Not sure what your point(s) is / are. The people calculating these
odds are taking tens of millions of dollars in wagers on this and
numerous other issues. There is little doubt they are going to parse,
ad nauseam, all available, relevant data to maximize their return on
investment.

In the end, they are attempting to predict the future which is never a
sure thing. However, in my humble opinion, they have a far better
record of accuracy than any other soothsayers.

Even without these odds I am confident Trump is toast. He screwed the
pooch with far to many women and as most men know, women have long,
long memories.

Unfortunately, I suspect Clinton's smack down of Trump will be epic.

I am not sure Trump ever wanted to win. He certainly could not do more
to throw the election now. He has a new TV station launch in the works
and if he was president he would have to throw away his biggest asset,
marketing the name "Trump".
I still would not be shocked if he quit before the election to avoid
losing. We would be voting for Pence (using the rules of secession)
and that might be why he is there in the first place.

You must have missed the story, all new Trump hotel properties will not bear his name, instead they will bear
the name of "Scion". Apparently his hotel census is down significantly since the nation learned what a dick
he is.

See:

Trump Hotels Drop Name for New Hotels

That may work on new hotels but the existing ones have his name
plastered everywhere from the dishes and linens to the marble in the
lobby.

It would be interesting to see what effect his circus has had on the
resale values of condos/apartments with the Trump name on them.
If the brand name is having trouble in the hotel markets, the same
should be happening there too.
You would think alienating so many people, especially college
educated, wealthier people and women, while appealing to red necks,
can't help sell $2 mil properties.

That comes across as a little too elitist for my tastes. Trump supporters might be a little gullible or
naive, but the vast majority of them are good Americans, good people who want the best for our country.

Unfortunately, Trump is a con man, a stereotypical carpetbagger. Because of his notoriety, brashness and
braggadocio, many people in the flyover states, who are not accustomed to dealing with such deceivers, have
allowed themselves to get too close to Trump's gravitational pull and have ended up in his orbit.

Negative things can also be said about those who support Clinton. However, many of those voting for Clinton
will do so because they are deathly afraid of Trump. If the alt-right had not been so artfully deceived by
Trump and if we conservatives had nominated any one of a number of other candidates, Mrs. Clinton would barely
be at 30% in the polls and our nation would be on the path to unification instead of further division.

Mrs. Clinton will be elected POTUS and this is a loss for all of America, not just for Trump and his
supporters. The same could be said if Trump were to become POTUS.

All the above is simply my humble opinion.
