This morning on ABC's "Good Morning America," FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver predicted that … Clinton has a 79 percent chance of winning the election, compared with Trump's 20 percent….
Silver said "both candidates have a lot of room to grow," but historically the only candidate to blow a lead like the one Clinton holds now was former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in 1988.
Clinton, though, isn't the Dukakis she was in 2008, and Trump sure as hell is no George H.W. Bush.
I have to slightly disagree with you, PM: Hillary was much, much more on her game in '08 than was the hapless Dukakis in '88. Remember Hillary barely lost in '08. On '88 I would also argue that Dukakis' summer lead was mostly illusory. Also, HW's Lee Atwater ran at the time the sleaziest campaign in modern history - and with not much response from the Dems.
