WOW!
Texas going pink, not solidly Trump, and South Carolina too. With Trump's mouth and tweets killing him and women piling on claims of his lechery does Clinton need to spend on any more advertisements. Don't worry. If he loses he'll still have a "piece of ass" as he claims. His daughter.
I can see a lot of Christian-oriented Republicans staying home or making a protest vote against him.
One other thing. Trump's sleaziness and gross attack style has increased enthusiasm for Clinton that had not been there much before.
I'd be extremely surprised if Texas went blue. In my opinion, Texas would still go red even if Adolf Hitler ran for the GOP. I do expect South Carolina to possibly go blue, but by a slight margin.
I do agree that Trump's sleazy attacks against the Clintons has only brought up her numbers. Thirty years ago when the same thing happened, her favorable numbers went up since she was looked upon as a victim and people felt for her. Even Donald Trump at the time felt this way. Lets' face it: Bill Clinton isn't the one running for President, and all the stuff about him was covered over and over 30 years ago. People have put that stuff behind them and the majority of people didn't want it brought back.
But many of Trump's current and former advisors warned Trump not to go there and that it would likely turn off the voting bases they need instead of getting them on board. But Trump went against their wishes and gave his 'base' of crazies what they wanted: red meat. Trump doesn't seem to grasp that to win the Presidency, you need more than his base of bigots and lunatic supporters who've been with him since the primaries. Which is why today his poll numbers are in the 30's.
Trump is also being manipulated by a few advisors with personal agendas, such as Steve Bannon of Breitbart. Bannon likely doesn't give a damn whether or not Trump wins. He's using Trump to attack the Clintons and rile up his own base of deplorable racists and bigots. Currently, the election has turned into Breitbart vs. Clintons and the GOP.
Let me make a bold prediction: Trump will be one of the biggest losers in US presidential history come election day. The forces of good over evil will prevail.
And let me point out that one of my earlier predictions is coming true: that Donald Trump's nomination would destroy the GOP. But the irony is that in the long run, this is the best thing that could happen to the Republican party. It will force them to take a real good look in the mirror and realize that the radical element within their party cannot co-exist with other conservatives and moderates within their party. The party has already lost many long-time conservatives and moderates to the Democrats and other smaller parties. Can they get them back? Maybe. But one thing is certain: the party's survival is seriously in question right now and it's survival will depend if they can chase way those radical elements, which they were responsible to create in the first place. The party created a Frankenstein monster which took over the party. Will they be able to kill that monster? Time will tell.
