I have a hard time believing Trump is going to win. I just can't see him being president.
The reason Trump got the nomination is because the GOP has largely ignored their base, which is the majority of their voting block. For years they have been pandering to them with social issues and values while doing nothing, but have done everything for the wealthy donors and economic elite. The elites paid for the system, but there is not enough of them democratically cast the votes to keep the system in place. The middle class is getting fed up with the establishment. Things are going to shift eventually, but I don't see Trump being the leader of that change. I hope this election will be the last that involves establishment goons.
