They all said...that it is very likely Hillary will win barring some 'weather' or some other disaster. The FBI has been neutered as has WIKI...so have no worries. And we shut the orange fascist down in Nevada.

they're certainly not showing ordinary people
(not those Breitbart reading morons) suddenly

Keep the cash flowing.
