is just a puppet, grotesquely dancing for the masses, while the puppet-masters are building our doom behind the curtain.
It's encouraging that he is slipping in the polls, but polls don't mean much in grasping The Power. Half of our 21st century presidents LOST the popular vote. The puppet masters have learned how to game the EC. And now there is news about how local and state election boards have been seized by liars and cheats. Many thousands of votes have been challenged by just a few bad actors.
The Right is not counting on votes. They are counting on the vote-counters. We need to clean that up BEFORE the election.

Yes, and all totally predictable. We just can't let up on the message that TRUMP IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT

If I didn't know any better, I'd think the gop is trying to get him to drop out.
