Scott Adams, famed for his Dilbert comic strip, also has an interesting blog. In a recent twitter post, he posited that ISIS could influence the election if it sponsored a big terror attack before election day. Trump has seen his numbers rise after recent attacks as his border wall and Muslim immigration ban look more reasonable. If no attack, the relentless stories of his racism and bigotry lessen approval of these plans and see Hillary's numbers improve comparatively. Therefore, staging or not staging an attack will tell which candidate that ISIS prefers as president.
The goal of his tweet was to see how Clinton supporters reacted to the suggestion that ISIS may prefer Hillary. He called it a Lesson in Cognitive Dissonance. Worth reading.
