You are of course right about all this, but I am still nervous. I fear that image counts for so much, and that the electorate may prefer a 6-foot-2 man over a small woman with perceived health problems. Hillary's gender is not in her favor. Of course she knows more, is better prepared and far more experienced than Trump, but I wonder how much that will actually count for.

The new NYTimes poll notwithstanding, it still says Hillary has a 76 percent chance of winning. Also remember the debates are yet to come (first one is September 26). And finally, remember that the media has a powerful interest in the contest being a horse race, up in the air until the last possible moment. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : It looks like I am being proved right (see my post below, from a few days ago). Trump is gaining on all fronts (see the latest polls), and I think it is likely he will win. He has the momentum now, and Hillary is going to have to struggle to get it back. She is not a good candidate and I wish we had someone else. Send for Biden! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : I read that Trump has committed himself to the debate, so he would lose face by withdrawing, whatever the excuse. I wish I shared your optimism about a huge defeat. I think it is going to be too close for comfort, and it would not surprise me if Trump won. Hillary is in a very difficult position right now, with her health. People respond to images of strength, and right now Trump looks robust and strong, and Hillary looks weak. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <salsunshineiniowa@...> wrote : And speaking of kicking butt, here’s what I predict happens: Trump refuses to come to the debates (or at least the first one) because of_______________ (fill in the blank). He then hilariously uses the fact that he didn’t get to debate as an excuse for why he lost eh election, hugely. All the threats about rigged elections and suing go up in smoke as he slinks away, totally defeated, never to be heard from again (politically at least.) After putting the GOP in the dumpster for the next generation (or hopefully longer) he decides to open his next hotel the one place in the world he feels comfortable...Elba. (Ok, I don’t really think that’s going to happen, but nothing would surprise me at this point) That’s my story, as of now anyway.

Name your illness or disability, and she still kicks Trump's butt intellectually, emotionally, experientially, ethically, morally, and yes, probably financially. He is sooooo far beneath her in every respect, it doesn't really make any sense to compare the two. Which is why the Republican leadership all pretend Trump doesn't exist, that they are somehow not responsible for the filth and ignorance he brings alive around him. Tacitly approving it, but then making excuses, "Oh its Hillary I don't like, not that I prefer Trump", they proclaim. Always excuses. Always silently approving the ugliness and separation, the us vs them, the stink of I don't give a shit what happens to America that accompanies Trump everywhere, his signature message. His outsider status also proclaiming that he has never done a day of public service in his life. The loser, the schemer, the idiot, the manipulator. Screw him and everyone supporting him. He won't help those that naively believe he can "fix the system", whatever that even means. He is stupid, vain, horribly unhealthy - can you imagine that beast in a bathing suit?? A watermelon on toothpicks with orange fur on its head - hideous. He is as ugly outside as he is within - a waste. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Hillary may have Parkinson's disease.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1IDQ2V1eM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1IDQ2V1eM Hillary Clinton's Illness Revealed Videos constructed from public sources that show the true Hillary Clinton.
