End of the line for Trump?

What's Brexit and Columbia (people simply voted no to letting murderers run free... Americans would need to vote yes to a (possible) rapist, on the other hand)... got to do with anything... first, referenda only have two options, there are at least four presidential candidates, not to mention the election of congress and their own referenda underneath...

What's strange is how some (automated?) polls seem unable to call cellphones, as opposed to landlines... but I think some do, anyway.

Really, this Brexit connection is only a remnant of Drumpf's festering delusions... and apparently he sees connections in absolutely everything while listening to Alex Jones.

I won't believe this monster's not 10 feet tall until I see him shrunk back down to size. IOW the democrats are being infuriatingly over-optimistic.

A potential problem might be that poller are oversampling certain groups, in order to get more favourable (for them) results.

Well, four years ago they thought they were oversampled so much Romney had even set up a transition team, only to be frustrated by reality.

Actually there is at least one leaked email that seems to state a concious policy to oversample.

People like to use 'conspiracy theorist' as a pejorative but hard to blame them for being paranoid when they keep being right again and again.

Most polls have well-documented house biases, including in Trump's favour, but we can account for them.

The thing that is keeping Trump's hopes alive is the large number of undecided and third-party voters at this stage in the election, but we don't know whether those people will vote for Trump or Clinton or third party or not at all. The latest set of polls from Ohio are good for him. Arizona's still a contest and Iowa is underpolled. North Carolina, Florida and Nevada are all in play although most polls are showing Clinton winning those consistently. But winning any other swing states will be very unlikely for Trump unless all the undecideds and third parties decide to back him.

He's also running out of opportunities to screw it up. It's unlikely he'll manage to do anything as bad and high profile as during the debates again.

There's no need to panic. There's still a better chance of Clinton winning Georgia than Trump winning the election. But we should be realistic and admit that there's still a chance things could go badly wrong for America.

I think this is partially some residual old 60's idealism. A lot of it is the assumption because things have always been a certain way it will always be that way we all fall prey to at times.

this tv show [below] from the 90s seems to have predicted the state of today's GOP-

This TV show ends with the characters accidentally triggering the ice age effectively creating a doom of their own making... we know who believes absolutely every conspiracy theory in existence but somehow not climate change.

when he gets in office, we're all screwed, even though some of us don't know it yet.

We have had our second "October Surprise". First the was the Obamacare news and now thr FBI has reopened the email probe. Since most people think she is corrupt anyway this probably will not change the result but it makes impeachment more likely if she wins.

And burning at the stake more likely if she loses.

Just a quick question, America.

Do you guys think the elections will be rigged?

I wouldn't be surprised if those wacky machines herpderped while counting the votes again.

Being impartial I see a 0-0 tie for the moment, but pretty much anything can happen within the next two weeks.

I'm Canadian, but I don't think your elections are rigged. Mostly because they are state run not national, and the conservative states would have no motivation to rig toward Hillary. I don't think it is appropriate for the Trump supporters to identify themselves with t-shirts, voting is supposed to be anonymous.

well, we'll find out in less than two weeks.
