US General Election Thread IV: The Beginning of the End

[Thermodolia]

I didn't see that, where does it say that they are IC'ly Genghis Khan?

All three of Pax Mongolica's posts. Particularly this:

Back in my day, civilians would submit to the conquering force's rule or perish.

It's just a noob who doesn't realize General is Out Of Character only.

Hopefully they're now wised-up and won't get warned for advocating death ...

Interesting. See I took the "back in my day" part as someone who grew up in the 50's

So what's the current state of the race?

Hillary still winning.

Hillary still winning.

How close is it?

Hillary's winning, but instead of by 8 points like in August, it's closer to 3 points. It looks like Trump found his ceiling, but we don't know if Clinton has found her floor.

[Socialist Nordia]

Hillary still winning.

How close is it?

It's getting closer. One poll actually showed Trump winning, but all the poll-based forecasts still have Hillary in the lead.

No she won't. Pneumonia doesn't last forever. She'll be back on the trail soon enough.

Pneumonia can get much worse and bed-rid you for a good while.

I'd say it is definitely something that can ruin her campaign trail and can definitely become a campaign ender. Pneumonia is not this light thing that you can recover so easily from. It's a major issue, it's just not a terminal issue.

I had it twice once as a kid. The first time I was almost 13 with pneumonia. I wasn't quite well enough, but there was a World Series game I wanted to go to and the tickets were bought weeks back. My mother was a nurse. Game was on Sunday. She didn't let me go to church that day, had missed ten days of school by then. Mom then decided my grandfather could take me to the game that afternoon. There were 60,000 people there. We won the world series that day, but I was exposed to many folks with my compromised immune system. I was tossing up my cookies later that night, sick as a dog. Did not go back to school for another two weeks. I'd caught an intestinal virus while at the game, man that virus nearly sucked the life out of me. I was already weakened plenty by the pneumonia. All in all I missed three straight weeks of school plus a bit of the fourth week. I had to get a waiver to pass the 8th grade bc I was short so many days. Fortunately my grades were good enough.

If this sort of thing can happen to q 13 year old, then a 68 year old better look out. Plus the antibiotics were more effective back then. Hillary could be in some dire straits.] with all the people she comes in contact.
She should really convalesce and take no chances.

Well she has canceled several events, trips, or switched herself with others

[Atramentar]

Donald Trump already making excuses for a bad performance in the debate before it's even happened.

Yep, everything is rigged until and unless Trump wins it. What a bloody joke.

The point I was trying to make was, it takes a longer time than you'd think to get your full immunological resistance back to normal and not come down with some other common diseases that you'd normally fight off.
That's what she's up against.

Oh my god, Trump is such a damn baby.

[The United Territories of Providence]

BTW, I voted Yes on "Poll Change".

[Socialist Nordia]

Oh my god, Trump is such a damn baby.

Heh. Does he even know how debates work?
I'm still betting he won't show up. He knows he'll get killed at a debate if he shows up.

More like he's a chicken.

I think he's betting that Clinton will be a no show. That has me thinking, did anyone check Clinton for polonium-210?

[MERIZoC]

So what's the current state of the race?

The white nation is under threat from multicul-

Hillary is sick, right wing claims they were 1000% right all along.

No moderators will guarantee the debate will be a shouting match and lack any coherency.

There will be moderators. There is NO CHANCE he gets his way on this. They set these debates up over a year ago. Hey ...maybe he'll get sick and get a goofy doctor's note saying he can't have moderators.

Anderson Cooper is moderating one of the debates, maybe Trump thinks gay people are icky.

"How DARE anyone point out when I'm making shit up?! This is an outrage!"

Cry some more.

Sorry, I should have said, "No moderators would guarantee..."

Someone should make a remix of all the times he said something was rigged, ending with his on-camera statement where he said that since he won (the primary), he no longer cares about it being rigged.

I bet he does if he's good with Putin's bullshit. AC is also one of the Vanderbilts, so he's no stranger to super rich guy issues either.

I did not know that. The more your know.

Pneumonia isn't the plague dude, she'll probably be fine come debate time.

It is a disease that comes in many varieties, so it can range from minor to serious. Pneumonia kills people all the time and used to be a lot more fatal before antibiotics and penicillin were developed. At its most basic, it means that a germ has inflamed the lung's air sacs. If Clinton's condition is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae for example, she'll probably be fine. If it is caused by a bad virus in contrast, she might die without quick treatment if not debilitated.
