Still voting for Jill Stein, yes I know she wont win and a vote for a third party is either a vote for trump or a vote for Clinton depending on if you're talking to a right winger or left winger. Bla bla bla, well whatever I know my vote on state issues will mean more than my presidency vote anyways.

The more I think about it, its the perfect setup! They are getting everyone ready for something to happen and the timing is odd - the exact day before the election? I'm starting to get scared to even go out and vote. Over 50% of people are thinking something is going to happen the day of the election.

Something will likely happen regardless of who is elected, too many crazies on both sides.

Trump's final pitch to close the deal.


Here is Scott Adams' analysis of this Trump ad from the point of view of political persuasion:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/1527476012 ... the-closer

"I had been wondering if Trump was planning some sort of special closing argument. He did not disappoint. In my opinion, his final ad is the political ad of the year, if not the best ever."

He goes through a series of points about the ad that support his assessment. Good analysis for political junkies, writers, and public speakers.

A person with a gun asking who people are voting for shouldn't be at ANY election spot, period. It's none of his business who people are voting for, and it is intimidation.

I expect more of these types of incidents to pop up in the next few days. Hopefully some psycho doesn't shoot someone else over who they voted for. But its not like house or senate has the guts to do anything for gun control. :roll:

Thank goodness Hillary Clinton's supporters have maintained a sense of civility and public decency in this campaign, unlike the vulgar, boorish, crude people associated with Donald Trump.

(No I'm not going to quote from that one. You're going to have to read it for yourself, but only if you're over 18.)

Madonna just wants attention. She likely wont keep her promise. Being threatened with a gun is more serious than a singer making a joke.

I never said all Clinton supporters were innocent, I was simply posting an article that I found.

Nobody was threatened with a gun.

A man asked a woman a question. Huffpo believes this to be newsworthy, that's the real story here.

'I've never said what he said!' Trump hits Hillary for Jay-Z's N-words. http://tiny.iavian.net/de8b

From the article :

"The rapper dropped one F-bomb and N-word after another, and then Hillary embraced him onstage

Clinton held her campaign rally with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, drawing 10,000 people with free tickets
Many of them exited before Clinton spoke, and Trump drew a larger crowd by himself in Pennsylvania."

They sure didn't go to see The Hills. :mrgreen:

Just in -

SOMEONE TRIED TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP AGAIN!

BREAKING NEWS - Donald Trump is rushed away by Secret Service.

Damn SOB 'S!

He said he only had a sign and no gun. Why would you pull a sign from your waist band?

From the article:

"At one point someone in the crowed even grabbed his testicles as he feared for his life. " Oopsie. :mrgreen:

And if he supports Hillary, then why is he at a Trump rally?! Up to no good, that's what.

Removed suspicious-looking link.

When encountering a remarkable story, I suggest verifying it with a reliable source, and citing that, rather than citing some fool with a blog. Don't use link shorteners.

The Trump campaign have denied any suggestion of an attempted assassination attempt.
