I have only just noticed this thread - so I haven't read it all - and I apologize if I am repeating stuff, or stating the obvious
1. A current poll in my home state GA showed Trump only ahead of Clinton by 45-41 !! In Georgia !!
2. Don't forget the Senatorial races down ticket. There is a definite feeling that a big win for Clinton will hand the Senate back to the Democrats
3. Ted Cruz is the most abominable piece of slime on the planet see NYT Article
4. Clinton is having to move to the left under pressure from Sanders - she has to,- to woo his supporters. Good
5. Conversely, Sanders has to be aware that anything other than an strong endorsement of her will harm the Democrats. His supporters may well split the vote otherwise
6. Trump really is a candidate with the educational level of an 11yr old - or he just talks that way because that's the level of his base.
7. Despite the stupid fear of "Socialism" in this country - some polls have shown Sanders beating Trump by a bigger margin than Clinton does.
8. Apparently, top of the list for Trumps VP pick - Newt Gingrich !! . - obviously trying to secure the "cheating philandering scumbag" vote.
Only in America !!!
