Everyone take a deep breath. Peaks and valleys y'all.

I am notorious for being a worry wart. Given what has happened over the past 72 hours this is definitely a shit storm the Democrats did not need. However, there are still debates to be had and the Dems haven't even really begun the convention. I'm thinking that by the end of the convention things will be back to where they were before the convention. I still say you have to look deeper inside polls than just the number. Polls don't account for ground game and organization. Hillary still has an electoral college advantage and a mix of ways to get to 270 much easier than Trump.

So everyone take a collective deep breath. We will weather this storm. There may be more valleys to come but in the end I am confident that Hillary Clinton will win in November. I just do not believe that the country that elected Barack Obama in 2008 is going to turn around and elect Donald Trump 8 years later. Can he win? Sure. Will he win? I honestly don't believe he will.
