US Gen. Election Thread V: The Hunt for Red October Surprise

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Considering the post-debate bounce was expected to be at 2 to 4% in a narrow race, and Clinton has managed to gain 7% instead, Trump clearly doesn't know how to gain anything.

Trump's more used to getting things by destroying a current venture and then getting his lawyers to suck off all the money from its corpse.

So he's trying to destroy the GOP to then get his lawyers to suck off all the money from the rotten remains of what once was one of the two most powerful parties in America?

Probably. And use that money to fund Trump News.

My bet is that Trump will not be reaching his ceiling. If anything, he is going to reach his floor or close to it- which is roughly 38%. He will have to really work at it to go any lower, but I think he could manage to fall if more Trump controversies get leaked and he is seen as being so outrageous by almost everyone to varying degrees.

I don't think he'll be that low but, as I said earlier, his ceiling his 45% in my opinion. That said, I think he'll be somewhere between 42-44%, like some have said on here.

The Republican party is now a shell of its former self.

Official: Thousands of Indiana voter registrations altered

From the "You can't make this shit up" department, Trump is bringing Obama's half brother to the debate.

Official: Thousands of Indiana voter registrations altered

The Indiana incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of voting systems ahead of the general election on Nov. 8.

You know, that's a point. What are the chances that loads of incidents of voting fuck ups are going to come to light with the recent spotlight of voter fraud that might have gone otherwise unnoticed for years, perhaps.

Trump is in Colorado saying that he "doesn't believe in the polls anymore" and insists that he is "doing great." He is now in his own bubble with a don't care attitude. The polls are almost certainly correct but he is too much of an idiot to recognize he's way behind and make any kind of attempt at a course correction.

From the "You can't make this shit up" department, Trump is bringing Obama's half brother to the debate.

Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik will show his support for Donald Trump at the third presidential debate on Wednesday.

The Kenyan-born man, who is also a U.S. citizen, announced in July he would vote for the Republican nominee. Now he tells the New York Post he is “excited” to attend the debate in Las Vegas and believes Trump “can make America Great Again.” Trump tells the Post his guest “gets it far better than his brother.”

The Trump campaign confirmed to TIME that Malik would be the candidate’s guest.

Malik told the Post he does not believe the women who have come forward to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct, asking, “Why didn’t they come forward before?” He found fault with Hillary Clinton’s work as Secretary of State, claiming that Muammar Gaddafi had been a friend and adding, “Check out the situation in Libya now.”

He says his most recent visit with his half-brother at the White House in 2015 was a “hands-off kind of thing, very businesslike, very formal.” Malik has expressed resentment that Barack Obama has not helped him with his foundation to support the family’s village of Kogelo, Kenya. In 2013, he unsuccessfully ran for governor of the western Kenyan county of Siaya.

With Obama's approval in the high 50s? Great idea Trump.

The only way this could be damaging to Hillary is if it turns out she had a secret affair with Malik and there's an illegitimate child out there somewhere.

The polls are almost certainly correct but he is too much of an idiot to recognize he's way behind and make any kind of attempt at a course correction.

Trumps lived in his own bubble since his daddy gave him that small loan, and his supporters have for eight years lived in another. Now the two have merged into the biggest clusterfuck since the 1960's(lets hope it stays at the 1960s and not 1860s).

Trump Jr. on day of Aurora theater shooting: “Overall I give the movie two thumbs up.”

Further proof that Lyin' Hillary was probably lying when she said she admired Trump's parenting.

Which period? The time between the 1860s to the early 20th Century or the GOP of the 50s?

I think at this point the GOP is virtually an Ouroboros.

Proof Trump is a deplorable desperado.

The entire history of the party since Lincoln, where it accomplished many deeds, but then the New Republicans completely overhauled the party with Reagan, with Nixon transitioning it that way. Trump makes matters even worse for them.

That looks like a Krispy Kreme.

Watching CNN Trump supporters trying to chant "Lock her up" Hillary supporters chanting over them "We're with her".

Watch Trump say, "Look my supporters are being unfairly bullied by crooked Hillarys supporters, when I'm president her supporters will also be jailed."

[Gauthier]

That's only a shadow of its former glory.

I like my analogy better.

When snakes shed they tend to renew themselves. Can't say the same about the GOP.

[Outer Sparta]

That's only a shadow of its former glory.

I like my analogy better.

I would add that it's only a shadow of its former self because it's left weaker and more vulnerable.

Trump would probably try to have Hillary publicly executed on live TV.

Please please tell me Trump didn't actually say that?!
