Can't be.... I'm still expecting something big by Friday.  It's just how these people roll....

With early voting still in play in a lot of states, I am a bit surprised that they haven't put out anything new to date.
But, yes, if they have more, it will come out.

One thing you guys are forgetting is the jobs report comes out on Friday.


If it's good, that won't help Trump.

How long has U-3 been at 5%? Based on ADP's numbers this morning, Friday's report will be a big nothing burger.

Only early voting or voter fraud can keep Trump out.

No fair.  You're right either way.

No he is only half right.  Hillary is a warmonger, Trump is not.

If the press can interpret it as good economic news, it'll keep Hillary out of the headlines for a little bit. Might be all that matters.

Reports of good economic data is going to seem insignificant, if not unbelievable to those who are now faced with enormous increases in Obamacare.  The reports of election fraud and the Clinton/Abedin emails will continue to surface.

We are also going into the eighth year of a sluggish economy. Hillary's email issue will have more of an impact in the short term than our so called recovery or Obamacare premium increases.

I have been watching liberal family members having a meltdown over this new email issue and how terrible it is and Comey should be arrested. I've asked them what their response would be if everything was the same but it was Trump under fire? So Democrats know this is bad for her

Her savior may be early voting

I'll make a prediction. It will be good and then 2 weeks later, after the election, they will revise the numbers down... unexpectedly. They are going to goose the be-jabbers out of those numbers to help Clinton

Obamacare is albatross for Democrats, but most people aren't affected by it... yet.

??? Reports are already coming out. Average costs are increasing 22%. CNN calls it a "pocketbook crisis".  That's significant.  Washington Post is reporting people are now receiving letters about skyrocketing premiums and having to go back to the exchange for a better rate but with less coverage.  That's  also significant, especially since it is being reported that  roughly one in five Obamacare customers will have only one insurer to choose from in 2017.  In other words, there isn't anything they can do about the increase.

Yep. I think you're right.
Of course the upshot it they have been doing this kind of nonsense for so long that most people don't really believe it anymore. If people aren't feeling richer, they aren't going to be fooled so I expect the effect to be less than it was four years ago.

Earlier in the Thread, I thought Trump would eek out a win if Clinton couldn't come up with any new dirt on him.
As of this morning the 2nd, the best they've done since the FBI story is blame Comey, and reintroduce the Miss Universe lady.
If this is all they got..............

Here's an example of a poll that proves the Comey issue has a half-life and it's very short.  This from Wisconsin:

On Weds and Thurs, 47% favored Clinton, 36% Trump. On Fri, Trump 48%, Clinton 40%. Sat-Mon, Clinton 46%, Trump 40. MUlawpoll.

With no new details, the email issue is fading.

This is the longest smear campaign in any election that I have ever witnessed and it all really began with Trump smearing Cruz and he's never stopped attacking people.  Not to say that Hillary doesn't have baggage; but I think we're all tired of the Trump attacks and now the Clinton attacks.  Trump and Clinton are not foreign to each other; they've run in the same social circle for decades. Trump is very well aware of what Hillary is like and Hillary is very well aware of what Trump is like.  Both of them are despicable and deplorable; yet we will have elected one of them in a week.  God help us!!!
