Personally, I think it is likely not a coincidence, but I wonder if perhaps deployed a tad early.
Early voting has already or will soon be starting in some states. This has become a bigger thing over the years than it used to be. Most voters still vote on election day, but in swing states where the margin may be very close, early voting is not an insignificant factor these days and, if you were going to release an "October surprise", if you waited until late October, a lot of votes would already have been cast with voters unable to take them back no matter how much they might regret them in the wake of whatever revelations might take place between when they cast the ballot and election day for the non-early voters.
In any event, I don't think this tape of Trump is a political trick. It came from one of those Hollywood shows, where the only political agenda they have is kissing up to celebrities.
On the other hand, I do think today's release of Clinton's speeches to Wall Street was absolutely released intentionally to influence the election- by Russia. I think people should be a lot more worried that an authoritarian opponent of human rights who invades and occupies countries and jails political dissents while shuttering media outlets, Vladimir Putin, is trying to get Trump elected by illegally hacking US government communications and the records of our political parties (Well, one political party), and is slowly releasing them to try to get his puppet, Donald Trump, who's campaign manager worked on behalf of Putin's former puppet leader in the Ukraine and was paid in rubles, elected.
I mean, this whole thing with the Russian hacking and Trump is like the Manchurian Candidate and Watergate all rolled up into one. People should be very concerned that the Russians are interfering in our elections to try to elect Trump.
In any event, Trump's comments speak for themselves. His attempt to say that Bill Clinton makes comments like that, too, lacks a) proof and b) relevancy. There's no audio of Bill saying anything like that, and, if there were, it wouldn't matter, because Bill isn't the one running for President. Hillary is the Clinton running against Trump.
There is a clear choice in this election. Its between a capable experienced level-headed mature leader in Clinton and an under-qualified fascist demagogue in Trump. People know what the right thing to do is here. They may not like Clinton, but she'll be a decent President, she's a normal candidate. Trump is pure evil and is a step towards totalitarianism- he is a uniquely bad candidate in the history of this country.
I'm with Hillary.
