I almost thought I could stomach a Donald presidency, mainly because I fear he is going to win and am trying to steel myself. Also, for the last couple of weeks, his “handlers” seem to have put him on a tight leash and he came close to sounding like a normal, rational, possibly even decent human being.
Then he went to Mexico, followed by his “I hate everyone who is not a white American who thinks like I do and I think it is wonderful for you to hate them too” speech in Arizona.
This morning, I perused the news stories. And if the Wall Street Journal, a newspaper with a strong Republican bent and a consistent “We hate Hillary” stance, is going to be this critical, then perhaps the nation will manage not to elect Donald.
But I find myself fixated by the polls, particularly his chances of winning as projected by the FiveThirtyEight team put together by Nate Silver. In the last two weeks, Donald went from a low of 10% chance of winning to a more than 25% chance now.
What is going on?
