Obviously, Trump cannot win a debate against Hillary. He has neither the knowledge nor experience. But here is what will happen: Hillary will win the debate but Trump—surprise, surprise—will continue his uptick in the polls. Not by much, but it will be there. There will also be a growth in the

The problem is that people who are planning to vote for Trump do not read articles such as these. The New York Times and the Washington Post have done an excellent job in exposing Trump for who he is—their columnists have produced hundreds of articles denouncing him, day after day, week after

This is the way I see it: say two runners are competing in a one-mile race. For the first three laps, one of them is clearly ahead. But then on the last lap, the other runner starts to catch up. With just half a lap to go, he pulls level. I would say that then he is "on course" to win, because

I don't find this "they're all liars" argument convincing. It completely lets Trump off the hook. He is a new kind of liar. Even when it is proved that he lied, he just keeps on repeating whatever lie he has been caught in. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

I'm not sure there is much point in straightening Mike out on the facts of the matter, since he seems to be so deeply enmeshed in the Crooked and Lying Hillary meme that nothing anyone says is going to make any difference. It is so strange that Hillary is the one who is painted as a liar when

I think it will more likely be the other way round. Why would a "moderate" Trump voter suddenly switch to Clinton in the voting booth? It seems far more likely that the Trump vote is being undercounted in polls because people don't want to say out loud they support him, but when they are in

More than a little overoptimistic, I'm thinking. Trump has consistently reached at least 40% since late August and I don't think Hillary has ever topped 54%. It will be very close. Were I to place a bet right now, I would put my money on Trump, although I hate to say it. Hillary has a chance in

You are of course right about all this, but I am still nervous. I fear that image counts for so much, and that the electorate may prefer a 6-foot-2 man over a small woman with perceived health problems. Hillary's gender is not in her favor. Of course she knows more, is better prepared and far

It looks like I am being proved right (see my post below, from a few days ago). Trump is gaining on all fronts (see the latest polls), and I think it is likely he will win. He has the momentum now, and Hillary is going to have to struggle to get it back. She is not a good candidate and I wish
