WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Dornan quit the nascent Trump campaign in June 2015, reportedly after Trump rebuffed his advice to seek financial support from business executives with whom Trump, a New York real estate mogul and reality-TV star, had dealt.
“Trump is done,” Dornan told Politico. “Barring something completely out of the blue, like Hillary [Clinton] being involved in a murder, I don’t see how he wins.”
Clinton, the Democratic nominee, is leading Trump nationally and in most electoral battleground states, opinion polls released in recent weeks have shown.
According to poll data and analysis website FiveThirtyEight, Clinton has an 85 percent chance of winning the election, with 328 votes in the US Electoral College, compared with only 210 for Trump. A total of 270 electoral votes, which are based on individual voters’ ballots, is needed to win the presidency.
Strategists in both political parties made similar predictions over the weekend.
Former Republican White House adviser Karl Rove said in a Fox television interview Sunday that he expects Trump will lose, while former Barack Obama aide David Axelrod told CBS News that he does not know a strategist on either side who privately believes Trump will win.
