My October Surprise prediction

Some type of agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Jareds been incognito lately.

Announcement is made with much fanfare. Media herald it as greatest thing since FDR sat down with Churchill and Stalin.

Details not available. Under audit by the State Department.

Find out later that we've agreed to launch airstrikes against Iran, and given Israel all of Palestinian land.

Putin would gladly give up Tehran if it helps keep a Russian asset in the White House. Besides, it would easily allow Putin to install his own regime in Iran

The only October surprise is that they thought Rudy's October Boobyprize would work.

don't think he is cooking up another mideast peace deal since he and Ivanka are both accompanying T. at all of the rallies probably to monitor his condition and keep him on meds during this crucial 2 weeks.
