At least according to Vox.

Donald Trump loves to brag that he's ahead of Hillary Clinton in the polls. "I beat Hillary Clinton in many polls," he repeatedly insisted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/03/the-fox-news-gop-debate-transcript-annotated/) at a debate earlier this month.

Here on planet Earth, that isn't true or even close to true. In 33 general election polls tracked by HuffPost Pollster (http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-trump-vs-clinton) over the past two months, Trump has led Clinton in just one.

Is Trump going to crash and burn? Discuss.

His interview (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/31/how-chris-matthews-tripped-up-donald-trump-on-abortion/)with Chris "thrill up leg" Matthews may have ended his political career. That performance was unbelievable even considering it was totally off the cuff with no preparation.

He is smoking pretty bad. He's nose down and headed for a hell of a wreck.

He's nose down and headed for a hell of a wreck.

I hold that Trump, regardless of his leg-up, would not be where he is today as a businessman unless he was, in fact, a very smart guy.

So is this a payoff to Hillary for whatever (if anything) she gave Trump to Terminally Troll the Republicans?

If so, what will Trump do then?

- Run third party? (There are big problems with that, due to ballot mechanics in some states.)

- Endorse Hillary, with Hillary suddenly, magically, coming out with some strokes (lies, of course) for the "Build-a-Wall" and "Kick-out-the-Muslims" crowd?

- ????

Or will this be balanced out by a Hillary misstep?
