I do not understand what wikileaks got out of it.

Going to be an interesting few days.

The mass hysterical supporters at his rallies are not going to change his mind. But hopefully waverers, undecided and others might just see the light. Especially in view of his declaration today that climate change is a hoax and he will rescind the Paris Agreement - actually nothing can happen on that for four years so even if he gets in he can't do anything and by then America will see the evil of his ways and not vote him in for a second term. Caveat No sitting president has ever not got a second term.

Can only think there is corruption within the FBI, all such a set up. Foolishness in the past on HCs part but since proved not harmful.

I hope the fact a republican was beaten up by Trump's men for having a Republicans against Trump banner will have an effect on the vote. It might make people who are unsure think again about what might happen with Trump as president.

40 million have voted already, not 4 million, around a third of the voters.
Clinton is leading Trump by 4 million votes.

In the meantime however I understand 4million Americans have voted already presumably believing Clinton had a case to answer. This must have had some influence? The US system leaves me beyond baffled. confused

Also confused because I clearly (?) remember writing this last night!

And unnecessary.

Times change.

Trump devotees are not going to change their opinions on Trump or Hilary , they see Trump as the second coming .

Anya Mon 07-Nov-16 08:06:41

Anyone is better than Trump, even Hillary.

I do hope the FBI conclusion encourages those who were swayed by the Crooked Hilary claims, to vote for her. I find it difficult to believe the FBI director, who is a Republican, acted without the full knowledge it would play into Trump's hands.
The idea of Trump as POTUS is genuinely terrifying.

This looks hopeful. Apparently a third of the votes have been cast already and she's well in the lead, although not as comfortably in the lead as Obama was four years ago.

Probably not because those who are convinced that there is a case to answer will remain convinced and Mr Trump, if he runs true to form, will continue to claim that there is and the whole thing is corruptly being swept under the carpet.

I hope so if it means she has a better chance. I think they were rash to reopen it again so close to the election and a bit biased if I'm honest. I quite like her and would like to see her win. Donald Trump is a nightmare, we could be heading for Armageddon if he's in power

Galen Sun 06-Nov-16 23:20:27

I see the FBI have stated that there is no further case to answer.
Will this affect the election?
