I think you need to work on the panic thing. You need to stay online 24/7 so you can get with the program. There cannot be enough panic.

If they won't have you, have you pledged to sneak over the border and live in the woods?

If not, maybe hyperventilate a bit to get in the mood?

If not, go buy some. Fortunately, the cheaper fake ones work fine. Good luck!

There is plenty of time to catch up, though. Get your pearls ready and remember to strategically place the decorative pillows on the fainting couch for softer landings.

You might want to consider finding an outrage thread and venting, to keep it on the safe side.

Hillary has this in the bag and has since she lost the nomination to Obama in 2008. There's nothing that can stop her.

... Are SURE to appear ANY DAY NOW and DERAIL her entire campaign and force the Democrats to replace her with Joe Lieberman!!!

Plus a TV Doctor has just CONCLUSIVELY PROVED that she has a "deeply troubling" smile.

We're just SO concerned, you see.

Email from her campaign last night:

In poll after poll, we're seeing the same trend: Trump's numbers have recovered after his tough summer, and today we're neck and neck.

Yesterday, for example, a new CBS/New York Times survey had us tied with Trump when you factor in third-party candidates.

In the battleground states, we’re seeing an even more dramatic example of that trend -- one poll this week in Ohio has us down by three; another has us down by five.

We always knew this race would tighten up -- but that's happening while we’re also seeing a surge in Trump’s fundraising and ground game. That’s a dangerous combination, and we need to fight back. Can you help with $50 right now?

Trump isn’t going to let up on the lies and attacks against Hillary that are helping him surge in the polls -- or the racist conspiracy theories that made him popular in the first place -- and we can’t necessarily count on the media to fact-check him. Our team needs to continue to do that vital work to make sure voters know the truth about who Hillary is and what she’s fighting for in this campaign: all of us.

Trump’s donors are chipping in at unprecedented rates, but I know we can do even more for Hillary -- and for our country. Chip in $50 right now, and let’s stop Trump’s momentum cold.
