Do people actually think Hillary will be a good president or do they really hate Trump that much?

Am I crazy for thinking that Congress will not be able to contain Trump, should he win?

Two friends are trying to "talk me from the ledge" on this issue...

I don't see the people who are voting for Trump being okay with his policies not being enacted by 2018 and believe that they will vote into office Representatives and Senators who will accomplish his legislative goals.

They say by 2018, the people will realize he isn't competent. I have no faith in that.

If Trump actually end up winning this election it is going be a massive stain on American history as the problems he can do economically and socially to America is massive. People voting for him will end up even more angry and extreme when they find out he wont do much if anything to help them.
If it comes to it hopefully he ruins everything and this is the sharp and hard lesson that was needed.

Is there a way Clinton can still win?
Yep. But the the results so far suggest the polls got it wrong and more people are going out and voting for Trump than the polls could predict.. If that continues, he wins.

What's your opinion on polls and possibilities now.. are you a Corbynite yet?
:lol: Fair to say faith in polls is now pretty low, but there's also the matter that they seems to have been off by about 4% this time, whereas Corbyn is currently behind by 15%. But regardless, I stopped complaining a month or two back and recognise he'll get a GE to prove it one way or the other.

Again, BBC still using a huge picture of Clinton smiling and an awful picture of Trump. Embarrassing coverage. Also, they seem to be avoiding saying any sentence with Trump and president in it.
I would too if I was American.

Hillary would be far less likely to be a disaster. Trump is volatile. Its not good for anything.

This is proving the fact that people would not admit to voting Trump in the pre election polls

He's winning Wisconsin and Michigan. I don't see how Clinton gets there now.

I don't see how Republicans in the House and Senate can go against him, at least in the short term. Tea Party/ Trumpites would kill them in their next primaries if they did.
