The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[myboynoah]

This can't be true. MBN and others mocked me for worrying that Trump could actually win this thing.

I'll continue to mock and lol at your distress.

Look, you're the one choosing to ride a sickly horse that nobody likes or trusts, and whose best asset is that she is not The Dump.

The Dump is not going to win. Sadly*, The Scold will. I take solace in that we will only have her for four years and The Scold will be relegated to becoming the most unpopular president in U.S. history.

Somebody write that down.

Write in Mitt!!!

* Sadly, not because The Dump will lose (The Dump losing should be celebrated like VE and VJ days), but because The Scold is such a horrible, horrible person.

You are mischaracterizng my position. You also appear to have no rational basis for your certainty. Trump could actually win this thing.

I'm happy for you to clarify your position. I'm under the impression that you are voting for The Scold because The Dump must be stopped.

Rational basis for my certainty? I watch the news. The guy is a buffoon. His people are buffoons. I trust the American voter.

Now, she could do some crazy thing and put her certainty in jeopardy, but it's going to have to be pretty bad and I don't see why that should be rewarded. All she needs to do is stay safely in the right lane at 55 mph and she'll win. The Dump is off on some crazy road going sideways. Occasionally he finds his way back to the main road, but it is only to cross to the other side to reach other crazy roads.

It is hard to believe there are that many dumbasses that would vote for Trump... or Clinton.

#FeelTheJohnson

That was pretty rude of you. You just called 24 of our fellow posters dumbasses.

Very intimidating to someone who is insecure. If I find it necessary to vote for Clinton or Trump, I now won't admit it.

Clinton will likely win, but this thing is getting closer every day. 538 had this thing at Trump with less than a 20% chance of winning just before labor day. He is now up to 37.5% in just 10 days and Hillary's health issue are going to continue to push that number up. Nate Silver has been a pretty good prognosticator on the last several election cycles, the dude is a witch doctor.

RCP has the electoral vote coming out 293 to 245 for Hillary. However, NC is tightening at may be slipping over to Trump. That would bring the split to 278 to 260! Amazing how quickly the gap has closed. Hillary could get this thing back on track but the trend is not going well for her at the moment. If she doesn't put this health questions to rest, she is going to lose.

I am not pro-Clinton. I am anti-Trump.

If your logic about Trump were true, he would have been obliterated in the primaries. You are just going on faith now. Yes, she is a horrible candidate. Which is exactly why he has a legit chance.

C'mon. You're seeing the exact opposite right now! He's still the same crazy, and yet the race is tightening. All it will take is another Clinton health scare, and Trump will start leading in the polls.

You're giving the electorate far too much credit. After all, they chose Clinton and Trump in the first place.

I do t think so. When they talk people don't like them. Trump has managed to shift the focus to her negative health without him being present. But as soon as he gets out there again, like during a debate, people will be shocked at his buffoonery and will agree with powell, they would rather not vote for her but have to do so.

To hear them is to dislike them but they will dislike her less.

That is an interesting perspective. I have perceived that many in the media believe that the debates are more favorable to Trump. It will be interesting to see it play out.

Clinton is not a great debater. Her tone is scratchy and she too long winded in her answers (similar to John Kerry). Trump sounds dumb to people that are highly intelligent (like most of this board) but he appeals to a lot of America with his 4th grade vocabulary and bombastic promises.

And?

She's a horrible candidate and a horrible person. That drags her down, but he's such a buffoon all she needs to do is cruise control to victory. He'll do something stupid here pretty soon that will bring his numbers back down. It's his cycle. That's science.

Trump has a following that is going to get him at least 40% off the bat. That next 11% is near impossible unless she comes across as even more horrible than she has already. If she does that, she deserves to lose and you can take out your anger and angst on her. Like that basket of deplorables comment. How can anyone not deplore her for that comment? She deserves to lose if she keeps that up.

But this is not going to happen.

It has been interesting to see BJ Clinton bumbling and stumbling on the campaign trail. He has most definitely lost a step. Two days ago he stated that his wife frequently faints, before trying to correct the slip and then yesterday he said he didn't understand why so many people were worked up about his wife having the flu, since millions of people get the flu every year. Oops!

In this election, 40% could win it. Especially with so many people writing in candidates.

You and I clearly disagree on just how awful Trump is.

Has anyone heard whether Trump has a larger percent of the Evangelical vote than Romney did.
