After the #StopTrump campaign failed, Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans began to fear the presumptive GOP candidate's momentum, which had been discounted for months. His candidness and lack of a filter represent everything a politician is not, fostering a movement among voters who have given up on the status quo. But according to FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver, Hillary Clinton could easily beat Trump, suggesting his victories may not carry over into the general election.

On Sunday, Silver announced that based on his calculations, Trump has a 25 percent of winning the general election in November. Though Silver's process helped to predict the winner in all 50 states during the 2012 presidential election, the 2016 race has proven to be largely unpredictable. During an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper in September 2015, Silver categorized Trump and former GOP candidate Ben Carson into the same pool, assigning them a five percent likelihood of winning the Republican nomination in July. Silver explained why he believed their chances were so slim, ultimately making Trump's impending nomination that much more fascinating.

Though Silver predicts more marginal general election results than other polling sites and electoral vote maps, he isn't alone in his belief that Trump cannot beat Clinton. Based on the surprises thus far, however, it's unclear whether the 2016 general election will follow any sort of predictable pattern.

It looks good for her.......

1. It is whether the media controls the story.

If they give Trump a disproportionate amount of coverage compared to Clinton then there should be concern.

4. Trump....

Most of the media has been bad to her but if they cant judge for themselves in voting for a guy who has no experience at all would cause the world pain

'Being President Is a Serious Job,' It's Not Like a Joke or TV show and if they cant see it they will feel the pain of it all....and will lose themselves..

Plain and simple Trump does not have the experience to run this country and the world.....

The thing I am scared of is the election being rigged.......by the Tea Party it already happened to us in the past...

2. I like to remind my fellow Hillary supporters

to vote. Ignore polls ignore predictions, go out and vote. Don't get lazy

3. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes

Polls can't account for voter suppression, complacency, and apathy. The last two we can counter directly.

We need to win in large enough margins to ensure that none are a factor.
