The 12 Signs That Trump Will Win the White House
The Politico ^ | May 4, 2016 | Matt Latimer

Think the Donald can’t possibly become president? Here’s how it could happen.

Unless the #NeverTrump people have been hiding a mad scientist with a DeLorean in a warehouse somewhere and haven’t gotten around to telling anybody, Donald J. Trump is now the certain Republican nominee for president of the United States. True to form, having learned nothing from their yearlong string of overconfident and embarrassingly wrong predictions about voter behavior and preferences, the D.C. pundit class has already proclaimed him a general election loser.

Not so fast. For the handful of polls that have Trump losing by double digits, there’s one or two that foretell a much closer race. And if enough major chips fall the tangerine billionaire’s way, he may get his shot at repainting the White House metallic gold. Want to know if you should join Lena Dunham on a house-hunting trip in Canada? Here’s a month-by-month guide of the signs of a looming Trump victory....

Sign #10: Trump overperforms in first debate with Clinton. Trump will head to the debate with Clinton with expectations so low that if he shows up with matching shoes on, pundits will call it a win.

Wow! I had predicted that Clinton would not have lasted 10 minutes with Trump, but after her initial anti-Trump advertisements, I don't think she will even get to the debate.

RNC staff told if they’re unable to get behind @realDonaldTrump, “they should leave by the end of the week.” “

Similarly, there is no doubt in my mind that Trump will dismantle the Washington cartel.

Agreed and it is why he has so many enemies on both sides of the aisle. They are crapping their pants that he will shut off and maybe even expose the deep corruption these politicians have been perpetrating on the people of America.

Imagine, maybe in a number of interviews (because it needs to be said a few times before it catches on with people), that he rhetorically asks the question "so how did Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi (insert many other names here) become millionaires while serving in Congress? How was Dennis Hastert able to write a check for five million dollars to cover the damages of his molestation charges?

Yes, they are wetting and crapping themselves......

"Trump did NOT “hire” Ed Rollins. Ed Rollins is running a FAKE “pro-Trump” PAC."

NPR grilled Ed with a straight face this afternoon - it was hilarious, given the whole thing was clearly presented as 'balance' to the preceding 5-minute filibuster from scorned Robot supporter Mark Salter. Salter was one of McCrisis' 2008 crew who threw the election to Bobo...

Dear Matt Latimer: Meet Nate Silver's mea culpa.

You just bought Silver's 1-year extended warranty, you d**b f***.

I agree. That was tragic. President Bush could have interceded, but he didn’t. I never forgave him for that among other things.
