Any movement at this point is away from Trump and towards Hillary

If for no other reason than the handwriting being on the wall: Hillary is on her way to victory.

The reality stretchers may have been able to craft their "Trump could still win" talking points before the early voting trends emerged. But emerged they have, and what they show is incredible enthusiasm on the part of Dems to get out and vote for Hillary, in some cases surpassing the enthusiasm shown for President Obama in 2012 and even 2008. Minorities - especially Latinos - are coming out in record numbers and voting. Nevada is already but a hair away from being a win for the Ds, fired by a huge Latino turnout.

With the loss of NV, Trump must now run the table on swing states AND flip a solid blue state to win. Both sides know it's over, and the electorate is sensing it as well. That will inspire a % of the undecided electorate to vote for Hillary, for no other reason than they want to vote for the winner.

Now, let's GOTV and win this thing! We have the candidate, the ideas AND the momentum. It's up to us.

and it looks like we are going to pull this off in a big way on Tuesday but please, everyone... Go vote if you haven't already. Bring your friends, your family. Kidnap people and force them to vote... umm -Okay, maybe not that last part. lol

Edit: Just wanted to add. Even if you live in a deep red state and think your vote won't matter, please. Go vote anyways. Every vote really does count!!!

I just do not want to see us get cocky and sit back and think it is in the bag, that is all. =)
