Could Trump actually win this election?
There aren't enough undereducated, biased, and just plain ignorant people in this country. And add to them those who are looking forward to profit off of his "policies": weapons manufacturers, Wall Street investors who buy up stocks in the "war" industry, bankers who fund wars, and so many others.
My answer to the question is that Trump can't and won't win. And I believe it's because America doesn't have enough profiteers, ignorant people, or haters.
Maybe i'm wrong, but that's my opinion. What's yours?

7. Come down off the ledge and look at 538.com
Nate Silver has been right 98% of the time on the last 2 cycles.

4. That's what I would have thought about George W. Bush
I know, I know, he didn't actually win. But he came close enough to steal it, and I remember that was almost as shocking as the theft itself.
I think Hillary will trounce him, but I don't take anything for granted. The voting population of this country is easily manipulated by media, and media has been propping Trump up from the beginning. So as another poster said, we have to keep campaigning like we're 10 points behind. GOTV.

11. Bush won because Fl was rigged and Jeb was his brother
However, no Republican governor is going to go out of his way to deliver votes to Trump. They hate him. And they are not about to help him steal the election.

13. To be honest...
I don't know.
We only have a percentage of our citizens that vote. Trump appeals to a lot of FOX-trained voters. Both candidates are dishonest and cannot be trusted, so therefore, might as well vote for the change.
I am not confident that Hillary will win this election. Win or lose, our country is in for some hard times ahead, I fear. The Deplorables will not accept Hillary as a legitimate President, just as they did not accept Obama as President and the House and Senate, if they go along with Trump's agenda, will be a threat to our democracy. The 2nd Amendment people will be in the streets.
The media has created a monster and they cannot "un-create" it.
I am very anxious about the election.

56. We're going to teach his deplorables a valuable lesson after HRCs in power.
Not only is there no way in hell for him to win, we're going to crush the resistance once and for all after Hillarys big win. They're sitting ducks, Hillary will lead and be able to get things done to punish them that Barack never could.
Once again this will fly right over the primitives heads.

At the time I posted this, I was also watching a documentary on the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, where he thrashed Napoleon Bonaparte.
I wonder if that was prophetic; we'll see.

Like mutual funds say in their prospectuses, dummie:
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The primitives are rightfully worried about billary's chances. Time to switch to a winning ticket.
