2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPolitico: Trump’s window is closing
With two weeks to go, Donald Trumps path to an Election Night win is almost entirely closed.
Hillary Clinton enters the final 15 days of the race safely ahead in states worth more than 270 electoral votes. Indeed, the suspense of this final stretch is less about whether Trump can turn it around than how many down-ballot Republicans he will drag down with him.
Story Continued Below
Trump is done, said Republican operative Jim Dornan, who advised the New York businessman in the preparatory stages of his campaign last year. Barring something completely out of the blue, like Hillary being involved in a murder, I dont see how he wins.
Short of that, or some sort of Putin Ex Machina, there is little Trump can do to put himself back into contention after five-and-half-months of missteps and missed opportunities.

On the trail, Trump appears to have largely given up on persuading voters in favor of settling score
