Yeah no. She's been affected by temperature fluctuations. She was never in real trouble.


Did you put lots of money on her when her odds went way down? Most people who can beat the best experts would do so.

She was only a very slight favorite for several weeks.


When you (or someone else, not sure who it was) posted this dramatic news that she was down to 65% chance of winning, all I thought was, "Damn, 65% is still a whole lot".

I disagree. If Trump didn't flub during the debate, he'd be in decent shape. Turnout is going to dictate the election and there are very real scenarios that could push the election towards Trump.

Play around with this:

Yeah, she was always a favorite, I think maybe she got as low as 60%. 60% vs 75% is still an enormous difference, though. (Intuitively, it seems more significant when you compare Trump's 40% to 25%)

I am thinking part of the drop had to do with concerns about Clinton's health and the possibility she would have to drop out, and her strong debate performance eased those qualms.

I agree, although I still don't see how anyone thought she was going to drop out. :lol:

I'm seriously so sick of hearing about Trump already; he's a fringe candidate who stands no chance at getting the presidency. He's this year's Mittens Romney (gets tons of attention on the internet but loses by a landslide).
