I agree with that (none / 0) (#43)

I've been saying that for months.  It's why I was saying Trump would win the nomination back when people were making fun of me for saying it.

I also said I believed he could win the general election.   I still think so.  IMO anyone who thinks this is in the bag for Hillary is dangerously delusional.  There is something in the air.   Or maybe the water.

Agreed. (5.00 / 1) (#72)

Not in the bag.  And, the Clinton campaign seems to have underestimated what Bernie wrought. They, apparently, felt that if they dealt with Bernie, the old pro politician, as they did, the rest would follow.  

Still hope that will be the case after some Bernie venting.  But, this was the reason that I felt that the Clinton campaign needed to be more attentive, and not say we don't need you guys, we have Trump.

  The vice presidential selection was made on the basis of what Mrs. Clinton wanted, and it is probably the right call in so many ways.  But, it did seem to be an affront to some Bernie types.  I am optimistic that by Thursday, things will be worked out, in largest measure.

 But, this is the stuff on which the media feeds, and what is worked out in the Democratic Party will not necessarily be reported as such.  Rather, here comes false equivalence to a screen near you.

Actually has Trump up, 58% chance of winning the electoral college.

And CNN poll has Trump up also.
He received a big convention bounce.

Madame Sec will need a bounce from this convention
