    It is my belief that the devil will not have him, leaving him in an awkward purgatory.

    Sounds a whole lot like subsidies for wind and solar energy. Only not as much was lost in Iraq.

    College applications require the parents medical histories and are signed under the pains and penalties of perjuries?

    So, you have 3rd party candidates pulling in around 13% of the vote? That sounds high to me.

    I'm trying to stay on the conservative side, but it is a five-candidate race now, right?

    Been busy all morning, has the questioning about Hillary's health due to a photo from February blown over yet? If so, what silliness has replaced it?

    Sure, but if it's 40%-37%, it could still be a big electoral win for Clinton, but would be closer on a percentage basis than the last two elections.

    It would also be a startlingly low percentage for Clinton.

    What percentage 3rd party candidates get is a big unknown.

    Right now, Trump is only winning about 75% of Republicans. If that vote comes home, the race gets much tighter, and Trump is over 40%.

    Without looking, do you remember the name of the latest entrant?

    I'm not sure he's a factor outside of Utah, and he likely only draws away from Johnson, if we assume he's the candidate of #NeverTrump.

    The 3rd party vote is a certain size. I don't think a new candidate grows it much.

    I agree that more Republicans "will come home." But I think you're leaving out the historical inaccuracy that polls have had when predicting Hispanic vote; they usually err on the low side.

    That's why Trump will finish with 40 percent of the vote, max.

    I love how you are setting the terms such that a landslide victory for Clinton is still a loss.

    I think I want her to win for the same reason that I want Tiger Woods to win. Extend my youth just a little longer.

    Dave Weigh debunked it!
