    This is the definition of big government liberalism -- that the state knows better than you. That it takes a village.

    Love liberalism all you want, but it's about giving power to the state, and to the corrupt politicians we all bitch about.

    Every elected official in Washington, and every federal agency, works diligently to acquire more power.

    Sure. And, maybe in a normal election year, nothing in the Posesta emails blows up, but there's no way to know that now.

    Ooh! Feeling a surge in vigor.

    Maybe that debate performance, and his calls to have her jailed, really did turn things around.

    With Rasmussen, the answer is always "oversampling of old and white voters."

    But a six-point swing is going to happen a few times per cycle without any underlying reason.

    Against a normal opponent it wouldn't matter because she would already be down 5 points.

    But that's part of why it would be a bigger issue.

    If she was down, the pile on would demand more coverage.

    Her blowing the election would be the issue.

    Trump painted himself into a pretty tight corner with all the Bill Clinton bashing. His spokespeople are saying that his accusers simply want "15 minutes of fame." Of course, the same could be said about Bill's accusers. Unless you are squeaky clean, it's a fraught tactic.

    Remember: There's never been a peep about W. or Obama, as far as this kind of stuff goes.

    You don't read the right websites.

    YF, your response has nothing to do with my post. These students are saying they cannot morally support the candidate endorsed by their school, an endorsement made for power-seeking purposes. It's a religious school. They're putting their personal beliefs ahead of institutional power goals. That's noteworthy and praiseworthy. They are walking their talk.

    A few weeks ago, some relatives were trying to convince me that Michelle Obama is really a man and the president has called her "Michael" on multiple occasions. I'm guessing this was making the rounds on Breitbart?

    Ok sure. But there seemed to be an implied criticism of those who try to accumulate power -- especially those who try to act holier than thou while doing so.

    That's liberalism in a nutshell.
