Re: OT OT - Our next president

Jamok, do you really think the race is over? I recall the first debate between Obama and Romney where Mitt won, and then Barack turned it around in debate 2. Not that I'm saying a similar scenario is likely here, I'm just not quite as confident as you in the outcome. My fear is it's like Brexit where the "leave" voters turned out to be higher than polls suggested. Perhaps they were leaning that way but didn't want to appear dumb since all the "experts" were saying how foolish it would be to leave? However on election day, in a private booth, nobody looking over their shoulder... I see a similar scenario with Trump, and it runs on many of the same principles: immigrants bad and scary and NIMBY, "experts" have got us where we are now, etc. 

I don't particularly trust or like Hillary, but of the two candidates she's the only one qualified. In fact, I can't think of any time in history where there has been such a gulf between the candidates in terms of how qualified they are to do the job. Has there ever been?
