It`s been interesting to watch the electoral map change almost daily.

As of today, 15 days out from election day.

Clinton/Kaine 262

Toss Ups/150

Trump/Pence 126



This is a good breakdown of this election and how it compares to past ones.

Carter was 10 points ahead of Reagan and had a run on the electoral map, that is, until the election, and then Reagan won by a landslide.

I listened to Kellyanne Conway this morning and even she said they were behind and not looking good. Also said they will push on for the undecideds.

How many can there be two weeks out....

I have to believe this country isn't stupid enough to put that crook in the white house. Every day we see how much deeper her corruption goes.

Given Trump's abuses of power (such as over eminent domain , something even the National Review condemns), a vote for Trump isn't a vote against corruption. Can't say if he lies more or less than Hillary but his lies are usually easier to see through.

I consider Trump a gift to Hillary. If she can't win against that obnoxious blowhard then she can't win against anybody. And if Trump wins, that will be a very sad day in America for me. I'm not that worried about his presidency because he'll be even more obstructed than Obama was, but my respect for the American people will reach a low I didn't think was possible. Trump belongs on so-called reality TV and Jerry Springer, not in the Oval Office. But perhaps Mencken was right when he said, "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

What if neither Trump nor Hillary are President in 2017? What if an impeachment occurs and one of the VPs becomes President?

1/100 chance but still a chance nonetheless.

I have learned more about people I interact with during this election than ever before.

This very line is the disturbing area that has been exposed in so many:

"the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people."

Trump and the inner souls, how frightening is that .

Hillary, arguably the most corrupt individual on the planet, infesting the white house...how frightening is that?
