Re: President Trump

Yes, his campaign has clearly reined him in. Unfortunately, he is experiencing that "solid ten day period" that I feared would put him over the top. Man, he's winning now in NV, which was really a Pacific/Mountain time zone state I was counting on. Without NV, she suddenly has like ZERO ma...

I'm not sure why you don't think I "like" the source. I pray the source is right. I have seen not a single other news source pick up that story other than the super partisan Lawrence O'Donnell. If Hillary wins Florida by 8 points I will buy you a bottle of 1982 Mouton.

Re: President Trump

SurveyMonkey is calling Wisconsin and Michigan a toss-up, which of course is devastating news for Clinton.
A North Carolina television station has Trump +7 there.
Her numbers are not holding.
Florida and Ohio are lost. Looks bad!

By the way…
Watch out for Utah, where that McMullin guy (very impressive, by the way) could pull it out.
Also, keep an eye on Alaska, where several polls have had Hillary ahead, including a poll from a few days ago (pre-Huma) that had her +4.
