Episode 21 – Why Donald Trump Wins
Manage episode 308832044 series 3021383
I do not want anyone to expect an endorsement of Donald Trump within this episode. However, I believe things are aligning well for a Donald Trump victory on November 8. The reignited Hillary Clinton FBI investigation, the drops in the stock markets, and the continued conflict in Syria play right into Donald Trump’s hands. I do not believe undecided voters are what will sway the election; instead, it is voter turnout among the two candidates that will determine the election. Hillary Clinton’s support is more lukewarm than Donald Trump’s, as evidenced (admittedly anecdotally) by the prevalence of Trump’s supporters online and the turnouts at his rallies. I expect the recent Clinton news to keep a good number of her supporters home rather than taking the time to go out to the polls. According to FiveThirtyEight.com (linked below), Trump’s chances of winning as of November 2 are up to about 1 in 3, while they were only about 1 in 8 just a few weeks ago. Ultimately, though, I implore you to not waste your time worrying too much about who wins this election. Spend the time improving your productivity at work, your relationship with your family, or bolstering your skills.
(I have posted a couple more dubious sources below, but these sources are speculating similarly to my ideas about James Comey’s motivation.)
