It won’t surprise me if Trump wins. The race is tightening a great deal, primarily because a lot of #nevertrump folks have decided to vote GOP anyway. He’s not winning over new voters. He’s not expanding his tent. But the gap between the two was mostly due to a lack of GOP support for Trump — and opposition to him from women and pretty much every minority in America. The latter may not be enough in such a divided nation.

If the Dems had nominated a better candidate, one without all of the Clinton baggage, I think this election would have been over months ago. There are dozens of Dems and independents who could have crushed Trump, easily one of the most ignorant, hate-filled, vindictive and unqualified people to ever run for the office.

To me, it was self-centered of HRC to run, and the Democratic Party basically cleared the field for her. It was “her turn,” supposedly. So they ignored all the signs and the vast majority of potential candidates chose to stand on the sidelines. The result is a close race that could go either way.

I know a number of people, friends and family, who usually vote Dem, but are skipping the Prez ticket and only voting for local offices. That doesn’t translate to a national referendum, I know that. But Hillary may not get the bump with indies and right leaning Dems that she needs.

You say that if anyone other than Hillary had been nominated, it would be over. What about the GOP side? If Rubio had been nominated, would the GOP have it in the bag right now?

Something to think about.

Well Buchannon is half-right — He’s right about Hillary being a Weasel.

He’s wrong about Trump — Trump is a weasel too.

So, yes, it will be a Prezidency from Hell — either way.

So true.
I found it interesting how you spelled “PreZidency.”
Did you ever read comic books?
Do you remember “Prez” by DC Comics?

The Rams play losing teams for the next 6 games.

If Fisher isn’t at least .500 in that streak, he should be replaced this offseason.

Seems to me it’s the BLM who hates the government the most and are most dependent on the government financially, not the Tea Party folks. Tea Party people don’t hate the government. They are in favor of limited government, which was the general thought of the Constitutional fathers. And I am not a Tea Party member.

BLM has never expressed “hatred for the government.” That’s only the fuzzy false picture you get of them if all you know is what detractors say about them and don’t know what they themselves actually say. And the idea that those associated with BLM are more government dependent does not bear much close scrutiny.

We don’t listen to the constitutional fathers, who were very skeptical about letting corporate power dominate democracy. Basically that’s what we ended up with. If we had listened to them we would not have ended up with that. Interestingly part of the reason we suffer a system that limits democracy (because of the power the corporate world and the wealthy exercise over it) is because those forces used the “limit government” mantra to manipulate people. That just gave more power to them.

government, for the most part.

As far as state government, very few had problems with wide reaching government.

I’m really hoping for this story-line — All these Non-brady-QBs win their games. And the Pats go 4-0 without Brady.

And then Brady comes in, and they lose 12 in a row.

That would please me.

Now that would be worthy of a national holiday!!!!!!!

That is one reason I think he could win Pennsylvania.

Wouldn’t surprise me.
The Illuminati must be behind this. The world is theirs, not ours.

What I’m afraid of is seeing the same dink and dunk in the passing game that we saw in preseason.

Defenses need to be kept guessing against us.

12 months from now, if Goff still looks this bad, then yes I’m worried.

I gotta feeling 12 months from now, the Rams will have a
No.1 WR for him to throw to, which should help.

One would think thats the no.1 need at this point,
anyway.

I’m with you there. We really need that #1 WR for this O to step up.

I thought Bradford had a one-year deal, and was a FA after this season. This is interesting.

And it seems like giving up a #1 for a one-year rental who will take a few weeks to get going is a high price. The Vikings must really believe they are close to make that move.

I gotta think the Vikes are not taking Bridgewater’s return next year for granted. And they probably shouldn’t.

More details coming out.
The FBI actually tricked her at one point, showing her an e-mail that the FBI had attached a “C” to, trying to pass it off as marked classified. She noticed it and said that the email wasn’t classified and marked in error.
She knew the system.
Also she signed off on a State e-mail indicating that no one was to have private email systems, yet she had one.
There’s more people. And Wikileaks isn’t done yet.

Again, as I’ve said before, this year’s major party choices are horrible, and it doesn’t look like the 3rd party candidates are gathering steam either. But how can we choose the next Richard Nixon in female form to lead this nation?

Good words there, zn.

While I believe in free speech, I also believe one must be wise in what they say publicly. Words reflect back and, in this case, can hurt the team and efforts to both unify the team and reach out to the fan base.

If I spoke out on every issue I thought strongly about, probably half of my patients would be upset or feel alienated somehow. That’s not fair to them.

Thanks for the taking the starting block, zn.
Good comments.
My short thoughts:
1. The O-line will be fine. I’m an O-line first type of guy and I think they are showing what we need to see.
2. RB’s are solid. I hope they keep Gurley, too! 🙂
3. The offense does need more consistency on drives, but I’m more certain they will more this year than I’ve seen in the recent past. The one’s have not been out there much and we see some rising stars who will help immediately.
4. D penalties. What was up with all the offsides? It looked like they were starving and the meat was hanging from the QB. And Ayers, a vet at that?
5. The passing game has pretty much been kept under cover so far. Not much with longer passes yet. Keenum will not be a threat to air it out. That pass to Brit with the PI was way under thrown. Once Goff gets up to speed, the longer passes will return.
6. Goff struggled. Obviously. But I think he is the answer we’ve been waiting for. We just have to wait longer. I’m fine with that.
7. WR is still a work in progress. I hope time helps, as we don’t have a #1 pick next year. I just hope the Rams can keep their defense strong while we wait on the O to gel, as that is the key to a SB team.
