1. Not likely

His supporters are the loudest bunch. They can't keep their mouths shut about anything. Hillary is more likely to have the silent supporters.

[unblock]

2. he will win a strong majority of non-voters!

[Glamrock]

5. Beat me to it!

3. How many republican voters will sit out this election entirely?

Don't want to vote for HRC but cannot bring themselves to vote for the fascistic pseudo-Republican.

4. Rubbish. A quick glance at the comments on HRC's Facebook posts shows that they are overrun

with Trumpkins gleefully making nuisances of themselves. All they know how to do is attack and destroy.

[Vinca]

6. I think he'll lose a whole lot of votes of people who say they support him.

No one knows which lever you pull in the privacy of the voting booth.

7. The House Is Back in Play = Thank you Donald!!!

The House Is Back in Play

This from a week ago: The House is so much more in play this week than last, it is really remarkable. This was the swiftest shift in political fortunes I've witnessed, a concession of the Presidency race for all practical purposes. But a Clinton victory was going to happen anyway. What has really shifted is the overall picture for the Republican party. Now every candidate has to declare their position on Trump. For Republicans, there is no winning that inevitablity.

What a five-point shift could do = 455-83

8. Denial is not just a river in Africa

[ProfessorGAC]

10. That's Where Is Was Headed, Goth

He's essentially self-immolating and doesn't even feel hot. He's in total denial. And, he's even wrong about Brexit. Nearly every pollster had the vote close. A few were surprised at the margin of yes to no, but most of the polls were accurate to within the margin for error.

So, he lied about that too.

9. "That's because Crooked Hillary and Saturday Night Live are conspiring to rigging the election!"

"And Alec Baldwin is a stupid loser, OK! Because the liberal media lies all the time and works to silence a guy like me! The silent majority will prevail and ultimately elect me, Donald J Trump to become the next commander in chief of the United States. We will build that wall!"

[ProfessorGAC]

11. The Irony Completely Lost On Him

The liberal media works to silence him by giving him a prime time television show. Do i have that straight? He had a prime time television show, with heavy promotion, and the media is working to silence him?

[Initech]

13. I was joking.

It's so easy to make fun of Donald Trump.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. True That!

But, i was poking at him too. So, we'll poke together.

[titaniumsalute]

12. But it is a 2 way street

I know friends and family who are Republicans who won't vote for Trump. A few said they won't vote at all. Some said they might vote for Hillary.

I think many Registered Republicans would respond to a pollster with "Trump" as an answer who they will vote for. But will they really? Maybe they just stay home. Hell, maybe they go into that private little booth and vote for Hillary.

[Runningdawg]

15. If anyone has silent voters in this election

it's Hillary. A lot of women who have been told to vote Trump by their husbands, fathers and pastors, will get some payback in the voting booth.

[Glassunion]

16. Silent Support

[sofa king]

17. Yeah, it's called "vote flipping."

Remember that Donald Trump is so narcissistic that even his attacks are mere reflections of his own self. When he attacks the Clinton Foundation, it's because his own is corrupt. When he demands drug testing before the debates, it's because he's snorting coke.

And when he talks about "secret states" that he plans to win and how the election is "rigged," it's because he knows Republicans are rigging the election, for the tenth election in a row. Sometime shortly after he won the nomination someone told him that the fix was in for Congress but not for him if he didn't toe the Party line. He didn't, and now he's calling foul because he knows there's going to be a massive disparity between votes for him and votes for Republicans in Congress. Not because he disapproves of such a strategy, but because he wants in on it.

No, I don't have a single shred of evidence for this, except perhaps Karl Rove's expression when Ohio didn't go his way in 2012. But you'll see it in the papers a few Wednesdays from now, when your state returns a dozen filthy Republicans and you're asked to believe that ten to twenty percent of all voters chose to gridlock America by voting for Hillary Clinton and Republican Congressmen.

18. He is relying on Putin to hack the voting system, he was prob assured of a win..
