The pivot was done too late and in a very stupid way and many Latinos are like "we don't believe you". Same thing with African Americans, especially with that comment about what happened in Chicago...Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

The problem (not for the first time) is that the Republicans are smearing the **** out of her with everything they can, and trying to claim she has serious brain injuries from her concussion back in the SoS days amongst many other things. That stuff is almost certainly bull****, but there were a few worrying mentions in the emails between her staff about 'confusion'.
Just a reminder by the way, we're not part of the campaign race here, we can discuss this stuff without jumping to 'LOOK HOW BAD THE OTHER GUY IS!!'. Most of us here think they both basically suck anyway.

And her health report, while only a couple of pages, was indeed released... and is far more complete than what we know about Trump. His doctor basically was paid to write up something and he admitted that he did it in five minutes.
Republicans have been trying this for three decades. They didn't like her from day one. They hated her the moment they saw her. There is something about Hillary that pisses them off. As far as the emails, I didn't really see anything there. Confusion? Well, when you have a job that requires extensive travel, extensive work and so forth... that can happen to anyone of any age. Those emails were incredibly vague.
She seems quite lucid to me whenever I see her talking. I'll take that just fine.
She is alright in my book... could have we done better? Maybe. But she is the one running and that is all there is to say. Suck? Not really. She's not wonderful, but I think she'll do just fine as President.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Empty bleachers and a hostile student body greeted Trump vice presidential nominee Mike Pence in Virginia on Saturday at one of the most religiously conservative schools in the country.
Daily comedy.
Mike Pence went to a very conservative private Christian college. He was greeted with protests and empty seats. Nobody wanted him there and most of the student body was openly hostile.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Game over for Trump, but I still feel like there is another big twist coming in this ****show. Like Trump realizes he has no chance, and takes John Oliver's advice, but he waits to drop out until it is too late to get a replacement Republican candidate on the ballot. Hillary wins in a landslide, but for her entire presidency Trump tweets about how her election was illegitimate due to the lack of an opponent. Basically, turns the whole thing into Obama/birth certificate all over again. Sad!The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.

Trump's own behavior of regarding his rally attendance higher than polling and that tour stops in Jackson, MS are warranted because he draws big numbers there suggest that they aren't at all serious about winning a general election. They are serious about fluffing Trump's ego and believe their views are self evidently correct and true enough to sway voters they absolutely need to win.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

I don't think he has even spent money on ground teams to help drive turnout. He has only spent on a few badly misplaced TV advertisements.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

For Trump, campaign donations are a new potential income stream. He is trying to figure out the best way to turn them into personal income. When he does that, his campaign spending will increase exponentially. My prediction is that by the end of November, his campaign will be deeply in debt and that its biggest creditor will be Trump Inc.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Even Warren Buffett grilled him on that.

So, do terrible business decisions = stupidity?
It all depends on what your goals are.
If you're a narcissistic ass that thrives on exposure maybe some of those decisions were part of his plan.
Good god man, he's a democrat that was able to win the other parties nomination. He's obviously done something right.
And it's still great theater. The man is going to remembered for a long time. Which I'm sure was part of the grand plan.
I agree with you that it was never his desire to win.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Donald Trump has directed nearly one-fifth of his campaign cash to companies that are part of his vast business empire, new federal records show.
He's paid almost $11 million to Trump organizations since launching his campaign a year ago.
So, as of June, 17% of campaign finances were being paid to his own companies.
Given he's largely self-funded, you could say so what, but he could seek to recoup some losses out of the republican donors pot.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.
