I could go on, but you get the idea.
Yes, but most Americans are not voting for Trump because of what I said. Your reasons are not that important for the average Joe Blow of the world that only hears the sound bites.

Can I ask:

Why are you voting for Hillary?

Do you actually believe in Hillary?

I vote for the best person suited for the job that I have a choice of,and that would be Mrs Clinton.

He will loose because he couldn't control his twitter habits, couldn't stop to think before speaking. In short he just couldn't control his mouth and keeps some opinions to himself. It also didn't help that he had nothing but a very biased media doing all they could to ensure a Clinton victory.

This was/is a very winnable election for the Republicans, if Trump loses, he will have plenty of time to consider how his own actions influenced the outcome of the election.

Of course, he won't admit to doing anything wrong but I am sure there will be a great deal to think about. Let's just hope a losing Trump doesn't hurt the country's ability to govern itself with his paranoid prognostications of how the corrupt system is rigged against him.

Someone said today "Trump lost as soon as he came out and called Mexican rapists." He alienated one-quarter of the electorate right off the bat.

I don't think it is/was winnable. I think a supermajority of the country elects based on party lines, and those current demographics lean with a large favor to the Democratic Party.

We will see how Trump fares with the swing states tomorrow, but he has many to win, and his competition very few.

I'm more curious how the popular vote pans out.

He had to run as the person that he is. Had he run in the general election 180 degrees from what he was in the primary I don't think he would have got the following he has now, which keep in mind is very high for a loose cannon, non-politician. He is running against someone who is the definition of a career politician, and yet he may win. It's not like he's 30% in the polls or something. It's damn close. Win or lose, what he did was impressive and done through the sheer force of his personality.

I think that speaks more towards the great reservations many have with Clinton. If the GOP had an actual serious candidate I'm sure Clinton would be done already. She did not really have a good campaign. She had her email scandal over her head and the FBI drama. Her debates, which used to be a strong point, where not that great either if not to say underwhelming. There was (is) also her health speculation that was in the news..... No by all accounts not a very strong campaign but yet she is still the favorite (supposedly) and I think because the alternative is freaking Trump! It's also highlighted that the libertarian candidate got so much exposure this time and even the newish "Green Party" could a bit of coverage. So desperate was (is) the public for a suitable candidate.......

It was a double edged sword. It made him very unpopular among Hispanics but some republicans loved that he was speaking like that.

When the progressives attempted to redefine sex itself thought the political and social engineering tool of same sex marriage...Millions of people were insulted and afraid to speak up because they would be swarmed by the well organized progressives...NOW these perturbed straight traditional people who stand up for the nuclear family are about to speak up at the ballot box.

This election is about normal verses small highly vocal special interest groups...it is about sexuality....
