Trump has had a lead in the national polls twice and been tied twice (according to real clear politics poll average) in 16 months. He has about a 15% chance of winning and I think that's being generous. Going against the most unpopular democratic candidate in recent history, he is set to lose by 7 percentage points and be no where close in terms of electoral college votes. Literally any of the other choices would have done better and most would have probably won. The media narrative with a quieter, more cautious candidate would have been mostly about Clinton's near indictment and the Wikileaks releases rather than sexual assault allegations and "twitter meltdowns". By all accounts, the selection of Donald Trump has given the democrats the white house, a great chance at the Senate, and a puncher's chance at the House. It's given Hillary the chance to solidify a liberal SC. He has essentially given up trying to win, is only going to bask in the praise of his fan base for the next 3 weeks, and is doing his best to take the reputation of the party down with him. Are any of you who supported him brave and honest enough to admit that maybe that was a bad idea?
Before you say it, I didn't support Hillary.
