New KJ, I have some questions

[The Lone Ranger]

12 days out and the polls are all over the place, it is still better that a 90% chance that Trump has no way to 270 electoral votes, but things could get messy between now and election day. The E-mail leaks have not helped Hillary, especially with the independents. The Democrats have been great at getting the early voting going in their favor, and ironically it is this early voting that might push them over the top. If the election were held today Hillary would win hands down, but like they say a week is a lifetime in politics.

Johnson has thrown in the towel and is throwing support to Hillary which can't be a bad thing. There are rumors of another audio track of the con man making some racial slurs. That might be the next bomb dropped on him. I know that would have little impact on his base but could impact many undecideds.

One thing for sure Trump has no end of arrogance, now he suggests that Hillary's policies are so bad that the election should be over and he should just be given the Presidency? Really just forget about the voting and Democracy and all that other stuff and just appoint him President? This man has no concept of government and should take some heavy duty civics classes before he opens his pie hole again. One thing for sure he thinks of himself as an American Emperor and that he should be worshiped as a God. Beware the Ides of November Donald, more than a few senators are sharpening up the old knives, if you lose you can bet they will shove them into the hilt.

The con man has big dreams of a Trump monarchy. Democracy is the furthest thing from his mind.

You were talking about a October surprise wiseguy but it looks as though Hillary is the one that got surprised. The F.B.I. director has reopened the E-mails once again with just 11 days to go till November 8th. I know he doesn't want to appear biased but really, just in time to save the down ballot Republican candidates while still getting rid of Donald. He releases this information knowing that a full disclosure is not possible before election day. The director should have not made any of this public until he had all the facts.

The FBI has not reopened the email case. James Comey sent a letter to Congress informing leadership that the bureau discovered additional emails related to Hillary's correspondence at the State Department. The emails are not from Hillary herself and are part of an unconnected case (the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal). Comey said that the FBI should take investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information. The AP released a statement that the new emails were not found on Hillary's private server. It's the media and politicians who are releasing false or misleading information.

If you look closely what the FBI is saying, it was investigating an unconnected case, and ran across some e-mails, amount not stated that need more investigation and analysis. That they might hold information that was classified and were communications between Hillary and Anthony Weiner's wife using the laptop he used to commit his alleged crime. What is critical wiseguy is Comey's letters sent to all of the key members of the Senate Judiciary Committee just less than two weeks before the election. It is the appearance of something wrong just when the voters are going to the polling places, and making up their minds. I question is why the FBI Director released these letters at this time, when it will take months for the FBI to make any formal decision about all of this? Despite calls from both parties for full disclosure of this matter. Even though they have not reopened the e-mail case, these e-mails once again bring into the voter's mind a situation that was though by Hillary's side, that this issue was laid to rest.

[wiseguy]

The voters really only need to believe one fact. The new emails did not come from Hillary's private server. I don't think this is going to amount to much. I think Comey is an honest man but even he has to cover his own ass. What do you think would happen if this information came out right after the election. People would be calling for his head on a platter.

Hillary is still on a path to getting her 270 electoral votes, it is just not the 400 blowout that some Democrats have hoped for. Nate Silver said if this does have a negative effect on the Presidential race at worst it lowers Hillary's chances of winning to 68%. Still a better than even money bet you can't even get that at a casino. What I am concerned about is the down ballot races that are close, and of course the toss up states, where Trump and Hillary are running neck and neck. This whole business might cost the Democrats the Senate and with both houses in the Republican camp I wonder how long we will have a 4 to 4 tie in the Supreme Court?

[The Lone Ranger]

I don't know if the e-mails will amount to much wiseguy, but the sheer volume is staggering, it is said there could be as many as 650,000 e-mails on the laptop. They could include the over 30,000 e-mails cleaned off Clinton's computer system. Who has time to send that many e-mails anyway? It also appears Comey had no choice but to release his letter since there was a mutiny of lower FBI officials that might have leaked this story anyway, which would have made things look even worse than they currently do.

[wiseguy]

It seems that people have become numb to the email scandal. They're just tired of hearing about it. In other forums and Facebook groups the Hillary supporters are simply annoyed and the Trump supporters aren't really talking about it that much. Unless they report that they have found some emails that are high security leaks I don't think this story is going to have much effect.

With one week remaining until the election according to the news, the needle has barley moved as far as the Presidential election is concerned. It is the down ballot races that seem to be going more towards the Republicans. The Senate that was in danger of being flipped to the Democrats seems less likely now. The House will remain in control of the Republicans as well. The idea that the Republicans will act as a check to Hillary seems to gaining acceptance. There will be no new information coming out about the e-mails between now and election day, since the investigation is not far enough along. The seed was planted not with the intention of effecting the race, as much as protecting the integrity of the FBI. It has,however, effected the down ballot races and will probably result in more gridlock in Washington. One interesting idea injected into this election is the independent candidate in Utah Evan Mcmullin. If he wins all of Utah's electoral votes go to him. If Clinton and Trump end with a 266 to 266 tie. Then the election is thrown to the House, and both sides out of disgust for Hillary and Trump could select the Utah candidate, wild idea yeah. This is the longest of long shots, but wouldn't it be ironic after all of this someone out of left field ends up as President?

Six days left and the momentum seems to be with Trump, even though Hillary has a commanding lead in the electoral college. Trump is finally staying on message and Hillary has had to play defense. One advantage she has is the early vote which she has banked especially in Florida, there is no path for Trump if he loses Florida, that is why he is spending so much time there today. Trump hopes he can pick off Michigan or Wisconsin but they are both long shots. Hillary has spend six figures on ads in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, and other states that are her strongholds. She doesn't want to make the mistake Kerry made in 2004 of leaving 20 million dollars in the campaign account and losing the election. She is having a problem with low voter turn out in the Black communities, post Obama let down for this demographic group. I predicted a close one we just have to wait and see who shows up to vote.

Five days and counting, a slew of new polls show race is getting tighter, this is where the ground game becomes very important. Getting out the vote and making sure your support shows up to the polling places. This is where the Democrats have the advantage, what Trump is banking on is a massive hidden group of white working class former Democrats going for him. Whether this group exists and that they will show up to vote is still unknown? It is a pretty safe bet that minority groups will probably support Hillary especially the Latinos. One group that I hear little about is the Asian community, they have been trending towards the Democrats, but I have heard little this election cycle about them?

[wiseguy]

The race tightening at this stage is very typical. Many national polls had Obama and Romney virtually tied at this point in 2012. It will be interesting to see what develops over the weekend.
