My Significant Other Is A Staunch Hillary Supporter But She Still Says She Can't Count Trump.....

out. After watching the debate last night she said of Trump - that his smug demeanor, his cockiness and just his demeaning stature, look and lurking of Hillary - smacks of him knowing something like he is going to pull a win out of this election - that the fix is in.

Is it possible that this election can be stolen at this point? Could a real fix be in? Could the voting be hacked - either internally by Repugs or externally by perhaps Russian hackers that want to keep Hillary out of office?

Or are the numbers just too overwhelming in favor of Hillary right now that stealing this election is just impossible?

I know that in a real close race - that it doesn't take much to move some votes in favor of one candidate or another to give them a win. Are we there or is this going to be a rout by Hillary and the Dems?

I can't wait till this election is over - because I'm having too many sleepless nights.

GOTV for Hillary and the Dems.

We need to put an end to this madness that this country has been placed under since the start of this election cycle - from Clown Car to the present.

2. Yes, any number of things can go wrong, but

3. fretting about them--the possibilities you mention are all highly, highly unlikely to occur is fruitless, and

4. fruitless fretting will give you stomach aches and wrinkles.

5. Hillary's going to be the next President.

Steve Schmidt said basically the same thing yesterday in his post debate analysis.

I want to believe the both of you - but as I said in my original post - I'll be glad when this is all behind us and Trump is put out to pasture.

and can't stand that a woman is outperforming him, bigly. This is who he is.

The only fix in this situation is Don the Con's need for an ego fix. So sad.

Not sweat the stuff you have no control over.. the only issue is to fight voter intimidation tactics and sure hope we organized with our lawyers and DOJ....to bring federal oversight on this

Meant for Trump, of course...

Confidence is that feeling you have before you understand the situation.

In his case, it is false bravado. Groucho Marx once said, regarding acting:

Sincerity is the key. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

Trump cannot fake sincerity. He can't do real sincerity, either.

I think we all know that. I don't see anyone saying we should take the next month off so how about putting your energy into helping Sec. Clinton get elected?

"After watching the debate last night she said of Trump - that his smug demeanor, his cockiness and just his demeaning stature, look and lurking of Hillary - smacks of him knowing something like he is going to pull a win out of this election - that the fix is in."

They saw someone who looked like they were going to pull a win out? He looked demoralized. There is no way they came away with the thought he looked confident as if he was going to win. Nothing in his demeanor would have brought someone to this conclusion.

Trump is creepy and it's disturbing just to watch him, but his demeanor is based only on his personality, not on any realistic chance that he has in defeating Hillary.

Keep in mind that you're witnessing the death throes of the GOP. This is it. They're dying. It's over! They're obsolete. They're irrelevant. They're impotent. They've been exposed. Before my life has ended, the GOP will cease to exist in any meaningful way. As a national party, they're DONE! There will be pockets of hold-outs and regional affiliations, but the party has NO FUTURE. Goodnight, Irene! Rest in pieces.

Rmoney thought he was going to win too and he's not exactly ignorant. On Election Night he still thought he was winning. Arrogant white rich dudes who've been handed everything their whole lives ALWAYS believe they are going to win.

The meltdown when he doesn't win will be epic.

We need to make sure everyone goes out and votes on November 8th. The only way Hillary can lose this at this point is if Democrats decide she's going to win no matter what and don't actually vote.
