You and your friends were not going to vote for Sec Clinton no matter what anyway. I think there are some undecided people but no one is switching from either camp. You would have to be extremely apathetic or living in Amish land not to have a strong opinion about both candidates. The 47% comment confirmed something romney was accused of, unless you want to say Hillary hates white people who are proud of their race and want to preserve it's cultural, and demographic identity but the problem is that sentiment of cultural demographic protectionism to most people is aligned with white nationalist, racist etc. Fair or not that's the consensus.

I really hate it when advocates for a candidate tell an outright falsehood.

She is not "behind in all polls". Simply go to RealClearPolitics - Opinion, News, Analysis, Video and Polls and look for the summary of polls in the upper right hand corner.

Oh bother, it's not like Trump has a high opinion of his voters.

This is what he tweeted just a few months before throwing his cap in the ring:

Yes, we Democrats have a bunch of idiots on our team too, so we are not lily white, but we are talking about Hillary saying this here, and she was 100% right.

Don
I agree that some of his supporters are disturbing to say the least, but it wasn't Trump supporters egging women and spitting on supporters, and chasing them down and beating them up in San Jose. You have some crazies too, and they're much worse in my opinion because they don't just talk. They actually commit violence.

you are right. Luckily though Hillary Clinton was once leading at 7.9 in mid August and it has now dropped to 2.7

This statement is a major error by Hillary, unless ...

her campaign is absolutely sure that they can get votes only from her traditional base. In that case, in order to win she needs to get them fired up and out to the polls on election day (not that I approve in the least of what she said).

It's still a risky strategy.

All of Clinton supporters are "basket of deplorables"

There are a significant number of Independent voters who are still deciding. Maybe their strategy is "are you a part of them - the crazies? Or are you a part of us, the level-headed, progressives?

Not much different than Clinton's labeling - maybe worse.

1. That's not Pensacola or anywhere else in Florida.
2. That's not last night.
