I've been saying for three days now that a lot of Democrats are probably realizing that the cleanest/simplest way to deal with this problem is to have Trump win the election.
Doug’s been hanging on by the fingernails for a while, it appeared to me. He put on a brave face, but lately he didn’t seem as confident as in the past & on panel discussions, especially one of the last ones I saw, he was content to let the others talk & they weren’t being complimentary of Hilly.
I think Schoen’s defection hurts Hilly - I really do. He’s been a stalwart for her for a long, long time regardless of what she’d done. I think the 650,000 number on the emails was the last straw and more than he could ignore & I daresay it’s going to affect others that way, especially those on the fence as to who they will vote for. Dems are praying Hilly will get a sympathy vote (that awful FBI Director, Republicans who have been after Hilly for decades, the Russians & the VRWC), but I think the stench is so strong this time, that many will not be able to stand it long enough to pull a voting lever for her (or punch a card or touch a screen).
