Electoral Maps Predict
Trump Is Done!
While Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton continue to slug it out for 3 more weeks until the 2016 presidential election, almost all of the respected electoral maps are collectively predicting Donald Trump will NOT be president.
Politics
In a series of individual polls conducted by such respectable organizations as The Associated Press, FiveThirtyEight, CNN, NBC, ABC, NPR, and others, the consensus is the same: put a fork in it, because this race is over!
To be elected President of the United States, a candidate needs to obtain 270 electoral votes. According to the polls, Hillary Clinton is already near or even well above that magic number. In fact, many polling organizations are now reporting that traditionally Republican states such as Arizona, Georgia and Utah could be in play for Mrs. Clinton. No wonder Republicans are eager to hurry up and cut ties with Donald Trump.

DISCLAIMER: Please be reminded that the following information is in regards to polls and not actual events. The polls are merely predictions of how organizations believe the general public will vote on election day. It is still imperative that all registered voters go to the polls and cast their ballots, as polls mean nothing until all ballots are cast and counted.

Here are the predictions:

Additional polling was conducted by Crystal Ball 2016, Princeton Election Consortium, Cook Political Report, Rothenberg & Gonzales Ratings, The Fix, and Louis Jacobson/Governing 2016. Interestingly, ALL of the polling organizations came to the identical conclusion in predicting a horrific election night for Donald Trump and the Republicans. Hillary Clinton begins the election within a few points of, or already beyond the 270 required electoral votes needed to win. Not a single poll gives Donald Trump a chance in hell of winning the presidency in 2016.
If accurate, the polling data is great news for everyone involved. After 8 years of the Barack Obama presidency, Democrats will be delighted to rule the White House for at least another 4 years. The GOP will jump for joy at a Trump defeat, since it will prevent a madman from hijacking their party as the defacto leader. Also, it will allow Republicans to strengthen themselves with President Hillary Clinton as a popular target — setting themselves up for a potential win in 2020.
As for Donald Trump, he will probably be the giddiest of all at not winning the White House. He won’t have to leave Trump Tower for the confines of an old, damp, and small (to his standards) presidential mansion. He can continue to fly around the world while saying and doing whatever he wants, without having to answer to anybody. Perhaps most exciting of all, he can also blame the Republican Party for ditching him at the 11th hour and causing him to lose, thereby giving him an effective launching pad (along with his Breitbart campaign manager) for a Trump TV Network. Then, all of the ignoramuses of the world who actually believed a wall could be built to keep Mexicans out, and a law could be made to keep Muslims out, would have a 24-hour network to listen to “The Donald” and all of his bizarre ideology for years to come.
It’s a win-win!
OK WASSUP! discusses politics, including
all electoral maps predict a Clinton win.
Hahaha! You sound like a total idiot.
If accurate, the polling data is great news for everyone involved. After 8 years of the Barack Obama presidency, Democrats will be delighted to rule the White House for at least another 4 years. […]
You're darn skippy DJ, if current polling data is accurate…AND is confirmed as such on election day.
DJ:
The GOP will jump for joy at a Trump defeat, since it will prevent a madman from hijacking their party as the defacto leader. […]
The GOPe shouldn't fool themselves. Trump may lose the election but the destructive forces he's unleashed within that party will no doubt continue to be very problematic for the GOP…..if not the nation….for at least the foreseeable future.
And let me be clear. Trump didn't plant the seeds of ignorance, division, hatred towards *Others,* and lunacy within the GOP. Those seeds were planted by the GOPe and their right-wing media cohorts at least 25-30 yrs ago – and nurtured by the same since that time. Trump simply came along and exploited all of that crap x10 and his supporters (the GOP base) love it. The GOP will still have to deal with those people.
DJ:
As for Donald Trump, he will probably be the giddiest of all at not winning the White House. […]
For all the reasons you spelled out in your last paragraph (especially Trump TV Network), I couldn't agree with you more.
For Trump "It’s a win-win!"
….like I said, the GOP will still have to deal with Trump's supporters even if he loses. And good luck with that.
HuffPost: Trump Supporter Tells Mike Pence She’s ‘Ready For A Revolution’ If Hillary Clinton Wins
At a rally in Iowa on Tuesday, a Trump supporter said she’s “ready for a revolution” if Hillary Clinton wins the election.
Speaking to Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, the unnamed supporter said she was “scared” of voter fraud, which has become one of Trump’s talking points as his poll numbers have plunged. When the woman mentioned voter fraud, the audience cheered and clapped.
“There’s a lot of us that are out here saying that we go to vote, we're gonna wear red," she said, adding:
“Our lives depend on this election. Our kids’ futures depends on this election. I will tell you, just for me ― and I don’t want this to happen ― but I will tell you for me personally, if Hillary Clinton gets in, I myself, I’m ready for a revolution, because we can’t have her in.”
Pence quickly tried to cut her off.
“Don’t say that,” he said.
“I’m just saying it,” the woman continued. “I’m like Trump.”
Pence shook his head and cut her off again.
“There’s a revolution coming on November the 8th, I promise you,” he said. […]
Thanks for posting this DJ. And thanks for making sure to put that disclaimer that it is just polls and we still have to vote. Yes I do believe these polls are right and Trump is going to lose, since things are so bad with him right now. But like Truth said his people are already saying it's rigged just so he can save face. So these supporter are not going away. Just like they were convinced Obama was not born in America no matter how much proof, they are always going to believe Trump was robbed when he doesn't win.
…..looks like the wheels really are coming off the Trump wagon…..
"Major GOP Donors Are Asking Trump for Their Money Back"
Excerpt:
Two big-money donors who have given or raised tens of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump are livid at the Republican presidential nominee and are asking for their money back, according to a bundler who raised money for Trump.
"I cannot express my disappointment enough regarding the recent events surrounding Mr. Trump," one donor wrote to a Trump fundraiser in an email with the subject line "Trump support withdrawal."
"I regret coming to the Trump support event, and in particular allowing my son to be a part of it," the donor, who had given to and raised money for Trump, said. "I respectfully request that my money be refunded."
Senior Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the campaign is "unaware of any donors making such a request."
The donor has buyer's remorse after the release of a vulgar videotape last Friday that reveals Trump describing unwanted sexual advances on women.
A second donor also requested his money be returned because he is "mortified" over the leaked videotape, according to another email obtained by NBC News.
"I can not (sic) support a sexist man. I have three young children and will not support a crude sexist man," the second donor wrote. "I expect a refund of my donation. Please process immediately and I thank you for your help."
The long-time Republican bundler, who has raised money in Florida, Ohio, Los Angeles and in the Northeast, said that he is ashamed of his solicitations of cash for Trump, adding that he raised money for him as recently as last week.
"I'm embarrassed. I'm really embarrassed" he said. "I shook hands with him last week and now I want to wash my hand."
The bundler said that the videotape pushed him over the top, but his dissatisfaction had been building. He pointed to other insults to women, including attacks on Fox News host Megyn Kelly and smears of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. He also noted Trump's attacks on federal judge Gonzalo Curiel based on his Mexican-American heritage was disconcerting.
"We have to make America great, but he's using the wrong slogan," he said. "It should be, 'You're destroying America,'" he said.
The fundraiser said he will now focus his fundraising efforts on electing Republicans to the House and the Senate. […]

Poll Finds Clinton, Trump Tied in Utah; Clinton up by 6 points in Georgia
Thanks Wil.
Unlike most "Bible-belt" White evangelicals who have no problem supporting Trump (which tells you all you need to know about those phony hypocrites), most Mormons want nothing to do with him and they ain't voting for him.
IF those polls in Utah and Georgia are even close to being accurate…and the trend continues….election night is going to be an utter Nightmare for the GOP.
