Do you anticipate that this race will tighten up as we get near the end? reggieandlee Oct 2016 #1

Perhaps it is the campaign in front that starts to play defense, not wanting to drop the ball. I OnDoutside Oct 2016 #2

hope the Clinton campaign drives on, batters the crap out of Trump and goes for the prize of the Senate AND Congress. If they fall short, then at least they tried. Plus we need ONE more tape, or something, to pin Trump down, especially given the ACA cost rise.

The early voting process has changed the game. Lots of votes have already been cast and that makes it practically impossible for the Trump campaign (if you can call it a campaign) to effectively mount a counter offensive.

Clinton has 32 offices in Arizona, Trump zero. All you need to know. Clinton has massive ground operations, Trump does not.
