Polls aside, there is one troubling trend with Trump - he has gotten close, or even overtaken Hillary several times, and each time right as it has happened he has allowed himself to “step in a beartrap” prepared by the media/DNC (ie engaging “Khan” after the convention), or, the latest and by far worst example, his complete unpreparedness to handle the “tag-team” at the first debate, as well as missed “softballs” he should have hit out of the park, which had me wanting to throw something at the TV.
His actions remind me of Ross Perot. Perot could have won the election but every time he took the lead or was ready to, he would pull some stunt to loose all but his hard core supporters votes. He was in the race to put Clinton in office. I wonder about Trump. An average FReeper could and would have kicked Hillery’s ass in that debate.
