Identifying and accepting a problem means you are well on your way to correcting it. Unfortunately he has a better chance of reverting to prior form of 49/50 states correct in 2008 and 50/50 in 2012 than continuing being wrong. I despise both but Hillary a tad more...

It's an unprecedented election cycle. If he's offering 5-1 on Trump, I'm buying.
