It is absolutely mind boggling that you actually believe that. It is a complete fantasy that has no facts to back it up.

He's losing on every single poll. The number of electoral votes from solid-democrat states is enough to win the election already. And there's several more leaning-democrat on top of that.

Looney Tunes to think he has any chance.

Well, it seems I've underestimated the damage to the Donald. In particular, the internal RNC betrayal surprises me. But I still think current polls overestimate impact. He definitely still has a chance.

When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

This coup proves that he's not part of the establishment. The overlords from all sides are desperate as fuck. Best proof that Trump is a real candidate.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

No, it just shows he went bananas. Even evil has its standards.

I do have to wonder if the GOP "Establishment's" recent moves have been tailored to make Xavderion say exactly what he just said.

Perhaps the genius of such a move us that it works a little bit both ways. Get the conspiracy nutters to rally behind Trump and simultaneously cover one's ass if shit goes south.

The RNC betrayal is par for the course. They didn't want him as the candidate in the first place, and they would rather lose the election than have to deal with Trump. This just gives them a good excuse for the anti-Trump stance they already believed in their hearts.

They are also considering future campaign financing from the big spenders that usually help the GOP presidential candidate and didn't help Trump. If they can appease those donors, they figure they stand a better chance of future funding.

If Trump wins, Utah will be in for some serious repercussions. They utterly failed to get any traction on prosecuting Hillary Clinton (no special investigator) and they aren't counterbalancing their disgust with Trump's statement with comments on being disgusted with Hillary's behavior and support of her husband's abuses.

There is only a small segment of the voters that were on the fence about Trump that this will effect. The outcry and number of people offended is real and huge, but most of those people were offended by every aspect of Trump to begin with.

I'd bet money that if you did a fMRI scan of their negative reactions, his hairstyle would gather more neuro-firing than his comments.

I won't go into the psychological aspects of why this isn't anywhere nearly as bad as Hillary's camp hopes it is. I don't know the experiences of the GGG support team IRL, and I wouldn't want to offend them or bring up any past bad memories. Suffice it to say that
personal perspective will effect how people take Trump's comments. Thinking everyone will react the same way or a similar way is grossly inaccurate.

The Huma card hasn't been played yet either.

As for the article - there were some good points made, but the author really didn't take a stance. I think the turnout will be the biggest factor. How many people are so disgusted by both candidates that they aren't going to vote at all? To some, voting for either is a choice of injecting ebola tainted blood in your left arm or injecting ebola tainted blood in your right arm. By not voting, (or voting for a third party)they can disclaim responsibility for either outcome. This is especially true if they seriously distrust both sides and seriously dislike both sides.

If the hatred people feel for one candidate or the other outweighs their disgust at having to choose one or the other, I think the turnout will be heavy and that always favors democrats.

Although not necessarily applicable to the wider voting demographic, the feedback from people IRL (who are mostly liberal to very liberal) is that this was far less offensive than his "racist" statements before. Trump's 'former' position on Obama's citizenship and questioning of the Hispanic judge's motives were FAR FAR WORSE in their opinions.

YMMV of course, but keep in mind the people on the east coast are neocons by comparison. Many are still suffering from Bernie withdrawal symptoms.

but so far he's turning it on his side, can say he's doing good so far, Hilary even got booed.
So, who won? I admitted after the first debate that Trump lost, this time it feels more like a win. I mean at times it was a 3vs1 siege and on top of that there was the lewd tape incident and he still looked way better than at the first debate. Looks like the training sessions with Farage paid off lel.

To point out something good about Hillary, she actually talked to the audience guys who asked the questions, made her a bit more relatable.
