I think it's the deplorables. That comment is bringing the Pubs home.

Please discuss.

Her health isn't what hurt her, it was the lying about it for weeks that did

She got a pass on her e-mail scandal because of white privilege which is why I'm not voting for her.  White privilege is a big problem in this country and Hillary is the latest to take advantage of it.

The Republicans are coming home to the nominee. And young people are still not sold on the Clinton campaign. Trump more or less has the Romney coalition already while Clinton's still missing the youth vote portion of the Obama coalition.

She was sliding before the "Deplorables" comments and collapse in NYC, but is still ahead.  It's the home stretch and the inevitable tightening of the race came sooner than expected.  On-the-fence voters are falling into place and they appear to favor Trump.  Plus, most of the negative media coverage has focused on Clinton lately which is hurting her with undecideds.  Far from over.

I wonder how Brother Donald feels about that.

Email leaks, health concerns, deplorable comment, and the fact Trump hasn't made any really stupid comment or started any crazy feuds recently. I also think a lot of the holdouts are finally coming home to him because Hillary just isn't a good candidate nor is she likable.

Because pneumonia and commentary on Trump's base which is harsh but true are scarier to many Americans than fascism and racism.

I posted about white privilege in the individual politics column.  Problem is Clinton has made a career criticizing it because she knows it gets votes from her base.  Donald Trump should be proud of his privilege as he's not the one criticizing it.  He should also be proud of the wealth he's made in the private sector and from his foundation because he wasn't a politician using his position for more power.  How does brother Donald feel about the e-mails you ask?  Well he's been pretty critical.

a week or two of pretty negative stories + the end of the DNC bounce = declining numbers.

really simple.

I said other only because it's several things.  She attacked a grieving Benghazi mother.  How would Democrats act if Bush criticized let alone attacked a grieving Iraq mother?

There are only two mistakes in what you've written here.

Well if I recall Trump attacked the grieving parents of a dead Iraq veteran. It did have some negative effects but was forgotten after a couple weeks.

Even though he opposed the war outside of a joke he made to Howard Stern?

The fact she's a lying sack of cow dung and lied about her health problems after being a di@k to her opponent's voters a few days before. It was karma as far as I am concerned.

If he opposed the war, then he should have had even more remorse for the family, because their son would have died pointlessly. Instead, he showed once again that he is incapable of empathy.

Before it started a Howard Stern interview is all we have, and he called it a tremendous success two days after it began.
