Truthful? Possibly. Probably not. But it goes right alone with the cards they're playing.

This is hardly the worst they've got.

"According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt."

Bill Clinton is still in the lead.

I don't disagree, but that doesn't matter. First, of course, he isn't running for President anymore. Second... people have a very short memory. That was a long time ago. This Trump stuff is right now, a month before the election. The media will make sure it (and the worst to come) is fresh in voters minds.

At that point, the small group of hardcores isn't going to matter. The massively larger "normal people" voter bloc will matter, and can be turned off by this sort of stuff.

Honestly, would love to see him pull it off, but it's 100% not possible.

No... I'm referring to 538's polling being highly accurate. Yeah the "today vote" stuff is just for fun... but his other statistics have beaten full-time pollsters for a while now.

I don't think 538 is a source to consider unreliable or otherwise.

I agree his record has been quite good so far, and I pay attention to his numbers, there was this: How I Acted Like A Pundit And Screwed Up On Donald Trump | FiveThirtyEight

Has he learned from his mistakes?

If you think a loss is inevitable, you're wasting time on this forum that could be spent building a bomb shelter.

Not sure at ALL how accurate this would be... but 84% of police support Trump?

There are those that argue that Romney lost the general election due to his mormon faith. Supposedly republicans stayed home because they wouldn't vote for a mormon.

Yeah, kind of funny

neverTrump (not the hashtag, just convenient shorthand for those varied groups, in toto, who don't support DJT) says that if Trump loses an election thought to be winnable, it's the fault of the Trump supporters who selected him in the primary over 'better' candidates - even though they support non-party candidates or urge just not voting on principle

After making very certain a popular alternative choice is silenced at the 2012 convention (Ron Paul), the party's choice (Romney) loses an election thought to be winnable. Who do many of these same people blame (SPOILER: Not themselves) - people who would not vote for the candidate (esp. Tea Party) and those who stayed home and would not vote on principle

Hmmm. Seems like there should be be some sort of pattern here

Probably just being nice, I'm guessing... but at this point, the media is ready to pull everything out.

On the surface, there's nothing wrong with this comment on it's own. Only when sandwiched between a bunch of similar stories.

Everyone knows Trump likes women a bit younger than himself, like his wife.

He jokes about himself that way all the time. Like when referring to his daughter. Yeah, it's meant to be part complement part poking fun at himself.

Liz Mair, former RNC comms director, says there's at least two more really, really bad stories to drop. None of the ones today are the ones she mentioned.

I'd say probably right after the third debate.
