It's early days, but it's infuriating and depressing how well Trump is doing. WTF is wrong with people? This is like Harper. I just don't get it.

The actual answer lies in their flawed education system.

Clinton has impressive leads in Ohio and North Carolina, both states that Trump will have a very hard time winning without. It's early but the numbers aren't looking good for Trump.

It looks really good for Clinton so far. She is doing better than expected in the swing states with the exception of Florida. It is very close right now in Florida but hopefully there are many more votes to be counted in the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale areas.

Former Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent's grandson, who looks to be about 60-70 years old, was just interviewed on Radio-Canada from his home in Florida. He is an American citizen and a trained lawyer down there. He is also the editor of the snowbird newspaper Le Soleil de la Floride.

Anyway, St-Laurent is pro-Trump. He says that as a lifelong Republican he supports Trump because it will free the GOP from the grip of the far right!

In some parts of Florida, Donald Trump has won more votes than any Republican candidate ever.

FFS.

He's not the first to make that observation. Many of Trump's views are not in sync with either the Republican mainstream nor the Tea Party rump.

So even mushroom clouds have a silver lining, eh?

NYT now forecasting a Trump win as the most likely outcome at 58%

Most Republicans have denounced Trump and some have in fact said they would vote for Clinton. Natural order? I don't think so. The U.S. is going in a new direction. Last I saw, Trump had 47% of the national vote vs Hillary 45%.

Very disheartening so far.

I just don't understand it.

Even countless high profile Republicans have spoken out against Trump.

Doesn't that count for anything or raise any red flags for these voters?

When the only two living presidents from the same party state that they are against the current candidate, do those opinions not hold any sway?

Seriously, weren't the Bushs their second coming of Regan just 10 years ago?

Now what they say is worth nothing to their once followers?

Like, I just don't get it.

And that is just one example.

Democrats made a massive strategic failure by sabotaging Sanders in the primaries for golden girl Clinton.

Americans have spoken very loudly that they wanted an outsider. Sanders would have mopped the floor with Trump.

Democrats are sleeping in the bed they made for themselves.

Keep your eyes on Tulsi Gabbard for 2020. There is a women deserving of being the first female president.
