Trump Bombshell Speculation

[LimoLiberal]

So we now have two sources confirming that they're will be some sort of Trump scandal story being released sometime next week

Rick Wilson in this set of tweets: https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/792212396202876928

And Frank Luntz in these tweets: https://twitter.com/FrankLuntz/status/792360215291138055
                                                https://twitter.com/FrankLuntz/status/792372537975902209

Note the second one, which indicates he knows about a specific big story coming out next week.

I trust Frank Luntz a lot more than Rick Wilson on this thing, as Rick Wilson has been hinting at it for three weeks with nothing really to show.

So, discuss. Will there even be a bombshell? What will it be? Will anybody care?

Ralston, too:

"With the uncertainty of the new email revelations – and more October Surprises surely on the way – here’s what the data tells us".

If nothing else, it is a curious bunch of talk. I wonder what they know, or think they know.

It really depends on the type of material evidence it is and how scandalous it will be to his constituents and whatever voters are still on the fence.

Only one Luntz Tweet there, but from that one alone, I'm not sure he's discussing anything specific, so much as saying bad news drops seem to come on a weekly basis

[Green Line]

I can't tell if Luntz is actually hinting at anything or just saying that there is always another Trump scandal popping up.

Unless it's something like the N word, I don't know what will hurt him.  The sexual comments are already out there, so more of those won't do much.  Talking about Russia/Putin?  Most Americana are more outraged by sex/bad language I would think.

Yeah, that's just as likely for all of them. Weird that it's on all of their minds, but not that weird.

Hopefully it's something substantive. While I don't think Comeygate is a devastating October surprise like the desperate Trump sheep, if the headlines change to a Trump controversy or even anything unrelated to emails it will help keep her on track.

[LimoLiberal]

I think Luntz is clearly saying he knows about a specific story dropping next week. See this tweet:

"There's a particularly big one coming next week".

There has been persistent rumors that it might have something to do with a mistress, and possibly abortion, but thats all speculation. But it definitely seems like something Trump would do.

An abortion would probably be the single most damaging thing that could come out, but it would have to be a recording of Trump.  Words on paper won't do it.

[Confused Democrat]

I'm a fan of the theory that it will have something to do with trump paying/forcing/threatening a mistress to have an abortion.

Or him saying the n-word.

Either of those would be fatal.

I'm not buying any of this, but that could just be pessimism on my part. I've certainly never had much time for Luntz, and Wilson's teasing has not yet yielded anything of substance AFAIK.

[They not like us]

Please be the n-word.

[Fusionmunster]

Wilson is usually full of hot air, Luntz on the other hand...

Me neither, but I like to speculate about it.

I doubt that'd turn anyone against Trump who wasn't already against him, honestly. Except the last one, of course.

[Virginiá]

Did any of the big Trump stories that dropped this past year have pre-warnings like this?

Anyway, if it's going to restore the previous pro-Clinton trajectory, it probably has to be at or close to levels of the Access Hollywood tape - something that can reset public opinion almost instantly, considering people are voting en masse now. Audio, video or picture required. Though I imagine a full copy of Trump's tax returns for one or more years would be good, especially if it showed a ton of shady-looking stuff. However, the previous story on his taxes kind of reduces the "shock value" of such a story.

I agree. N-word, C-word, B-word, whatever (this is starting to sound like Betsy McCaughey), won't affect anyone's perceptions any further. Has to be something of substance.

[Fargobison]

The abortion speculation would definitely be a bombshell, watching the fallout from something like that would be insane.

I hope this isn't it, because it's not enough. https://t.co/pbJLyIdjjP

I agree about the C and B-word, but the N-word is a whole nother ball game.

[Person Man]

I still think an abortion would be pretty big. It was how the world was saved once on South Park.

They said next week.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Anything that gets the news cycle focused on Trump will help Clinton.  For the most part in this election, both candidates have done better when the spotlight is on their opponent.
