State of Play

Despite Trump rumbles and Clinton stumbles, she’s still the pick to win.

State of Play
Hillary Clinton

The cage match campaign for the White House remains Hillary Clinton’s to lose. Less than 50 days before the election, she seems equal to the task.

A new rash of scary polling for Clinton followed a late-summer series of unforced errors by the Democratic nominee (most asinine: trying to keep secret the fact she had pneumonia ​— ​really, Hillary?).

Combined with the success of Donald Trump’s Campaign Team 3.0 to make him appear mildly sane for periods of up to 48 hours, the new numbers predictably induced a new round of political bed-wetting by Hollywood lefties and other liberal types (“I’m freaked out,” one prominent pro-Hillary producer bawled to the TMZ-lite website The Wrap).
