#1 State by state is what matters. And that looks far worse. Utah for instance, what the heck is going on there? Wicsonsin has flipped for CLintona s well, and Trump is reducing his operation in Virginia 9i.e. giving up those electoral votes).

Ask President Gore how important National votes are compared to state votes.

#2 It's as if all the media hysteria of the past week was designed to demoralize the Republican establishment. Not Trump voters (myself now included), because they understand the media industrial complex is the Democrat Party. At least I an now a bit more positive about our ability to climb out of the shit we've been mired in for some time now, as a significant number of citizen finally see the light, and they are pissed.

#4 This goes to show you just how bad Hillary is. Put it this way - Hillary still trails, despite the US Government injustice department covering her crimes up, the press in a headlong rush to cover her scandals up, and then holding damaging things until the worst last moment on Trump, and Trump himself being the worst giant turd of a candidate.

Remarkable just how bad Hillary is. She (and Trump, ironically) goes to show you just how badly some people can fool themselves into supporting scumbags because of a personality cult.

The best this means is Trump may actually beat her. The worst is that she wins but is so crippled even the press and bureaucrats can't hold her humpty dumpty government together and she becomes an abject lesson in failure as president.

The very best outcome for the country is that they both have illnesses which keep them from office, and we welcome President Pence to office.

(FYI, many of us warned you about the dirt on scumbag Trump not coming out until now, back in winter and spring when we could have elected someone other than this bozo, because any of them were polling as stomping Hillary flat - this is a fight that didn't need to happen had the whole personality cargo cult been a driver in this election).

#5 ....fool themselves into supporting scumbags because of a personality cult.

Personality cult? She has no 'personality.'

Please repeat after me 'ROE V. WADE.' Again 'ROE V. WADE.'

#6 Oldspook, the other 16 Pubs ran poor campaigns. Sadly.

#9 Typically they sample more Democrats than Republicans to account for the supposed percentages among the population. I wonder if they are keeping those percentages up to date.

#10 The problem is this is a national preference poll, not the state by state. The reality is, Trump now needs to figure out how to win the electoral college without Pennsylvania (down by 9 at the latest) and Virginia (pulling out).

With formerly solid GOP states like AZ, NC, GA and OH as tossups, this becomes unlikely. Not to mention big must-have states like Florida.

To win the election, All Hillary has to do is hold the states that are polling "solid" or "likely", and grab 10 electoral votes more from the "tossup" states.

That means Trump MUST run the table in OH, NC, GA,FL,AZ, and *Minnesota*. Period. Trump loses even one of those and Hillary takes even ONE of those and she is President.

Now after doing that, there are 2 EV left in Maine, 6 in Iowa and 6 in Nevada. Maine doesn't matter, its not enough to put either of them over the top. Trump needs 1 of the 2, Hillary needs both.

So there you have it. Popular polls mean nothing. State polls mean everything, especially in those must-win formerly GOP states OH NC GA and AZ, and of course Florida.

The joker in the deck, the one that could give Hillary the race is Minnesota - the state where the state penitentiary inmates fraudulently elected Al Franken to the senate.

Let that sink in.

#11 One last note: if McMillian (or whatever the guy's name is) wins Utah, and Trump otherwise runs the table, the US House of Representatives will elect the President.

#12 Oldspook, the other 16 Pubs ran poor campaigns were just as bad as Hillary. Sadly.

#13 Utah for instance, what the heck is going on there?

Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz and Glen Beck.

#14 ..so Utah would rather have Hillary appoint the next 2 to 3 SCOTUS justices to strike down the 1st and 2nd Amendment? At least the Mouth released his list of potential appointees which didn't send tectonic shocks among 'conservatives'.

What an absolute crock. Our problem this year was the nomination process. Period.

#16 Save Mr. Trump being the beneficiary of the most incredible Hail Mary pass in political history, I believe we should get used to another President Clinton for that time which we as a Nation have left.

#17 Abu, telling me Rubio or Cruz is just as bad as Hillary? REALLY?

Im going to give it to you Army style: Are you genuinely that fucking stupid? Saying they are the same as a criminal, an abortion promoter, a Soros lackey, a serial liar, someone who leaks classified, someone whose political enemies conveniently end up dead - that takes an intellect of the sort that spends most of his slack-jawed time drooling on his shoelaces.

Stop and think about what you just said - and consider that grand idiocy of that sort is exactly why people think Trump supporters like you are angry fools.

#18 Prepare to fight now. We know the battle coming up. We pretty much know its going to be Hillary. We now have to target Congress to win it, and then find them some spines - and concentrate on replacing McConnell and other appeasers in the next round of elections.

#19 Neither Romney nor Cruz are active in Utah. Stop with the conspiracy idiocy. Trump dissed Mormons, and expects it to not have consequences? Its Trump who is screwing up by opening the door for the morality play, which fed McMullen and the splinter group. Stop being blind and having to make stuff up to excuse your candidate's horrible performance. The adults are getting tired of this crap from childish minds - and we are the ones who are going to have to try to clean up your mess.

#20 Why am I still fighting? Its what I know, and I owe at least that much to the generations that follow. Otherwise why do any of the things we did to win the cold war, and all the conflicts following them?
