So we know the numbers don't look good for Hillary, but what about the mood of voters.

Two weeks ago all we saw from the Democrats was that the election was over. Now, there is a very different feeling coming from the democrats, a feeling of desperation ...


There is no denying it, the mood has dramatically changed, the democrats are completely on the defensive ...

Hillary, and her supporters cannot take anymore, one more serious leak, one more FBI revelation, and it's all over, there will be no possible chance of her winning.

We are on the brink, it's almost over, we went from Hillary has already won, to she is circling the drain, and is about to go down.
Sounds like you are spinning it to put on a brave face.

The race has tightened, but all indications suggest not only will Hillary win, but will win with a very comfortable margin.

Your fantasy about Democrats in despair might make you feel better, but it is just wishful thinking on your part.

Oh, hubris.

It's wonderful when victory is all but assured, and you've concluded it will happen by basing everything on empirical, concrete evidence. Nevertheless, defeat stings twice as much when all of your hopes of victory were primarily based on nothing but dreams and wishful thinking.

I guess we shall see on Tuesday what happens, but threads like this are such a gamble.

No spin necessary.

The polls show it's going to be a very close race.

The fact that Hillary is campaigning at the last minute in places like PA, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado and Michigan (of all places) shows that she isn't "winning" by a comfortable margin.

The dems were the only ones saying victory was assured (two, and a half weeks ago), nobody has been saying that about either candidate recently.

Really? I must be confused about what thread I'm posting in, which is essentially nothing but a bunch of people claiming they can "feel" a Trump victory, because of...um...feelings? What these feelings are based is anyone's guess, but that's what this thread is about. I didn't start the thread, but morbid fascination will keep me around anyway.

No, my thread is about how the mood has changed about Hillary.

I never said Trump is assured victory.

I said Hillary is circling the drain.

Dropping in the polls the last two weeks before the election, and having to campaign in states you should have wrapped up is bad, very bad, you can't deny it.

I'm watching Faux News right now for the -hits and giggles


One panelist earlier stated that Trump CAN NOT win if the African American and Latino vote turns out so they want us ALL to stay home LOLOLOLOL And then stated that they need a flood of uneducated white voters to turn out at the polls plus they need the educated Never Trump whited to have a change of heart.


The panic is palpable......and effin' delicious

Yes! And on Tuesday night I plan to watch Faux News fully enjoying their deliciously bitter tears.


I propose a fun little drinking game (with your drink of choice) for the event:


1 shot for each time a Faux News panelist says "emails" and/or "server"
2 shots for each time a Faux News panelist says "rigged"
3 shots if Trump says the words "I concede"

Ha. Ok. Whatever you say. I'm just going on the actual words you thought up and typed out. Hillary sure doesn't seem circling the drain to m, based on what practically every final poll out there is suggesting, but I guess we'll find out of the next 48 hours or so to see if your feelings were valid or not.
