Donald Trump has been officially declared a loser.

As everyone who follows polls already knows, Rasmussen is right-leaning and can't predict an election, at least a recent one:

And, so, when Rasmussen shows Trump being down, he is basically screwed, unless Hillary dies of a heart attack or Bill gets caught with his pants off (not down), or both.

It's August, tho.
And... 'Murrica.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Of course, it's the electoral college that matters and not the popular vote:

The Donald is even looking worse in that regard.
By the way, this thread is intended only to be about polling (if it lasts) for Trump's odds and not Trump, in particular. At this point I don't think that he has a "snowball's chance", and would rate his chances as being in the single digits.

If Mrs. Clinton died of a heart attack and Bill Clinton got caught again, Mrs. Clinton would still beat Trump in the election.
Funny how Grump bragged endlessly about the polls before he started pissing all over himself this week.

Good point. But, Trump has had some success in business, and so, he must understand marketing and market research; as such, he has to at least appreciate the results of polling, which is just a broad survey of a random section of the population. Plus, the Republicans (Democrats, too) also conduct their own private polling, which helps direct the candidates to the issues and where to campaign so as to have the best chance of winning the Electoral College vote, which, of course, is the real vote, and not the one that occurs in November.
Surely, Trump knows this, even though his speaking/writing has been measured to be at the 4th grade level, unlike most candidates (and, newspapers) which write at the 8th grade level.

Would that that were so. As is I would sleep easy until after the election.

This is bad news for Trump.
Basically, this is the same as the Democrats for Nixon movement in 1972 but in reverse. A significant number of Republicans (including former cabinet members) are coming out in support of Hillary Clinton. Not all Republicans are insane and immoral. Some of them recognize what Trump is, swallow their personal wishes and do what any sane patriot would do - support Hillary.
I salute them. Their heart is in the right place even if their head isn't.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

And, Trump's ego is so big, that he is virtually certain not to drop out. Question is, will he go-off the deep end and try some sort of coup?

He doesn't command the loyalties of those organs which would be needed to carry one out successfully.

Well now he is insulting the Japanese. Apparently, he doesn't want us to have any allies at all.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/...atch-sony/
Quote:Donald Trump has attacked Japan, one of America's closest allies, stating that if the US is attacked, all Japan would do is "sit home and watch Sony television".
He expressed his frustration that the US is bound by treaty to defend the Asian nation but that if the United States is attacked, the Japanese cannot help because of Article 9, which constitutionally forbids it to send armed forces overseas.
He said that it "could be necessary" for the US to walk away from the treaty - or at least threaten to do so.
Of course, Japan with the blessing of the US reinterpreted Art. 9 to allow flexibility for their Self-Defense Forces so, as usual, Drumpf doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.
