And at this late stage of the game it certainly looks like a race to the bottom. Both of these clowns think they can win the election with insults and both sides are doing their best to dig up the most damaging dirt. So far it looks like the Trump video from last week takes the prize, but there's still time left.

I am terrified of a Clinton presidency but don't really think Trump can realistically pull off a win now. I don't like the way the media is in the tank for Clinton, but it is what it is. Whatever chance Trump had is probably gone now.

It really is disgraceful the way this country has gone about picking its next leader, and equally disgraceful are the choices we've had.

Is it too late to get some of that "Troll" money?
Baby needs new wheels.

It seems like there always has to be someone or something the blame needs to be heaped on, even when it's not real. It's better when it is not real, because a conspiracy can always be made up as it goes along, just like playing with silly putty.

Hillary has gotten more criticism over everything in her life than any other woman I can think of in my life. For longer than any other woman, too. Naturally. She's brittle, edgy, suspicious, and has a temper. Temper in a female is always a problem for lots of folks. So is a tough-minded woman who takes no crap. Those gals are always a real threat to old white men especially.

Hell, I have no affection for her at all. My brother dislikes her even more; she questioned his honesty twice to his face.

But given my choices, she's the only one who has a few qualifications for the job. Life is like that- there's always somebody who's good at what they do and nobody in the rest of the company likes.

But this isn't a popularity contest. I will vote for her, and so will my brother. We both know a con man when we see one, and Clinton is no slick talker in yellow shoes.
oh look, the gender card

But you don't "know" anything. What if Trump is paying these posters to put up all of these rumors? It's possible, you know. In the end, you've got a bunch of hogwash being posted, about both candidates, and you don't trust the media, you don't trust history books, you don't trust government. You create a world without credible information, and then you try to make decisions based on a vacuum of information. We live in the Information Age, it's ironic, isn't it?

The trolls create a false impression that Clinton has more support than she really does

And the pollsters are in it, too! That darn conspiracy!

I suspect Trump and Assange are paying for the same. After all, Trump hired actors for his golden escalator descent.

And Julian has to get those leaks disseminated or nobody really cares. Nobody really cares, anyway, but his ego wants them spread around.

A good rule of thumb is to check how recently someone registered. Then check their other posts and posting history--if there is any.

I doubt they give a rats ass about who they work for or even care about anything other than getting a paycheck and hoping( foolishly) that they'll somehow be kept on and given a steady job when this is all over.

How do you know she would be good at playing President and why do you believe the manufactured media hype that she has been anything but scattered and ineffective in her other positions?

Indeed. No longer about citizens deciding. Some on both sides, but much worse on the left. Astroturf is so true. No genuine left in society, when one can hide behind the screen.
