So I'm hardly a troll. Making an observation about the tightening of poll numbers shouldn't be considered trolling. It's the reality and none of us should be burying our heads in the sand and just accept that this election is in the bag for Hillary.

It's obvious the media wants a horse race so is going out of its way to minimize the Trump's rhetoric while calling every Clinton issue a scandal or controversy. That is taking it's toll.

This isn't over by any means. While I cheer at positive polls I am well aware that a lot can happen between now and Election Day and we must not be complacent.

I love how it's "nasty" to ask that a person actually do something to help the Clinton campaign. athena Sep 2016 #18

How is it "nasty" to ask that a person's actions match their words? athena Sep 2016 #17

How dare you lie about me or any other other poster? Doodley Sep 2016 #25

Okay so what are you doing then? Agschmid Sep 2016 #68

Thank you for providing an example of what I am talking about - a very nasty reply by you. Doodley Sep 2016 #10

So you admit you do NOT volunteer for the campaign. athena Sep 2016 #20

Again you lied about a DU member. You claimed I admit I do not volunteer for the campaign. LIE! Doodley Sep 2016 #27

This is awesome in how tone deaf it is. Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #16

What is "tone deaf" is insisting on criticizing Hillary Clinton and athena Sep 2016 #22

Yes but this is a discussion board. Where discussions take place. Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #24

It's significant that the poster did not answer my question athena Sep 2016 #26

Dude. Just admit that you screwed up. Jakes Progress Sep 2016 #46

Sometime the 'concern' is from those who don't like Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #60
