I'm not remotely a fan of hillary clinton, but she's currently blowing out Donald Trump in the polls (538 currently has her as a 4-1 favorite to win)

Considering how much of a disaster Trump and his campaign has been, this is still pretty underwhelming that he was close to matching her 50-50 as much as 1-2 weeks ago.

Even if Trump is not being funded, influenced etc by Russia he's amateur at best. I almost compare Trump to a Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Not a great statesman and would create a terrible political environment and make major mistakes. :( It only takes one weak president and combined with a horrible congress and we're gonna have a bad 4-8 years.

The best he has gotten has been a tie, when he had a really good week and she had a really bad few weeks. The normal state of the race has been a commanding lead for Clinton.
