    The same one that nailed every state in the 2012 election. That one.

    Really? I had no idea, missed it by 6 years. I thought I had the Gen X Gen Y stuff figured out but I guess not.

    I will now refer to myself as a pre-millenial.

    When did 538 give trump a 2% chance to win the primary? Wasn't that back in august last year? How long was that before he actually secured the nomination? Almost a year correct?

    And how many days before the presidential election? I know you trump supporters have still more than a month to rally.

    Ok.

    Well he's up in early voting in North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Arizona, and Florida.

    It's going to be close.

    Media bias by inflating poll numbers? What does this mean? The polls, done by pollster, may be bias, but what does that have to do with "media bias"?

    Media fails to discredit these polls when they are in a split state and are favored toward the democrat +11

    It's basically a lie.

    A good number for Trump is that Independents(undecided) right now are leaning Trump per polling.

    That's momentum.

    423 pages for this failure.

    He's using the whole "this is unfair" because he knows he's not qualified.

    I'm hoping all you sad Trump supporters apologize when Hillary (who isn't my favorite) wins. Anyone but a man destined to destroy any progress we've made or to grab women by their genitals...or discuss underage girls with Howard.

    Deeply disturbing for a candidate.

    I, for one, bow down to our soon to be Trump overlord.

    I don't get what your point is here. My response was to your comment that Sanders was in range of the popular vote. The actual numbers of votes show he wasn't. If anything the Democratic system of proportional delegates kept him closer in delegates than the actual votes.

    Above you appear to be agreeing with me. What is your argument? That Clinton numbers are inflated and the race is actually closer? That is a valid argument but if you're saying that Clinton is weak because of Sanders then did well in the Democratic primary isn't a good argument because it wasn't actually close. To say that Sanders success was predicated on millenials who don't vote as much and are now inflating Clinton's numbers is contradicted that most of Clinton's support wasn't from millenials in the Dem primaries and she still won convincingly.
    True there is a chance Trump could still win. There's also a chance that the Texans run the table and are 2016-2017 NFL Champions. Based on history I'm not sure which is more likely.

    Again, I'm curious where you are getting your data.

    According to the Associated Press this morning regarding early voting results Clinton is displaying strength in the crucial battleground states North Carolina, Florida and may also be building an early vote advantage in Arizona and Colorado.

    Trump meanwhile appears to be holding ground in Ohio, Iowa and Georgia.
