The electoral college takes it from a 45-55 to a 50-50. But what on God's green earth gets him that 45% of the votes?

People who only loosely follow politics but liked the Obama economy that trump inherited and only watch Fox News. "He can't possibly be worse than a demoncrat, he's the same party as Reagan! It's really sad how the media slanders him"

some people are misogynistic, others like how much he represents the average American (dancing away the difficult problems).

If you go by the polls, the two candidates are within margin of error of each other, or very close. We're looking at a possibility that Trump would not only win the EC, but the overall popular vote, as well.

The EC is not the only issue at play. Millions of Americans either like Trump or are willing to handwave his behavior away rather than vote for a Democrat.

No Republican has won the popular vote in 22 years, and that was because of 9/11. Before that, it was George Bush Sr. in 1988.

Nope, we won't. I say that because my claim is specifically that the EC is not the only thing going on. If the EC breaks with the popular vote next month, it still won't be the only thing going on.
