Assange Lashes Out At America: "Rigged Primary, Rigged Media, Rigged Candidate"
After months of exposing damaging internal information from both the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, much of which actually points to criminal behavior but seemingly has no impact on the polls, Julian Assange has concluded that "There is no US election. There is power consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper' candidate drive consolidation."

Sadly, it is difficult to disagree with the assessment. That an establishment democratic candidate could endure an extended FBI investigation, in which multiple federal laws were clearly and intentionally broken, and clear evidence of corruption and collusion between the FBI and State Department is mind boggling. Throw in evidence from WikiLeaks clearly linking the DNC to criminal efforts to incite violence at rallies, numerous examples of pay-to-play activities at the Clinton Foundation, blatant media collusion, etc, etc, and it actually becomes quite frightening.

And, while no amount of corruption or scandal seems to sway an American electorate that is intent upon driving the bus off the cliff, Assange has promised a "surprise" for Tim Kaine and the "persecuted christian woman", Donna Brazile.

And while we certainly look forward to one more "October Surprise," we're sure it's just one more damning piece of information that will be promptly ignored by the complicit "mainstream media", which as Wikileaks itself exposed is nothing but a PR machine for the administration, and an oblivious American electorate.

No, I am pretty sure he lost. Despite what the "unskewed" polls predicted. A lot of people, Mittens included, convinced themselves he was going to win. So they were caught unprepared for the actual results.

The only reason for bringing it up is to point out that those who ignore the polls, and more importantly the trends in the polls, are setting themselves up for disappointment. No amount of propaganda can paper over reality.

Reality shows that Trump has massively flamed out right before the election. Now, if he shuts up and prays, he might recover a bit. If Hillary screws up, maybe even more. But it would take a massive amount of screw up on Hillary's part for Trump to pull things off this close to an election.

Not to mention he has never been ahead in the polls even once. Something Mittens managed to do several times in the last cycle.

I guess you invest a lot in your T-level's ability to swing the election. Seems sort of odd, but...
