Wasn't it a month ago that we were lead to believe that this was an 8 point Clinton lead, and she had the election wrapped up?

Poof!

An empty suit channeling P.T. Barnum and every demagogue that drew a crowd won't release tax documents that would prove he is a fraud, yet he has a rabid fan base of gullible fools.
Nothing that happens around Hillz is going to change him into a Presidential intellect, and as unlikely as Hillz could be redeemed by the office, it is far more likely with her than him.
I'll take that chance.

I still think the majority of the US has sense. That in the end HRC will win.

But then again "W" won once......

I still have a Passport and family in PEI Canada.......

Wiki leaks "drip, drip", plus the feeling, which is Americana, that if you are a target of the FBI, then you are inherently corrupt, bad, dirty and therefore not good for the country.

I'm definitely heading in the opposite direction, choosing the "unknown versus the known". The last couple months has been an appropriate reminder of what 8 years of "Clinton 1" was like, and what "Clinton 2" would likely bring.

Still undecided between P.T. Barnum and the "geographically - challenged" candidate, but IMHO either are better than the likely constant barrage of ethical and judgement lapses that would accompany another Clinton administration.

The FBI was never an issue until Hillary made them an issue. It all starts with her (purposeful?) lapse in judgement.

Russia was never an issue in this election until Hillary made them an issue. Sure, the hackers got to the DNC email system, but if there was no active effort by the DNC to throw in in Hillary, there would never have been anything noteworthy for the hackers to post. Then to publicly blame another government for interfering in the election with scant evidence was just a stupid thing to do.

If she gets elected, she's going to start with a compromised relationship with the FBI, and with Russia. Not good.

I disagree. Comey using FBI as a platform added to Hillary's woes, twice within this past year by holding unconventional press conferences.

Well, if she never made the ill-informed (or purposefully non-transparent) decisions that she made, Comey never have a reason to "use the FBI as a platform".

She reaps what she sews. She made of her own lapses in judgement / ethics, and she owns the consequences.
