Very true. People are sadly mistaken if they think Hillary is a lock. For god's sake, 46% of the country voted for Sarah Palin to be an old man's heartbeat away from the presidency.

You really think it would be THAT difficult for Trump to get 50%?

If Romney couldn't get 50% why would Trump?

You could probably make a case for it but I haven't heard anything but vague "muh working class whites" talk.

The media loved Obama. They did not relentlessly destroy his reputation with faux scandals.
