I mean the only way this race closens is barring more email stuff or Trump makes a serious comeback. Neither of those are likely ( and even if they were I think he'll flunk not only the debates, but also make some gaffes along the way)

I think you underestimate the e-mail stuff, sadly. It doesn't have to be new or earth-shattering e-mail news. It just has to be more of the same drip that garners media attention. And then she drops. She is, of course, held to a way different standard than Trump.

I know you are being smart ass, but you might me right. The media has simply decided that Hillary is hiding something and that they are just looking for their deepthroat though that honor goes to Judicial Warch so far.

Because the convention bounce is over.

Clinton is 2 points lower than her pre-conventions level, but everyone feel free to panic.

If things are any tighter this time next week than they are now, I'm going into panic mode. A fascist like Trump being two or three points away from a lead is way too close to not be panicking.

Also


I'm still kind of in shock about the fact that Trump is polling as high as he is. He's a total mentally unbalanced crackpot. It just amazes me that people are behind him in any way.

Truly amazing....

Because Hillary has 242 electors 28 electors away from 270, and she only needs CO, NV, IA, PA and NH as well as NM to win. Although, Iowa and VA can go either way.

Btw I really think Hillary should drop out it's over now. I think she'll get at least Kerry 2004 + CO.

+1 in VA?
Trump +5 in IA?
+1 in NV within MOE?

Emails back in the news, hopefully for the last time. I guess the right couldn't find anything substantial to hit her on, so they've just unearthed the same dead horse to beat her with (so to speak)...

And because Trump hasn't said anything controversial to hurt himself..

The only reason the e-mails are in the news today is that the Obama FBI decided to dump the report of Hillary's ridiculously inexcusable excuses about her e-mail server on the Friday before Labor Day when no one is paying attention.

Not a Trumpslide, but a win nonetheless. I knew he'd come back.

Don't get too excited. He'll still behind in nearly every Obama state (Iowa is debatable) and North Carolina. He's far from being ahead.

Did people really think Clinton's post-convention bump would last forever?

The race is reverting from C +7-8 to C +3-4, overall. That's totally natural.

It's imminent. To those who stated the election was over in August, it has just started. We are bound for an October surprise. Smiley

The race is tightening... And the Democrats are starting to get nervous.

LOL. You think that Emerson deciding to release a bunch of polls at a time is evidence of a "comeback"?

Oh lord...maybe wait to count your chickens before they hatch. Both Suffolk and Monmouth came out with polls last week showing Hillary up +7 and your really talking about an October surprise?

Tell that to $143 million she raised last month and there's not enough angry "college bros" for him to win so.
