If you read many of our Right wing brethren blogs you have seen that they are determined to keep the faith that trump will win this election….hands down.
I like optimism but I feel they may be beating a dead horse….but keeping with my tradition of trying to give both sides of this argument I found a couple of asrticles that plays into their hopes….
First is an article from of all places the Middle East….go figure….
The presidential election is still far off, at least as time is measured in politics, and both candidates will have plenty of chances to fall victim to their own shortcomings.
RealClearPolitics’ latest average of national polls shows Democrat Hillary Clinton leading Republican Donald Trump 47.2% to 41.2% in the US presidential race.
It is actually remarkable that Trump is only down by a handful of points considering his lack of self-control and unexplained diarrhea of the mouth. This is the same guy who spent his first press conference as the Republican nominee talking about former rival Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

The second article appeared in Sputnik, a Russian site that is biased toward the Russian point of view…….but they did have something to say about the Trump candidacy….
Hillary Clinton, Queen of Chaos, Queen of War, Golden Goldman Girl, for all practical purposes is by now the official bipartisan candidate of US neocons and neoliberalcons alike.
Certified add-ons include Wall Street; selected hedge funds; TPP cheerleaders; CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) interventionists; media barons; multinational corporate hustlers; in fact virtually the whole exceptionalist US establishment, duly underwritten by the bipartisan, mega-wealthy 0.0001%.
That does leave Donald J. Trump in the astonishing position of egomaniac billionaire outsider who somehow dreams he can game the whole system on his own, moved by his inexhaustible chutzpah.

I also found a piece in the New republic about the Trump candidacy…….before you dismiss the source please read the article……
Rapidly sinking in the polls and careening from blunder to blunder, Donald Trump has ordered the second major shake-up of his staff in three months. Paul Manafort, who was named campaign chairman in the previous shake-up, has failed in his attempts to domesticate Trump and help him pivot to a centrist message, and the Republican nominee has now brought in Steve Bannon, chairman of the conservative website Breitbart. By all reports, Bannon wants to “let Trump be Trump”—to rile up the right-wing base with incendiary rhetoric and launch vicious attacks on Hillary Clinton.
The consensus view among political observers—including, and perhaps especially, on the right—is that Trump’s dumpster-fire campaign has become a wildfire. “Trump Has Decided To Live in Breitbart’s Alternative Reality,” announced the conservative Weekly Standard. On CNN, former Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro called Trump a “turd tornado.” And Noah Rothman notes in Commentary, the flagship journal of neo-conservatism, “By bringing on Breitbart’s head, any illusion of distance between the Trump campaign and its most unwaveringly supportive blog is now gone. The Trump campaign will be said, rightly, to have embraced the voice of the racially transgressive ‘alt-right’ and self-identified ‘white nationalists.’”

Okay I admit it….the New republic article is not at all flattering….but it is something to consider if one plans to vote for the man this November….
Just a few of the sources that seem to be on the Trump bandwagon for whatever reason……this should help those die hard fans that refuse to believe that Trump is in serious trouble with the voters……
To my Right wing brethren…..you are welcome.
Hillary is such an unliked candidate I believe anything is still possible, given the amount of time remaining until the election. If the Dems had nominated anybody else, this would be a done deal. But with her as their nominee, it will be an open possibility until the votes are cast.
Nice to see you again….I agree this election could still go either way…there are a couple scenarios where Hill could be beat….
In 1964 we thought our beloved Barry Goldwater would win. I mean, who in their right mind would vote for Johnson ?
Good example…..thanx
