6. I honestly hope so, and, if we were living in a rational world, it would be the case.

But we live in a world where all references are lost (most papers have endorsed Hillary Clinton, and still polls are so close).

However, the bar is so low when it comes to Trump that, short of a huge problem, people will declare him presidential (remember, reading a speech on a teleprompter is now what passes for presidential).

So, I am sort of worried.

Trump is very convincing. He uses the right platitudes and empty statements to get people on his side.

Like it or not, all of the cards are there for a Trump presidency. Any Democrat who thinks there isn't a good chance that Trump will win is either delusional or not paying attention.

The Democratic Party has been abysmal countering Trump. They're in a delusional fantasy world that Trump still has no chance, and Hillary is a easy win. The have to throw everything that have at him or lose.
