The comforting notion that Trump is so repugnant and repulsive, and that since so many routinely mock and ridicule him as an ego maniacal babbling idiot, that in a head to head contest the smooth, articulate, well-versed consummate policy wonk Clinton will make mincemeat of him in the debates and on the campaign trail. This is dangerous. The proof of that is from the moment that Trump declared his candidacy in June, pundits, much of the media, and the GOP and Democrats laughed him off as cheap, sideshow entertainment who would wilt in the GOP debates, collapse under intense media scrutiny, and fade away after the drumbeat attacks on him from the top tier GOP candidates. Well, months later they’re all nearly gone. Not only is Trump still standing, he has gotten even more wildly popular in countless voting circles.
In the showdown with Clinton he’ll have a king’s ransom war chest, a still fawning media that regards him as their ratings cash cow, and a smart, well-honed, well-oiled GOP that smartly stole a big page from the Democrat’s 2008 and 2012 playbook and built a ground game that includes massive phone banks, the creative use of social media, will compile and work the mountains of voter lists, will put hundreds of boots on the ground to work GOP friendly precincts to get out the vote, and will strategically spend on the campaign in the crucial swing states.
This in no way means a Trump White House win. It only means that a White House win is not unthinkable.

“I’m not saying she can’t be defeated, simply that it will be very tough to do it.”
Yup....thanks to all the wannabe re-education camp guards who love her totalitarian demeanor and her hatred of those parts of the Constitution she and they don’t like.
IMHO
Sure. No reason too. We know where the principles stand and why. Why should Trump debate Hillery, unless he wants to. Nothing to gain and much to lose if a gaff is made.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
A refusal to debate would showw fear and that’s a campaign killer.
Trump is plenty smart and he will quickly learn the art answering a question without saying anything difinitive.
I have seen him do it already.
P.S. It's 2016, not 1980...
For the rest of you Cruzers:
Knowing my future, as well as the nations, I think I had rather be run over.
America has a chance to be great again, please consider helping We the People join with Trump to Our County back from the parasite, liers and scallywags.
Oh, and stand back while the GOPee pee gets flushed down the drain...
EOT
Pining for Jeb!?
The crowdsourced “prediction market” over at CNN appears to agree with you. It has Trump at 21% chance of winning at this point.
That said, it *is* CNN, so most of the respondents are almost certainly left-of-center which will skew the result, AND it’s still a long way to November. 6 months is an eternity in politics.
Actually, that speaks even better for Trump's support.
In an open primary, a democrat could choose to vote Republican to "Operation Chaos" the Republican field, but that would occur if they've already resolved THEIR candidate.
They HAVEN'T.
So in this still very competitive race between Clinton and Sanders a bunch of democrats are going to forgo voting in THAT and instead choose to screw up the Republicans?
I don't think so.
No, in that case, if they're committed dems they're going to vote dem to push their candidate. If the instead choose to vote Trump, then they'll vote Trump in the general
Trump wins big!!!
We’ll see. I hear Comey is a straight arrow.
Almost all talking heads are babbling about how Trump will never win—the same thing they have said for the last year about the Republican nomination.
Their amazing track record as total idiots means Trump has a very good chance.
What other profession is there where you can get it wrong over and over and over again and still keep your job?
They must think Bill is running again, surely they don’t mean Hillary!
