I think he is trying to cover his ass.
He can't be trusted with the nuclear codes. But Hillary's the dangerous one?
If he is elected, everyone should fear the Apocalypse.
At least we know that Trump will actually take that "3:00 a.m. call".

What a coincidence, if "by some miracle" Hillbilly were to win, that's exactly how those of us who see right through her will be feeling for the country.
Because he'll already be up having a Twitter war with a former beauty pageant contestant while he's sitting on the toilet?

Still a better option than covering up that you left 4 diplomatic core employees to die with a bold face lie that it was all because of a movie.
Hillary will win. There's no doubt in my mind. If you seriously think Trump has a chance, you're deluding yourself.
Whatever. It won't change a thing.

LOL, and your tin foil hat paranoia about a nuclear apocalypse if Trump wins "won't change a thing" either.

Too bad that meter of yours can't detect the real bs.

Right, that's so much more frightening than wide open borders, unprotected embassies, secret pay to play meetings, SC justices that support late third term abortions, and hacked classified emails.

Early Voting Data Shows African-American Turnout Dropping
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/31/early-voting-african-american-turnout/
In North Carolina, early voting by African-Americans is sharply down, so “you will see a very heavy push in this state for the African-American vote by Hilary Clinton to try to make up some of deficit,” said Michael Bitzer, a professor of politics and history at Catawba College, in Salisbury, N.C.
In Ohio, the decline of early voting in heavily Democratic African-American districts is causing worry for Democrats — and a shift of resources into the low-turnout areas. Hillary Clinton, according to the Blade newspaper, “returns to Ohio on Monday with early-vote rallies planned in Cleveland and Cincinnati, and President Obama will rally in Columbus on Tuesday, also to encourage that early-vote turnout.”
In Florida, “the bad news for Clinton/good news for Trump is that African-Americans and millenials are voting considerably lighter — so far – than four years ago,” the Tampa Bay Times reported Oct. 31.

Poll: Clinton Maintains National Lead Over Trump Despite FBI Letter
Hillary Clinton's 6-point national lead over Donald Trump remains virtually unchanged since last week, even after FBI Director James Comey announced the discovery of emails that could be "pertinent" to the investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.

Hillary Clinton's 6-point national lead over Donald Trump remains virtually unchanged since last week, even after FBI Director James Comey announced the discovery of emails that could be "pertinent" to the investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.
- The NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll showed Clinton with a 6-point lead over Trump in the days prior to the Comey news. When looking at the data for Saturday and Sunday only, her lead remained the same — 47 percent to Trump's 41 percent. The poll was conducted online from October 24 through October 30. Questions about Comey's announcement were included on October 29 and October 30.
- The Democratic nominee — as well as several prominent party leaders—expressed confusion and anger with the announcement. When asked whether she thought the news would affect the election, Clinton said, "I think people made up their minds a long time ago."
- Likely voters were split on whether they thought the controversial announcement by the FBI was an important issue to discuss or more of a distraction to the campaign. A slight majority of likely voters nationwide—55 percent—said it was an important issue. Forty-four percent said the news was more of a distraction to the campaign.
- Perhaps expectedly, there were sharp differences in opinion by party. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters, 83 percent said Comey's announcement was a distraction. Among Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, 93 percent said the announcement was an important issue to discuss. Among likely Independent voters who do not lean towards either party, 68 percent said it was an important issue to discuss while 31 percent said it was a distraction to the campaign.
- With the election just eight days away, Clinton campaign officials and other party leaders have called for further details about the announcement. But while a slight majority of likely voters overall said the announcement is important to discuss, support for Clinton and Trump remained unchanged.

FBI Making Inquiry Into Ex-Trump Campaign Manager's Foreign Ties
The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort's foreign business connections, law enforcement and intelligence sources told NBC News Monday.
The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort's foreign business connections, law enforcement and intelligence sources told NBC News Monday.
- Word of the inquiry, which has not blossomed into a full-blown criminal investigation, comes just days after FBI Director James Comey's disclosure that his agency is examining a new batch of emails connected to an aide to Hillary Clinton.
- And it comes a day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Comey's revelation and asserted that Comey possesses "explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government."
- The FBI did not comment. Manafort told NBC News "none of it is true ... There's no investigation going on by the FBI that I'm aware of." He said he had never had ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, or had dealings with Putin and his government. He said any suggestion of such ties was "Democratic propaganda."
- "This is all political propaganda, meant to deflect," he said.
- NBC News reported in August that Manafort was a key player in multi-million-dollar business propositions with Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs — one of them a close Putin ally with alleged ties to organized crime — which foreign policy experts said raised questions about the pro-Russian bent of the Trump candidacy.

Yaaawwwn, care as much about this as you seem to care about a SOS and her husband selling access to the highest bidder to fatten their personal bank accounts.
You seem to be confused. It doesn't matter what you care about. Any more than it matters what I care about. It does matter, however, what the undecided voters will think when and if this story gets traction in the media.
I do find it amazing that the Trump campaign's ties to Russia don't bother you at all, although I'm not surprised in the least.
