I have no doubt that Mr. Trump still draws very well to his rallies. Yet, how many are going simply to see if he says something that will be on the news that night?


As I have stated before, if someone came to my office and said "Legalsea, down the hallway Ben brought his dancing bear. The bear dances on his hind legs, and sports a "Minnie Pearl" type hat, complete with flower and price tag. Would you care to see it?"


I would say "Yes, I would like to see the dancing bear".


But I would not vote for said bear in November.

I think it's almost impossible not to expect another atrocious external event to happen that will be harder for Clinton to wallpaper over than Trump.

I do, however, see the debate schedule as rigged in Clinton's favor. Monday Night football only matters if your voters are largely men. You don't need a schedule to know there is football on Monday night.
Ground game is the #1 resource in an election. Bush won 2 terms due to his ground game. Obama took note and improved on it.

Money matters, don't lie to yourself.

In an off year election Democrats still prevailed in almost every state wide office, so the enthusiasm point is taken note of and kicked to the curb. A lot more people vote in presidential elections than off year elections. If the democrats can win in an off year election, then the enthusiasm is there.

Debate schedule, please....

External events, yea Trump going nuclear on a dead army captains veterans.

How the Trumpets will cheer!

When crooked Hillary gets the roll of Godfather in the remake of same you find that is something to vote for but you don't want to see it. Maybe closing your eyes and voting will catch on.

We all know president is selected by rally attendance. It's in the Republican version of the Constitution. You will find the passage just beneath the article about which religions are okay to ban and deny rights to gays.

I forgot, Mr. Trump has already spoke of Joe Paterno, in April 2016, asking how Mr. Paterno was doing.


Donald Trump apparently forgets Joe Paterno died, asks Pittsburgh crowd how he


I would hope that Mr. Trump, now aware that Mr. Paterno is dead (and probably not doing as well as he would desire), will forebear from bringing him up.

I prefer Parker House rolls, but that seems irrelevant to this discussion. You do write good!

I didn't listen to her speech. As I told my husband, "All she does is lie, so why waste my time?" I think people are really disgusted with her at this point. Wait, I did hear a clip and she was shouting at the audience. Has anyone heard a reason why she shouts at them like that? Maybe add hard-of-hearing to her list of medical issues?

A lot of people have noticed the shouting and maybe that is offensive?

If I were trying to be more "likable" (like that would happen for Hillary), I wouldn't be shouting like that.
