    All she needs to do is run out the clock and not commit any turnovers.

    The only way Hillary can lose this is by forfeiting the game

    Can someone with better knowledge make a list of the magazines (Foreign Policy, The Atlantic etc.) and newspapers that are conservative or rarely endorse candidates. Also Republicans that have not endorsed Trump (Bush's, Glen Beck, etc.)

    I'm curious of others I don't know about.

    You probably can add up that from wikip below. Look at 2012 endorsement and read the note section to get significant.

    A quick summary.
    2016 - Clinton has 91 endorsements, Johnson has 6. Trump has 0.

    Of the 91 endorsements Clinton received, 17 of them endorsed Romney in 2012 and 38 did not endorse anyone, leaving 36 endorsement for Obama.

    Elite media or whatever, when it's a 91-0, it should raise red flags in those people that still think these two candidates are "the same".

    The world may be coming to an end. Glen Beck has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

    538 now gives the Democrats a 55% chance of getting control of the Senate. That'll make the road a bit easier for President Clinton.

    If they manage it, look for Hillary and a Democratic Senate to nominate and confirm 3 Supreme Court justices in her first term. How I hope that happens.

    That would be great. It's the price the GOP voters paid for picking a complete moron.

    That is exactly what we need! A completely biased government that ignores 40% of the people.

    As opposed to the possibility of a GOP President and Congress choosing Supreme Court justices, which would be your preference? Suggestion, run candidates with platforms that reflect the wishes of the majority of Americans, not just the conservative wing of the GOP.

    incorrect. we need a balance in our government. Regardless of which side you blindly follow, we should never have one party completely dominate.

    Remember when he created all these czars, and Conservatives were howling at the Russian imperial injustice?

    Yea, that was two years ago.

    While I agree in concept with the value of "checks and balances" I think (1) if it there would be the possibility of the GOP controlling all three branches, you, the GOP, and the conservative talking heads (Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, et al) would be celebrating and (2) in the current state of politics (an overly obstructive Congress) the concept of (and value of) such checks and balances (eg the refusal to even consider an eminently qualified US Supreme Court Justice, causing an unprecedented length of time with only 8 justices) as been abused to the people's detriment.

    That said, I don't realistically expect a Democratic Congress (despite the damage the GOP candidate for President has caused) and even if it dies, I don't expect enough agreement among Democratic congressmen and senators to really change the process noticeably. And there will be another election for Congress in two years if it does.

    So then you're all for some Democrats winning statewide races in Texas for the first time since the 90's?
