So what your saying is Trump is right about her lack of enthusiasm ;-

Ha ha ha... No, I would say that MN has its voting process chit together!

It's not that hard to get all 9 people in to vote.

I posted this last November, 11/13/2015 to be exact:

Here's my simple logic, barring a 911 type disaster, economic meltdown or the FBI indicting Hillary:

1. Polls at this point are virtually meaningless unless they show a huge margin.
2. Demographics favor the D's. They did in 2008, more so in 2012, and they move that way about .4% each year, so that's another 1.6 in favor of Ds. Old white guys are dying off fast.
3. Ds start with a significant Electoral College advantage.
4. Hillary will do very well among women, the largest voting bloc.
5. Trump has alienated minorities at every turn. He won't even get Romney's tiny %, which the Rs need to equal at least to stand a chance.
6. The economy is doing OK. The Ds can show steady improvement in many measures since 2008 and plausibly say "Who wants to go back to policies that led to the mess GWB left us?"


So, although there was a FBI inquiry into Clinton, there was no indictment, but a lot of controversy occurred right at the end, which hurt Clinton a bit. Polls were tightening anyway as Rs consolidated, and the follow up "clearing her" letter helped move things back to her a bit, but I still think the Comey letter had an impact of a point or two maybe.

Bottom line - I stand by my post from a year ago and think Hillary will win the popular vote by 3 or so and will get around 300 Electoral Votes.

Dang, I was hoping Maryland would go Red this year... grrr 

Ha.  Good luck with that.

it's funny, though...even in MD where Trump has no chance in hell, all I've seen are Trump signs, nothing for Hillary.  Nada.

Always hard to tell with less than 100% returns coming in.
Florida is up for Trump about 1.5% now (91%in), but I have no clue what counties haven't reported in yet.  He could still win by 5% or lose by 5% depending on which counties are left.

VA seems to be surprising right now.  Trump up by 5.5% with 59% reporting?  eek

That being said, I have no idea what counties haven't reported yet so he could lose by 20%.

Sometimes I hate election night.  lol

I'm still cautiously optimistic.  He's still in it, so that's all we can ask for at this point.  :-D

Just remember, the Simpsons predicted this 15 years ago.

It was too prophetic for it not to be true.  Trump is likely a time traveler.
