Nate Silver says it's not really time to sweat every little movement in the polls, but the current trend has me very worried indeed.
The question I have for a nation that has seemingly gone insane: Why are so many of you so willing to follow a candidate so obviously vile, even when every new news item about him makes him appear more corrupt, more ignorant, more unfit? Why are Republicans made of Teflon?
And why, given a Democratic candidate who is the most competent, best qualified in recent history, should unfounded allegations have such a dramatic effect in the polls? For some reason, Hillary has to be blemish-free or you won't vote for her, while Il Donald can be covered in slime and you don't notice.
I know the Conservatives will roll their eyes at my explanation, because of their own conviction that the white male point of view is the only one without bias: Hillary Clinton is a woman. A woman must be faultless, must not behave like a man, to gain their approval.
Even so, I wonder that so many Americans are so stupid.
