 GOP insiders: Maybe Trump can win

A growing number of Republicans think he can defeat Hillary Clinton. But they worry his campaign's ground game is a disaster.

Once resigned to a November defeat, swing state Republicans are increasingly optimistic about Donald Trump’s chances now that the GOP presidential nominee has closed a once-yawning deficit in the polls against Hillary Clinton.

That’s according to The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, operatives and strategists in 11 battleground states, 10 of which President Barack Obama carried in 2012. While a majority of GOP insiders still say Clinton would carry their state if the election were held today, significantly more Republicans now say Trump would win than even just a few weeks ago.

The mood is trending Trump, no question about it.  The more Hillary campaigns, the worse she looks.  In spite of everything, Trump is still bigger than life.  If he can stay on message he could pull this out.  Pennsylvania is going to be the key battleground.

Although it is too early to make predictions for Nov. as of now, this is true. And this email issue and her lies regarding it isn't going away anytime soon.

Well, the race is Hillary's to lose.

But she may just be that bad.

IMO Heads they win, tails we lose.
