Why aren't I 50 points ahead?

Shouldn't have been close enough to steal; why was it?

Every time I see that obnoxiously partisan asshole, my BP climbs into the red zone. I'd get a world of satisfaction if he was seriously busted for anything.

He is among the worst (a growing set, as opposed to growing a set)

Massive voter suppression.
Gerrymandering.
Hackable/faulty voting machines.

And other reasons...

After the incredible "grab her pussy" tape anybody that might have been influenced by or knew who Comey was had already gone against him.

The only people that might have been moved were the extremely lightly educated voter who reasoned that if Jimmy Fallon could treat him like a normal person then he must be normal. the pussy thing was just a 'goof' in the Fallon world.

You can only be stabbed in the back by people you trust, and no that wasn't her "whole" strategy.

Anybody who was offended by Trump and his misogyny didn't reverse themselves because of Comey.

Low interest, low education voters who don't follow the issues and were on the fence about whether or not Trump was an OK guy were given more comfort by Fallon than Comey because he extended his cloak of "novel tomfoolery" to Trump as a "regular guy". The overwhelming percentage of Americans couldn't identify Comey by name or picture but they are very familiar with Fallon. Fallon may have talent but he is a lousy citizen.

what I cannot believe is not talked about more publicly, is the fact that Comey NEVER should have commented publicly about the Hillary email investigation, as that was PART OF AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. This is a very basic tenant of law enforcement. The only reason to comment publicly is to have it "out there", to influence the election.
