Hypocrites. In 2012, Obama mocked Mitt Romney saying that he had a 1980's foreign policy when Romney said that Russia was our #1 Geo-political foe. How naive and dangerous. Meanwhile, Hillary was playing Russian roulette with our national security by setting up private servers to handle classified top secret information. Does that sound qualified? Perhaps to political hacks, but to rational people it does not.

As to Trump, he does many things, but defying security laws and procedures he would not; I believe he would strive to protect and promote American interests. That's one of the differences in this election.

Yeah, you have no idea that he wouldn't. That's a projection that no one can really make.

Its sad his supporters have been gullible enough to think he cares about ANYTHING, much less them. We are literally witnessing a massive con job by Nutty Don.

Sounds like a desperate appeal for people to support Hillary. The polls have people shooked.

The con job was in 2008, 2012 and at work in Hillary in 2016. Rome is burning and liberals are fiddling "Trump is dangerous". What irony.

Honestly, that's not too far off the mark. I get the sense Trump will shift his position based on the way the wind is blowing. How much he will be able to achieve is up for debate though. My guess is neither of them will be getting much done though.

He's not really dangerous but he is reactionary. Of course that might alter in the office. You really can't plan for that.

... but ... Romney lost in 2012, didn't he???

So, you are saying if Donald wins 30% of the Hispanic vote he automatically wins the presidency?

Both candidates are doing internal polling to determine exactly how they're doing. Trump looks happy and confident; Hillary is having seizures.

The liberal media may be hoping that Hillary will somehow win the electoral college while being several percent behind, but in reality there have only been two elections where the loser of the popular vote won, and the vote totals were very close in both those elections.

Hillary's only chance is to commit massive vote fraud, but if Trump employs exit pollers and poll watchers, as he's said he will do, there's a limit to how much she can steal. Hillary is in a box. She was always unlike-able, and her serious health issues are turning off a lot of moderate voters, who don't want to elect a dead woman to be president.

More enthusiasm for Trump and he isn't going against an energized Democratic base. That accounts for a few percentage points.
