Trump got his convention bump

Now let's see if Hillary will get hers.

Note that people are starting to look into 3rd parties.

Interestingly, despite the warnings from speakers at the Republican National Convention that voting for anybody other than Trump is a vote for Hillary Clinton, Trump's lead actually widens when the third-party candidates are considered. They're three points apart in a head-to-head match-up. They're five points apart in a four-way race. (This probably means we'll hear the same dire warnings all this week that not voting for Hillary Clinton will help Trump win.)
While Johnson still isn't getting high enough poll numbers yet to make the presidential debates (he needs to hit 15 percent), he saw signs of a different sort of convention bounce. It appears that over the course of the RNC, Google interest in searches for him spiked to the point that there's now more people looking for info about Johnson than there ever was prior to the 2012 election. The same holds true for Stein, though to a much lesser degree. Note the far right of the chart below. Interest in Johnson is in blue. Interest in Stein is in red.

After this week, HRC will get a negative bump, a "thump"

Even now, there have been DNC chants of "Lock her up!"

For all the reasons we've discussed here the last few days, this is when she starts going down in flames.

And for those that want to scare us. Defeating Donald Trump in 2020 will be much easier than defeating incumbent HRC who will have wrapped her tentacles around even more aspects of democracy.

As I noted in one of my diaries, Trump is potentially planning to make some moves that will send him surging to a huge lead in the near future.

Not even if it was as big as a pumpkin. Not even if it was slow-pitched with a hanging curve.

Her best bet is a Base On Balls, and she's bribed the opposing pitcher to throw wide. Blum 3

But she'll probably get picked off first or tagged out somewhere between there and home, 'cause she can't run either.

the blatant and obvious corruption appears to have become too much even for the DNC's herd --
