Nate Silver has him up to 25% now. So he has a shot. Still though Hillary can lose Ohio and Florida and still win. Trump needs to sweep these swing states in order to win.

I don't think she's funny at all.  She's a lot like Amy Schumer.  Say shit Lenny, Bill or Carlin said 30 years ago and toss in some vagina for good measure.

Yes, he does.

There haven't been a lot of high-quality polls in Michigan, for example, and he's been campaigning there. Internal polling might be telling him something.

That said, everything has to go right for Trump to win, but that could happen.

I still wouldn't count out one last Trump controversy, either. Someone leaks his taxes, that mythical "Apprentice" tape with him using the "n-word," a development in the child-rape lawsuit.

Election night is going to be exciting, interesting, and looooooong. We might have to wait for Colorado and Arizona or really late Ohio returns to know for sure who's winning. Unless Hillary wins Florida early.

Yeah I was thinking that this morning.  I doubt it will be 2000 interesting, but I do think it will have drama. If Trump wins, I think Hillary's gonna be very bitter. Not because she's a woman, but because she's upset over the FBI statement and timing, and will seriously consider if she has any recourse. Which she shouldn't, and likely doesn't. It's her own fault, she created this mess.

I said it before tho, this is a 1 term President.

I agree. For one reason, they are so damn old already. They'll both be 74 next election.

This just came out today.  I have no idea how accurate it is:

If she wins and does what Obama wouldn't, (not interested in arguing again who is to blame for gridlock) I don't see why she wouldn't get a 2nd term.  She's not an amateur coming in with a fictitious view on how Washington works.  She can come in there and nominate another Sotomayor for SCOTUS and ensure nothing gets done or she can come in and nominate someone the GOP congress can work with. 

If Hillary is a one term president, she will have no one to blame but herself.  She is in the best position to end partisan gridlock and if she accomplishes that, there's no GOP superstar looming in the background to unseat her.  Though I did hear Hillary was taking bids to host her new Clinton Mail server.  big_smile

The GOP has a SCOTUS nominee they can work with now, a guy they had previously recommended before he was nominated, but still refuse to move forward on. I think if dems take the senate it doesn't give Republicans a lot of leverage to continue obstructing. She knows how to politic too.

I'll agree with you there, but this email thing could drop quick, possibly prior to her swearing in.  Geeez, that could become a clusterfuck. Otherwise shortly after her Presidency. Anyway I'm thinking if some shady stuff appears on Huma's laptop, then it's 4 years of continued gridlock plus congressional hearings, testimony, and accusations against her.
