September 1, 2016 By Taegan Goddard
New York Times: Mr. Trumps course adjustment emerged in an atmosphere of growing urgency and alarm within his campaign. Over the last week, close associates have told both Mr. Trump and members of his family that he is in real danger of losing the race
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, who lobbied in favor of the trip to Mexico, has told Mr. Trump that he must make immediate changes to regain his footing, associates said. And on Monday, Mr. Trumps son Eric met with senior officials at the Republican National Committee in Washington and heard a grim prognosis of his fathers campaign, according to people briefed on the meeting.
Without a major shake-up of the electoral map, strategists indicated to the younger Mr. Trump, his fathers already narrow path to the 270 electoral votes he needs to win could vanish.

whole election turned into a national trumpster fire, burning away all obstacles, maximizing all his advantages, these "paths" indicate he could win. Technically.
But he can't. Not really.

got stuck in traffic trying to cross the GWB.

(5,943 posts)8. I'm not wondering. We know it's gonna happen cause it already has. I guess the real question is
how the election will be finalized/resolved when it is revealed that states were hacked again, like in Arizona and IL? I hope there is a system in place. I mean when the FBI offers their assistance and states say, "Hell, no, we got in under control," I'm not assured of anything but mass chaos.
