1. Very Enthusiastic and Certain to Vote are not great

It's hard to believe that Democrats aren't more motivated than Republicans when Trump is such a horrible candidate. Motivation to vote against Trump should be greater than motivation to vote for him.

I hope that the machine that Obama built will help to get people out to vote.

2. Johnson is doing well at 9%

Stein is struggling at 2% which is great news if it means that Trump has a lot more haters in his own party than Hills has in hers.

Uh-oh. HRC's ground game must be taking a toll on rethug enthusiasm. Keep knocking on doors, registering voters, and working those telephone banks my fellow Americans!

4. Who do you "expect"?? A weirdly dangerous statistic.

Joe Voter: "Well, sure, I expect Hillary to win. So even if I don't happen to make it to the polls on Election Day... that'll be okay."

Um... NO. Get your to a voting booth!!

Usually better than the "who will you vote for" question.

We know that he could easily have his own Aleppo moment like the Libertarian candidate. However, I am sure he'll be his smug obnoxious self and just speak out what they've told him to say on certain subjects in his practices. Who knows, he may wear a tiny speaker to aid him. I wouldn't put anything past them.

He will try his best to be mocking of her for the same old tired crap, and avoid the questions from her and the moderator. Hopefully the moderator won't pull a Lauer and let him get away with deflection.

What do you think will be said though if he backs out for some supposed emergency? I would think he'd lose a point overall for missing one. Now, if I said he was going to miss one, he'll miss the last if he feels he has any chance of winning.

If I'm wrong, he may just say I'm not debating her because "she'll just lie, we all know it", and the media is all with her. I actually am fine with him missing any debates for whatever reason, as I think Independents will vote Hillary then!

the media and his supporters would give him a pass on it. He can do anything he wants and they will make excuses for him. If Hillary backed out, even for a legitimate reason, they would condemn her.

It might be in his best interests to back out. If anyone is prepping him, if he actually does prep, they will warn him about having an Aleppo moment. That could scare him. He is, essentially, a coward. He can back out, brag about it and bluster, and still get votes. He may be considering this as a strategy right now.

14. true. he would brag if he did back out. with her issue today, I think he'll think he can

hammer her with email, benghazi, and question her health so much that he looks 'tough'. I hope his blathering mouth shows up! I am looking forward to her nailing him. She almost certainly should be fine for the debates and we'll hear hopefully tomorrow that she's fine and was just overheated from all that she has to wear and not drinking as she walked around talking constantly in the heat, and is going to be ready to debate him!

Danger Danger Up 5 or 9 or or TEN (among registered voters) but DAMN those voters mostly swear they won't dance over hot coals or swim alligator infested water for her! Danger!!!!!

Actual wp header- "Clinton holds lead over Trump in new poll, but warning signs emerge"

Since their July poll, she's up 1 and he's down 2. Hurry! Everyone light your hair on fire and roller skate off the Santa Monica Pier!!!

Broken media and their use of Hillary Rules . Fuck 'em.
