It's Getting Down To The Wire... Who Will Win The Election

I've been covering the political scene for a while now. Seen it all, heard it all it exhausts me. In fact, the other day I tweeted, "The one thing I have learned about covering politics is you won't survive it without a sense of humor."
But now it's getting down to the wire and I'm curious as to who myLot user's think will win the U.S. Presidency. After everything that has gone on, who do you believe will win?
I'm sticking to what I've said all along and here's why. I don't believe Donald Trump is the kind of man who would run for president not believing 100% he would be the next president.
I'm sure all who ran wanted to be president but Donald Trump has a different way of thinking. Whether it's his IQ or businesslike mind, Trump doesn't come across as a man just to do something to"see" how it goes. No, he's more of a well-oiled machine with a blueprint.
I'm sure Hillary Clinton in some form is the same way but she has too many questionable things surrounding her from Day 1. Her attendance is a disaster in itself almost like she doesn't even need to be there; forces behind the scene are pushing this through with or without her.
That being said, this is all just my opinion regardless who I want to win but based on the character and what makes up these two candidates. Let's face it they are like night and day when it comes to their health. One, healthy as ever the other deeply questionable and lying. Not opinion but fact! Earlier this year Trump's doctor released information on his health and while Hillary's doctor claims just season allergies she's seen in multiple videos almost being dragged by supporters during repeated medical crisis.
If you think it's almost over folks think again. It's just beginning for America because whoever wins the election will cause a chain of events to occur.

This is an interesting question, and the person I think will win isn't the person to lead this country, but personally neither is. Trump is an arrogant, self-absorbed, racist bigot and Clinton has obvious health issues and a history of breaching national security, either of which is bad news for the United States. However, given what I know about the candidates, their supporters, and their current status, I think the arrogant racist bigot will be the next president. I've heard a lot of people say they'll leave the country if he does become president. I won't leave on that grounds, although I am leaving, but to move to England and spend my life with a truly amazing man. However, while I think leaving over Trump's installation is a bit excessive, I do think it will cause a bit of an uproar and some serious divisions among American citizens. Frankly, I think we need a third party/independent as president, but they never get enough support to even stand a chance. What a shame!

Jill Stein... It will be interesting to see as one new poll even had Johnson and Stein beating Clinton.

I still think everything is up in the air. I hold my breath waiting to see if some October surprise is lurking in the near future. I'm not sure I'm going to vote this time, which would be a first if I don't. The only thing I know for sure is I don't want Hillary to win. I don't want another 4-8 years of the Clintons in the White House. While we don't allow third terms for Presidents in the US, shouldn't 3-4 terms in the same marriage be banned as well?

Yeah, I can relate to that thinking and rather question it myself. If a president is impeached, why let them even back into the White House and Bill Clinton was removed. I don't see the logic in even allowing it to be considered.

This what I see , I see Trump getting the electric college vote and Hillary getting the popular vote
This will make Trump win. Why do I see this ? Because a lot of bernie people are going to vote for third party like gary or Jill,.

There are multiple versions of survey results so it is so unpredictable. Though it wont happen, I hope a miracle will happen and Jill Stein will win out of nowhere. People rather choose the lesser of the 2 evils between Aids and Cancer instead of the cure.

I know some of my friends thought trump was a shill, to get more people behind Clinton. In theory I could see it, but I could not see TRUMP being ok with that. He does stuff to win

Her problem of Pneumonia is due to the next stage of Parkinson disease. Even on the day of the debate also she could not deliver the goods in an impressive manner and yielded to Mr. Donald Trump's remarks. There is no explanation from her when questioned about her private emails. Simply saying 'it is a mistake' will not do in any Presidential Elections.

I'm with you, I'd like to see a president willing to "answer" questions.
