Let's be clear. Article says she will win. Plenty of facts in article too.

(15,424 posts)Condensing that to "softening" to make a shorter subject title for a post here is hardly grounds for declaring someone has "revealed" themselves. Those phrases both mean essentially the same thing.
Yes, there are real trolls out there, but this kind of hypersensitivity to slim perceived evidence, followed by quick and nasty snap judgment, is neither fair nor necessary.
...when Solids go to Leans and Leans to Toss-ups, that is "softening." I am a Hiilary supporter but the numbers are the numbers.

(14,178 posts)If this election dragged on for yet another month, or even a couple of weeks, Trump could very well be on top. As it is, I think it will be close. Almost everyone here would never NOT vote for Hillary, the same determination is evident in the other camp. But there are a whole lot of ignorant idiots that get up each morning with less and less retention of past news events, and if enough time has past after some bombshell (like the bus tapes) and enough apologists have softened the story and/or created a false equivalency with the other candidates husbands behaviour to cloud the issue, and a new story (like the FBI finding 'new' emails) allows Trump and his surrogates to then falsify it further into announcing an inevitable indictment, then things can alter swiftly. Its all about what news stories, or invented scandals, are being discussed the day before most people go out and vote that will affect this mushy uniformed lot on the fence.
