This link has many scandals in which Trump is alleged to be involved in - some 
of which were unknown to me as well. Some may be outright true and other's may 
be debatable.

But the fact of the matter is that both candidates are NOT exactly 'Gods' and 
such links will not change the mind of a voter who has already made up his/her 
mind in the 44+ states and territories - the ones that are outside the realm of 
"Battle Ground" states.

American politics is mostly a duopoly - where the vast majority of Americans 
normally side with the party they are deeply entrenched with. Which means, for 
the most part, the states that normally side with their party base will not 
change the outcome of the elections. 

For example, both Trump as well as Hillary live in New York. Therefore, one 
might think that NY is a battle ground state. But that is hardly the case. I 
live in New York as well - in fact I live less than 15 miles from Hillary's 
house. Given the history on how NY votes, there is near zero chance that Trump 
will win New York state. Which means, my vote for Trump will not count. 

American elections are mostly decided by a handful of what are known as "Battle 
Ground" states. Any candidate who wins the majority of these five or six states 
is the likely winner of the White House.

I believe the upcoming debates will help voters in battle ground states decide 
who they will cast their votes to. Regardless of what the pollsters say - Relax 
and hold your breath - It's not a slam dunk for Hillary just yet.

side won)
