I agree Hillary seems to have the support staff to keep things moving and not piss people/nations off too much. But personally I just can't stand the air she projects. In a more simpler time she would be have to be answering more for her flippant national security ways. I do agree Trump comes off as abrasive and less tactful which disturbs many of the sleeping majority but his message resonates with the aging population who once believed the US had no equal in industry, finance and innovated thinking. Now we sit here with industry fleeing to the south and east or just going bankrupt. Financially we are a wreck as Yellen can't raise interest rates as this would be servicing more interest on the debt. Business as usual is over as a fresh perspective is needed but I don't feel either nominee fits the bill either. You have to like Bernie with his hairdo but he would have put us in a deeper hole than we would already be in. Such is life. Reminds me a lot of the Edward Heath, Harold Wilson days the lesser of two evils.

Hillary will pretty much be a status quo president. Her policies will pretty much be Obama's and maybe slightly a bit more to the right. Obama won the nomination 8 years ago because he ran somewhat to the left of Hillary in the primaries and then took all of her policies, so pretty much no change. Hillary's problem is that she can't get away with governing like a pro-choice George HW Bush without totally pissing off her base like Obama did. Obama never really did have to address police brutality, wealth inequality, being buddie buddie with Wall street (i.e. things the democratic base cares about). A big reason why is that Obama has been able to keep the base from taking over the party from the centrists is that he is a master at the "feeling bad for doing absolutely nothing" speech. If/when Hillary tries this she lacks his charisma, and though her policy(s) won't probably look any different she'll just end up looking and sounding like an a-hole.

I thought Trump would win for a while but I don't think so anymore. Granted i don't think Hillary is a lock because there could be drastically low turnout but I think she'll win somewhat comfortably. I thought after he won the nomination Trump would go hard after some of the NE blue states (PA, NY, NJ, NH) by trying to gain union support and lobbying for infastructure, construction and stimulus work. However he's really done nothing of the sort. However he's went a lot farther right than he was in the primaries (usually that works the other way around).

Nice piece rook and very plausible. Now the question today does Hillary have the flu or is something else going on? Internet is going crazy with thoughts of brain cancer and so on. The more I have watched her these past few months I have to say see isn't the same as she once was. Something may be dragging her down health wise.
 

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery.
As soon as they enter the bakery, Hillary steals three pastries and puts them in her pocket.
She says to Donald, "See how clever I am? The owner didn't see anything and I don't even need to lie.” I will definitely win the election.
The Donald says to Hillary, "That's the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result."
Donald goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick." Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him a pastry. Trump swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives him another one. Then Donald asks for a third pastry and eats that, too.
The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, "What did you do with the pastries?" Trump replies, "Look in Hillary's pocket".
