Re: Who Will Be President?
It's probably for the best that she's slipping in the polls at this point in the race, prior to the debates, rather than it occurring in October.
Whenever Hillary is leading, comfortably, she and her campaign always seem to do something that hurts them, unintentionally. She ends up running a lazy campaign that gets complacent, and becomes prone to making mistakes, and her opponents are given ample opportunities to capitalize. But, once the polls tighten, she and her campaign generally get serious again and it draws the best out of them. The harder the race, the harder she and her campaign fights. She's at her best when she's losing (or not clearly winning). It's been a continuous cycle since at least 2008.

Re: Who Will Be President?
I love this version of Hillary, but I imagine politically it's not going to benefit her
It's hubris like this that's going to get Trump elected in November.

It is going to benefit her politically. Playing the woman card and framing the opponent camp using negatives are going to strengthen her base and marginalize her opponent's. It is also going to divert attention from her own dishonesty and corruption issues. Typical playbook in politics.

Hilary has pneumonia.

This specific incident just brought to my attention that Gary Johnson and the Library party are just the worst, but it's simply very funny in itself too. Even Trump is basically a crazy madman, Gary Johnson is simply truly incompetent. However, so was Bush, and the US survived that too.

Re: Who Will Be President?
Hillary needs to turn shit around, and fast. It would help if her running mate wasn't as charismatic as a brick wall...
They're going against somebody without limits. Why Hillary opposes foreign trips, large speeches, press conferences, etc is ridiculous and playing right into Trumps otherwise ridiculous argument.

Re: Who Will Be President?
Hillary will reignite her campaign again; I wouldn't worry about that. She's very ambitious, and won't go down without giving it her all now that she's this close. She's at her best when she's trailing (not leading), and after the worst week of her campaign, expect her to deliver results soon (e.g. the first debate).
She and her campaign also brought in record fundraising numbers throughout August, so expect a blitz campaign in the final weeks, with all the top Democratics (Obama, Michelle, Warren, Sanders, etc.) contributing in battleground states to get her elected. And remember, that while she's falling behind in OH and FL at the moment, that AZ, GA, and even TX are currently in play.
And regarding polls - at the end of every election, Presidential or otherwise, the only polls that matter are those on the final day(s).

He's got a point about the fast food. From this interview alone, he seems like a pretty nice, down to earth, reasonable fella.

Having just watched the movie Snowden, it seems likely that Hillary Clinton will carry on business as usual of domestic spying of all US citizens.

Re: Who Will Be President?
Although the state polls from Wednesday didn't look too good for Hillary, the set of national polls are seeing a reverse of previous trend, so I expect the percentage at 538 to stabilize around the 60-40 split until next week's debate.
