The teleprompter won't be there, and the right zingers are likely to launch him into Bizarro Land.<br /><br />But yes, if Mr. Putin actually has an October surprise of sufficient magnitude, Clinton could be screwed, and us along with her, as Trump steps into the White House and upsets the economic apple cart.<br /><br />Another possibility that gives me the chills: Clinton kills Trump in the first debate, whereupon Trump finds some pretext not to participate in any more debates. Given that the American electorate has a memory and attention span of about seven seconds, Trumps would then read from his teleprompter all the way to the White House.<br /><br />I don't know about you, but my knuckles are looking kind of white.<br /><br />Yours crankily,<br />The New York CrannkThe New York Crankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489472134701718697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-87437875430417545812016-09-06T11:49:35.574-04:002016-09-06T11:49:35.574-04:00It's hard to believe Clinton's pivot to th...It's hard to believe Clinton's pivot to the center (and away from the Left) isn't paying dividends.<br />Whocouldanode?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363187757246791754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-55876080655275927272016-09-06T11:03:20.572-04:002016-09-06T11:03:20.572-04:00It's not dramatic, sexy, or pithy, but accurat...<br />It's not dramatic, sexy, or pithy, but accurate: when a professional sports team plays not to lose, it wins. For example, it was the strategy followed by Bill Parcells' New York Giants when, with unspectacular personnel, they twice went on to win the NFL championship. Playing not to lose makes fans nervous, but a team's objective (like that of a candidate) must be to win, not to spare its fans discomfort.<br /><br />This is not to suggest that the Clinton campaign should have, as MSNBC did, assume Clinton would win in November because she was ahead in June. Presidential elections are won in the fall, not in the summer- consider Romney slamming Obama in the first presidential primary, then going on to lose. Unfortunately, we have to consider not only a Grump October Surprise, but also one from friends Putin or ISIL.main street liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309905603024705085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-24209317232935289092016-09-06T10:41:24.253-04:002016-09-06T10:41:24.253-04:00Hillary is playing not to lose.
