1. Trump will pick North Carolina governor Nikki Haley as his running mate - woman, Indian descent, daughter of immigrants, establishment Republican...and North Carolina is a 'battleground state'. (credit goes to the Thom Hartmann show for pointing this out).
2. Trump will lose. Oh, the margin between the polls will get smaller and smaller until about two or three weeks before the election, but then she will begin to pull away.
3. There will be no truly significant third-party candidate.
4. When Trump loses, for some reason I can't fathom him being graceful in defeat. He may surprise me, but I don't see it. I think instead that he'll claim that widespread voter fraud is to blame. If he does, there may be riots by his supporters...and of course he'll deny that he had anything to do with encouraging those riots.
5. This summer, at some point the FBI will bring out the latest on Hillary's e-mails - it will put her in a bad light, but she'll get past it. It won't hurt her level of support much, but it will rally quite a bit of the conservative base by giving them a reason to hate her more than they do Trump.
6. Late-night talk show hosts will have more material than they dreamed possible...at least until the second week of November.
