The fact remains that now everyone is informed of foul play and that is obviously going to deter some voters. It's sad that you can't look at things holistically but I will try and break it down for you one more time. Hillary is struggling because:

1. Democrat establishment colluded against Bernie
2. Hillary's camp slandered Bernie supporters
3. Hillary's platform simply does not compare to Bernie's. They are completely different candidates.

Comprende?

I have my opinion you have your opinion

I see we're back to Bernie brats pretending that Bernie didn't lose by 4 million votes. Stop coddling these people and work on enthusing the base.

It's sad honestly, paranoia really got the best of them. At least I know who to block.

Hillary has great policies. She just needs to make her ads and Twitter actually discuss those policies and not her opponent. People need to look at her Twitter and view a serious politicians not someone lowering herself to a clown's level. Maybe then the medias will give her speeches more coverage. The "Trump is bigoted" narrative ain't working anymore.

Let's not act as if people are voting for Jill because Hillary's policies suck. Jill literally is the worst candidate in history and I say that because she's a career candidate at this point. Her platform is embarrassingly laughable and everything about her is laughable. She's to the left what Trump is to the right. Difference is the left has smarter people.

[Lord Blackout]

I mean her Twitter account is funnier than Trump parody accounts and that's saying something.

First off: Voting third-party might ruin the election and besides both the Libertarians and the Green Party failed to qualify for the first debate, anyway.

Second off, the first debate practically means the process that we all have been waiting for begins!

There's so much wrong with this post... The first being that there is no fact that there was foul play. There are facts showing that people high up in the Democratic Party wanted Hillary to win. Nothing suggests votes were altered or voter fraud took place. Hillary won by almost 4 million votes. She won, nothing is changing that.

Onto your numbered points.

1) Democratic establishment wanted the Democrat, shocking. Call the police.
2) Bernie's camp slandered Hillary supporters as mindless and blind idiots that only voted for her for her vagina. Bernie even tried to disregard the significance of southern states. Next?
3) They voted 93% identically while in the Senate together. Hillary has adopted plenty from Bernie's campaign to make sure that his supporters were heard by her. Bernie has also endorsed her platform and candidacy, so I'll take her opinion over some bitter soul on ATRL.

President Obama just gave a great speech to the Congressional Black Caucus. Basically saying he will take it as a personal insult if you voted for him and do not get out to vote for HRC.

At this point Hillary Clinton needs to drive her ideas and policies home and not focus on Trump at all. There will be plenty of opportunity to have a go at him directly at the debates! I hope her and her campaign use this method from this point forward.

Obama needs to stop with that nonsense. Let Hillary sell her policies, no black person under the age of 35 is going to be guilt tripped (by the CBC of all things, lmao) into voting for her.

And why are we still discussing Bernie? He hasn't been a factor for 3 months now.

I like how Bernie is pushing the third party narrative. He IS a third party and ran as one in local and state elections. And he switched to Democrat when he ran for president.

He's basically telling his supporters that Clinton should get the POTUS vote and third parties need to build more support from the bottom-up first like he did! Will it work? Who knows at this point.

I complain about this too - that there needs to be more of a policy push. But then I really wonder, is this election really about policies at this point? Clinton could give the speech of her career about a policy and it would get coverage for about ten minutes, the impact of the tweet would be minimal, the attention would be limited.

I think the right approach would be a compare and contrast mix of this is what Trump says and wants but this is my vision.

Her tweets and speeches really began getting similar attention (though not nearly enough) as Trump once she began roasting him, but I there definitely needs to be a careful shift to her vision and policies as well now that we're in the home stretch.

To be fair to Obama, though he clearly is advocating for Hillary's behalf (which she did as well when he was a candidate btw), his emphasis was on ensuring that you voted and not sitting out of the election. I don't see that as guilt tripping.

Missouri Senate race:

Still, there are signs that this race could be different. Although Blunt hasn’t done much to alienate conservative voters, he’s also relatively anonymous, with few major accomplishments that could endear him to Missourians and help him weather attacks. Furthermore, he faces a stiff challenge from Kander, a young Afghanistan veteran who has demonstrated his campaign chops with competitive fundraising and powerful ads, especially this must-see spot in favor of background checks where he assembles a rifle while blindfolded.

As an incumbent in a fairly red state, Blunt still has the edge, but it’s no longer quite as difficult to see him losing. Consequently, we’re changing our race rating from Likely Republican to Lean Republican.

It seems donations have been pouring in since Kander's ad aired and GOP has a reserve of millions, but didn't start using it until now.

C'mon, Kander

STEADY: Hillary +2 In First Post-Pneumonia Poll

Hillary Clinton’s bout with pneumonia hasn’t hurt her standing among voters likely to cast a ballot in 2016, as the former secretary of state has maintained her lead over Donald Trump in a four-way matchup.

Clinton is beating Trump 42 percent to 40 percent among likely voters, according to a Morning Consult poll conducted this week. She leads Trump among registered voters by one percentage point, 39 percent to 38 percent. Before the health scare — and nearly collapsing in public — Clinton was up 41-39. The new poll suggests Clinton might be winning back voters from third-party candidate Gary Johnson, whose support has declined from 10 percent to 8 percent.

Still, the electorate is not terribly pleased with its choices in November. It might be the largest case of buyer’s remorse in recent American political history. Forty-three percent of Republicans say Donald Trump was not the best pick to be the party’s nominee, while 41 percent of Democrats say the same of Hillary Clinton, a stunning level of regret in the electorate with 51 days until Election Day.

So here are some differences in state campaigning that I saw a Pennsylvanian and Floridian post to each other:

One thing I would like to see is Clinton ignoring Trump for a bit and telling us what she wants to do. Out loud. Often. And in commercials. The only thing running in PA are Clinton's anti-Trump ads. That's fine--and she's killing it here--but I can't help but think she's attract more flies with honey.

-In Florida, she's been telling us about her plan for alternative energy and supporting American business. If you're not in a swing state, you might not see these.
