Reading reports of his latest rally it seems any policy or positivity is gone, it's now full-on Breitbart-style Clinton attacks and then moving onto attacking the Republican party for lack of support. Totally unhinged

I have sad confidence that certain elements of his supporter base will go totally unhinged if he loses and resort to violence...no doubt with his encouragement.

Yeh
Good report from a reporter who went to a rally early this week - and wonders what happens after when Trump is gone and the supporters are left :eek:

This election campaign has turned into nothing more than a massive pissing contest.

No issues of any importance have been discussed. I for one am sick of the way debates are moderated.

The debates should last for four hours with a 25 minute break in between. Donald's locker room rhetoric and Hillary's E-mails should be declared no longer a subject to be raised or discussed. What people want are answers to the issues that present problems now and in the future. The candidates should be made to give specific details on how they intend to approach and deal with these problems. Superficial answers wouldn't do. If necessary hammer them with questions even if it reduces them to nervous wrecks. They would have far more stress to deal with if ever they sat in the Oval office

As far as I'm concerned the two debates so far seemed to be aimed at an audience of half wits and not a nation of thinking, knowledgeable voters

So much for Trump claiming not to have practiced what he preached:

"About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt."

It's not 'rhetoric' - locker room or elsewhere
It's sexual assualt - a criminal act - as just reported online by NYTimes (with video of 1 of his victims describing the alleged behaviour).

In fairness to him, he has no chance of any reasonable vetting of any of these allegations before the election, so this is unfortunate for him. But having said that, I don't think I've ever seen a person more likely to be guilty, and I hope this utterly sinks him, both for the election, and his career in the future.

This is why "October surprises" should generally be downplayed. But things get a little murky when you have a candidate specifically saying late in the game "I didn't do x" when there is evidence out there that he did.

Verbal sexual assault which back in 2005 had he been an employee he would have been fired on the spot
