Is a terrorist attack on US soil by Islamic State in October? Would it be enough to push him over the line vs Hillary?

A terrorist attack - Some problems with Hillary's emails - more disclosures, etc!

Even a terrorist attack won't be enough - Trump is that bad a candidate!

I used to think that just a terror attack could do it, but not anymore. He is so awful, and will probably be even worse as a nominee, that it would take both a major collapse by Hillary (but something short of forcing her to bow out, somehow) AND a major boost to the pyrite-colored pustule on the face of humanity to let him have a shot. Something like a major terror attack or economic collapse.

Trump and ISIL are probably in collaboration right now to figure out when to best time the attack, tbh.

Whether it's enough to overcome the sudden surprise death and state funeral of President William Jefferson Clinton is the real question.

If it's on the scale of Brussels, maybe not. If it's on the scale of 9/11, that would probably do it unfortunately.

Trump needs to work harder to convince the financial markets that his election would mean an economic depression.  Then the markets get so spooked by the slimmest possibility of Trump winning that it leads to a big crash.  The voters then blame the crash on Obama, and Trump gets elected.

Trump would win if there is a terrorist attack in Washington DC, a major stock market crash, and Hillary Clinton gets arrested, all within 3 weeks of election day.  Otherwise, Hillary wins.

MUSLIMS are targetting our rail system, like Amtrak and Metra, but this isnt England or Israel , where Arabs get on a normal bus or subway and blow themselves up. It would of happened already, thus, Trump wont become president.

Obama has sent bomb sniffing K9 dogs to Amtrak stations, already.

Such an October surprise may help, but depends on Obama's reaction. It could also help Hillary. President Obama is a proven leader.
