Because a whole lot of people believe Hillary will be just as, if not more disastrous.

It's clear that using a monkey you are intimating Obie coming to the rescue of Hillary to save us from the orange man.
Now that you have shown your horrible nature I demand to know how you defend you position that all blacks are inferior.

Folks, this thread is about how the election tips based on the individual states and their electoral votes. Please post the fluff in other threads, no matter how hairy.

The long and short of it is analysts are saying he needs to sweep the critical trifecta of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, with their large cache of electoral votes, a conservative swing population, and a receptive bloc of angry white voters. Michigan is a step behind, but these three are critical for him.

While Trump is doing this, Hillary is hitting the road in her big blue bus and fighting in Nebraska which hasn't seen a Democratic presidential candidate on the ground since Roosevelt in '36.

Another potential wild-card in this election may be the appeal of 3rd party candidates to those who can't stomach either Trump or Clinton:

Since the Libertarians pull from Republicans, I'm good with it.
