How come the October Surprise always helps the repugs

[brettdale]

So this year is the FBI.

I dont remember in my lifetime a October Surprise helping the dems.

Also I might be starting to get worried, only 2% between them nationally, and Trump
having a 6 point lead out west.

Dems have been really quiet, and we are what day six now of 24/7 coverage of emails by
the MSM.

This could go either way.

1. Hillary

Doing real well in early voting in NV Ralston said trump in bad shape We are ahead in FL as well .. GOTV !!

2. W's drunk driving conviction

Remember when the notion that a presidential candidate having a DUI was a big deal?

3. Bush's DUI in 2000…

…plus, we may well have an October Surprise of our own in about 90 minutes.

Also, WHAT Trump "6 point lead out west"…?

4. Because they're the crooks who gin them up

There have been plenty of them that should have scuttled the Trump campaign but the M$M won't report them honestly, or at all.

5. Because when Republicans do bad things...

it is not a surprise.

6. 1992

Cap Weinberger indicted for Iran/Contra 4 days before election. Many attributed this to Bill Clinton winning that election. He was pardoned by Bush as he was walking out the door.


Edited to add time frame.

7. Because Dems don't like to fight dirty

Something something taking the high road, blah blah blah.

Yeah, that's working out real well for us.

8. When you own the media, you get to determine which stories get high visibility

Why Hillary's emails and not Trump's fraud and rape? Ask the guy who owns the media.

9. Like the Cap Weinberger indictment in 1992?

Or the GWB drunk driving report in 2000?

The world is not a conspiracy theory.
