Does the level of absolute crap ever stop rising?

Not in this election cycle. Trump's babble, the split-personality polls, the bald-faced attempts at voter intimidation and suppression, all indicate that the Republicans know they have a problem. And, in the grand tradition of Richard Nixon and KKKarl Rove, will stop at nothing to correct it.
This is such a moth-eaten bit of Republican strategy, so completely predictable. Two weeks out from election day, produce one more shitstorm over which the mindless media lapdogs will fight. At some point, it will dawn on the so-called "journalists" that the "bombshell'' story is really a complete dud. But, the saddest thing is, the four or five percent of voters who say they are still undecided have such little feel for the political system that a certain number of them will treat the nonsense as if it were a message from the heavens.

We already have 40 UN observers on their way, this is going to be one duzy of an election.

I'm not sure the undecideds matter anymore, that's perhaps another media meme that they can sell.
It's about the ground game and gotv. Before this it was about registering new voters, we did well there!

And am doing all I can here. My gut tells me the President is going to win this election. it just annoys the hell out of me that all those veteran reporters out there act like trained seals each and every time a Republican hit squad lobs another phony hand grenade.

I'm not sure how true this story is so don't want to post it - the freepers are going nuts about it since to them the UN is evil
