Trump’s truest believers start to worry: ‘You could easily lose this election’
Wash Post via MSN ^ | 10-11-2016 | Jenna Johnson

The morning after the vice-presidential debate, Cathy Frasca woke at 5 a.m. and hand-wrote a four-page letter to Donald Trump that said: “It is obvious that you could easily lose this election.”

The 89-year-old grandmother urged Trump to release his taxes, ignore the controversies that Hillary Clinton tries to start, stop tweeting at 3 a.m. and remember that “Bill Clinton is not running for election, so please avoid using precious time to discuss his sex life.” Instead, Frasca wrote, Trump should tell voters about how he will improve the country.

“You know what to do but time is running out,” she wrote in closing. “My prayers are with you always.”

As Trump bounces from one controversy to another and Hillary Clinton gains in the polls, there is a growing realization among some of his most devoted supporters that he could lose the election. They still hope he will win, as the idea of another President Clinton angers and scares them. They blame the Republican Party for not doing enough to support its nominee, the media for focusing on comments Trump made years ago and Democrats who, they say, rigged the system. But they also place a little blame on Trump.

SNIP-

At rallies like these, Trump can live in a world where he is still winning. He was introduced as “the next president” and greeted by a screaming crowd of 2,500 while, he said, “thousands and thousands” more waited outside. There were no polls showing Clinton with a double-digit lead, no debate moderators grilling him on the Syrian conflict, no party leaders telling him to tone it down.

Here, Trump declared himself the winner of the debate, berated the media and attacked Clinton without any interruptions from fact-checkers.

This alleged 89 year old “Grandma” is probably Dana Perino, the concern troll from The Five.....of which I have never viewed as much as 10 minutes per day since its inception. Afraid I’d barf on my LaZBoy.

There is NO 89 year old grandmother writing a moronic 4 page letter full of utter drivel! This is just another crap sandwich, turned out by the insane, far lefties, who have less than NO idea what’s what! Bless their hearts.

The media is trying to carry out a coup. We are essentially living in Venezuela now.

The idea that the democratically elected GOP nominee should withdraw because the Democrat controlled media doesn’t like him is a dangerous and unprecedented innovation- a direct attack on our democracy.

In 2013, longtime owners the Graham family sold the newspaper to Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder) for US$250 million in cash. The newspaper is owned by Nash Holdings LLC, a holding company Bezos created for the acquisition.

This is the same paper that declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the second debate. They write fiction.

Yeah, there are lots of 89 y.o. folks even familiar with the word "tweeting" nevermind what it is.
This whole article is a lie and this "grandma" is a complete and utter fabrication.

Tonight, the alphabet channels breathlessly reported “new polls” taken before Sunday’s debate showing Trump behind. On ABC’s Nightline, the large supportive crowd at Trump Tower over the weekend was called a protest. Never mind the happy faces. Hillary was flatly declared the debate winner. The report on the “fact-checkers” showed the zeal of the alleged checkers, who obviously want to catch Trump in what they can call a lie, as they lied about him blatantly throughout the broadcast.

I agree. The elections for Putin and Chevez, while tainted in many ways, were much more fair and above board than this travesty of an “election.”

This election is rigged. The rigged Democrat primary, the super delegates, the Soros orchestrated violence in the streets and in Trump’s rallies, the staggering media bias, the D+15 polls, the GOP sabotage, everything in this nightmare is without precedent and absolutely unacceptable.

If Hillary “wins” this election the outcome is a fraud and I reject it. In a free and fair election Trump would be up 25 points against this crook. He may be, in truth, for all I know. If he wins he must clean house immediately.

This election is shaping up to be the greatest political disaster in American history. And all because a man who was not part of “the club” wanted to Make America Great Again!

If you read the ‘letter’ what she says about “could easily lose” is about the only thing that WaPo quotes. The rest is supportive and topics/hints about what to hit Hillary with.

There are other examples of people in the article who DO NOT say the same thing. There are even ones that show support in spite of the latest mud.

The point is that Wapo only went for the cherry picked sound bite and took everything else out of context.

I’ve tweeted trump many times not to concede under ANY circumstance no matter what may come of it.

Or we will be a joke for letting a Soviet style election take place.

“you speak treason!”

“Fluently”

Not true.

This is just more MSM propaganda and agitation to try to make it sound OK for Trump supporters to abandon him.

Not going to happen. We are smarter than that.

We can see right through them and see their agenda is to elect Hillary.

Chelsea reminds me of the Corleone daughter in Godfather III. (Of course she is a _lot_ uglier than the Corleone daughter, but you can put that on Webb Hubbell.)

The Clinton/Corleone Foundation is all about helping people, don’t ya know? ;-)

“This election is shaping up to be the greatest political disaster in American history. And all because a man who was not part of “the club” wanted to Make America Great Again!”

I agree with everything you wrote, but your last paragraph bears repeating!

Most everyone who’s part of the status quo is terrified that Donald Trump will be elected and shine some light on the real state of affairs. The government controls trillions of dollars. “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Sadly our great nation has been infected by extreme corruption, and it is time for strong measures.

It is up to each and every one of us to do everything we can to elect Donald Trump. He is really, in my opinion, our last hope to save this country.

Trump/Pence 2016! Make America Great Again!
