Many have thought the disclosure of a 2005 lewd tape that featured Trump bragging about groping women was game-changing. Republicans have lined up to abandon the seemingly collapsing Trump Tower, while a parade of 11 women has come forward to publicly accuse him of sexual assaults.
Back then, even Wikileaks' release of thousands of hacked Clinton's campaign chairman, exposing her campaign machination and her family charitable foundation, could not save Trump from sliding in the polls.
Then came a renewed FBI emails investigation. FBI Director James Comey's announcement that the bureau would investigate more emails potentially related to Clinton's private server came as the most surprising of the October Surprise.
Worrying the news could swing the election to Trump, the Clinton camp and her fellow Democrats launched a ferocious attack on Comey whom they have praised as a model of justice when he recommended no criminal charges in July for her handling of classified information as secretary of state.
The about-face on the Trump side came equally fast. The New York real estate tycoon, who has cited the FBI and the Department of Justice's handling of the email scandal to claim a "rigged" election against him, praised the FBI for having the "courage" to "right the horrible mistake that they made."
With the uNPRecedented negativity and partisanship, the October surprises added more fuels to the roller coaster election that has tested political norms and the stomach of voters.
