No Oppo Coming?

It'd be nice to get a push. Anyone know anything?

Through Twitter I've heard these rumors:

- Russian sex tape with underage girls
- NDA to keep underage girls or women quiet after ....fill in the blank
- Shady business associations

Seems like a few attempts to get stories out have fizzled this week. We obviously aren't as skilled as the FBI.

Just coasting through Election Day without any oppo from either side. Certainly don't want to here jack shit from our Russia loving FBI agents. I still fear that someone planted bogus emails on Weiner's laptop. That whole chain of events with Comey smells fishy.

from the FBI and stupid Wikileaks etc it seems unlikely so yeah I would welcome a fresh scandal to diminish Trashbag in these last days. Besides we've been teased and teased time and time again. Enough of the teasing....give me the full monty. LOL

I want something that will ruin Trump and GOP forever, but I don't see it coming. A sex tape of trump with that wretched witch kellyAnne Conway would be fine lol

unlikely a new big story, unless HUGE, will change the race now

Barring any unforeseen disaster we're going to coast to a victory, it might not be a landslide but 270 is all we need

If we get a landslide or if we don't the result is still the same. Tuesday Night we celebrate the win, Wednesday we nurse the hangover but Thursday we hit the ground running and get to work and we've got plenty of work to do.

It would be nice to make sure we get the Senate and make a dent in the House.

I also know the two really bad things that could have come out, one of which still may, are not to do with anything on tape.

Personally, I'd like something to drop that would capture MSM's attention and take it off of the stupid, false-scandal-narrative of the FBI/Emails. But I don't know that at this point it will even matter one way or another.

However, she's in the 60s now on 538, 2 NH polls have come out today with her tied or behind (she's also behind in the shit poll ARG).

So yeah, some oppo that demoralizes the Republican base and depresses Republican turnout would be nice.

16. maybe the Clinton campaign sees it as counterproductive now?

at this point, i can't believe there are a lot of genuinely undecided voters left. the Johnson and Stein votes are collapsing to normal sub-5% 3rd party levels. anyone who still supports tRump after all the shit that's already come out isn't going to change their mind from something released today. likewise, anyone supporting Clinton doesn't need more incentive to do so from tRump's bad behavior. i think the Clinton campaign might have decided to just let it ride with a bunch of ad buys, and focus news coverage on a positive message from her.

OTOH, the day is still young

They are always trying to run the clock out. I get it, 272 is the same as 350+, but if you can eradicate his campaign with something awful, just do it and see if you can't demoralize the Republicans and keep them home.
