Will Trump vs. Clinton be a nailbiter?
CNN ^ | May 21, 2016 | Stephen Collinson,

Democrats knew a general election battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would be rough, but many never considered the potential of a nailbiter.

During a primary in which Trump usurped the GOP establishment, alienated crucial sectors of the general electorate on issues like immigration and abortion and dinged his own approval ratings, many Democrats salivated at talk of a November duel with the billionaire.

Now, as Trump prepares for a general election showdown, veteran Democrats warn there is little room for complacency.

"It will be close," said Mark Alderman, a veteran Democratic Party fundraiser who worked on President Barack Obama's transition team.

This is what progressives do best.
Whistling past the graveyard.

I couldn't care less what they choose to do.

Yep - Hillary and company will be the ones biting their nails to the quick.

A month or so ago they were "hoping Trump would be the nominee so she could walk all over him".

Now, with over five months until the election, they are calling it "close".

By October they will be slinging $#!t from a thousand directions 24/7 in the hopes of finding something that will stick - and they will be losing ground as they flail.

GO TRUMP!!!

After the 2 conventions, Trump will hit 5-10 point lead. By the end of summer, Hillary will claim health problems and drop out, allowing dems one last chance to steal the election with new candidates.

As long as he continues to take it to her - it will be a landslide.

Of course, someone needs to get the vote other as if it will be a nailbiter - leave nothing to chance, please.

Not going to happen. Hillary will drag herself into the general, even though the Donald will have at it.
