Closing the gap: Trump's run in the final stretch could catch Clinton

The experts have been saying for weeks that Hillary Clinton holds an edge in the electoral college for president and that Donald Trump will have to pull off a magician's act to win the White House.

We believe he can.

We think that millions of the votes already cast have been, not for the former secretary of state, but for the billionaire businessman and that he stands a chance, not only of winning a good many of the tossup states, but of negating Clinton's lead in some traditionally Democratic ones.

The American people have grown tired of politics as usual and Trump is the only candidate who offers true change. Clinton would bring four more years of Obama-like leadership and that is something the country does not need.

Trump has shown himself to be the type of candidate who says what is on his mind and many people in this country have found that refreshing. Despite his drawbacks, Trump offers a real chance at change in Washington. We hope he gets the chance to rattle a few cages there.
