...I do tend to think Hillary will win from:
Many old-guarder Boomers , WHO DO VOTE , and many - even males - want a woman Prexy .
And , let's look at identity politics here , and note that JFK doubtless got the majority Catholic vote , Obama the likewise black vote and Romney the Mormon majority ~ And , (tho' " wimmin " is both more vague and , as all-encompassing , can therefore varyy more) ~ I think ~ especially against The Donald ~ a lot of Republican women , in the booth , might start to think ~ " Hmmm . First woman President " (Hillary's basically a moderate Republican , as even I?? have said here before?? , in general anyway) .

I'm not sure that matters much because the ones who go to their rallies are their core supporters (and reporters). The rest of those who are there to vote anti-Clinton or anti-Trump probably put going to their rallies at the bottom of their things to do.

I think that Clinton will probably win and Trump will be his usual crybaby about how unfair he is being treated.

Both Clinton and Trump are prime examples of the saying "Money doesn't buy class".

Quite a few Republicans refuse to vote for Trump. A number of top level people from previous Republican administrations who have extensive experience in issues of national security and diplomacy have reportedly endorsed Clinton.

I personally know someone Republicans who are to vote in the Presidential election and others who intend to vote for Gary Johnson.

We call Trump by his last name with Hillary it is the informal first name. That should tell you something.


While Bill Clinton was President, she was usually called Hillary instead of Clinton in order to make it clear who we were talking about. We still often call her Hillary today.

Hillary is the corporate elite's candidate -- she will win. I think Trump is far more dangerous, but I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils if I don't respect the candidate.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote in favor of evil.

For what it's worth, this election I think we have two greater of two evils.

I pretty much agree. except I think Trump presidency could have more dire consequences. But I will say that we've never been presented with two greater evils in my lifetime.

I give Trump the best odds, 50+%. The polls show him around the same level of support as Hillary, but if they're anything like British polls they will have a left wing bias, and will not accurately be reflecting the levels of support for the candidates, so I feel confident giving him a 5 point swing.

Though, of course, it also depends on where his support is. He could lose the electoral vote even if he wins the popular vote.

Considering how Trump supporters risk being harassed with screams of racism and sexism etc. I would not be surprised especially considering there's little enthusiasm for Clinton with regard to rally size.
