Trump surrogates everywhere

CNN, MSNBC, Xm Radio...

This is when I knew that the election would be hard fought and close

As an outside observer, I looked at the republican primary and laughed. You had this awful clown in trump who was saying outrageous things. I was giddy for trump as the republican nominee because I was like no way he can win the general election. That crap may work in the republican primary as he wins a plurality because of the crazies, but the general election electorate would be different.

But then in February I was eating dinner with people from work who all were republican (unfortunately, because of my job I am in the minority). I kept quiet as they were discussing the primary. They were blasting trump calling him an idiot, unpresidential, crazy, you name it. But at the end they all agreed that he was better than Hillary and Obama.

I always knew that regardless of the candidate that a republican would at least get 45% of the vote. The R's could nominate the devil and he would get 45% even if he was running against Jesus.

A lot of polls this morning favoring Clinton

But the MSM will probably only focus on two.

The ABC tracking poll (although they ignored it last week) showing a trump comeback
The fla upshot poll showing trump +4

Whatever happened to the quotes

"Treat others the way you want to be treated"
"If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all"

I guess all that is being to politically correct.

By electing trump we are telling the world, Americans, and kids that bullying is ok, that civility isn't needed, that talking bad about people is cool, talking down to people is alright, making fun of people is acceptable.

America loses the moral high ground by electing trump. We will be no longer able to denounce other countries and their leaders antics and actions.

Trump is over playing his hand

Making these wild accusations. Hopefully the MSM has the guts to call him out.

Biggest joke of it all

Donald trump and his spawn who were born in privilege talking about a rigged system and fighting against the elites.

The last 2 democratic presidents have come from humble beginnings while the last 2 republican presidents and last 3 nominees have been born into the elites.

Scenario?

Trump wins election and then a few weeks later the FBI concludes that the "new" emails are not pertinent and were duplicates. Trump likes to talk about a rigged system. How is that scenario not rigged.

Trump campaign rally promises

Sound like the type of promises that kids would give in a school election knowing that they were impossible

"Pizza for lunch everyday!"
"No more homework!"
