An Upbeat View

If you've been hoping for a Clinton loss, but feeling fearful of a Trump loss, I have an opinion piece you might enjoy. Writing in National Review, which mostly has been anti-Trump, Heather R. Higgins senses a groundswell for Trump which polls are only slowly picking up.
Given the choice between someone who will get pretty much every policy decision wrong and someone who might get some of them right, more and more people who now can’t see voting for Trump will decide that on the “lesser of two evils” spectrum, they will be a Trump voter, even if they are not a Trump supporter.

Particularly with more and more Clinton pay-to-play revelations, if by early October the social opprobrium shifts from “how could I possibly support him?” to “how could I possibly enable her?” then Republicans will win the presidency.
And she doesn't even consider the decades-long impact of Hillary appointing youngish liberals to the Supreme Court.
