There has never been a presidential contest in which one candidate was in as much trouble as Trump. Yet two new polls\u00a0 put Trump 2 points ahead nationally\u00a0(Rasmussen) and tied (L A Times). It is now clear that the voters, perhaps the majority, are determined to kick the establishment very hard and the conventional unsuitability of Trump makes him the right choice. \u00a0I heard of a four year old\u00a0who told her mother that there was a man and a woman standing for president.\u00a0 The woman told lies and the man teased girls. But the man would keep them safe, so she would vote for him.<\/p>\n
So \u00a0the pundits\u00a0may have got it wrong. It is not Trump who is in trouble, it is Hilary. She should be romping home not sliding back. If the Democrats had\u00a0listened to the young people of America they would have picked Bernie Sanders as their nominee. He would now be on the home straight heading for a landslide. They made a terrible mistake. If Clinton loses it will be the greatest humiliation in the Party’s history. The voters will not just be rejecting the Democrats. They will be rejecting modern America. It will indeed be a Brexit moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
