It is Sunday before the Tuesday election, and over 40 million Americans have already voted. Trump, who has violated a lot of the "rules" of running a political campaign is doing so again.
He is campaigning in the so-called "blue states" that rarely vote for Republican candidate. He is also drawing huge crowds there. Seven different states are on his schedule today.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is following the "rules" and campaigning in two of the "battleground" states.
Seven appearances for Trump and only two for Clinton with two days left.
That raises the question: does she think she is that far ahead, or can she only physically do two appearances in one day?
Since the last post, Trump has become a much better candidate. He has gotten off of Twitter, and has kept on message. His speeches are smooth and coherent. His advertising is quite well done
He has drawn huge crowds everywhere he has gone. Enthusiastic crowds.
Clinton has been Clinton, with her team only drawing small, unenthusiastic crowds, except of course, when she has an entertainer with her to draw a crowd....entertainers like the crude, vulgar and racist Jay-Z, or the fanny wagging J-LO, or even anti-cop and vulgar Beyonce.
Strange bedfellows, indeed. But they say politics makes strange bedfellows.
Her money has bought the best advertising and "ground game" money can buy. Apparently the money cannot buy love, but it can buy votes. And the Democrat ground game has always been good at stealing votes.
The FBI gave Clinton another clean bill of health for breaking the laws with her email usage. That is not surprising. Obama has totally corrupted the Department of Justice, the FBI and just about every other Federal Agency in Washington. One cannot really believe what they say or do any more.
The polls, as usual, are all over the place, with the average giving Clinton a slight lead within the margin of error. Some are outliers and give Trump a lead. The individual state polls make it a very close race.
Who will win on Tuesday? Will we even know by Wednesday? This is so hotly contested, that barring the quite unexpected landslide for one of them, one can look for lawsuits and challenges from both sides. That, of course, will only divide our population even more. And the courts are not a good place to decide elections.
We should all hope and pray for a landslide for one or the other. Our country really needs to get this election behind us.
That does not seem to be in the cards.
