It looks like we are getting nothing on Trump I'm pissed

the Russian connection should scare the shit out of every American citizen who loves this Country including the goddamned media. Fuck the Russians and their hackers. I am an American and I will not let my Country be controlled by the Kremlin.

But I agree I'd be very disappointed if the expected 'oppo drop' Rick Wilson, Luntz (who are very credible sources, even if we disagree w/their politics) have been hinting at.

that teen rape story has always been shaky and poorly sourced, if there was more to it the GOP would've used it to stopped Trump, as they are the ones who first dug it up.

As I stated above, Wilson/Luntz/others hinting at this are credible sources, they have reputations on the line, and I just don't see them making anything up or being wrong about this.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

With a big smile on his face, he just said, "Alright, so it is Friday, I just want to remind everybody. The letter from Comey came out on a Friday, the Access Hollywood tape came out on a Friday...wha-a-a-a-t will happen this Friday? Anybody's guess!"

Was it a hint?

started to get disappointed about this

but there must be something out there if Rick Wilson/Luntz have been hinting about it so much, they have direct sources in the media.

wonder if the media is intentionally not releasing it, to keep a closer horserace.

we can win this without an october surprise, but it would help so much with the senate and to get the email/comey bullshit off of the airwaves.

9. FBI Director and pro-fascism elements in the FBI are causing unusual problems
Fri Nov 4, 2016, 02:29 PM
Nov 2016

I think it's thrown a lot of people for a loop. That and the struggles with journalism the 3 major news networks have had create a very... frustrating environment. I feel very confident about our chances on Tuesday, but it still makes me want to shake some sense into people. How often would a major candidate being caught on camera with a mobster he denied knowing not be the lead story, for example? It's crazy. Luckily, I think demographics and the volume of problems Trump has mean we don't really need a last minute November surprise to win handily, but it would've been nice if we could crush Trump and drive his movement into the dirt before election day. With the FBI behaving the way it is though, and the cable news networks prioritizing their hot takes on polling, it's just not going to happen before Tuesday.

If it didn't hit by then, its too late, IMHO, to affect the election. Looks like both sides have lobbed their best shots at each other.

Chasing unicorns and anonymous rape allegations is a poor substitute for pointing out the MOUNTAIN OF SHIT THAT "WE HAVE ON TRUMP".

It's as if the guy hasn't been spouting absurdities and insults for an ENTIRE YEAR, and has not by his own words and actions shown himself to be a bigoted, ignorant, spiteful idiot.

That's why I hate these "magic bullets", like the birthers thought they had on Obama. For crying out loud, the guy is desperately unqualified for president. If that's not enough, then nothing is.

You might have a point if you weren't hell bent on being a jerk about this. An ignorant one, because down ballot races are helped by every damned point the winner takes it by. People I know are concerned about the very specific races the last little setback could cause us to lose.

You keep your eyes on the White House, as if that's all that matters... but that's exactly why Dems don't have majorities anywhere else right now. Narrow minded simplistic thinking. Way to go!

You're outdoing yourself darlin'.

I called no one pathetic. I said this hope of a "bombshell" was pathetic. And it is. And it reeks of desperation.

Sorry you are desperate about Dem chances. I am not.

Oh wait, I missed that I'm also "narrow-minded" and "simplistic." Come on hon, call some more names. That's good for us to turn on each other. Keep it up.

Don't worry; I never alert. Funnily, I have noticed however, that those who throw insults the most - are the first to alert.

Seriously, call me some more names. You are seriously cracking me up here.

You called me numerous names.

I've called you none. I said the continual calling for a "bombshell" on Du is pathetic.

No one suggested "they" need drugs, lol. I think YOU might be in need of some relaxation technique.

Perhaps a hike? A long bike ride? A mantra?

Running works for me. For now, I'm curling up with a good book.

Where did you get that I don't care about down-ballot races? Hmm? I've been working here in NC daily to GOTV.

But again, thinking that we Dems need some "bombshell" about that orange horror is pathetic. Reeks of desperation. Keep on railing at me darlin'. It still won't make this imaginary shoe drop. Seriously, do you REALLY think we need more dirt on that cretin???

REALLY? Glad I don't live in your universe. It must be sad to watch in anticipation for JUST ONE MORE THING about the orange cretin. But it ain't gonna happen.

Now, I'll be offline, so feel free to call me some more names. I think you're almost at 10 right now. Does it make you feel better? Has it done anything for the cause to elect Democratic candidates? You're wasting time here. Now go get busy and GOTV.

And you know it will be along while before someone as unqualified and foolish as Drumpf will run again.

I watched every minute of cable news (that i tend to avoid) and laughed when the orange fascist gave his teleprompter statement looking like he'd been punched in the stomach...

then the Repub senators were unendorsing, Trump started attacking Ryan,

ahhh, the memories, just wish Team H would've dumped something (even if not that good) out there ahead of the Comey drop to neutralize it, maybe something about the collusion between the FBI and Giuliani/Trump and what a rightwing Clinton-hating cesspool it has become.

Her campaign (Podesta) sucks and plays it too safe, as Trump has so much dirt out there on him and is easily baited.
