I get that but his behaviour is bordering on either the insane or what you'd expect in some third world country with somebody preparing to mount a coup

He's like a spoilt brat blaming everyone from the media, his own party, the women accusing him etc but not taking responsibility for his own actions.

It's ok folks don't you worry about thinking for yourselves, CNN and the other media networks are here to tell you what your opinions should be. Stay complacent out there!

Thank you for correcting the record.

Bit skeptical will actually end up as a Clinton win but if it does that is amazing, even Obama didn't win it in 2008.

And iirc Alaska has voted for a democrat only once in its existence as a state...

Georgia is becoming more competitive for national elections given the demographic changes especially within the Atlanta suburbs. Given Trump's poor outlook/polling in the suburbs, Clinton has a real chance to win in Ga and Az. NB: I have had some money in both markets for a while...it seems increasingly likely that she will win at least one, possibly both

Ohio, and even more so Iowa, have often looked a bit dodgy for Clinton and the early ballot returns seem to be bearing that out - the midwest in general is her weakest area.

At this point it weirdly looks like Clinton is more likely to win N Carolina than Ohio.

The Clinton campaign is sending an extra $2m to Arizona plus Michelle Obama, Sanders and Cheslea Clinton are to stump there this week - that is quite an allocation so presume their internal polls show some encouraging figures.

Yes. I think that's right. Trump campaign has already conceded Virginia. It looks like the only state along the east coast that he will comfortably win is South Carolina. NC and FL go to Clinton imo.
He may end up winning NH and Ohio but I can't see how he gets to 270. I think she wins by at least 120 electoral votes

Yup.
Also, there is a sizable Mormon population in Arizona. It will be interesting to see what role McMullin has. He's already polling over 20% in Utah and has a decent chance at winning the state. May play the spoiler here and in Nevada

Aye NH, and PA for that matter, had the potential to be attracted to Trumo based on quite high numbers of white voters without college degrees that seem to be his key demographic but little sign of it so far in their respective state polls.

He has almost no chance in Pennsylvania. Philly suburbs will not be kind

I imagine if Wikileaks still had access to the Clinton emails you'd see a lot of debating about whether to nudge dem Utah voters to switch to McMullin...
