They said the same thing about the Navy base - that the AFBs would get shut down first. It went the way it went because shutting down the Navy base was the most painful. That was by design

I think you're probably right but three of the past four polls reported at Real Clear Politics right now have the race as too close to call in statistical terms including the last one which has Trump favored by 4 percentage points among respondents and a 4.5 percentage point margin of error for an individual estimate (4 way race). As I've written before a 4.5 percent margin of error for an individual estimate means something like a 7 to 9 percentage point margin of error for the difference between the two candidates. If the election were held tomorrow and Clinton won South Carolina that outcome would not be outside of the reasonable range of outcomes suggested by that poll.

Now, if you want a State where it's REALLY clear that Trump is going to win it's the one I'm in. The latest poll up for Louisiana has Trump with a 10 point margin among respondents with a 3.3 percentage point margin of error for an individual estimate.

Clinton is not going to carry SC. It will not be close.

I think you're almost certainly right about her not carrying it. But I'm no sure about the close part. I guess part of it depends on what one thinks of as close. Here is what is available at RCP right now:

Image

It's a 7.6 point average but there's an obvious outlier. Three of the four polls, including the latest one, are "statistical ties." I would not be at all surprised to see Trump win it by 5 or fewer percentage points. Again, I wouldn't be surprised to see him win by more than that either. But it's not like Louisiana is right now.

Just some additional comments on those South Carolina polls: The poll that shows Trump up 15, Trafalgar Group, is by a Republican entity and is also the lowest rated of the three polls that are rated at 538 with a C grade.

PPP is a Democratic entity, but is somewhat higher rated than Trafalgar at B+. Gravis is graded B- and as far as I can tell 538 has not graded Winthrop. But I looked at the methodology at http://www.winthrop.edu/winthroppoll/de ... px?id=9802 and it looks good to me.

While I don't dismiss the possibility that the Trafalgar Group poll could be closer to right and the other three closer to wrong, if I had to bet I'd bet it's the other way around and that the race in South Carolina is pretty close. By "close" I mean less than 5 percentage points.

I think Louisiana where I live has something on the order of a 10 to 15 percentage point edge for Trump. Limited information but I think it's reasonable to believe it's in that area. If I was in South Carolina I'd definitely vote for Clinton because I'd think there is some small possibility there could be a surprise. Some small possibility that who I voted for could make a difference. In Louisiana that's not the case. Problem is I can't bring myself to vote for Johnson for various reasons, some of which should be obvious, and I CERTAINLY can't vote for Stein. Maybe that Evan guy will be on the ballot.

The South Carolina polling results again for reference:

Agreed, not sure why he feels the need to waste precious paragraphs on something that won't happen. Hasn't Trump lied between now and when he first posted on this? Need to get on that!

Any poll that shows Clinton close to Trump in SC is an indicator of just one thing-

Doesn't matter in Texas, it'll go to Trump. This is a state dumb enough to think Cruz is a good politician so they have a history of voting for head cases. I always vote, so I guess old Gary will get mine this go around.
