Who will survive the contest... 
Trump?
Clinton?
How many of these candidates current and old are going to be in court soon?
Trump for his university scandal.
Chris Christie for his bridge scandal.
Hillary Clinton for her renewed Email scandal.
What fine quality candidates we wound up with this election year!
When Trump loses do you think he will let it go or continue in the public forum causing trouble for Hillary Clinton?

As Cher sings... what would you change? Something personal, something that effects a larger population maybe even world wide? Don't feel obligated to answer like you are in the miss universe competition. An answer that is totally selfish is very acceptable. After all you only live once and there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself first. Especially for this question as we can't really turn back time can we... 
Would it be a lost love?
A family member or friend that has passed?
A financial situation or disaster?
A friendship that has grown distant or ended?
Recaptured Youth?
Regain your health or that of someone close?
Technology... are you the Unabomber or just want to go back to a simpler time?
Maybe a career change?
A missed opportunity?

Given Hillary's "alleged" past and her known positions on issues such as gun control why would you vote for her?

Trump's Right... The Election is Rigged...

The election process has been getting rigged for decades and the people doing the rigging are Trumps kind of people.
At the start of the nation voting was limited to property owning white men. Then when the laws were changed to allow minorities, women and youth to vote the people like Trump moved to more insidious methods to suppress voters they didn't want to effect the process. Jim Crow laws were passed to control the poor and the minorities. These Jim Crow laws included literacy tests, poll taxes and the grandfather clauses.
Quoted from wikipedia.com. grandfather clause
The term originated in late nineteenth-century legislation and constitutional amendments passed by a number of U.S. Southern states, which created new requirements for literacy tests, payment of poll taxes, and/or residency and property restrictions to register to vote. States in some cases exempted those whose ancestors (grandfathers) had the right to vote before the Civil War, or as of a particular date, from such requirements. The intent and effect of such rules was to prevent poor and illiterate African-American former slaves and their descendants from voting, but without denying poor and illiterate whites the right to vote. Although these original grandfather clauses were eventually ruled unconstitutional, the terms grandfather clause and grandfather have been adapted to other uses.
End quote.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was supposed to have fixed these issues but it seems it still goes on only by a different means now.
The Republicans realized they needed a different way to control the outcome of elections. So they have been busy thinking of ways to suppress the voters they don't want voting. You see it is so much more effective to stop voters from voting then to waste time and effort to pretend to be someone else and cast a vote on their behalf. You can have a much more efficient and effective effect on the outcome of elections this way and it holds effect for as long as these laws and miss handling of records can be done. They are clearly thinking long term...
So in the last twenty years or so what you saw was a hyped up unsubstantiated claim of voter fraud. The republican party has been very persistent on enacting as many restrictive laws as they could to limit who will likely be voting. They have made up false lists of convicted felons to keep people from being able to cast their vote when they went to the polls. This tactic was used very effectively in Florida back in the 2000 election between Bush and Gore, do you remember that one? Some 12,000 people were incorrectly listed as felons and purged from the rolls meaning they were turned away when they went to vote. That's many many more than enough to have changed the ultimate outcome of that election.
The following is from "wikipedia.com.This Election Is Being Rigged—but Not by Democrats
The GOP’s voter-suppression efforts are the real voter fraud.
By Ari BermanTwitter"
"The incoming Bush administration prioritized prosecutions of voter fraud over investigations into voter disenfranchisement—longtime civil-rights lawyers were forced out of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, US Attorneys were fired for refusing to pursue bogus fraud cases, and the first strict voter-ID laws were passed by Republican legislatures. The Bush Justice Department launched a five-year investigation into alleged voter-fraud abuses."
See the article and the project turnout video.
"But the administration never found the widespread fraud it was looking for, as I explained to the filmmakers Kelly Duane de la Vega, Jessica Anthony, and Ian Inaba of Project Turnout."
end of quote.
That's right your oppressive right wing government has spent who knows how much tax payers dollars to investigate the alleged widespread voter fraud and found that it is an illusion. One propagated by your oppressive right wing government.
That brings up another method of voter control... laws that prevent felons from voting while incarcerated and/or after they have served their time and been released. Some states don't allow anyone ever convicted of a felony to ever vote again unless... See how your state is measuring up. The link below goes to a page with felon voting rights by state. the trend has been to ease the process for felons to regain their right to vote. But you can be sure it is a tedious process to get your right to vote re-instated in many states for many reasons. I wonder if it is more of a problem in those states that are known as Red states? You might ask why take away or restore the right of the felon to vote in the first place... you also might have noticed that felons are disproportionately minorities and tend to be leaning left except of course the right wing fanatics such as skinheads and aryan nation types.
ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-voting-rights.aspx
But one thing that bothers me about these state laws restricting a felons right to vote is it also seems to restrict their right to vote for president which is a federal level vote and shouldn't be restricted by state law. Here in Vermont you can vote regardless of your status in jail or out as a felon. I'm not too sure how well that works out when you are sent to an out of state prison though.
Then there are the cases where names are somehow removed or lost from the voter rolls when you show up to vote.
Many states are requiring photo ID in some form or another to be presented somewhere in the process of either registering or voting. This has been initiated by the Republicans and has been very much pushed by Republican states almost exclusively. The idea of requiring Id started in South Carolina in 1950 and was very loose as in any document with the persons name on it would do. Over the following 30 years Hawaii, Texas, Florida and then Alaska joined that list. In 1999 Virginia tried to require ID's but wasn't successful. Since then the Republicans have been full bore in their attempt to pass this kind of legislation on a state level. In 2002 president Bush signed the "Help Amerca Vote Act" into law requiring first time voters in federal elections to provide either photo or non-photo ID upon registration or arrival at the polling place. How does putting further restrictions on help people to vote?
With all these states pushing and passing photo ID or other requirements to vote it was inevitable that the Supreme Court would get involved. Essentially the Supreme Court said on June 25, 2013 that the "preclearance" requirements in section 4 of the "1965 voting Rights Act" weren't up to date for today's demographic and jurisdictional situations. So that provision was stricken from the law. Section 4 was a part that determined what locations had to comply with the requirement to get permission from the court to make changes to the voting laws for that area in order to protect the voters whom have been discriminated against in the past. As the Supreme Court doesn't make law or create legislation it is up to the people and their representatives to change the law if they decide it needs to be changed now that section 4 has been determined to be outdated. So now we have states passing photo ID laws with very little interference from the Supreme Court.
The problem with voter photo ID and other restrictions is it tends to discriminate against the Democratic voter base more than the Republican voter base which explains the Republicans interest. People with low income, minorities, students and young or old voters are less likely to have a fixed address of sufficient time to register or a photo ID or fail to meet some other requirement. So those voters get turned away and can't register or vote. While some states will allow you to do a "provisional" ballot if you don't have the required ID, they also may have qualifications that you have to follow afterwards in order to get your vote counted. These qualifications vary by state but you may have to provide your proof within days of your vote in order for it to be counted instead of thrown out.
Then there are the more underhanded methods used to prevent people from going to the polls. Things like putting out false information to cause people to believe they are disqualified to vote do to some issue. "People" have sent mailers to people to cause them to think they could be jailed or were simply not eligible to vote.
quoted from Electoral Fraud on wikipedia....
Legal threats: In this case voters will be made to believe, accurately or otherwise, that they are not legally entitled to vote, or that they are legally obliged to vote a particular way. Voters who are not confident about their entitlement to vote may also be intimidated by real or implied authority figures who suggest that those who vote when they are not entitled to will be imprisoned, deported or otherwise punished. For example, in 2004, in Wisconsin and elsewhere voters allegedly received flyers that said, "If you already voted in any election this year, you can’t vote in the Presidential Election", implying that those who had voted in earlier primary elections were ineligible to vote. Also, "If anybody in your family has ever been found guilty of anything you can’t vote in the Presidential Election." Finally, "If you violate any of these laws, you can get 10 years in prison and your will be taken away from you." Another method, allegedly used in Cook County, Illinois in 2004, is to falsely tell particular people that they are not eligible to vote.
End quote.
Now these were sent to people and neighborhoods that were likely to be voting Democratic but who do you think was responsible for sending them?
Intimidation is another means of keeping people from the polls. This can range from bomb threats at polling places to actual threats against people or places. This isn't so much a problem in the states but then again someone seems to be making lots of stink about people being at the polls to watch people... Just coincidence that these are people who happen to be gun rights advocates and disgruntled voters wanting their candidate to win at any cost. People who are talking about not being responsible for what happens if they don't win.
Now I'm not against requiring a photo ID to cast your vote but I'm saying that you have to make accommodations and laws that are uniform through out the country not all these varying state laws. It has to be done with lots of warning time to allow people to get things done and must be well advertised and a suitable information/education campaign done. Then it must be paid for by the government in some fashion at least for those who can't afford to spend the money and time on getting an official voter ID card. Lots of people in this country don't drive and don't have drivers licenses.
Yeah... the Republican party has been busy for quite a few years manipulating the vote count in many ways. I wonder if that is what Trump is talking about when he says the election is rigged?

The cheese head is showing his true colors even more blatantly every day now. I knew he would melt down when the heat got turned up.
Constant denial of his very nature!
Well he has thrown off the shackles now...
Sure... he's never been disrespectful toward any women or teenagers in his beauty pageants... or life.... Why don't I believe him???? 
But of course it's all a conspiracy to get him...
Trump is a real Gentleman! 
Gargantuan
Egotistically
Neurotic
Tyrannical
Laughingstock
Exasperatingly
Malodorous
Arrogant
Nastiness
Can you come up with some good ones for Trumps gentlemanly characteristics?

Trump and his past in the next month?
What more obnoxious behavior will he demonstrate before the votes are cast?
How many more Republican leaders will decide they are going to turn against Trump publicly?
How many people out there are going to continue to stand by Trump, even though he has shown just how unfit he is for the office of the president, and will still vote for him?
What is wrong with those who still want to vote for him? Are they blind? Are they really that foolish? Is there that much anger in their hearts and minds?

If Trumps numbers keep falling do you think he will hang in to the Election day or will he chicken out. Will he make up some reason why he has to step down and quit. I don't know if he can handle the worldwide defeat.... in the news... the exposure may be more than he can deal with. Will he bail claiming it's all rigged or claim some other reason?
Maybe we will be calling him Orange Chicken before Novembers election gets here!
Who would step in to take his place in the last moment before the election?
Pence, Ryan, Carson, Christie..... ?

Will there be an expansive swelling before the "Huge" orangeness explodes splattering all those "unfortunate" enough to have been standing nearby?
Will the orange one implode and suck in on himself into a tiny little orange bouncy ball and bound off into the distance (hopefully the very far distance... like maybe Mars)?
Will the orangeness fade away into a dull yellow? I hope not, I like yellow and I think he would give the fine hue a bad reputation. But will Trump fade away into ignominy? Now that he has been exposed as the sham that he is will his name really be worth anything anymore?
Keep on attacking Donald it works so well for you...
