Unfortunately Trump is in so much trouble that we’re grasping at straws for a big scandal to hit Hillary. Looking at http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/, it’s sadly clear how badly Trump hurt himself at the debate (Sept 26).
Forecasts like yours are based on bogus polls that over-sample Democrats based on turnout in previous elections. Conditions are radically different this year. No enthusiasm for the Democrat, huge enthusiasm for the Republican.
So many of us warned on this and were shot down and ostracized.
Unfortunately this is one I told you so bearing no satisfaction.
Agreed. I am still voting for him because I am old enough to remember what hell the Clintons brought to DC with them and I cannot fathom we want our country to suffer in that way again.
LOL. Nate Silver gave Trump a 2% chance of winning the GOP nomination:

Even the libs ignore him now. So why are you posting crap from his site?
You may get flamed by others but I agree that Trump has suffered many self-inflicted wounds. I support him (and have contributed to his campaign) but recognize that he has an entertaining spontaneous personality. While fun to watch, his shoot-from-the-hip style is definitely hurting his campaign. But he’s not going to change. He is who he is.
The frustrating thing for me is that the campaign is not about him, its about the future of the country. If he would just confine his words to the theme of Making America Great Again he would win in a landslide. But he goes off script too much. Nigel Farage is saying the same thing.
