Do you believe that Trump and Assange have a October surprise to ruin Hilary?

I find this hard to believe. He is shrinking in the polls badly.84 days to election. The kind of person he is, he wouldn't wait to expose her if there was something so scathing. Any thoughts?

that the Democratic Party has chosen its candidate and you are on the Democratic Underground. And we now support the party's candidate. If you don't, why are you here?

But I really think he has passed the point where anything will do him any good.

Not to mention she'd have to have a coat made of dalmatian puppy skins to out-dreadful Trump these days.

has it ever really actually happened?

There's nothing Hillary could have ever done or said that would make Donald any better as a candidate.

Like the previous DNC/DCCC dumps, there will be little or nothing to it, even after getting pumped up by Greenwald and other Assange stooges in the liberal blogosphere... So Trump will only get a 0.1% bump, if that...

25 years they have been looking for a smoking gun and nada.

Not worried they will find one in 3 months.

what did they come up with???

A lie about a consensual blow job. That's it.

Fuck them.

What about the lies that dragged this country into a war and destabilized the middle east?

asked a few limp questions, with zero followup.

surprised?

more like an attorney for the plaintiff, asking leading questions; softball setups, allowing him to brag about how he got FOUR DNC operatives fired for being mean. BFD

who the fuck CARES about that now, you jagoff? is that the best you can do?

Donald Trump is probably the most corrupt candidate for any office in America in...oh, the last fifty or sixty years. Hillary should have enough dirt on this asshole to put him in prison for life, and if Trump tries an October Surprise Hillary will wait till the Wednesday or Thursday before the election and drop the hammer on Little Hands.

I'd guess there's a plan or two they discuss over a pint of ether between crying jags, but eventually realize how unworkable it is after they sober up.
