10/ Last thing and then I'll stop. Trump is actually *underperforming a generic R. Why? White college ed women are unusually Dem this year.

9/ In fact, if Clinton really is up by 5 points, she is where Obama was vs Romney. There is no scenario where any D or R would be up 30 pts.

8/ Bottom line: the days of Reagan, LBJ and Nixon landslides are over. U.S. elections are just gonna be close.

7/ 2012 was a smaller Obama landslide: 332-206 in the EC and a 5 million vote margin out of 126 million votes. But whites chose Romney 51/44

6/ Obama v McCain (post code red Bush economic MELTDOWN) was 365-173 in the EC and a 10 million vote spread... out of 130 Million votes.

6/ Put another way: Barack Obama won in 2008 and again 2012 by electoral landslides, but it was still 53/46 and 51/47 respectively.

5/ Which is that Trump is basically correct that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and barely lose support.

3/ ANY Republican and ANY Democrat will reach 40-45 percent even if one of them is named D. Antichrist. Because partisanship+racial voting.

2/ There are more women than men but most white women (who are more numerous than non) are Republicans while most non-white women are Dems.

2/ The U.S. electorate is both closely divided and HIGHLY partisan, along racial lines. There are more Ds than Rs but more whites than non.

1/ By the by, can people on TV please stop saying "if so and so were running vs Trump or Hillary they'd have a 30-point lead?" It's malarky.
