29. With such non-stop manipulators in both parties

the question naturally arises. This whole landscape looks mighty fishy. There isn't much I would put past this establishment. (Btw, it was reported that Trump got more than $2 billion in free advertising, as of a month ago.)

It is very convenient, that the Goldwater Girl may happen to end up running against someone who just happens to stir up such FEAR as a motivator for people to vote for her, knowing her own super high disapproval rating. What did Goldwater lose on again? Why yes, it was fear of him! And HRC and Trump are such good social friends, their daughters are besties.

I don't think the hoax scenario is at all outside the realm of possibility, knowing some things such types have already done. Is it weirder than a phony war? I think not. We've had 2+ of those just in my lifetime.

I'm with you, ViseGrip, I think it's more likely than not, just going by objective observation.

As to most of the responses here, scoffers aren't thinkers. They are the LAST to know what's going on.

Most certainly, this will be an interesting kabuki to watch play out.
