets over the low 40s at best in November.

[Kudsman]

Good. I can’t think of a more deserving vampire. Go Trump Go!!!

[Fair Paul]

She can’t drop out, she has too many favors to deliver to some very high-powered “donors.”

[Jack Black]

The USC poll is an outlier. It's sad to see everyone get sucked in by Drudge and Breitbart covering this poll almost exclusively. The RCP Poll Average numbers are more likely to be reflecting reality.

Remember, many conservatives including political pundits who should have known better got suckered by Gallup and Rassmussan into believing that Romney was going to win. Michael Barone pretty much destroyed a reputation he'd spent 30 years building as a top election analyst. Rove's over the top defense of the absurd "Romney is winning" narrative on election night still brings a smile to my face.

Stay positive and upbeat, but don't be afraid to look at the hard facts of what is going on.

RCP Average (two person race polls) have it +5 for Hillary, down from +6 a day or two ago. Trump is improving his position, but has a long way to go.

[Leep]

This is the hildabeast’s dream! She will only drop out if she collapses and dies on the debate stage!

We share the same dream.:)

[txrefugee]

Can you imagine the constant caterwauling of the media if a Republican candidate had not met with the media for 270 days!!! But not a peep from the Clinton Cover Up weasels, who are glad to have her hiding and fund raising because they are afraid of the lousy answers she would give to their soft-ball questions.

They have probably given her a list of the debate questions, so she can rehearse them for a few weeks before the first debate. Trump should jump on this and publicly call out the moderators and Hillary at the debate, if it appears that she has “canned” all the answers in advance, like she does the “jokes” on liberal late night TV.

[DoughtyOne]

If the dynamics exactly as they are were reversed Trump versus Clinton, the press would be reporting out a 30 point lead for Clinton.
