Battleship Trump about to capsize

Trump unloaded all of his heavy artillery against Hillary last night and it bounced right off and/or stuck to him.

She ignored the Bill Clinton stuff entirely and it's been either forgotten by today or is just used as another example of how classless he is. And the lock her up shit, while it will play to his base, is freaking people out and backfiring badly.

He now has no more weapons, his ship is on fire and listing, the rats are jumping on lifeboats.

She didn't unload her main guns on him, to keep the ship afloat long enough that she can blast the hell out of him at and before the last debate and take out a big chunk of the GOP fleet.

The next four weeks are going to get very ugly. I expect we'll hear much worse language that will even make sailors blush. Be prepared to see Trump's image pushed from sex offender to KKK/Nazi racist, with more recordings of his plans for non-whites and his enemies (who among us think his imprisonments would end with Hillary). He's stoked up fear, but now the fear is of him, not ISIS, not wall-jumpers, not liberals

30 to 35 percent of their voters stay home...

If they defend him, they lose 49 to 38.

If they do nothing... they lose 45 to 40.

They are in a no win situation.

Bill Kristol is facing the truth right now on MESSNBC.

I'm still somewhat more nervous than I was 24 hours ago.

The media are going with the whole Trump comeback narrative, and the last debate will be Fox hosted.

Nov 8 can't come soon enough.

But I see zero chance of an electoral college win, even a rebound only gets him back to Romney's loss, but I don't see it happening. Alot of GOP women may be saying out loud they'll vote for Trump, because they're as afraid of their husbands as we are of Trump, but when they click on that name in the privacy of a voting booth, it will either by none of the above, or HRC.

... than they are focused on the actual debate. Very few news outlets have declared him a winner of the debates ... Fox and the right-wing nut job sites have declared him a winner, but other sane conservative news outlets (wall street journal, Forbes) have not.

He whipped the deplorables up into a frenzy and horrified the rest of the US

But Cap'n Ahab Trump is determined to avenge himself on the white whale. The crew, meanwhile, nervously ponders the sight of the coin nailed to the mast.

I can't remember the issue, but Hillary spoke in glowing terms about something Bill did as president and used the term "my husband." It was a very nice moment.
