I'm afraid Hilary is gaining in the polls too fast too soon

And Trump will withdraw. I used to think his ego would not let him, but now I think withdrawing would be less ego bruising than losing the election in a landslide. That is the kind of loss the polls are indicating right now. Of course, things can change, but I don't think Trump is capable of improving. I just wish the polls would cool down a bit, at least until the Convention.

He's probably hoping for the Brexit effect--where racists, xenophobes and haters say one thing to the pollster, and then vote the other way in the polling booth....!

We just need to stay on our game.

The media wants a horse race.

I don't think you need to fear Trump will drop out or be forced out.

don't think he will either. The MSM will see to it that a horse race is perceived, regardless of what's real. Which in turn will let the ego driven shitgibbon (LOVE THAT WORD for him) keep on with his rancid speeches.

he surely thinks he will win or that he can someway negotiate his way through to the WH. Maybe he plans to trade an abandoned casino for the presidency.

And ignore polls that indicate he is losing.

As long as it is after the Republican Convention, it will be a disaster.
