Additional reasons why Illary will have a difficult time winning:

1) No one can stand her. Those who vote for her do so for strictly ideological reasons. EVERYONE knows that she is incredibly corrupt and the very definition of a liar. At least Jimmy Carter was (at the time) not hated by everyone (”he’s a nice guy, just incompetent”).

2) Illary is coming after 2 terms of not merely an incompetent President of the same party, but someone viewed as being actively anti-American by a large percentage of the population - and Illary hasn’t criticized Obama at all.

3) The economy just SUCKS, and she’s proposed nothing to get it moving again except more taxes, more regulations and more wealth redistribution. Trump, OTOH, has promised less taxes, less regulations, better trade agreements and an immigration policy both intended to benefit the American worker, and he will remove the chains from the entire energy industry (which will help correct our huge balance of payments deficit and employ hundreds of thousands in very high-paying jobs.

4) Illary is, well, ILL.

5) Trump hasn’t started to advertise in a big way - yet. She’s spent about $200 million and that, combined with her “convention bump” has given her...a lead of a couple of points, at best.

6) Julian Assange isn’t through with her yet.

7) She’s not Black - so a lot fewer Blacks will show up at the polls, and of those that do, she’ll get a lesser percentage.

Some good points. The perception we get outside of this contest, here in Canada that is, is what the phony numbers tell us. So we all think the US economy is on recovery mode and unemployment has been driven down to 5%. So my question is do Americans believe the numbers or how things really “feel” to be so for them personally?

One more thing. Canada may be far more socialist, but not a single candidate, for the last couple decades at least, has ever admitted to wanting to increase taxes. That would be a death stroke for anyone running here. Curious that a candidate in the US can say she wants higher taxes and still get the upper 40s in the polls. Are voters not aware of her commitment to higher taxes?
