Of course, next week's Democratic Convention will make Hilary look as 'unbeatable' as they're saying Trump is this week.

A certain group feel certain that Donald Trump won't win because he presents nothing to vote FOR - only things to vote against. He makes foolish statements, he changes his answers and attitudes almost by the hour, and he is very thin skinned and easily offended - not good traits for a president. He seems unknowledgable of world affairs and doesn't seem to want to consult anyone to get any smarter on them; he appears to feel that his instincts will suffice to handle all such matters, domestic and international. And from his speech on Thursday night at the RNC, he appears to be a fear monger, just scaring people and getting them to vote for him on an emotional basis, rather than an intelligent one.

Another group - the Trump supporters and probable voters - are very frustrated, angered, and despairing. They feel that the nature of the American government and presidency have acted against them, and that they have no recourse. They feel that terrorism committed both in the US and on foreign soil is an epidemic that is worsening, and that they are not safe in their own homes. They feel that crime is on a rise, jobs are on a decline, and their lives are not protected by the government. Donald Trump has stated that he is not a politician and will not follow the path of "business as usual"; that he understands the plight of the common man, he understands the nature of economics, and that he is dedicated to using his knowledge and experience to make things safer, reliable, and successful for them.

I personally think that Mr. Trump is just talking a good game and cannot (or will not) back it up - but a LOT of people are looking for some kind, any kind, of reassurance, and he's offering it. There are people who respond well to the emotional persuasion, and who don't invest the time to do cold, hard, critical thinking. Right or wrong, these are the people who will vote for Donald Trump, and it is becoming a concern that Clinton supporters will either ignore this, or will take for granted that Clinton is a shoo-in to all "right thinking people."

Of course, there's much more to it than this simple analysis, but that's how I feel it is at a basic level. Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

I can certainly understand emotions taking over logic. Way of the political world at times.
