If the presidential election were the Olympics, bed-wetting would be a sport and Democrats would be the undisputed gold-medal winners. Every four years, they grouse about their nominee and then freak out when a race they believe said nominee should win looks as though its lost. Remember what happened when President Obama muffed the first debate with Mitt Romney in 2012? And today, the closing poll numbers between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have Democrats in a near panic.
Look, I get it. The race between Clinton and Trump should not even be close. Or, as my colleague Eugene Robinson wrote last week, In a sane and just world, this presidential race would be a walkover. Trump appealed to the darker angels of the Republican Party base with an unabashedly racist, xenophobic, nativist and misogynistic campaign to win the nomination and is continuing same to be elected president.
That the polls are closing or have Trump leading in key battleground states despite this is worthy of a freak-out. But if thats all Democrats do between now and Election Day, then they will have only themselves to blame for the horror that would be President-elect Trump.(continued)

They still don’t get it. Their description is of the #Nevertrump gang. Trump appeals to a whole different electorate.
LOL! Good one!
Personally, I did not believe for a moment that hillary was just going win let alone win BIG. WHAT are her accomplishments? Look how Bernie gave her a run for her money. The ENDLESS scandals.....there is clinton fatigue syndrome out there, just like bush fatigue syndrome. It is just that the republicans had enough sense not to back Jeb in the primaries. And now there is hillary’s health.....which is a real issue.
It is not necessarily a Trump thing. If others like Cruz or Rubio won the nomination, I think the polls would be trending in similar fashion; Trump is just trending stronger than anyone else. (Which is good)
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
