US elections 2016: Don't bury the GOP just yet
Here's what happened on the campaign trail the week of Oct. 10.
It's not just Donald Trump who's toast, or so says the Washington crowd.
Democrats are already popping open the champagne and gloating about being on the verge of winning the five seats they need to take over the Senate. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., even boasted to her caucus Oct. 11 that Democrats would have won the 30 seats they need to take back the House if the election had been held that day.
Don't bet on it.
Yes, the avalanche of bad news for Trump, starting with last week's release of a 2005 tape in which he brags about sexually assaulting women, has likely done irreparable harm to his already flailing campaign. Hillary Clinton is up by 6.2 percentage points (48% to 41.8%) in the latest RealClearPolitics polling average.
