"A poll by CBS News says that 82% of Americans are disgusted with the presidential campaign. Pretty much everyone I know can't wait until the vote is over. There is a tradition of nasty campaigns in America going all the way back to John Adams versus Thomas Jefferson. But in this computer age where internet smears dominate the discourse, critical mass has been reached. All of that negative emotion can be destructive. Talking Points has tried to cover the campaigns in a fair way and I believe we have succeeded. We do not cheap shot the candidates, but we do not shy away from telling you the truth about them. You know that we believe many far-left policies are damaging the USA, and Hillary Clinton is embracing those policies. My problem with Hillary Clinton is twofold: She is not candid in her assessment of herself and she has veered sharply to the left. On the other side, Donald Trump, who has been accessible to us, is not experienced in dealing with complicated geopolitical matters. If elected, he will have to rely heavily on advisors and we do not know whether Mr. Trump will listen to them. Whoever is elected will enter office as the most unpopular victor in history. There is simply too much bitterness for it to evaporate in a matter of weeks. Talking Points respects sincerely held beliefs, even those that go against my conscience. But we are not seeing that kind of respect in this campaign. Here's a vivid example. Last week the Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre where I live issued a heartfelt letter on abortion. While the bishop did not take a political side, he clearly states that anyone who would support taking the life of a late-term baby for anything other than the life of the mother is participating in a grave injustice. The bishop and every other cleric in this country have a perfect right to state that position without being attacked or scorned. Hillary Clinton's position is that any late term abortion should be acceptable if the mother's health is in some kind of jeopardy. But as we all know, health could mean anything, which is why there are laws against late-term abortion. Mrs. Clinton's position is extreme but has gone relatively unnoticed. Finally, we never endorse candidates here. We never tell you for whom to vote. We also understand that this campaign has been awful for the spirit of this nation."

The Factor welcomed Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who outlined how FNC will cover Tuesday's election. "We will be monitoring exit polling in battleground states throughout the day," Baier said, "but it will be sequestered and private until the first polls close at 7:00 PM. All the major media organizations will compile and examine the data. But remember that the exit polls in 2004 were wrong, so our decision desk will use computer models to combine the exit polls with the actual raw votes."

FNC's Brit Hume, who has covered eleven presidential elections, put forth his thoughts on the state of the race. "There has been momentum towards Donald Trump," Hume observed, "but it's not that his numbers have moved up very much. A segment of Hillary Clinton's support has collapsed, and that could recover over the weekend. If she fades enough, he could win." The Factor concluded that interested viewers should focus on three battleground states: "If Trump manages to win Florida and North Carolina and Ohio, it will be a long night. But if he loses any of those three, it will be a short night."

Many Republicans, including members of the Bush dynasty, declared that they could never vote for Donald Trump. Jon Meacham, who authored a biography of George H.W. Bush, gave his take. "I think it's wrong to assume that George W. Bush will vote for Hillary Clinton," Meacham said, "even if he's most likely not voting for Donald Trump. The Bushes have been in national politics since 1952, they have been the architects of the universe that Trump wants to blow up. So why would anyone expect the Bushes to vote for Trump, they don't believe he should be president." The Factor theorized that this is a personal feud, saying, "Donald Trump attacked Jeb Bush and even humiliated him, that's what the driving factor is."

Hillary Clinton has maintained a substantial lead among female voters, while Trump leads with men. 'The Five' co-host Dana Perino joined The Factor to scrutinize the gender gap. "In some states where Donald Trump is starting to climb back," she said, "he is doing better with women. He needs about 45% of the women's vote to win, but Romney only had 44% and McCain had 43%. Trump does very well with non-college educated men and they tend to live in battleground states." The Factor declared, "If Trump gets more than 45% of women, he'll win the election."

Californians are on the verge of legalizing marijuana for recreational use, even though Colorado and Washington have suffered some ill effects after legalization. Eric Bolling and Geraldo Rivera discussed the issue. "The statistics are alarming," Rivera conceded, "but marijuana will certainly be legalized in many states. As we legalize, we need an intensive public education campaign. The real public health hazard to the poor people smoking pot has been getting arrested for pot!" Bolling added that legalization has economic benefits. "If every state legalized marijuana, you'd raise something like $18-billion in tax revenue. That could go a long way toward paying for treatment." But The Factor argued against legalization, saying, "If you're going to lose yourself in the world of intoxication, you're not going to succeed."

Donald Trump, an ubiquitous presence on TV during the primaries and the general election, has avoided interviews in recent days. Political observers Michael Maslansky and Justin Wallin analyzed Trump's decision. "This is smart," Maslansky said, "because he is still his own worst enemy. If he went out and talked to the media, he could lose control. Right now the story is all about Hillary Clinton and the FBI, so why take attention away from that?" But Wallin argued that Trump should be doing national TV interviews. "Team Trump is terrified that he'll say something whacky, but his one advantage is that he has gotten billions of dollars worth of media coverage. He can generate news and he can't just rely on gravity to bring Hillary Clinton down."

Maureen Brennan, Aurora, CO: "I don't understand why there isn't outrage that Hillary Clinton's aide, Huma Abedin, was working for the State Department and the Clinton Foundation at the same time."

Jeff Tedrick, Summerfield, SC: "Bill, you are the most naïve person in the world if you don't know why Hillary Clinton will not do an interview with you. When Trump's your guest, you hammer him worse than the FBI did with Hillary."

Dr. Sol Motola, Phoenixville, PA: "I believe The Factor covering who the Bushes are supporting will have a negative effect on Donald Trump. Please reconsider."

Lei Meng, Xiamen, China: "I believe the election of Trump would indicate that traditional American values and the market economy will be upheld."

The singer Pharrell Williams has accused anti-Clinton voters of gender bias, saying, 'She don't lie more than any other politician does.' Williams is best known for his runaway hit 'Happy,' which is not a bad song to soak in when things get even more intense on Tuesday.
