Genius statistician Nate Silver has Clinton at 56.8% to Trump's 43.2% as of 15 minutes ago ... the race is competitive, as it should be.

Could be a close armwrestle

I think the demos 'traditional' voters will leave them in droves.
The track record of the democrats is poor.

I think you're right Sprint........the polls seem to show Trump's making inroads into the Black & Hispanic (yes, you heard right....Hispanics.....there are more Spanish speaking voters out there than Mexicans....many more in fact) Black & Hispanic voters......the traditional "
Taken For Granted
" demonrat base voters......for 2-3 reasons...

Hillary isn't seen as doing much, except lip service, for them economically....the message being put out by the Republicans on how they've fared poorly under Obama is hitting home (that Hillary won't do better, probably worse), & secondly being there is no real incentive to vote for Hillary outside of her being a demonrat (the first woman president in history thingie really doesn't seem to excite them like the first Black president allure did), & besides they are seeing her as a frail/sickly candidate, & to get what they want/need/wish for, they would need a stronger, projecting, healthier candidate.......another successful Republican message they're being hammered with.

With that said, I see a lot of those voters, & many white demorats too, either voting for another candidate who can win, or staying home & skipping this election.

A new day has dawned in America and Clinton's chances of winning/losing are essentially unchanged: 60.3%.

I suspect the upcoming debates will be the most important since Nixon v JFK. Trump has new handlers which are framing him in a new way ... and it seems to be working. But the debates will leave him exposed. He has nothing to gain from the debates since what he is and has been doing is working fine but could he refuse to do the debates without destroying his chances?

Will Hillary choke?

Will Hillary cancel ?

Trump has little to gain from the debates and a lot to lose. If anyone "cancels" it would be him. And it wouldn't be unexpected. He has been a bitchy little baby about the moderators, careful that no one would dare fact-check him.

He's picking Trump to win based on the formula he uses.. although.. he said that this was not a certainty as Trump is a unique character etc..

Why isn't he questioning claims like this?

Quote:

Hillary’s top donor country is selling off ISIS sex slaves. That’s right, SEX SLAVES. Hillary takes millions of dollars from these savages who ABUSE women and gays – yet she calls herself a “champion of women” and “pro-gay?”

No, sorry, that hypocrisy won’t work anymore, lady. Hillary calls Trump supporters “deplorable” yet she TAKES MONEY from men who sell women as sex slaves, stone women, and don’t allow women to drive? How can any women or gay person support this monster?
