The current sentiment of the US elections looks to be tilting towards Clinton, due to the self-inflicted injuries and own goals that Trump is ever so capable of doing it to himself.
What that had previously worked for him to earn his Republican nomination against his opponents has come back to bite him in the backside. His no holds barred and take no prisoners attitude to crush his competitors took the media by storm then and they loved it. This new, never tried before style of street fighting brought into the political arena had attracted the disenfranchised white lower middle class who felt that their needs have been ignored for years.
Now that it is only him against Clinton in the final 100 meters of the race, this style is cracking at the seams. He cannot stick to the script and his foot in the mouth moments are happening regularly. The media has turned against him and like a trapped animal, Trump will do what he knows best and fight back viciously, damn the consequences. The Republican elites are experiencing their “Oh my God, what have I done?” moment and trying hard to distance themselves. There is zero party unity and things are going to get worst. Only the hardcore Trump fans (read : white lower class male) will be left. The more educated and privileged Republicans may simply abstain from voting to preserve party loyalty.
Between a candidate that lied and the other one that has the potential to blow up the whole country, who will you choose?
