So I guess everybody is running as a third-party Johnson, Stein, maybe Ventura and maybe Rommey

Holy fuck.

I don't expect that to hold, but if flipping Georgia is contested...

Ooh, maybe my dreams of the collapse of the Republican Party really will come true. :)

That said, I do not want people to get complacent and assume the Democrats have already won. A major calamity, like a major terrorist attack or economic crash, could shift things in the fascist's favour. And polls can be unreliable, of course. And we don't yet know how bad Bernie or Bust and such will get if Clinton is, in fact, the nominee. Nor how much the Right will cheat.

Let's not get complacent. Let's not settle for a close race on low turnout. Let's do everything we can to make this a historic blowout. :)

There is one thing that is for certain- this will be no normal, run-of-the-mill election.

It may split into two parties and eventually go the way of the Whigs. Trump's constituency isn't going to go anywhere, especially if Clinton is elected.

Nah, the Whigs equivocated on slavery, Texas, and to a degree, tariffs. They ended up divided on and weak.

It is the solemn and patriotic duty of all true Americans to prevent the election of Donald J. Trump as the next President of the United States by use of the ballot box.
Even if it means you might have to be called for jury duty!

And when he loses, they may need to put a suicide watch on him. He'll be tagged a HUGE LOSER with the most fluorescent indelible ink that never comes off. Ever.

Yep, they better get a padded wall penthouse apt. ready for him.

Do you know anyone personally with a giant ego? If not, I envy you.

Trump the liar will surely say that, but he won't be doing that privately. He'll be the most unhappiest of campers in the world.

The republicans are very divided and if the party continues being split, will weaken significantly.

On the contrary, his ego is exactly the reason he won't care. This whole campaign has been an exercise in ego, not an attempt to win. He's doing this for amusement. I'm sure he'd love to win, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if he didn't.

I have to disagree. I thought that at first last summer, but he's totally 100% serious now. He wants to know whats really going on in the world plus he wants the highest honor, to be POTUS.

IMHO he clearly thinks he's entitled to it as well.

Poll is ridiculous. Discounts the admittedly remote possibility of Sanders as the nominee, but more importantly, any prediction about the outcome is premature now.

Its six God damn months away. A lot can happen, good or bad, in six months.

As far as Trump's chances are concerned, that is the really frightening part.

Well, if the situation remains roughly as it is now, I would predict a Clinton victory, possibly a landslide.

But there are still too many what ifs at this point to get complacent.

Hillary is just flat out horrible. She killed 13 soldiers and lied about it.....and is now running for president. That makes me cringe with anger. Trump will use that against her. He will be her. But it will be close. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
