Be honest, who thought the final "October surprise" would come from James Comey?

I think most people believe he probably used the "n" word so I don't think that would be a bombshell.

(15,262 posts)Miss Finland and Miss Utah both stepping up after Trump said all the women were Hillary setups, what a disaster for Trump.
It is still being covered, but attention has been drawn away by a big nothing burger. But it is their big nothing burger, so much ado and they hope we get sucked into that vortex instead of focusing on the black hole that is Donald Trump's uncountable scandals and crimes. Another shoe will drop, and everyone will look that way next. Trump scandals are on a 2-3 day interval.
Donald Trumps offer of $10,000 and the use of his private jet couldnt turn a porn star into a prostitute.
Jessica Drake whose credits include Sex for Sale and Think Pink claims she rejected the billionaires crude come-ons during a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
This is not acceptable behavior for anyone much less a presidential candidate, the adult film star said ........
..... Trump allowed the attendees to do whatever drugs they wanted, the photographer said. As guests partied hard on coke and top-shelf liquor, the mogul would stroll from room to room and hook up with girls.
He'd wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy," the photographer said. "Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total f---ing beast. .....

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.
Before the show we were photographed outside the building, Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.
I dont think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: What is happening?
Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.
Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger, Laaksonen said. It left me disgusted.

(17,199 posts)[font size="3"]The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet[/font]
by David A. Graham
October 13, 2016
The Trump Foundation
Where and when: Various, 1988-present
The dirt: Though Donald Trump often promises to give to charity, his foundation has proven rather skimpy on the gifts over the yearsand when it has given, the money has often come from other pockets than Trumps, including outside donors and even NBC. In the mid-2000s, Trump reconfigured the charity as a pass-through, soliciting donations from other and then giving the money away as though from himself. It appears that the foundation did not have the requisite legal permission from New York state to gather donations. In a few cases, the foundation also reported making donations it had not made. Theres special scrutiny on one $25,000 donation it did give, to a group supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, which arrived just days before she quashed an investigation into Trump University and the Trump Institute. Trump also appears to have used $258,000 in foundation money, most of it given by other donors and not himself, to settle legal disputes, including donations to charity in lieu of paying fines. Trump directed more than $2 million in income to the foundation, and if he didnt pay taxes on themhis campaign for the most part refused to sayit would be illegal tax-dodging.
The upshot: The foundation may have broken IRS rules on self-dealing by paying to resolve the legal disputes as well as buying a portrait of Trump and a Tim Tebow helmet that went back to the Trump family. On the donation, Trump and Bondi both say there was no quid-pro-quo, but the donation was an illegal one for a charitable nonprofit, and the foundation had to pay a $2,500 fine. Liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington charges other laws may have been broken as well. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has reportedly launched an investigation into the foundation. Schneiderman has also informed the foundation that it is in violation of rules on fundraising and ordered it to quit.
The Cuban Embargo
Where and when: Cuba, 1998-present
The dirt: Although U.S. law prohibits American commercial involvement in Cuba, theres evidence to suggest that the Trump Organization has been active on the island for almost two decades. In 1998, as the Clinton administration loosened some restrictions, Trump scouted business opportunities, and according to documents viewed by Newsweek, spent $68,000 there, likely in violation of the law. More recently, Trump executive have traveled to Cuba in apparent scouting trips for golf resorts, BusinessWeek reports.
The upshot: Trump and his company have not commented in any detail on either report. One Trump executive told BusinessWeek that his travel to Cuba was unrelated to the company, while another associate said hed discussed forming a company with Trump to run golf courses in Cuba. Experts said these activities would all likely fall afoul of current rules.

There's a reason blockbuster campaign surprises receive so much attention. There aren't many of them. They are rare. They don't happen very often.
Now we've got 10 days remaining and we're teased to the point some people are actually expecting that type of rare event to show up. Nope. I'll root for it but I understand the favoritism.
