Dunno. I think he could win in a landslide just because of his masterful persuasion skills. He isn't dumb the way he is characterized by the media and his enemies. He understands exactly what he is doing. But like Hurricane Sandy helped sink Mitt Romney in 2016, it the unexpected that will bring Trump down. Or Hillary.

Hillary is on the war path with a huge war chest for media campaign to attack trump over the coming weeks. Will be interesting to see if it works. I think it will be water off a ducks back.

Trump's campaign is slumping. His manager has just been fired. But I expect a third act. It isn't over yet.

Trouble is I get CNN, BBC World, RT and EuroNews... all the same shite at the hotel here in Riyadh.

Impartial reporting really, well as far as I can see. Little actually since the Orlando terrorist act and the MP shot in the UK.

Personally, he has done well to get this far but he is far from Presidential material.

The Clinton campaign has 35 times more cash on hand than does Trump. Doesn't look good for Trump but I expect a third act.

Clinton may have a big war chest full of money but so did Jeb Bush and it didn't help him one bit ...

I think the silent majority will elect Trump. They are sick of the left and their Neo-Marxist PC and they don't think the republican establishment has the balls to tackle the Neo-Marxism that has been forced down the throat of society for the last 20+ years as they marched through the institutions.

Trump won't be a bad thing but I doubt he will be enough to eradicate the white ants.

This election is really fresh territory for American politics. The Republicans love to hate the Clintons. But does America care about that? And the Republicans are in disarray. But Hillary isn't an exciting candidate for the Democrats.

Paul Manafort is the quintessential faceless man of the GOP, and has been since Ford. I cannot fathom how Trump could continue his anti-establishment angle while having Manafort run his campaign. Act 3? He needs a seventh wave. You know you're fucked when the only thing your political opponent has to do to beat you is stay out of jail.

I think when all is said and done, pundits will look back on this extraordinary election and note two major turning points. September 2015 when Trump started to believe his own hype, and April 2016 when the American voter started to smell Trump's bullshit.
