Most Americans think Clinton will win debate

“The kind of cheating Trump envisions on a mass scale is virtually impossible to pull off – including in states that don’t require the showing of a photo ID”, The Christian Science Monitor reported last month. They’re struggling to decide which is the lesser of two evils.

Larry Sabato is director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. By contrast, he found 14 per cent of Clinton statements he studied reached that level, which he said was typical of most politicians. Nearly all said they were still open to persuasion by both candidates.

That’s why many election officials, both Democrat and Republican, have emerged to contest Trump’s allegations. Can we trust them with life-or-death decisions? “Even in such states, to vote 10 or 15 times, one would have to go to 10 or 15 different polling places and provide the names and addresses of people who live in those precincts and had not yet voted”. “I couldn’t imagine a better sign of faith or trust than that”. “You have a fan”, he said. “Because you need to protect yourself, you need to keep steady, but at the same time you don’t want to seem ‘walled off, ‘” she wrote in the post. “He’s just such a wild cannon”, said Barbara Kass, 62, a retired airline employee who is completely undecided. I think voters really saw that difference and they saw that only one candidate is really.the only criticism that they have for hc is that she didn’t smile enough. “If Trump doesn’t show something more coherent”.

But there’s just one problem – there’s been very little evidence of voter fraud in the US. Most, of course, won’t say this explicitly (though some do), but – as the wildly adored Krugman column from yesterday reflects – they will just reflexively dismiss any such coverage as illegitimate and invalid.

“You have your own plan?” asked Lauer.

What did she mean by trust? “And it’s a shame”.

Nevertheless, Gramling said, she was leaning toward Clinton. Krugman authored a column on Monday before the debate whingeing that the media have been too hard on Clinton.

Asked to describe the Democratic nominee as a member of their family, the most frequent choice was “stepmother” – a loveless relationship.

When Hart asked how the voters would finally make up their minds, he was met with mostly blank looks. “It’s going to have to be the debates”, said Locher. “Tone it down”, said Schneider. The kid gloves treatment she got from the Federal Bureau of Investigation – no recordings, allowing aide and co-conspirator Cheryl Mills in the interview – confirm the impression, created by the intended-to-be-secret meeting of Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch days before, that the fix was in.

What can Clinton do?

“I have a whole section devoted to veterans’ mental health”, she said.

Clinton was also asked about the nuclear deal with Iran and whether Tehran was “playing us” and about her previous comments in which she said she thinks Iran will “cheat”.

Lauer, trying to find humour in his situation, made a knowing reference during an interview with comic Dana Carvey on Thursday. Aides fear a scenario in which a single misstep by Clinton gets a tougher assessment than repeated mistakes by Trump.
