So is there actually anyone left in this thread who think Hillary will win this thing pretty comfortably other than me?
I'd say a Clinton victory is about as safe as a Coalition victory next month. Not entirely impossible that she'll lose, but probable that she will win

Yes it does. More people are going to vote Trump than Hillary.
The amount of people who voted at the last election means little when comparing to any polling done now. It was an incumbent election. And I'm interested to see where Trump is polling at "70 million votes".

Having said that if he actually lands 70 million votes he will win easily.

Cannot see Trump winning despite my strong dislike of Clinton. I think the Republicans are screwed in general when it comes to presidential elections because of demographics, and I don't think Trump can win the groups he wants to capture (e.g. working class blue collar workers).

I still think she wins pretty easily. But she sure knows how to piss off potential voters of hers and to look like she stands for nothing but furthering her own career.

BOY OH BOY WOWEE! VIDEO OF CROOKED HILLARY'S LIKELY RUNNING MATE, ELIZABETH WARREN, CALLING CROOKED HILLARY "A DONOR PUPPET" HAS SURFACED.

Seriously. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren, Crooked Hillary's biggest cheerleader right now, describes in excruciating detail, Hillary's initial opposition to the bankruptcy bill that would put millions of people into poverty, due to her belief that it would have catastrophic effects for millions of low income Americans.

... When she was first lady.

When she became Senator, she also become beholden to her donors' interests. Her donors were the credit card companies. She voted for the bill.

Pocahontas can't possibly be VP now, otherwise Trump would just play this entire speech, instead of advertisements, for the entire election campaign.

Will she win legitimately? I doubt it. Will she be the next president? Extremely likely. There's too much lying on this election for the powers that be to allow Trump to succeed.

Disagree completely - there are a myriad of reports of Sanders supporters stating they'd vote Trump before Clinton because of her "arrangements' (read: fundamentally corrupt).
These are largely people who believe in social democracy and would form a large proportion of the most progressive vote in US politics who find Hillary as bad, if not worse, than Trump's ignorant / populist ranting.
Don't confuse noise in the farthest reaches of the internet with the attitudes of the broader population. The greatest likelihood for most disenfranchised Sanders supporters is to not vote. I don't see them voting for Trump unless he drops the xenophobic rhetoric and doubles down on the problems with America's economy and Hillary's love of war.

No.

Simply because it's more than just "a few nutbags" and given he has contradicted himself a number of times during the campaign and his comments relating to foreign policy are more dangerous than simply being naïve he appears to be setting the US up for direct military or economic confrontation with China, Russia or both. The repercussions would be disastrous.
You lecturing other people is pretty tiresome when you are demonstrably wrong on key facts. Clinton was the person who wanted to set up a no fly zone over Syria, which the Russians would have taken as an act of aggression against them.

Thankfully Obama did not listen to his neocon Secretary of State.

"A few nutbags". Clinton is the warmongering nutbag.

Of course she will.

And only in America can a billionaire whose had his fingers in every business pie for 4 decades and who is now most famous for being a reality TV star and run before now be seen as 'anti establishment'. It's like when they dressed up GW Bush in a cowboy hat and managed to convince some moonbats he was the outsider.

Clinton knows no matter what she does the Presidency is in the bag
Now with the big O's endorsement she doesn't have to do anything but choose who will be the next VP.
Then get to stacking the SCOTUS with progressives
