Not calling you dumb, Bob. I'm just trying to say there's a lot of very well educated women not willing to vote for Hillary and they are not worried about what Trump said about women because they've heard it all from men and women alike and know people have always and will always make wise cracks about the opposite sex. They aren't worried about that crap

A contractor hired to come out from NY to change out power meters for 12.50hr stopped by a few weeks ago and tried to get me to swap my 14 year old dial out for a new digital one. He brought up politics and came right out and ask me who I supported. I told him none but was voting Trump as the best option IMO. He damn near flipped, he actually said he felt like he was in the center of ignorance and I then told him to stick his fancy meter back in the truck and be gone. He did just that. He wasn't in NY anymore and to drive way the hell down here for a job paying 12.50hr he wasn't much smarter (if any) than me. I seen that only three people in seven miles on our road let him change their meter out. In the future, maybe he'll do better by not insulting folks

Even Rupert Murdoch's Wall St. Urinal doesn't think that Trump has a chance.

'Trump's Path to Victory Is Narrow'
"PHILADELPHIA—After months of campaigning, the presidential race has come down to this: Democrat Hillary Clinton has several apparent paths to the White House, while Republican Donald Trump must all-but sweep the battlegrounds where the race has centered, and will likely need at least one Democratic-leaning state, too.
For Mrs. Clinton, victory would require her winning one or two of the most contested states, if she can hold on to those that have long favored Democratic nominees. Mr. Trump has said he has a shot at those Democratic-leaning states, which include Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New Mexico. Yet polls in each show Mrs. Clinton ahead.
Nationally, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Sunday found Mrs. Clinton leading Mr. Trump by 4 points among likely voters as the two nominees head into their final day of campaigning before Tuesday’s election.
For Mr. Trump to win, he must finish ahead of Mrs. Clinton in the battleground states of Florida, Ohio and, in most calculations, North Carolina, analysts from both parties said. His path to victory, far narrower than Mrs. Clinton’s, also likely requires a win in at least one state that has long been in the Democratic column.
“He has to run the table,” said Russ Schriefer, a strategist for Republican Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign.
Mr. Trump’s chances are dim unless he can wrest away a state such as Michigan or Pennsylvania, where he campaigned****Sunday, places that haven’t voted Republican in presidential races since 1988. Looking to shore up Mrs. Clinton’s base, her campaign added stops in both states Monday and began TV ads in Michigan, where polls have shown the race tightening.
Mr. Trump on Sunday followed a campaign schedule that outlined a possible path to victory—cutting through Midwestern and mid-Atlantic states, regions rich in the working-class, white voters who help form his base of support. He campaigned in Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania, each of which has a largely white voter pool that could boost his chances." WSJ

I know an outsider has his work cut out and his chances of winning aren't ever to just be handed to him. But Reagan was laughed at to until he walked into the White House. Hillary may very well be placed into it, but if so I do believe there's going to be more pissed off people than when Obama went in. Right now it isn't Democrat vs Republican, it's people vs government. People on both sides of the fence are fed up with many issues

Is that a fact?
