538 Update..

Abbreviated.. The recent surge in Trump’s polling? Certainly not a permanent trend...
and the fact is that Clinton still has a 66% chance of winning which leaves Trump around 34.

This number certainly could be worse....

I know I know its not great news, but I’d much rather bet on Clinton.

And, probably more important, after the debates when I expect the media to be glowing about how the moron exceeded expectations, Hillary didn't smile enuf, etc.....argh.

During debate, tRump will Gish Gallop a herd of lies and the media will nitpick one and say he boo-booed.

Hillary will present lots of well-written policy and facts. The media will nitpick several and say she lied.

She's dropping like a rock. She needs to figure something out quick or we're electing Herr Trump in January.

That's not what's bothering ME the most TBH, because she did have some very rough days surrounding her health and that tape of her staggering to that van was played on a loop for a very long time, so of course there had to be some erosion. But she's healthy now, over the world medically I pray and as a result, I know her numbers will go back up because she's out there on the campaign trail again, taking tRump on. Hillary hasn't given up and neither should we. We have he people registered, but now we have to work hard in getting them out to VOTE.

Wanna know what worries me? I see where SO many are putting a lot of trust in Hillary's upcoming debate performances, yet we KNOW is that if tRump shows up for any of the 3 debates, he's going to be sabotaging the them, try to keep Hillary off of what we KNOW will be her great message by turning them into a 3-ring circus because he knows nothing about foreign policy, knows nothing about the economy, and he surely doesn't know anything about the world around him--the man is an empty 300 lb, obese cylinder full of NOTHINGNESS, and the media will unfortunately keep allowing him to make messes of situations like the upcoming debates

The only way to combat tRump and his dirty tricks is to do all we CAN as Hillary supporters on our end: GOTV, donate whenever and whatever we CAN, phone bake even from safe blue Hillary states and make sure we stay on the attack.
