Trump could clearly win, i think. There is not enough distance between them to be sure of a result. When there are 2 such awful candidates, it's anyone's contest

[the truth]

The real point is this, trump has reached this point where hes only now 2.7% away from becoming president of the free world...not because of his political brilliance but because fo the total failure of other political leaders and part of that failure is political correctness gone mad.

His Tweet isn't being mocked for throwing out a statistic though it's his suggestion that the people who decided to put women and men together in the Army are the stupid and responsible ones if someone gets raped.....

It's all true. He has no skills suitable for diplomacy or politics, this is a man who spent years sending pictures of his hands to a writer who commented on them in an article. He's petty, quick to anger and is an idiot.

He's a dumb bigoted fool with the behavior of a painfully stereotypical fratboy. He has no place in politics.

hes not saying that exactly...hes saying rape is more likely when you throw a large group of female and male soldiers together. twitter doesnt allow for nuance subtlety and qualifiying comments....then again this is cannon fodder for the trump mockers. either way it wont harm him, he brings up messy issues in a heavy handed way, it wins him loads of haters but loads of supporters too. the mockers are not doing a good job

People need to start taking seriously the very real possibility that Trump is going to win this election. And here's an excellent column by Michael Moore which explains why:

It's the Brexit effect. People are fed up with establishment politics, it's just that unfortunately the people and causes they're choosing to express this disillusion are the wrong ones

I'm here for a Trump win!

[Brother Leon]

The fact it is even a race, shows just how terrible a Presidential Candidate Hilary Clinton is. The Democratic Party establishment got what they wanted though...

[GiRTh]

Shocked but not totally surprised the race has tightened, they always do, but that its still a close contest. As Leon said its shows how poor a candidate HRC is that she cant pull away from this clown. Dont care if anyone if offended by calling him a clown, look at his recent interviews; he clearly doesnt know what he's talking about but hes very good at driving the interview and not letting the interviewer probe him on substance. HRC has finally decided to do a Presser, after months of dodging, but when she did it was dependant on so many rules set by her team. . She has a very low approval rating but seems to think the establishment, Dems and GOP, not the public will get her elected.

Gary Johnson embarrassed him self the other day by asking 'Whats Aleppo' and Jill Stein has her own problem. This is easily the worst bunch of candidates ever in the history of American presidential elections.

HRC probably needs to deal with her image issues head on but doubtful she will do that and thus the race looks like its still going to be close going into October and November. If HRC loses she only has herself to blame. She should have beaten this bunch of clowns by now.

From your link, this is going to be a real problem too I think. It's probably part of why he's such a media sensation... so many people hate this current culture and political atmosphere so much that they're so willing to just set off a little TNT so we can tear it all down and start over... using our own system against ourselves

5. The Jesse Ventura Effect. Finally, do not discount the electorate’s ability to be mischievous or underestimate how any millions fancy themselves as closet anarchists once they draw the curtain and are all alone in the voting booth. It’s one of the few places left in society where there are no security cameras, no listening devices, no spouses, no kids, no boss, no cops, there’s not even a friggin’ time limit. You can take as long as you need in there and no one can make you do anything. You can push the button and vote a straight party line, or you can write in Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. There are no rules. And because of that, and the anger that so many have toward a broken political system, millions are going to vote for Trump not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can. Just because it will upset the apple cart and make mommy and daddy mad. And in the same way like when you’re standing on the edge of Niagara Falls and your mind wonders for a moment what would that feel like to go over that thing, a lot of people are going to love being in the position of puppetmaster and plunking down for Trump just to see what that might look like. Remember back in the ‘90s when the people of Minnesota elected a professional wrestler as their governor? They didn’t do this because they’re stupid or thought that Jesse Ventura was some sort of statesman or political intellectual. They did so just because they could. Minnesota is one of the smartest states in the country. It is also filled with people who have a dark sense of humor — and voting for Ventura was their version of a good practical joke on a sick political system. This is going to happen again with Trump.

He is a spoilt rich kid that never grew up.

..I think not just because someone else had it Dezzy but also because he was pretty much laughed at, as a serious contender as well...like Simon's 'joke act' in the X-Factor, type thing...maybe his team want this but I don't get the impression that he does but more get an impression of, well what now..?../I could actually win this and become President and then what..?..that's the really worrying thing as well, that it's all been some kind of point proving for him because his biggest weakness is not being taken seriously/being the 'joke act' candidate...

That isnt true though, Trump could get 70% of the vote and still lose

Its the person to get 270 electoral votes, not the person with the most country-wide votes. Clintons looking likely to get 290-300 and Trumps to get 240-250.

There are ~154 clearly Republican places and ~229 clearly democratic places, so Clinton just needs 41 of the 155 undecided votes

[the truth]

HRC is seen as establishment pro war and pro corporate elitist take overs with the likes of NAFTA and TTIP...He is seen , at least by his fans as a pro small business, pro white collar workers, rebellious anti-establishment figure. This is the main reason why hes come this far...

[lostalex]

Anyone that thinks Trump winning is even a possibility is crazy. To be fair though I said the same thing about Brexit...
