Why do Trump supporters think he's going to win

[Thumpalumpacus]

I don't underestimate him, but he's already profoundly alienated females and minorities. He's working on independents, too.

He's making every mistake in the book, and writing in a few new ones.

And the various intelligence agencies won't lay charges until the election is done.

I wonder how much the "shy Trump voter" phenomenon is affecting the polls? In the UK there is the well documented "shy Tory" which polyesters have to account for. It's conceivable that there are some people who are too ashamed to admit they the support Trump.

FiveThirtyEight, perhaps the leading resource on election statistics in the US, analyzed this theory, concluding that it didn't effect the primaries.

Of course, the general election is a different beast, but if a given republican voter wasn't ashamed to vote Trump when the alternative was Cruz, why would that voter be ashamed to vote Trump when the alternative's Clinton

If they did, wouldn't that be grounds for impeachment, if Hillary wins?

As if he trump wouldn't be assassinated the moment he took office. It doesn't matter if he wins or not because he wont  survive. Too many people want him dead. I'm surprised he is still alive to be honest.

If he took office, you wouldn't get anywhere near him to assassinate him. And he's a billionaire, even if he doesn't get the presidency, he can easily afford a security team. Also pretty sure he carries a gun.

Most likely, yes.

Carrying and being able to use it are two different pair of shoes. I always wonder why people think they are safer when carrying. If you haven't got the training, your body develops a life of it's own when being shot at and your mind blurs. I had the dubious pleasure some 20 years ago. When working as a medic and a domestic went downhill.

Yes. But it will avoid the appearance of tampering with an election.

Well yeah, you're stating the obvious there. He apparently has experience when it comes to firearms. But with the SS detail protecting him for now and his private security, the likelihood of a situation arising that would require him to use his sidearm is extremely low.

Point is he's safe.

Yes, she's not going to drop a nuke on anyone because someone insulted her hair. With Trump, I'm not so sure.

Exactly. For all her flaws, she doesn't act on spite quite like Trump does.

Hillary and Bill are racist bigots.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...lover.html

Lolz... Seriously? She made these claims in a book published by WND Books. At the very very very least - and I'm being generous here - you should've said "Hillary and Bill are racist bigots, claims former spurned lover in new book." If nothing else, we should be clear that 1) it is this woman's word against the Clintons', 2) she has a monetary interest in saying sensational things, and 3) she couldn't find a halfway-legitimate avenue through which to publish. That doesn't mean she's lying, but... it certainly does not bolster her veracity.
