In reply to the discussion: Wondering if there's any more "bombshells" against Trump coming out? [View all]democrattotheend
(11,605 posts)3. I think (hope) anything huge about either candidate would have come out by now
Given how many people are voting early and the tendency of donors to pull back if they think their candidate can't win or has it locked up, I can't see why anyone sitting on a major October surprise about either candidate would have waited until now to release it.
To be honest, assuming there are no damaging revelations about HRC or some other game-changing event like a major terrorist attack, I don't really care if more comes out about Trump. If anything, I would rather nothing else come out about either so people have some time to actually focus on the issues and the candidates' respective qualifications. The more comes out about Trump at this point, the more the story is about Trump losing rather than Hillary winning.
