ElectionProjection.com: Clinton: 291 Trump: 247

I know this may be getting ahead ourselves but given the debate on whether Hillary can win versus Trump I thought this was significant to the discussion. Here is their latest projection of a Clinton versus Trump matchup in November..

ELECTORAL VOTES
Hillary Clinton* 291
Donald Trump* 247
Clinton +44

POPULAR VOTE
Hillary Clinton* 45.3%
Donald Trump* 42.5%
Clinton +2.8%

It is a dream to go into the general against a candidate who has been vetted in no way.

Explaining how she learned of their financial hardships from her father are going to be great.

"I was leaving Trump Tower with daddy when we saw a homeless man resting against our building. Daddy told me he had eight billion more than we did."

That is paraphrasing but is very close to word for word.

Hillary's team is going to need to get ready for the vile trash that is going to come out of this man's mouth. He is liable to say anything.

I may not have liked the Republican nominees of the past, but this is the first time that they are about to nominate a person who is totally unfit for office. That's why party leaders are having heartburn behind the scenes, it's not just the possibility that they'll lose the WH for a third term in a row, it's that they realize that Trump is unfit for the job of president and they feel impotent to stop him.

They are about to nominate a vile, ignorant, racist, sexist, megalomaniac for the highest office in the world. Trump could be America's first dictator. Its frightening.
