Nevertheless, he makes a valid point. Trump has shredded every prediction made by all the "serious people" in Washington but one, the prediction made in the linked article. I have no reason to believe he won't shred that one too.

All I would have to do is search back a few months and I could find hundreds, literally hundreds, of expert opinion pieces like the following three.

Did any of you guys click on the links in that article?

Current polls are showing 70% of women can't stand Trump and 80 to 90% of Latinos and AAs won't vote for this dude.

Trump is toast.

Those polls will be cold comfort during eight years of a Trump Administration.

It's going to depend on the swing states and how the independents vote there, or if they bother to vote at all. I don't see very many independents in awe of Hillary now. Would Trump scare some of them into voting for Hillary, better hope so.

Trump will be the new Ross Perot without the charisma and verve.

I think people may be shocked at how many Dem's cross over to vote for him.

No republican is crossing over for a Clinton. Not in 2016. Not gonna happen.

and that women's vote.... it's not their among the sub 50 year olds.

Yep, that is what the polls currently show.

As to him being left in the tanner too long.... a little early to pull the plug...

My guess is that he will simply turn down the setting and get a great tan.
