Donald Trump’s chances of winning are approaching zero [Fake News Headline 6 Weeks Ago Today]
Washington comPost ^ | Monday, October 24, 2016 | Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake

The election is in 15 days. And the electoral map just keeps looking grimmer and grimmer for Donald Trump....

...We’re also moving Utah — yes, Utah! — from “lean Republican” to “toss-up” as independent...

...we are adding Texas to our list of competitive states, rating it as “lean Republican.” ....how badly Trump is performing even in longtime Republican strongholds that the debate going forward won’t be whether Texas should stay on the list of competitive races but whether it should move to “toss-up.”

....Clinton now has 323 electoral votes either solidly for her or leaning her way. Trump has just 180.

....Everywhere you look, Trump is underperforming where Mitt Romney was at this point in 2012.

Chris Cillizza writes “The Fix,” & Aaron Blake is senior political reporter for The Fix

So why have these two NOT COMMITTED honorable sepuku? For that matter, how many other pollsters like Sabato, Luntz and others have RESIGNED, let alone hari-kiri! Is there any punishment for their DEM adherence and blindness?

Funny, but I can no longer look at any news or posts before 11/9. It seems like such a different era.

It’s important to note that Trump’s disastrous defeat will also usher in a substantial Democrat majority in the House and Senate.

I fear many state governorships and state legislatures will fall to the Democrats too.

This will almost certainly be the end of the Republican Party!

2012 - Mitt Romney - Texas - 57.2%

2016 - Donald Trump - Texas - 52.2%

What I find chilling is that 95% of those Democrats don’t say, “Trump can’t win” or “Trump will lose the election”

They say, over and over again, that “Trump will never be President of the United States”.

Well, you know what? They’re not wrong yet. Trump is not yet President of the United States. We are all very confident that it is inevitable, but you just saw a lot of people say, without equivocation, that this will not happen. This makes me very uneasy.

Do they know of some remedy that will keep the results of the election from coming to pass?

And if that is the case, it looks like a helluva a lot of people have known about it for some time.

I am laying down a marker. If anything happens between now and Inaugeration Day that keeps Donald Trump from office, I want to hear from all those people who did not say “Trump will lose the election”, and instead said “Trump will never be President”.

What did they know and when did they know it?

They should have added: “Meanwhile, totally ignore the fact that TRUMP has tens of thousands at his rallies while Clinton can barely break a thousand. And her half-wit running mate could only garner democrat campaign workers at his rallies.”
