I grew up in the Phila suburb of Montgomery County, the one you hear about
all the time from Chris Matthews and other poll watchers. It is the one famous for Repub, educated women who voted for tRump but may flip. The few people I am still familiar with who still live in that area are all Dem, except for one, and they are all voting Dem. I hope this is a good sign.

Suspicious foreign activity just reported on Fakebook according to MSNBC.
Lawrence O'Donnell just announced it on his show.

I have a dream too...
I dream that this nightmare will be over as a line of Pink Hats outnumber red MAGA hats in lines at the polls.

From Neil Young, Queen, Elton John, ...to The Rolling Stones many have told him to stop but he continues to use their music.
"The Stones had to release statements not once, but twice, demanding Trump immediately cease all use of their songs, eventually clarifying that they do not endorse the nominee after he kept using their tunage without the bands permission. Mick Jagger eventually conceded that there was no effective way to get Trump to stop using their music, equating the usage to something a theater or restaurant does as background noise: They can play what they want you cant stop them.

".....Dictators love me, but we won't mention that....."
The moron just said this at his rally (live)! And none of the pundits mentioned it either!

MSNBC just showed a tRump rally clip and the Rolling Stones were
on the sound system...Sympathy For The Devil was playing. I wonder if any of his cult members noticed that fun fact.

He is losing his voice. MSNBC and Fux Ruse aren't showing it
like they did this past week.

Young people dont vote. At least thats what weve been hearing for a long time. It has been true that young voters, in particular those ages 18-29, have voted in far lower numbers than older voters, in particular those over 65. This year, however, that truism might become significantly less true. Harvards Institute of Politics has polled Americans 18-29 years old every other year, just before the elections, going back to 1986, and this years numbers suggest the highest youth vote rate since that year. Four of 10 of those surveyed declared they would definitely vote this year. The figure was 27 percent in 2010 and 26 percent in 2014. If that apples-to-apples comparison holds, this years youth vote would be truly historic.
