It is a sad, disgusting thought--but the odds of avoiding Clinton-2 is small and shrinking.

You think Drumpf mugging for the camera is going to pull him out of his current nosedive?

In the Republican debates, he stood back while the others ripped each other. It'll be one on one.

That is, if Hillary doesn't drop dead from the latest rumored illness while on stage with Mr. Tinymitts. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

OHIO IS TRENDING HRC. SO IS IOWA.

And In Texas, Drumpf's lead is down to six.

This is going to be an avalanche. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

The debates will not help Trump- number one he's not a good debater in the sense of the word. Sorry guys saying insulting remarks and interrupting someone doesn't make you a good debater.

Number 2 he really has nothing to attack Clinton on - the average American could give a rats ass about Benghanzi or her emails. The economy overall is doing well - most Americans view trump as more divisive than Clinton.

I am going to be honest and say in a hypothetical scenario if Obama were allowed to run for a third term and he was facing Trump this November - Obama would win in the biggest landslide victory EVER!!! It would be over before it even started.

You have the 20 percent who are undecided - trump is doing poorly among the independents because he has portrayed himself as an arrogant ass clown and has made huge gaffes where the public views him as a pompous racist.
If you recall in 2012 Romney promoted himself as super conservative during the primaries to appease the tea party voters but once he won the nomination he moved towards the center and distanced himself from his tea party rhetoric.
Trump on the other hand has remained an arrogant racist asshole where either you hate him or love him no in between.
The other major problem Trump has is he's not liked by true conservatives and it's not a secret that many of the 40 percent that he supposed to have locked down will not vote for him.

Jim, I know you are in a state of shock and denial but I will bet everything I own that trump loses big so be prepared and honestly I don't even think Trump wants to be POTUS- there's a reason why he said if he loses the election is rigged. He wants an excuse for being the man who was defeated by the first woman POTUS.

Jim, do you agree that was a horrible statement that Trump made suggesting the system is rigged if he loses?
Can you imagine the outcry if Obama in 2008 and 2012 made a statement like that - we would be saying Obama is playing the race card.

But he has turned that into a situation where he has a minimal chance of winning.

the system IS rigged you obtuse moron. the Dems are the KINGS of stealing votes. Landslide Lyndon anyone? ahaha. Daley "raised the dead" in Chitown. was the guy fuckin' Jesus? not.

Why do you think our fellow republicans are so adamant about voter ID? Who does that benefit more us or DEMS you idiot ?

If Trump resigned tonight--and I doubt his ego will ever allow that--who would the Reps unite behind? It wasn't as if there was one primary opponent, rather it seems like a score of them (only a slight exaggeration). Whoever it was would need to have some very strong support from the rest, AND the group that stays loyal to Trump would have to be relatively small for I doubt they would support anyone else.

I do not expect to see it happen, but it does lead to some interesting speculation.
