Related: About this forumWhy is Michael Moore saying Trump will win?
I know we dems are gloom and doom. Moore says its because people are economically hurting even though the polls say Trump supporters are not the ones hurting.
Is he just being a jack-ass?

(24,396 posts)So he wins either way: if Trump by some disaster wins, Moore gets to say "I warned you." When Trump loses, Moore gets to say, "I helped keep up the pressure to get out the vote."
It's actually a gutless, cowardly position to take at this point in the election. His only goal here is to polish his own turd and stay relevant in a country that is actually pretty happy with the way things are going.

I agree with that assessment somewhat, but I can't stand Tweety. He doesn't interrupt creeps like Kellyanne Conway as much as Michael Moore!

He wanted Bernie to win, he think Trump is the worst, and he feels because we didn't nominate Bernie, Trump will win.
He says he wants people to vote for Hillary but keeps saying Trump will win.
He's an idiot who thinks he knows everything.

It is from his one man show trying to convince Trump voters to vote for Hillary. He takes on why some people have sided with Trump, and what that would be like after the election. (a nightmare). He then takes on peoples concerns about Hillary, and why they should vote for her anyway.
Hillary is NOT a perfect candidate. I was a Bernie supporter, but I sure as hell voted for Hillary when I did my Ohio early voting last week.
Moore was right, Ohio has a lot of Trumplanders, and it is going to be close here and Trump may even win Ohio. (bleech!) But the people in the Ohio audience where his movie was filmed, at least a few Trumplanders may have had second thoughts. That may be the most we can hope for from them....
