"When the wind's at your back, you run harder" Tim Kaine
Trump, subdued, admitted he might well lose election. Someone sat him down and showed THESE numbers
Addressing a rally in Fletcher, N.C., in the more rural western part of the state, Mr. Trump offered a slightly more restrained version of his typically freewheeling speech, largely seeming to hew to his prepared remarks.
Gone were his complaints of a “rigged” and “stolen” election — which have drawn condemnation by Democrats and Republicans alike — and he did not, as he has recently, try to beat back accusations from 10 women who have come forward to accuse him of inappropriate sexual advances.
Instead, Mr. Trump offered an unusually candid, if still self-congratulatory, assessment of his debate performances — “I think the first one was fine, I think we won, easily, the second one, and the third one was our best,” he said — and acknowledged the possibility that he might not end up in the White House, after all.
The Trump campaign has said that Mr. Trump plans to increase his schedule in the final weeks, potentially holding as many as six rallies a day. Mr. Trump explained that he wanted to have no regrets should he lose.
“I don’t know what kind of shape I’m in, but I’ll be happy, and at least I will have known, win, lose or draw — — and I’m almost sure, if the people come out, we’re going to win — I will be happy with myself,” he said. “I don’t want to think back, ‘If only I did one more rally, I would have won North Carolina by 500 votes instead of losing it by 200 votes.’”.”
Donald Trump Just Admitted That He Is Losing The Election To Hillary Clinton
It was a rare moment of reality for Donald Trump on Friday. As the Republican nominee campaigned in North Carolina, he admitted that he would be happy with himself if he loses the election because he tried hard.

While campaigning in North Carolina, Trump said:
I’m working harder too, folks. I am working harder. I’ve got three stops today. We’ve got three of these today. We’ve got three. You know, I’ve got three on occasion I have four. I think I have one rest day where I have two. But these are massive rallies, and we’re going to do this for another nineteen days right up until the actual vote of November eighth, and then I don’t know what kind of shape I’m in, but I’ll be happy either way. But at least I will have known win, lose, or draw, and I’m almost sure that if the people come out, we’re going to win.
But I will be happy with myself because I always say I don’t want to think back if only I had did one more rally I would have won North Carolina by 500 votes instead of losing it by 200 votes. Right?
Trump’s rhetoric was a far cry from his statements about winning often and winning big. The GOP nominee seems to be admitting that he is losing. Donald Trump’s ego is far too big for him to admit that he is flat out losing the election, but his language is shifting.
What is causing this shift? Somebody must have sat down with Donald and showed him the Electoral College numbers. The simple truth is the race is over in any realistic sense. 272 Electoral College votes are already spoken for, unless the entire polling universe has completely failed to give a somewhat accurate picture of voter preferences.
There is no miracle to be had, those 272 Electoral College votes are secure. The entire battleground race occurs AFTER the initial 272 Electoral College votes are already banked.
So, we are looking at Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada and Iowa.
While Ohio is tight right now (Pollster.com’s aggregate has Ohio as Hillary +2.3%), and the same is true for North Carolina, I think we will win both states.
But, regardless of who wins Ohio or North Carolina, let’s set the record straight here, because I believe some people, who constantly comment in poll diaries that they are very concerned and nervous, don’t know the exact state of the race, and they don’t realize that we actually CAN afford to lose BOTH Ohio and North Carolina and still have a comfortable Electoral College vote win. Maybe looking at the projections for each state gets rid of some of that anxiety, because one thing emerges crystal clear (barring a catastrophic, earthquake-like, event) when you do: WE HAVE 272 Electoral College votes secure. That is the election right there, folks.
