#1 Electoral college is all that counts. I've seen nothing to indicate she's losing there yet.

#2 I believe there are still some good people in key places of the government. If Jeh Johnson is planning to have people throw the election to Hillary, it is important that at the least these people have a way to report what they see from inside to the outside world before the election.

#3 I've been pondering the mechanics of a preference cascade.

This may be the sign that voting for Trump is not the waste that it's been portrayed. People that hate Hillary may be starting to see that they're not alone.

It's still early and a lot of folk may not tell the truth to pollsters that they know are Demo shills.

#4 At this point, I want Trump to win if only so I can watch all the liberal Democrats heads explode. They are so convinced that he is unelectable and she is going to win in convincing fashion that the cognitive dissonance would reach historic proportions. If that's not fun to watch, I don't know what is.

#5 The polls are rigged too. I'm thinking the vote is swinging more towards Trump than anyone wants to admit. Just look at the pre-election Brexit polls if anyone thinks polls can't be bought. Hang in there no matter what the polls say. Personally, I refuse to take part in polls. I think there are many others like me in that regard. Trump is doing the heavy lifting and showing up everywhere to talk to groups--he is a serious candidate and willing to work to be POTUS--seems to have the energy to do the job. In his travels he sees the rot that has been going on. He seems to have the honesty to do the job--something we haven't seen in a long, long time.

#6 To add to John's #5, take a look at who Trump has surrounded himself with, and the notables who support him. Pence, Giuliani, Sessions, Christie, Conway, Carson, Huckabee, General Mike Flynn, Bobby Knight, Pete Rose, Jon Voight, Ted Nugent, Sara Palin..... the list goes on.

Whom has the beest got ?

#9 Whom has the beest got ?

Well, there's Huma. And Bill. And that doctor with the diazepam pen.

#10 "And that doctor with the diazepam pen"

I don't think he's a doctor. He's got USSS written all over him. The way he reacted at the speech when he told Wildebeest to keep talking by focusing on the crowd convinced me he's on her detail. I've seen doctors on details before and they are usually way in the back and don't jump up on stage.

Really ?? Did you at least compare the photos?? Not even close.

"He watches the Beest, not the crowd."

Not in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlHLYR6kX0k

He does EXACTLY what an agent would do. The way he places his hands on her is textbook. He continues to look at the crowd/threat area while preparing to cover/evacuate her. Doctors don't do that and the detail wouldn't let them.

Doctors don't give instructions to detail agents. I've been doing this for 20 years. He's a USSS agent. He might be trained EMT/paramedic which would not surprise me but he's an agent.

#15 How many assailants is he going to take down with a diazepam injector?

#16 The lapel pin, the badging, and the physical appearance of the black individual makes it clear to me he is a medical professional, not USSS, although clearly integrated into her detail. The YouTube video yesterday convinced me on the Parkinson's and his role and her increasing symptoms. Equally interesting was this morning's note of the earbud during the Commander-in-Chief
interview that provided her with answers and coaching. Masking the symptoms of her illness is increasingly difficult for them to do, but its too late to stop, for so many reasons, so they are trying to brazen it out. Watch the video:

#17 If she's wearing an earbud so someone can coach her onstage, NMBS, it would be fun if some hacker could block the frequency - or better yet, take it over and feed her BS to repeat to the crowd.

But then I'm not a nice person. :-D

#18 Wearing an earbud during the debates should result in instant disqualification.

I wonder if Bill Clinton was on the other end of that earbud ?

Try to keep up. ;-p

#20 I think both candidates should get an ear but with experts on the line. Its not as if they won't have others to bounce their opinions off of if they get the job.

#21 At peril of sounding impious,
Be wary of those who would ply us
With moonshine, with witches,
Flourescent green switches,
And sly confirmational bias.

Barbara, With or without the earbud, all she's done for 30 or more years is feed the crowds with bullshit.

#23 Lapel pin - I wear one on every detail as does every USSS agent.
Badging - I assume you mean the neck chain ID badge. I have about 50 of them from different events.
Size - you because he's big and black? I personally know of 3 USSS agents that played or were drafted in the NFL. A bunch played D1 football.

Agents routinely carry medical devices/gear. I carry a tourniquet and a trauma bandage. Does that make me an ER doc?
