I may be corresponding from jail after being convicted for sedition. Or maybe just the firing squad? Either way they will need to shut me up. Ted Nugent had similar words to say regarding Obama. he's neither dead nor in jail and somehow survived the Obama years just as we will soldier on through the wars and economic destruction which are pretty much inevitable should Republicans be handed complete control. If we created the monster we have to know how to stop him. I believe Obama knows how to do that, and Clinton, if she's wise, will pay very close attention. I'm not sure what President Obama would be able to do if Trump wins. Even if the Republican led Congress should decide to impeach him in the next couple years we'd still have Pence sitting in the oval office. Clinton and her team are surely paying very close attention to what is going on. Just as his primary opponents did. He was a joke at first without a chance at winning. Then he was up in the polls. One by one they crashed and burned despite going farther right than any candidates in history. "Never Trump" became "Long Live The King".

I mean now-before the election. Obama has good approval ratings and he sure knows how to speak and persuade. If there were ever a time for him to use that, it would be now.

If there were ever a time for him to use that, it would be now He's been speaking and trying to persuade from the get go. the FLOTUS has hit the campaign trail, Bernie is begging his supporters to vote for Clinton. The Democrats have pulled out the big guns but it remains to be seen if it will be enough. Republicans are excited about this race, Democrats are like "Ho hum, wish it was Bernie, Clinton will win anyway so I'll just sit home."

He needs to be take over the campaign, because frankly, she's faltering. Between the First Lady and the President, they have enough clout to send Trump back to the zoo (my apologies to the animals), where he belongs. During the final days of WWII the Soviets were relentless in their bombing of Berlin. They didn't let the Nazis come up for air. Same principle applies here.

It takes a Donald Trump to let Mike Pence "seem" normal.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Pence and Trump are on the same page in this regard. Trump doesn't want to DO the job, and Pence is willing to play Dick Cheney to Trump's Bush, i.e., do it for him.

FiveThirtyEight's projections have it down to a 3:2 race. I still think she takes FL and NC for a comfortable win, but even now she takes the electoral college handily (without FL, NC, Arizona, Ohio OR Iowa).
