2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCheck Rick Wilson's twitter
I can finally start a thread. Hi everyone
Look closely at Wilson's twitter. He has been hinting that some bigger oppo drop is coming.
@TheRickWilson: Also...
What happened on the night of Friday, November 3rd, 2000?
@TheRickWilson: The key point of asking that question is to point out that it's Tuesday, yo.
I checked Google. November 3, 2000 was when WaPo broke the story about GWB's pleading guilty to DUI

Brian Stelter @brianstelter
Be honest, who thought the final "October surprise" would come from James Comey?

They blamed bush2's DUI on Al Gore.
Thank you, napkinz

(44,173 posts)If he really knows of a major opposition hit---and that will stick with the media too---then I'll believe it when I see it.
Maybe it will happen. Maybe not.
But we ought not base our side's campaign upon the vague hints of a Republican political consultant, who works for Evan McMullen, dropping some material at an unspecified date.

(2,795 posts)I'll be surprised to see if it happens and if it does, will it be juicy enough to overtake the media's obsession with emails and now the Clinton pardon back in the early 2000s? Not sure.

(459 posts)several different things come to mind, none of them good for cheeto benito.
he said last friday night that there is a reason why the clinton camp continues to hit at trump over his treatment of women.

And that assumed=s you could even find a civil jury willing to award him damages.

Tom Rivers
(459 posts)but it could be something else damaging for him as well. perhaps they have where he made an admittance of a sexual assault/rape and secretive cash settlement? just makes me wonder.
Renew Deal
(84,771 posts)And more in line with the comments getting thrown around. But I think Wilson knows something else.
LisaL
(47,367 posts)He has been hinting and hinting and hinting. If you ask me, he is pulling your leg.

(2,056 posts)I doubt it will do much.

(16,399 posts)His got a great hook. No one would pay attention to him otherwise.
Renew Deal
(84,771 posts)He knows something. But what?
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Unless it's a video tape like the Access Hollywood tape, hard to see how it'd impact the election. Even the Comey letter isn't going to impact the election too much.

(1,830 posts)If she is correct, that would be a killer, and NOT too late. Many, many people will be voting Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
tableturner
(1,830 posts)After the FBI story broke, Wilson tweeted this coming weekend will be wild, and later mentioned Friday. So this particular tweet is the third by him (and there may be more) implying Friday will be bombshell day.
And whatever you think of Mair and Luntz, they are exceedingly well connected Republicans (especially Luntz). Mair, along with Wilson, was a strong supporter of the "Never Trump" movement. I would not be shocked if this bombshell happened.

(27,548 posts)Generally, news just a handful of days before the election doesn't permeate voters' consciousnesses enough to have an effect. The fact is, Comeygate came at just the right time to reach critical mass. I think, for anything else to have a chance, it would have to break tomorrow, or Thursday at the absolute latest.

(1,665 posts)Totally blow up Trump, at this point I wouldn't hold my breath. Nothing seems to stick.

(17,802 posts)Hey, if given the choice between a comey presser and this, I'd much rather see whatever wilson has cooking.

(20,863 posts)one back as well). Hopefully we have more and bigger !!!
Blue Idaho
(5,500 posts)But anything after Friday probably is. It takes three or four days for a big reveal to sink in and effect people's decision making...
