Looking forward to this on Saturday!

Yep. Clinton has a very light schedule of appearances this week. She had a packed day on Monday, but not much for the rest of the week, with none at all on Tuesday and Friday. At first I thought there was something health-related, but she is obviously spending the time preparing for the first debate.

She was on Jimmy Fallon last night, but that wasn't exactly tough, and was just lots of joking about, and she did say that she hadn't been doing much, on Dr's orders.

Can Trump win? Right now, there only seems to be one way. I have given him everything possible below and he just shades it, but there is no room for slippage. To start with, he absolutely has to win both Florida and Ohio or it is over. He seems to have a grip on Ohio now, but Florida is very much in the balance. In the last two weeks, polls there have reported Tie, Clinton+1, Trump+4, Clinton+2, Trump+4, Tie, Clinton+5. Make of that what you will. Florida is one of the most fascinating races - I'll do some notes on it later in the week.

Colorado, Nevada and North Carolina are up for grabs. He had an 8-point lead in the last Iowa poll, but was behind in previous ones, so the position there isn't clear. Despite the close polls, Arizona and Georgia are likely to come home in the end, though Arizona has now been borderline across numerous polls.

All the States in Clinton's column are looking safe, whereas all but one of Trump's is wobbly, so the battles will be fought on his territory, which is never a good position to be in.

In the end, it seems it will come down to Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina and Florida. He needs them all.

The Donald would like your help.

In preparation for next Monday's debate, the Trump campaign has issued a survey

You can let them know what issues he should bring up, even if the moderator doesn't, and so on.

This is your opportunity to have an input to the debates that may decide who will be President of the World for the next four years.

Foolishly, they have given an empty free-text box after each question, which is bound to lead to some entertaining responses.

Make sure you think carefully about Question 1.

That was fun, I thought my idea of needing more fake tan was particularly helpful.

Make sure you think carefully about Question 1.

I see they have renumbered the questions. Last night, every question was numbered 1. Now this comment makes no sense, as pointless and annoying as a Trump insult.

I'm not sure how much they will learn from this survey. Surely most Trumpophiles will answer Yes to every question. They are hardly going to say that he shouldn't bring up any of the issues listed. I think they might have learned more by asking people to rank the issues according to how important they are to them.

I suggested that the idea that Michelle Obama would be inserted as the candidate was nonsense, even if there was a vacancy, which I still think is the case this time around. She could be back though.

She is the most prominent of Clinton's surrogates, appearing on every show you can think of and doing her heartfelt speech thing all over the place. She always seems to be close to tears at some point in every speech - reminds me of the old joke about how you've got it made if you can fake sincerity.

I'm sure she could be a candidate in the future. The internet is full of people asking for just that - try Googling Michelle2024.



Seems strange that it keeps coming back to a few families from a population of over 300m. It must be horrible for people who work their way through all the lower-level dogfights and finally reach a point where they can really make a difference and get some recognition, only to be blocked by a parachuted-in celebrity candidate.

At this point, Michelle is loved in a way that Hillary isn't, but she hasn't had to argue issues on her own behalf - she can cherry-pick Barack's successes to talk about on the shows. She will need a tougher image if she does go for it.

It's in the humour section. Mildly unfunny stuff though, only noticed after seeing the author's other articles.

Wonder what the likelihood of serious election fraud being committed by either side is. Hard to say if it hasn't already.

I do like Michelle Obama, she does have the X Factor and you can see her appealing to a larger share of the electorate than Mrs Clinton. 

Much of this is a show and through her efforts on popular media Michelle has created a persona that makes her likeable if she enters politics when Barak steps aside I can see her going far.

Totally agree on the nepotism angle of American politics though.

Trump's debate preparation survey: refer to 'crooked Hillary on stage' or not?

Of course it's humour. I didn't think it was necessary to flag that.

There are many flaws and discrepencies with the US voting systems but I think the likelihood of serious election fraud is extremely low.

As the New York Observer (and observer.com) is owned by Ivanka Trump's husband, I'll take whatever it says with a very large pinch of salt. http://www.mediaite.com/online/%E2%80%8Bny-observer-endorsement-of-trump-far-worse-than-just-absurd-conflict-of-interest/

Until yesterday, Kathy Miller was Chair of the Trump campaign in Mahoning County in the swing State of Ohio.

Now she has been forced out by media hounding from the PC brigade.

All she did was give an interview and say it's black people's own fault if they haven't been successful.

Oh, and that there was no racism in America before Obama came along. Shocked

Now, she's lost her position. Political correctness gone mad.
