When you look at the polls over the many months, the margins have changed here and these two candidates havent changed that much. Were into the final three weeks, the big debate tomorrow, what could happen that might change things . To me, thats the most important question. Here weve had ten straight months of polling and campaigning by these two, and the negative feelings at the start of this year that the public had for both of them are still there. They feel more negative about him than her. So the question is, is there anything in the next three weeks . Obviously, if youre trump, you need to make this debate work big time. That can change trajectory in this race is some unknown incident, because at this point, i think everything feels like its starting to settle into concrete here. The only time weve seen anything move at all is when we heard the words of donald trump in that videotape. Thats the type of issue that would have to pop up to actually change the direction of this campaign at this point. Who has more riding on tomorrow . Oh, i trump by a mile.

But what happens here could have international general valesquey is concerned that in retaliation for losing mosul, isis could launch terror attacks on targets in the west. Thats what were worried about from my perspective, back at home, when mosul falls, how are they going to try to deflect the attention .
