Donald Trump is done.

With regard for his prospects for winning the presidency … it won’t happen

This is not a presidential candidate. This is a presidential troll.



People should vote.

The margins are important. The bigger the margin nationally—for a Democratic Party victory and with Hillary Clinton—the better chances of flipping the U.S. House.

(The U.S. Senate will definitely flip—with R-to-D pickups likely from Illinois, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and the majority of the following: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Wisconsin—those states in which the same party may carry at both the presidential/senatorial levels.)

Everybody’s vote is part of the U.S. Popular Vote. People should dismiss the notion of Well, red state/blue state—I figure my vote doesn’t mathematically matter nonsense. Yes—your vote does count. It is a part of the overall popular vote nationwide which is cast for president of the United States. And it is never wise to not appreciate—or, worse, not recognize—that fact.

Come on people, you must have had some education to figure out that no amount of politics will help our country with a boob leering lying false prophet for a commander in chief.

Clinton is NOT taking away anyone's guns. Sides' enough gun owners manage to do that in the US daily by breaking the laws or shooting themselves.

Stop all this nonsense. This is about a presidency, not somebody's version of a hootenanny in a holler.
