Hillary not being higher in the polls shows the stupidty of voters - not a problem

with the candidate.

trump appears to have broken laws, not released his tax returns, has lived a life almost all his supporters will never be privileged enough to enjoy, attacked people of various ethnicities, bribed officials, lied about birtherism, lied, lied, lied.

and yet innuendo against the Clinton Foundation, which is above all helping millions of people convinced between 5- 7% of the voters to switch to slimy Donald? 20% of the electorate are a lost, right wing loving, cause who would vote for hitler. But the others? They are incredibly stupid and ignorant.

They pound false accusations against Clinton and mostly ignore all the things they should be investigating on Trump.

5. For a lot of them its not stupidity, it just shows that partisanship is more important to them.

Ideology has replaced common sense for these people. Also, when they defend Trump's fraud, it shows how many people in this country lack a moral compass.

8. I blame iodine deficiency in the American diet since 1960 when they replaced iodine with bromine

in our bread and baked goods, and deluged the market with fluoride from toothpaste to our drinking water - two things that can 'trick' the thyroid into thinking they're iodine when they're not beneficial for us and, actually, far more toxic.

[center]Iodine Deficiency
http://www.thyroid.org/iodine-deficiency/[/center]

Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Iodine is found in various foods (see Table 1). If you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone. Thus, iodine deficiency can lead to enlargement of the thyroid (goiter – see Goiter brochure), hypothyroidism (see Hypothyroidism brochure) and to mental retardation in infants and children whose mothers were iodine deficient during pregnancy.

7. well, when the msm sees a pathological liar and calls his opponent the "untrustworthy" one

it's sometimes hard to blame the viewer.

trump hit the corruption trifecta by (1) self-dealing money from a non-profit to (2) bribe a public official into dropping an investigation into (3) his fraudulent activities, but the msm instead breathlessly covers how the aids baby-saving clinton non-profit somehow smells like corruption.

goebbels could only dream of the propaganda apparatus at the reich-wing's disposal.

9. Dissing the electorate on their choice is not a winning strategy

Educate them on why they should consider a better option.

It is the Sec. Clinton campaign's (and supporters') job to enlighten voters who don't have all the facts.

Given the state of the media, you can't blame some folks who only get info from limited channels for being underinformed.

Everyone I've met contends they are "angry" but have no answer when I ask what they have been doing to advocate for change. Nothing except trashing Hillary.

Sorry, I prefer people who get shit done.

12. The Candidate and the Candidate's staff

have not figured a way to counter Trump's painfully transparent persuasion techniques/sales strategy. He's closing the gap because he's made issues and truth utterly irrelevant. All that matters is his alpha-male swagger. the MSM is hypnotized by it.

Last time I saw HRC make a statement after the Chelsea bombing, she used 4-syllable words. Stupid voters like short words they understand. I know being president is complicated, but the Undecideds in this race CANNOT understand that. They are too dumb. They are Flibberdigibbets.

GO AFTER HIS EGO. BAIT HIM. ATTACK HIS MASCULINITY. ATTACK HIS VANITY. ATTACK THE HAIR. CALL HIM FAT. MAKE HIM LOOK WEAK. the higher ground is not where the Clinton campaign needs to be.
