Donald Trump faces a critical debate on Sunday against Hillary Clinton. Ideally, he’d be hunkering down and rehearsing since he very much lost his cool a week ago after failing to anticipate her final strikes against him. He arrived unprepared, and sites like the Hill are warning that he must win the next round, or his campaign is as good as over. But Trump is still merrily crisscrossing the country and making multiple speeches per day, which — unless he’s not sleeping at all (which is possible) — prevents him from rehearsing for a comeback confrontation against his Democratic foe.
So, instead of focusing on debate prep for a national audience, Trump spent Wednesday night doing performance art in front of a Nevada rally. He ordered his supporters to not be complacent and decide their vote doesn’t matter. Nope, every vote matters to Trump, and he actually urged terminally ill people to “hang out” at least until election day. These folks could be focusing on their families and attempting to go out on their own terms, but instead, Trump asked them to will themselves to survive for him:
“I don’t care how sick you are. I don’t care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning it’s over. You won’t be around in two weeks. Doesn’t matter. Hang out ’til November 8. Get out and vote. And then … we will love you and remember you always.”
These days, not much Trump says is shocking. Naturally, these comments will generate outrage, and then people get mad at the people who are mad, and this will likely happen again tomorrow. And next week. Well, at least Sunday night should be unpredictable.
He’s gonna win, guys. The fact that he’s said all that he’s said so far and faced no repercussions but basically a disappointed head shake is a horrible sign. He’s got the vote off all the racists and bigots, who will be incentivezed to vote just to hold on to their petty power, while the other side is still feigning disgust over hillary and wishing their Bernie meme could still happen.
Trump is just so effective at organizing the unwashed masses, that combined with the brainwashed religious right (who care so much about biblically trivial shit that they don’t realize/care that they’re voting for the most un-christian candidate ever), Trump has it on lock.
Basically, hold on to your butts, and hope that we can make it through the next 4 years without getting bombed.
It doesn’t matter how many racists, bigots, uninformed, uneducated, etc… individuals he has; because popular vote is virtually meaningless. She so far ahead electoral college-wise, it’s comical. She’s ahead in every swing state, and it’s only going to get worse the more debates he has to do.
Adding to Bateman, Trump has no ground game to get out the vote. All those psycho olds at the nursing home are going to have to drive themselves. HRC’s is not at Obama 2008 levels, but it’s pretty substantial.
You really need to read more polls. Trump has been nuked over the last two weeks. He’s down 4 nationally and has continued to slide. He’s lost Pennyslvania, a must win state. He’s way down in Florida. If he loses either, he loses the election. Basically Trump is down in every single swing state except Ohio and Iowa, and recent polls even have him losing Ohio.
If he has another week like the last two, it’s over. Sunday is literally his last chance.
What I dont get is the racist vote.
Aren’t both candidates white?
They think Hillary is going to do so much for the black community in one breath, then call her crooked and a liar in the next.
Johnson shooting himself in the foot has done more to widen the margin than Trumps gaffes.
One more until the Apocalypse.

Ever heard of early voting Donald?
This is the worst spin ever. You wonder why the media has no credibility.
Posting direct quotes isn’t spin, neither is fact checking.
@ImBateman:
How adorably naive.
I actually thought that one was pretty funny. Not going to vote for him, but it was funny.
‘…..and if you die before the election,we will hate you for eternity and forget you ever existed,losers!’
If they die, they can still vote as a Democrat! (And I’m a Dem)
On a serious note, what is the protocol if someone were to vote early/send in an absentee ballot but die before Election Day? How is that vote counted?
