Trump has the potential to really capitalize on the independent/undecided voters. If Hillary does max out at 45% and the 3rd party candidates at 3.5% (cumulative - my guess), that leaves 51.5% for Trump. That would do it, but I think the Electoral college will be closer than I would like (please Trump, somehow get at least 300 EVs).
45% is way too high. Hillary is nowhere near as popular as her husband. She is a nasty woman.
People can’t stand her and for that reason alone, she’ll get fewer votes than a D normally gets when they lose.
Trump should win with around 53-54% of the vote and close to 300 EV.
It won’t be a landslide but it will be an impressive win nonetheless. MSM doesn’t think it will happen.
But then they live in an alternate universe no one else lives in and they can’t imagine in their tight elite circle - any one else voting for any one but Hillary.
That’s how they think.
