Did Comey hand Trump the election?

[hopper]

He's doing this to help Clinton.  Now no one is talking about wikileaks.  Comey is helping Clinton and no one realizes it.

No one cared about WikiLeaks before last Friday anyway.

[Tender Branson]

No, there will be a dent or two in her polls to come but CO, VA and PA are not likely to tighten enough for a Trump win.

[Kalimantan]

No.  Hillary will still win.  I think what it means, barring a huge Trump scandal breaking this week, is that there won't be a landslide (TX, AZ, GA). 

Yeah, on the day this story broke I had become convinced she would landslide and win those three states,  maybe more. AZ may still be in play but really this news has demted that chance.

Moreovet, it will affect her presidency,  it gives a reason for repubs to reject any supreme court nominee, she's going to have to act like 2000 George Bush to govern effectively and do Dems have that in them?

Oh why was she up by 14 and now just 1-2?

Because you're delusional and can't do math?

Comey didn't hand Trump the election.  Hillary Clinton sabotaged her own campaign by lying and deceiving and thinking it wouldn't come out in time to do her any harm.

Hillary's still ahead, and the structure of the election still favors her, but she doesn't have the upper hand anymore.  Events are somewhat out of control for her, and the only thing that has saved her is that lots of folks have already early-voted.  Of course, most of the people that have are probably the more partisan voters either way; the more elastic voters are probably still out there, so who knows?  It's certainly not impossible that some additional bombshell about Trump could come out.  The difference, however, is that bombshells about Hillary are about conduct in public life, whereas bombshells about Trump are usually about boorish behavior that (A) is not entirely verified, and (B) factored in somewhat because of who Trump is.

Is the latter unfair?  At a certain level, yes.  At another level, Hillary projects herself as the Holier-Than-Thou-Victim-Of-The-Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy, and her victimstance gets annoying in light of her lying.  If Hillary were an honest and decent person, she'd have weathered this storm better.  But she's not.

[PeteB]

At this point - NO. Clinton will still win.

All indicators - early voting, Trump's ongoing problems (of his own making), Clinton's GOTO advantage and a (very likely) further Trump scandals this week seem to ensure a Clinton Presidency.

What Comey has done is eliminate the prospect of a total Clinton landslide.

We will see how things play out this week.

[WVdemocrat]

No but he certainly tried to.  Which is pretty scary.

It is not the matter of Hillary Clinton. It is the matter of the rest of us. Her transgressions, whatever they are, pale in comparison with what is at stake. Yes, I know, you have joined Trumps murder-suicide cult, and you will not rest until everybody: yourself, your wife, your children, and all of us around here are dead. I do not expect anything else from you. You do this deliberately, and will burn in Hell for that. But any sane individual collaborating in the cult taking over the US would be a criminal. Then, again, I guess, there is no sane individual in that cult: you all have gone nuts.

[elcorazon]

If anything, there is evidence showing that it backfired slightly on the Republicans, so Clinton is till winning

what?
