I Hope That We As Democrats Are Feeling GREAT About The GE
Note: Nervous Nellie, concern trolls, "don't get complacent" pearl clutchers need read no further.
For the rest of us, we should be pleased as punch that we are in the position we are in a scant 38 days out from the election.
This has been a spectacularly successful week for Hillary and an even more-disastrous week for Trump and the inconsequential third-party poseurs. The polls all show a dramatic turn away from Trump and towards Hillary. With a little over a month left in the campaign, candidates are being selected by the electorate, positions are firming up, and with the onset of early voting, results are beginning to be baked into the election. No matter how well Trump does from here on in, a large percentage of the electorate has made up their minds - they cannot and will not support him.
Those voters contemplating voting third party have had their world shaken by the embarrassingly pathetic performance of Gary Johnson over the past weeks. His support will plummet next week, which may well free Bill Weld to come out and endorse Hillary.
Kudos to Team Clinton for running a truly unconventional campaign that has effectively used Trump against himself in the stretch. It has been a remarkable pivot for a campaign that was ready to mount an an extension of the winning issues-oriented campaign that was successfully run against Bernie Sanders. When Team Hillary realized that the media had no interest in issues, it changed gears and used their obsession with- and excuses for - Trump against them and Trump himself, giving them the personality based campaign they wanted to cover, but controlling that campaign brilliantly.
It's been a hard-won, intelligent campaign from Team Clinton. If Hillary's debate performance and this week's post-debate extension is any indication of the strategy and tactics waiting to be unleashed on Trump and the media, we are in excellent, excellent position to make history in but a few weeks.
Ask yourself: would you trade places with the Rs at this point? Didn't think so.

And I agree with him, except I've graduated to being "cautiously optimistic." But I hear what you're saying about the pearl-clutchers and concern trolls.
