Other then FNC..........some of these leaks that aren't receiving coverage, on paper, would have been enough to sink her if she was up against Bush or Rubio

Nail. Head. Hammer....... I can't see the head of the FBI writing such a letter, just before the election, if "nothing" was found.......from what I understand, he came forward to protect his own bacon out of threat of the additional emails being leaked by FBI investigators on the Wiener case............funny that the wife of the FBI lead investigator of the Clinton emails mess received money from a Clinton donor for a State Senate race........... Time to drain the swamp..........and lock her up.

The final nail is suppose to be released by Wikileaks next week...........I'm surprised this "leak" didn't get more coverage.

Why would I do that? I'm not even defending him over what I consider "sexual bravado".......I don't like the guy.......I don't let such remarks get me bent out of shape though.

Sure, on paper, but I highly doubt of the last dozen or so Presidents (absent maybe Carter, Nixon and Bush the elder) that much has changed in terms of "sexual bravado" among other men......Trump is just more pronounced and got caught.........It would have been interesting to transpose JFK and RFK into today's 24/7 media cycle. I'd liken that to being subjective to ones own self and circle of family, friends and acquaintances.......off color sexual "bravado" is as taboo and offensive to some as racist and dark humored jokes....to others its old hat, funny or it is what it is......bullshit, no more worth the consumption of thought then rumors and astrology.

Right, and that would make sense, if only a handful of more recent polls show Trump leading/tied, it wouldn't be as distinct on Silver's aggregate.......I liken it to the polls after the first debate, it took until the end of the week after the debate for Trump's polling to match his awful performance.

No, Trump bullshitted about "sexual assault", then when pressed by Anderson Cooper during the debate, said it didn't happen.......Trump wouldn't be the first male to bs with other males about encounters with women.......ergo Trump isn't a rapist......a slimeball sure, but not a "rapist" until proven otherwise.

Doesn't FiveThirtyEight use data from Rasmussen? I would assume if this were the first poll complied fully after the debate this would be the first to show a new trend.....if this poll is to be taken as gospel, other polls over the next few days will confirm (or deny) this "shift".......and then FiveThirtyEight will follow suit.

You can add a second poll that shows Trump with a slight lead over Clinton (within margin of error), with their polling early this week showing a big Clinton lead after the Trump tape was released last week.......and this is the first poll taken fully with data after the 2nd debate (That the experts say Trump lost).

As I said, a roll of a dice with Trump, combined with the natural economic reaction to his view on protectionism.........versus Clinton's policies that are reliant on credit based debt (with low or no interest) and never ending growth..... So have I.........the ones enacted by Bill Clinton and what would be continued by Hillary Clinton......you know, the ones that caused the financial crisis...

Oh........you mean like Clinton get hundreds of millions from Wall Street and in exchange lets them set regulatory policy? Her economic policy is akin to a cancer treatment that includes smoking and a diet of gas station meat..... As to Trump, his protectionist policies will likely deflate the economy to such a point that a debt bubble won't be a problem.

Bill Clinton signed it into law......Hillary wants to continue with it And the following Democratic Administration continued reflating the economic bubble through a fire fueled by public money.....And Hillary wants to continue with this, well handing the regulatory reigns to Wall Street.......and you think this is a good idea? Yup.......he signed it into law, and his wife wants to continue with said policies...... Good... little to no policy is better then restarting the bubble over again..... I don't prefer either......but separating commercial and investment banking is a good start......if people want to continue to play the markets I'm fine with that, but any failings (including those of the investment banks) shouldn't result in the little guy, who's not playing the game, loosing his house..... Clinton's policies will return us to another eventual failure.......Trump's? Who knows, but in this case I'd rather the devil I don't know.....

That, combined with the CFMA.....both supported by Clinton. Seeing as he signed into law......well yah. What question? Allowing Commercial and investment banks to comingle risk was the cause.....Bubba Clinton allowed it, and Hillary Clinton wants a redux......and you point to two "professionals" that support such an idiotic idea as being in the know......I'd rather roll the Trump dice.

You're going to agree with two money mongers that don't feel the 2007/08 financial crisis was caused by the Clinton administration's repealing of Glass-Steagall in 1999? It should be no surprise that this Clinton, per Wikileaks, feels Wall Street is best posed to fix Wall Street on its own, sans pesky Government regulations

Straight from the Kremlin? Is it possible, maybe even probable, that Trump has in his employ staffers, researchers and speech writers, that instead of receiving said information via the SVR, could have obtained it through Google or another internet search engine?

Not at all, I dislike Trump nearly as much as I do the Clintons.......if I were voting in this election I would hold my nose and vote Trump simply based on policies he has alluded too, versus the corrupt and dishonest Clinton(s)........of the two crappy choices, I'd liken the global instability of the Obama years to continue in a Clinton administration, hence making it more likely if anyone was to have their finger on the button it would be Clinton.

You don't think alleged impropriety between the Clintons, the Clinton Foundation, MF Global and Teneo holdings is significant? Or one of the senior operating officers of the Clinton Foundation threatening to kill herself over dealings with Bubba?

You read all the emails? I haven't.

I wouldn't call it one sided or his own strategy.......in the past both sides relied on Super PACs and the media to go after families and friends etc......the difference now, Trump does his own dirty work running the mud-cannon.

in response to Cooper's third follow up Trump clearly said "not at all"........seems pretty clear to me.

I see Wikileaks has just released another batch of emails on Clinton, her family and ties with Wall Street...

To you and ~45% of the American people.

He did pretty clearly last night when Anderson Cooper (as a follow-up) asked exactly that.

During the Primaries I likened Trump to a modern day P.T. Barnum......I still have that opinion of him, but, after tonight's debate, I'll add, Trump is a political Harry Houdini......Teflon Don, after tonight's performance, is back in this dumpster fire......Clinton looked frustrated and off message, due in part to Trump and Wikileaks.....likewise, the bias in the moderators seemed more pronounced, Anderson Cooper gasped after Trump wiggled out of the line of questioning over the "Trump sexual assault caught on tape"... Trump didn't look rattled, still had that weird nasal sniff, and seemed more calm and prepared. Clinton seemed caught off guard by Trump wiggling out of the "sex tape" and going on the attack with so many different issues....at times she looked flabbergasted......if Wikileaks didn't get the coverage it deserved due to the leaked Trump tape over the weekend, it will going forward.......Clinton even confirmed some of the Wikileaks content by acknowledging that she held public and private (see behind closed doors) positions, likening it to Abe Lincoln.....

That is an issue for some, for sure, but I wouldn't call Clinton's failings immaterial......Trump is a scumbag without a doubt, but so too were many past "great" presidents. Clinton's failings relate to her judgement though her tenure in Government. The prospect of Trump leading the most powerful nation on the planet are a risky unknown, verses Clinton, an abject failure beset with poor choices (and backroom dealings and influence peddling?)...... Trump might have screwed with a few women.....The Clintons have screwed with a nation with the World's largest nuclear arsenal. I do agree with your last point though, if the GOP had of selected a Rubio or a Bush they would be long on their way....
