The FBI is literally putting its thumb on the scales right now as you read this.

'The FBI is Trumpland'

Quote
The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”

The agent called the bureau “Trumplandia,” with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.

Quote
The man [Rudy Giuliani] who now leads “lock-her-up” chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office.

Donald Trump Can’t Count on Those ‘Missing White Voters’


Quote
Donald J. Trump and his supporters hope to overcome sweeping demographic shifts by rallying the support of “missing white voters” — disaffected, conservative populists who sat out the 2012 presidential election.

Millions of these voters could be activated, the theory goes — enough to overcome the demographic changes that favor Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Trump may yet win this election. But if he does, it probably won’t be because of a huge influx of Republican-leaning “missing” voters.

There has been no surge in registration among white voters since 2012, and the white voters who have joined the electorate are younger and likelier to support Mrs. Clinton than those who were already registered.

here's hoping.

Dont get me wrong though, the thought of a neoliberal neocon military interventionist with very close ties to Wall Street as president concerns me greatly.

The thought of an unstable white nationalist demagogue as president absolutely terrifies me.

I could not agree with you more. ThumbsUp
I would add neo-fascist "unstable white nationalist demagogue" to your description.

silver says the models are bad .... trendlines converging .... and you are bouncing

H*O*L*D - F*A*S*T

i wonder if a large person with charismatic charms were to run would it matter what the message would be? i suspect for many people the mere {{presence}} of such a person may be more important than anything they would say ... it's a primal thing

I'm struggling today to keep from going into a deep funk. How the hell can a completely unqualified clown be the candidate of a major party? How can this election even be close? I despair for our country


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

I'm with ya there, ol' boy.

Trump still looks exactly like bad satire to me. How anyone could vote for him is beyond me. It does, however, explain how things like what's going on in Syria, and the whole Nazi thing, and ISIS, and the unprovoked and bumbling invasion of Iraq, and ... (I guess the list goes on and on) ... can happen.

Lots and lots of people are substantially delusional. Most everyone is to a degree, I reckon.
