Scott Adams

I like point 14 from Scott Adam's post today, in response to questions about the infamous Trump tapes just released:
Trump wasn't running for Pope.  He never claimed moral authority. His proposition has been that he's an asshole (essentially), but we need an asshole to fight ISIS, ignore lobbyists, and beat up Congress. Does it change anything to have confirmation that he is exactly what you thought he was?
Adams still gives Trump a 98% chance of winning (not that he wants him to), and thinks there will be a lot more entertaining news before we reach voting day. There has been widespread speculation that the Russians, perhaps via Wikileaks, will release a great deal of hacked stuff very damaging to Hillary just before election day. But I would guess that at this point not much of anything will change people's minds about either candidate.
