I'm up for it Jaxie. Clinton - because her 'Dirty Tricks Propaganda Machine' is bigger, better funded and more adept than Trump's.

You might be right though I have a feeling it's going to be Trump. So let's see if I have a bit of witchery come tomorrow.

And if Trump wins... it will be because his propaganda machine, while certainly not adept, was funded better and was bigger than Hilary's

Isn't that just the way with politics today

That's not so though Mokka - Hilary's 'war chest' is considerably bigger than Trumps.

They both have deep pockets...and deep pocketed supporters. If you think this is the first American election where both major parties rolled out the propaganda machines... you have not been following American politics for very long. As far as I have seen, since the first Bush President, the result has always been about who's propaganda is better... it isnt nessasarly the money behind the propaganda, but the message itself that is being rolled out. Now, if you think Hilary's camp hit lower than Trumps... i will argue you are wrong. Both went to despicable places...but Trump also tried despicable tactics against Obama during his first campaign....and Trump wasn't even on the ticket. Trump created his own negative propaganda this election with his own mouth. If he loses...that's on him.
