With a lackluster GOP convention and a very successful Democratic convention, and the events of the last week with the Khan family - it now appears that Trump is in free fall and will most assuredly crash and burn. CNN has Clinton up 9 points - but more importantly at 52% support. Anybody who knows anything about polling will tell you that once you hit 50%, the other side has a really tough job because now its much more than fighting for undecideds - its taking away already declared supporters.
Morning Joe - led by former Republican House member Joe Scarborough who is also a Trump friend - spent the first 30 minutes of this mornings show discussing a topic I have rarely heard in presidential politics... IS DONALD TRUMP CRAZY? When that becomes the topic, you know you are neck deep in thick mud.
With a Clinton victory will most likely come with a Senate changing hands to Democratic control and a loss of GOP margin in the House should they retain control which is probably barring an all out Clinton landslide.
So what will the right do when they get a new liberal Supreme Court which threatens to upend all their favorable decisions of the last decade including Citizens United and Heller?
Will they continue to fight the political election battles girding up for 2018 to take the Senate back or will some embark on underground crusades taking them further and further away from the mainstream to the dangerous road of extremism to vent their frustrations?
Its going to be very very interesting.
One would think the Republicans would finally get it that they need to run more moderate candidates for the presidency in order to appeal to a broader swath of the electorate, but they won't. They will think the answer is to just get crazier.
With a lackluster GOP convention and a very successful Democratic convention
Current polling suggests that the DNC was more successful than the RNC this year. The present controversy over the Khan family and Trump is a damaging spin off of the DNC for the Republican candidate.To be fair, I don't think this is accurate at all.

Absolutely, the Democrats could still lose this election. But Donald Trump's mouth and razor thin skin are wonderful allies.DNC got a bump due to be AFTER the RNC.
Yes - Trump is shooting his mouth off too much.
Give it time. Dems have proven they can screw the pooch just as well as the Reps.

It was predictable though. In fact, nothing was more predictable than the fact that Trump would alienate all but the most idiotic members of the voting public.
I don't think so. I think the GOP is waiting for Trump to fail. They have to go with him, they'll probably try to change their primaries perhaps to give the party a bit more control. But I don't think the GOP really wants to be running Trump, they're just stuck with him. But they cannot bring in third parties or anything, they could sabotage their own power base if so.
So instead they will grin and bear it, wait till Trump loses, and regroup. They are going to invest their time and money on Senate and House seats instead. And unlike the OP, I don't think Congress is going to swap. In fact, I think Hillary is such a polarizing, and divisive candidate that while people may hold their nose and vote for her (because they don't understand about voting proper candidates from 3rd parties when the main party puts up crap), they won't vote to give the Dems control of both the White House and Congress with her as President.
So I would expect to see Congress stay very close to what it is now, the GOP maybe picking up a seat or two.
Now as it relates then to the SCOTUS picks...they'll play obstructionist for as long as they can and force some more moderate judge choices to come through. Hillary will have to do an exceptional job as President and the Dems really pull together hard to gain seats during her reign. If they do, they can get more liberal judges through. But if the GOP maintains some amount of control in Congress, she'll have to elect more moderate judges to get them through.

'When'? The race / election has not been run. 'If' would be more appropriate.
If there's anything that you should have noticed already, is that this is going to be the most unpredictable election in history.
I will note that I'm rather disgusted at those that HOPE for a completely leftist hold on the senate, congress, POTUS, AND SCOTUS. It smacks of not only partisan hackery but a blatant disregard for our Constitution and our way of life. They know that they cannot go through proper channels of getting the Constitution Amended (because they cannot get the 2/3rd vote requirement) so instead are going to rely on biased judges to uphold unconstitutional law and strike down law that they do not favor. It's down right sickening and everyone of you (general "you" aimed at JUST those across the country that advocate for this kind of crap) all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Winning the White House and Congress and appointing SC justices to change the direction of the Court is indeed going through proper channels.
