Not a rhetorical question, a dumb question

Welcome back, Pitching Wedge. Yes, it is over not only because of the swing state polls but also because I don’t think we’ve EVER seen a candidate do so poorly among minorities- Trump has at best 1% of the black vote, just a little more of the Hispanic vote, and the Muslim vote may be even less than the other two. George Wallace did better than that.
His only real chance is a 100% turnout of blue collar white guys and a historic poor turnout of Hillary voters who believe the race is already over. But I don’t think even Trump’s core base is that invested in him. The guy is not even paying his campaign staff- Manaforte and Conway have not been paid per the NY Times. This is usually the beginning of the end for a candidate. Meanwhile, Hillary is raking it in and probably giving raises. In an election year, I say follow the money.
The real question is whether the landslide will carry the Dems to control of the Senate (likely) and maybe even the House (unlikely). But let’s be honest – since gaining control of Congress, have the Republicans accomplished anything aside from symbolic but fruitless votes to repeal Obamacare, suing the President, opposing common sense gun safety bills, and blocking the appointment of the Obama admin SCOTUS nominee? Has there EVER been a worse Congress?

Talk about a rhetorical question------------ 
but here he is, still standing.
I've said this since the beginning, but it bears repeating, Trump has always given the GOP their best chance of winning this cycle. Do any of you honestly think Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz or any of the other GOP candidates would be doing any better in the swing states? With the possible exception of John Kasich, no other GOP candidate would have stood a chance against the Clinton machine, all they could have done was "lose by a narrower margin"
The polls and the media have been wrong about Trump since the beginning. Trump's attack style of campaigning was much maligned in the primaries, but proved more than effective enough for him to win. NEVER has a candidate for POTUS had so many weaknesses to expose than Hillary. Lets see what happens when he starts hitting her and hitting her hard. This wasn't even supposed to be a race, this has been touted as a "coronation" for Hillary for the past 2 years. Trump has what I have always called a "punchers chance" to win. Count him out at your own peril.
BTW, I have never been able to stand the guy, but compared to Hillary, he looks like a fucking saint.

Or are you a chiseler as well as a welsher?
I wouldn't put it past a person with your questionable moral character to make a bet with me at "even money" and then lay off the bet at track odds and make a profit no matter who wins. Only a moron would make a bet at anything other than fair market value. Fifty bucks for you is probably a full day's pay. I might be many things, but a moron isn't one of them even though I used my winnings from our last wager as a tip to a taxi driver.
Come on Cheesy, grow a pair and make a real wager at the real odds for once in your life.

I'm 200% decided on NEVER Forrest Trump.
But, I have a hard time voting for HRC, given her reckless behaviors on handling classified info, and the dumb lies that she didn't know what "C" meant.
I want to see a first female president. Help us guys in this quandary. Give us 5 reasons to vote for her. Not just 5 X Trump. Otherwise I'll vote Jill Stein or write in Ivanka Trump!!
