Let's be real, internal polling has been showing similar figures on both sides. Women, particularly suburban women who have been so critical to Republican success in the past, are disgusted by Trump. That's why Republicans are bailing, not because of any faux outrage they may have about the latest Trump scandal.

She probably won't win back the house for dems. She would need to flip 30 seats for that to happen, and even in 2008 Obama couldn't do it. But she could get close

I mean I think me and Damien were saying Trump's bs would backfire. Like there was no way America would ever side with the mistresses instead of the wife. It doesn't work that way

Just like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. @HillaryClinton went high and showed why she'll be a POTUS for all Americans.

Obama must be so proud of his wife

So prior to September, I didn't have too much knowledge about either candidate, pretty much just knew what was fed to me on social media: Trump was racist/sexist/xenophobic etc and that Hillary was a war criminal who compromised our countries national security. Because of this, I was one of those people who thought this election was just a choice between lesser of two evils, and that that's how hillary would win (which was fine and what I preferred to Trump's bigotry anyway.)
The past 2 months, however, I've actually looked into both candidates and found that this isn't a choice between the lesser of 2 evils.. this is a choice between a tempermental, ignorant, compulsive liar with the patience and respect of a toddler, or a woman with a career spanning three decades of public service in which she has accomplished so many great things, (some of which people aren't even aware that she's behind in spite of them benefitting from it) evaded criticisms, accusations, and conspiracy theories from her detractors, and overcome major personal obstacles including the impeachment of her husband after his multiple exposed affairs. This is a choice between a strong, intelligent, capable candidate, or a buffoon. And I'm glad I know that now.
Sorry for the wall, just really wanted to share that. Some people who may think Hillary is just as bad as Trump who are reading this however, I urge you to do your research and come to your own conclusions. You just might be surprised!

Yup and they don't want to be attached to it.
If he was leading in the polls, it would be a much different story.
I hope Trump does some good on his way out and finishes destroying the republican party at least.

Hillary Clinton is so horrible. But sadly, I'm pretty sure that she's going to be the next US president.
Now I just hope that her health forces her to resign and Tim Kaine takes charge. This man is so much more acceptable as POTUS to me tbh.

But internal ones worse? . I hope more tapes slowly leak

Trump can win the next debate by a landslide and Hillary would still win the election, so go ahead and take pride in your candidate. Do it while you still can. You've got less than a month left before It all comes to an end.

Remember that Dems took control of the House in 2006, though, so these were gains on top of that.
And that N-word tape is sure to leak. We know it exists, I wouldn't be surprised if someone has it already.

True so they never had to do much anyway. Makes sense. I do hope she campaigns with Bernie more and take back the house so they can actually pass their progressive agenda.
