As one person said to me , Republicans know [Donald] Trump is a stain on their party.

A big win for [Hillary] Clinton would allow her to claim that the country rejected Trumpism, while a narrow win leaves her limping into office with the highest unfavorable ratings for any new president.

No one is predicting that the Democrats will get the 30 pickups they need to take back the House majority.

African-American voters are not nearly as enthusiastic about [Hillary] Clinton as they were about [Barack] Obama.

Donald Trump is a candidate who divided his own party more deeply than any presidential candidate has before.

If [Donald] Trump loses narrowly, it will make it much harder for the GOP to unify. Under that scenario, the Trumpists are likely to argue that the election was lost because the Republican establishment failed to rally around the choice their own voters made.

If she Hillary Clinton win just two of the three big battleground states - North Carolina, Florida and Virginia - she will have shut off Trump's path to 270 electoral votes, even if he wins the other toss-up states.
