I am very concerned that the attacks in Nice and elsewhere will assure Trump of election.

Guess what happens if NO candidate gets the required 270 electoral votes? Zeke will know this answer given that he's our resident mathematician. is there even a permeable that shows that reaching 270 is not possible? See my response to Jeff's post, based on Stats reported by Nate Silver and the WaPo and Real Clear Politics. There is little chance that that will happen. That's what I figured - little chance of that happening. See I paid attention in Math Theory in college.

I am very concerned that the attacks in Nice and elsewhere will assure Trump of election. That would mean that most Americans will buy into fear. I'm not seeing that. Yes, it will happen that most Republicans will buy into fear - that's what they naturally do. That's why they're Republicans. ![[Linked Image from 4.bp.blogspot.com]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N14bbEPiprU/Va8gW-89WGI/AAAAAAAA4ZU/r3bm8WXXh6g/s1600/FoxNews-Sheep.jpg)

I am very concerned that the attacks in Nice and elsewhere will assure Trump of election. Trump has signed the end of any chance at winning by picking Pence as a running mate. Instead of broadening the demographic he has only reduced it and is not adding to his support (those who would support Pence would have voted for Trump anyway). The important point is that, although Hillary may dip in the polls, mostly a reaction to the email issue, Trump is not gaining any ground. And we have to see what the effect of Sanders support will add, and that certainly will add, to her base. Also, she has yet to "leak" the VEEP appointment. That could possibly (obviously depending on who she chooses) swing things further her way. And last but not least, the best weapon the Dems have against Trump is the plethora of batshyte crazy things he has said for the past year.

There's a whole slew of new ads out on the net that are just quotes of Trump.

Don't underestimate the opposition to Ms. Clinton. That's a big issue as well. She's doing poorly among independents which would come in part from a more moderate Republican base. Her unfavorable rating is pretty bad.
We all agree on ignorance - but a lot of that ignorance comes from the political system itself.
All that notwithstanding, he can't win a general election no matter what he does. He is doomed to fail, just like his casinos.

Trump-Pence. Isn't that an old coin? Something not worth very much.
