Who is gonna win?

September 20th and it looks like Hillary is really slipping in the polls.  She is neck and neck with Trump now.  Her health is obviously in question as she has taken off yet another day from the campaign trail.  Meanwhile Trump is out on the stump giving speeches and talking policy.  

The election is too close for Hillary to be out of the spotlight as much as she has been.  This is definitely not good.  If this keeps up and if she lays an egg in the debate(s) then Trump could very well win.  In short, the Democrats have, once again, dropped the ball and fucked us in the ass.  Yay,

The debate is stacked in Trump's favor any which way you look at it. Hillary will have to do a stellar job at the debates to tilt the odds in her favor. People have such low expectations of Trump that simply not drooling and pissing himself on the podium is sufficient for him to win.

I dunno guys............
Yes, if trump does not place his whole head up his ass, people pat him on the head like a good baby, but I am not sure that will work in a head to head debate (assuming there is a good moderator). However, I think the "up for grabs" votes are so slim this time around that even the debates may not matter.

I think Hillary's health problems will really hamper her in the long run.  Right now it doesn't look like she's got the stamina to do the job.  Seriously, her health is fucked up.  Even Bernie Sanders seems healthier than she does and he's older than her.

She has pneumonia, big deal (these days).
I don't disagree it will hurt her in the polls, but that hurt will come from people who probably would not vote for her, or are just looking for an excuse not to vote for her anyway.
It's seriously crazy to me how the accepted standards between the two are so far apart.

Don't underestimate the depth of the average American stupidity.

Nope but you have been diplomatic on occasion.

Hillary represents the old establishment which doesn't have much appeal this election cycle.  That's what is going to hurt her in the long run I think.  

BTW, I was thinking for a brief second that I would vote for Gary Johnson but was quickly reminded that the Libertarian party is run by a bunch of mouth-breathing morons who think marijuana is a viable issue in presidential politics.  So, yeah, not gonna vote for that douche.   

In talking with friends and family I was surprised to discover that almost everyone I know is fed up with the choices this time around.  Some aren't even going to bother voting.

They should save the "aren't going to bother voting" after Trump loses. Next election will probably have more sane choices. Right now, Trump has too much momentum to simply ignore or cast protest votes.
