I can't answer for Boreas, but the meaningless buzzwords and catch phrases of political rhetoric don't interest me in the least.

As opposed to those that vote for Trump because.... At least it's not Clinton?

Two sides of the same coin.

Saying that it's the the reason given by people for voting for one or the other candidate isn't the same as saying that a person would use that as the reason for changing their vote. Can you actually envision a Trump supporter waking up on election day and deciding to vote for Clinton because she isn't Trump? Can you see the reverse happening?

With the possible exception of a capitulation on the part of the few remaining Berniacs, something I've already reluctantly done, I don't see the election results being much different from the current polling. Either candidate could win narrowly. Why this is so is a call for some serious soul searching, an autopsy if you will, on the part of the Democrats. At this late date, how on earth can it be so close?

If there is another Wikileaks dump and if there's anything remotely questionable in them regarding Clinton, she's toast.

Yep. Fantastic convention. The Hillfolk are drowning out Brats whenever they start acting up.

Perhaps, but there are a lot of people in the middle thoroughly sickened by the whole sorry spectacle who have yet to decide whether to abstain or hold their noses and vote. Count me among them.
