In terms of the dog fight, Hillary's most important goal is to get under Trump's skin... and she has succeeded.
Once Hill is a burr under the simian's saddle, he has nowhere to turn but bravado, bombast and bluster.
In this narcissistic stew, Despicable Donald will be unusually prone to do (or say) something wildly self-destructive.
The Prince of Darkness has no psychological insight into his narcissism and only knows that the kind of "success" he has achieved is attributable to sans pareil imitation of chest-thumping apes and moon-howling alpha dogs.
Tragically (for Trump), thumping and howling are only considered admirable behaviors by lickspittle suck-ups.
Did you see that since the debate Hillary has added 10% to her likelihood of winning? http://projects.
No one knows the future, but I will happily wager "even money" that Democrats get the Senate back - along with The Oval Office.
Last night, while watching Frontline's "The Choice, 2016" -- http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2016/09/frontline-soberly-profiles-clinton-and.html -- I was struck that the very moment Hillary "struck out on her own" (following the Lewinsky scandal), she found her true self in the Senate, not only thriving by being "the smartest person in the room" but also by finding her chops as a diligent behind-the-scenes negotiator who was unusually able to craft bipartisan deals.
Relatedly, I think Obama's greatest shortcoming has been his fondness for "Big Picture Politics" to the exclusion of day-to-day, nitty-gritty, get-down-and-dirty.
I do not fault The Muslim Kenyan Manchurian Candidate Communist for this.
However, Barack HUSSEIN's inability to wrestle with the political practicalities of Congress spotlights Hillary's overlooked strength - a gift for negotiation that positions her to accomplish a great deal even over conservatives' do-nothing--noise-
In praise of Hillary's skills as a negotiator, imagine the give-and-take that prevented the dissolution of her marriage, although as Ronald Reagan demonstrated, she might have found it easier to advance if she divorced Bill.

(It is easily forgotten that Christianity is much more opposed to divorce than to fornication. It may even be that no culture has so accommodated fornication as Catholic Italian culture, not to mention the sexual carousing of numerous popes. Here is Wikpedia's list of "Sexually Active Popes" - https://en.wikipedia.org/

I am increasingly aware that American conservatives MUST resort to conspiratorial thinking because Truth is not on their side.
And once they plunge into the swamp of Byzantine intrigue, all that's left is the consolation prize of "making stuff up" - the extrusion of lies to support their ideological (and theological) purity.

There is, of course, a chance that Trump might win.
But don't bet the farm.
If he does win, the victory will be pyrrhic, a way for God/Karma to collapse America's alleged "exceptionalism" which, by my lights, is indistinguishable from the hubristic Pride that catapulted Satan from the parapets of Heaven.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."
"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice. The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization. We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal. Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good. The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander,” by Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton

Alan: No nationally known American politician has ever cared less about Truth than Donald Trump.
None.
No one even comes close.
He actually prefers falsehood.
Furthermore, Devious Donald (and wife Melania, a softcore porn model) epitomize "the glamour of Satan" which Catholic Christians are called upon to reject during every Easter Vigil mass.
If conservative Christians think that supporting this despicable man is doing anything other than undermining their vestigial credibility --- while contributing to the the ongoing train wreck of American Christianity --- they are even more deluded than I supposed.

Dear ATrump must have gotten the word that he actually lost the debate big time because he's talking about Hillary's health again. He also went back to complaining about the rigged system when he was running for the nomination.
How many things can you hold on to in life without getting a stroke? Of course he can't let the birtherism issue go, he can't let anything go.Love
