Julian Assange says more is coming---that more Wikileaks will be emerging that would lead to Cankles' indictment.
Well, we know that won't happen, at least not for several months. But Assange's comment should alert everyone on both sides that the revolution we thought was brewing? It's brewed. It has achieved critical mass. And you see it in the polls.
Over the weekend, not only does CNN have Trump now at a 5-point lead, but if the election is head to head, Trump is at 48%. Given what are (as we well know) significant sampling biases in these polls---which I won't review again---it's very likely Trump is over 50 in this and other polls. He topped 50 in OAN yesterday. Freeper "Useless Future Eater" has deconstructed the rolling weekly USC poll that shows Trump with a 4-point lead . . . but last night it hit 47-37!
You can bet the media will be THRILLED to cover the Wikileaks so they don't have to talk about these polling trends. These are not just "bad polls" for Cankles: they are total disasters, showing her base starting to crumble (forget about the Indies, whom she lost a month ago). It also means that after the RNC, Trump has made his case: people see him as trustworthy.
But what all this means, in my estimation, is that Trump, like a good artilleryman, began softening up the ground two or three months ago with his "Crooked Hillary" characterization. This was perfectly apt, clever, and above all, 100% accurate. Now comes the invasion, in this case, by Wikileaks. This is a drumbeat of proof of Trump's Crooked Hillary mantra.
It is brilliant. Trump has done to the Dems and the media what they had done to countless Republicans for decades: tar and feather them in advance so that the slightest misstep becomes a fatal weakness. But of course, the DNC leaks were a wee bit more than a "slight misstep"---it was thoroughgoing corruption and collusion with the media from bottom to top. If you're "lyin' Ted," all it took was one statement even remotely estranged from the truth for voters to say, "Yeah, that guy does lie" and with "Crooked Hillary," all it took was a few leaks for people to go, "Trump is right." In fact, his "dishonest media" comments months ago are, like "lyin' Ted" and "Crooked Hillary" have already framed the picture for people to see. Wiki only turns the lights on brighter.
This is all the more delicious because the media is forced to cover, and apologize for, and deflect from, it's own complicit corruption. When Trump says "Hillary Should Resign," he can also point to (as he has done) the "dishonest media" and now, for the first time ever, people say, "He may have something there."
As if all this wasn't bad enough, Cankles has already been beaten on two big issues, crime and terrorism (really, the same issue in many ways). By not saying "Radical Islamic Terrorism" she is stuck for the next 3 months explaining why she won't say that. And as we know, sadly, there will be attack after attack coming in the next three months. The crocodiles have found their feeding grounds, and won't go away until killed. So there is no hope whatsoever Cankles can win on this issue, and sadly we can expect more cop attacks as long as the Moslem-in-Chief continues cop-bashing. Cankles can't escape that either.
I predicted a couple of months ago Trump would win big, but not a "landslide" which needs to include either CA or NY. Now, I'm not sure it won't be a landslide. I also thought the popular vote would be a 2% difference. It's going to be much bigger. Given the presence of 3rd and 4th parties that will take votes, I am now projecting that Cankles will barely get 40%, Trump over 50%, and the other people split the difference. Right now, even NY doesn't look entirely out of reach. Some worried the "neverTrumpers" would deny Trump an electoral victory. Now, it's quite the opposite: the "NeverCankles" voters may out of spite deny her even "safe spaces" like CA, CT, and NY. (When you see polls with Trump down only four in CT, or only 12 in NY, you know this is indeed a revolution).
There is one concern, though, and it isn't that the Dems will replace Cankles (Benie would have his own massive problems, as would anyone else stuck in at this late moment). That concern is Bill Clinton's health. In my view, the ONLY thing that can save Cankles is the demise of the ill former president, which would generate enormous sympathy for her. We all need to pray for the continued health and well being of Slick. While alive, he ensures Cankles will never be president. Hope he has a food taster.
This is definitely a popcorn week!
I think the plan might be to dump Hillary... if they do that Trump wins... the backlash will be bigger than keeping her in...
Spot-on!
“She is not as liked as her husband is. I am just surprised that they are still together after all these years, really surprised.”
Political necessity and $$$. And each knows where the other one buried the bodies.
Guilty of what?
Guilty of aiding Russia! There won’t be a SHRED f evidence, but the CORRUPT FBI will DESTROY TRUMP for their masters the Obama and Clinton.

She’ll be too drunk to give a concession speech.
Hopefully it will be as effective as the Wellstone Campaign Rally.
You know when you see numbers like (example) "43% Americans trust Hillary on the issues of honesty and national security" in some poll? You say to yourself who are those people? That is who I am talking about.
I’m wondering the same, and worry he might be holding onto stuff damaging for “our side”. Ya never know...
The Florida debacle taught us nothing. A DNC operative was caught with a voting machine in his trunk which matched the hanging chad anomalies, yet that criminal traitor was never prosecuted and the spectacle of hanging chads wen on. The DNC is a criminal enterprise. They can be counted on for treachery, only treachery. “D” voters have been inculcated to a herd mentality. They have no feelings at all about the great nation that they are part sovereigns over.
You might want to switch to decaf.
You said it, LS!
This past year has been a wild ride watching Trump war with those that consider themselves on the high end of that Bell Curve.. My personal desire is to make sure the wicked witch of the West is denied the very thing she believes she is entitled to have. I do pray God has mercy on US, not that I think we deserve it.
Many thanks for you taking the time to give us your insight.
Time is something I have more of now that I’m retired.
Those numbers would now be considered “old” after the last day or two. This DNC e-mail leaks and all the massive protests going on in Philly will cause political bleeding on the part of Hillary.
I sympathize with the sentiments. Of course evil should be punished. But the country is facing serious existential problems that need immediate attention. Looking backward isn’t going to fix them. We need leadership that is forward looking and committed to producing results, not just empty talk and rhetoric.
The Clintons have sufficient resources to fund an army of legal expertise and drag this out for many years. The American attention span is limited; at some point they will just get tired of hearing about it.
Again, I would love to see them pay for their crimes and corruption but real justice is hard to come by as we witness all too often.
Not only pray for Mr. Trump but also support the security, both Secret Service and private which is doing a wonderful job.
That news about Turkey blaming the US for the failed “coup” is on FR.
just for the record.
