Hillary Clinton in big trouble with poll-a-coaster set to put Trump out in front
Hillary Clinton is in trouble - big, sweaty-palm trouble.
Her polls are falling off a cliff, as Donald Trump-wary Republicans gradually shift from the "undecided" column to back a candidate who fills them with dread.
The decline has accelerated since Clinton's reckless "basket of deplorables" speech on September 9 and her seeming collapse in public on September 11, when she got knocked by a bout of pneumonia.
A once formidable Clinton advantage has evaporated.
Trump, by contrast is on a roll. Since the days after the Republican convention in July, he has risen almost steadily in the polls - chipping an incredible six points off Clinton's lead in averages of the polls, and seemingly immune in the minds of some voters to his shocking/appalling/inept/dumb utterances that analysts and pundits rate as political suicide.
It's as though, in the minds of voters, some other force - not Trump - is responsible for the verbiage that he sprouts. And in the face of a backlash, he doubles down, refusing to apologise and/or blaming others.
This is an incredible moment in modern American history. It is not overstating the case to say that both candidates are hated, but at this stage Republicans could be forgiven for resorting to that all-purpose adage in which those who invoke it insert their epithet of choice - which in this case would be something like: "he might be a f— wit, but he's our f— wit."
In another time and with another candidate, Trump's bizarre "Obama is not/is an American" nonsense and his reckless return on Friday to language that seems to invite a gun nut to go for Clinton would have sealed the deal for a runaway Democratic win.
The Australian carefully lays his bait on an international scale…

Did they find out about kek?
Justin Morris
The media here in Brazil is shilling for Hillary all the way. What will they ever gain from her victory? WWIII coverage?
Robert Moore
Australia is cucked to hell though, they have next to no freedom or rights at all.
Evan Edwards
Calm yourself user. There's no reason to believe they'd be autistic enough to rant about Kek… Actually given the events of the past week we should probably be concerned. Even if only a little
Benjamin Robinson
Triple doubles confirm Brazilian news ratings will skyrocket when the nukes fly.
Nolan Johnson
I think it's this Silent Majority I've been hearing about for 20 years
Xavier Peterson
Ausfags, when will they learn?
Henry Roberts
who got the aussie spurdo toilet meme?

Based Taleb recently had something to say about these "analysts and pundits."
Fucking hell maybe I'm getting old but the media has never looked dumber to me.
Isaac Wood
Or maybe, just maybe, and I'm going out on a limb here… People actually agree with what he is saying and like what he is saying.
Luis Russell
B-but it's 2016.
2016!
Noah Miller
Can't wait to claim a slab from a cucked friend when he wins.
Adrian Foster
It would be good if it is 2088. 😆
Kevin Turner
It's almost like we agree with him or something.
But who would believe that?
Gabriel Hernandez
I wish we'd memed that shit like 10 years ago.

I can never get over how abbos look like a completely different species of hominid. Neanderthals probably looked like a whiter version of them. Australia is like some sort of weird Jurassic Park type place. I wonder if a nigger from Africa would be able to produce viable offspring with an abbo?
They'll never realize that they're an extremely out of touch minority even when the guillotine slices through their necks.
