I guess if Trump gets convicted of fraud in his trail later this month, McMuffin could get elected by the House, but I doubt it.

We'd have the joy of watching multiple state recounts before we even got to that stage.

Zero chance of that happening as its a civil case.

Black Turnout Soft in Early Voting, Boding Ill for Hillary Clinton

African-Americans are failing to vote at the robust levels they did four years ago in several states that could help decide the presidential election, creating a vexing problem for Hillary Clinton as she clings to a deteriorating lead over Donald J. Trump with Election Day just a week away.

As tens of millions of Americans cast ballots in what will be the largest-ever mobilization of early voters in a presidential election, the numbers have started to point toward a slump that many Democrats feared might materialize without the nation's first black president on the ticket.

The reasons for the decline appear to be both political and logistical, with lower voter enthusiasm and newly enacted impediments to voting at play. In North Carolina, where a federal appeals court accused Republicans of an "almost surgical" assault on black turnout and Republican-run election boards curtailed early-voting sites, black turnout is down 16 percent. White turnout, however, is up 15 percent. Democrats are planning an aggressive final push, including a visit by President Obama to the state on Wednesday.

But in Florida, which extended early voting after long lines left some voters waiting for hours in 2012, African-Americans' share of the electorate that has gone to the polls in person so far has decreased, to 15 percent today from 25 percent four years ago.

The problems for Democrats do not end there. In Ohio, which also cut back its early voting, voter participation in the heavily Democratic areas near Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo has been down, though the Clinton campaign said it was encouraged by a busy day on Sunday when African-American churches led voter drives across the state.

Either someone is lying under oath or Trump is a pedophile

A sworn affidavit where Jeffery Epstein's employee recounts Trump getting a double blow job from a 13 and 12-year-old (on page 12).

Either someone is lying under oath or Trump is a pedophile

Someone = "Tiffany Doe" i.e. an anonymous affidavit.  It does not provide specific times, places, circumstances.  And the premise of the case is that the complainant (and witness) remained silent for decades out of fear of retaliation.  But once the perp became a major nominee for the most powerful office in the world, they are no longer afraid?

Thin.

That's at least worth seven Congressional investigations and wild mobs screaming for prison time.

Guardian looked into this a few weeks ago  (link is somewhere in this thread). Apparently the suit is pushed by someone with a history of spurious or questionable claims against celebrities.

Black Turnout Soft in Early Voting, Boding Ill for Hillary Clinton
...
The problems for Democrats do not end there. In Ohio, which also cut back its early voting, voter participation in the heavily Democratic areas near Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo has been down, though the Clinton campaign said it was encouraged by a busy day on Sunday when African-American churches led voter drives across the state.

In better news, the polls had Trump up +1 in Clark County in Nevada, but early voting has the Democrats leading with almost 5,000 votes (out of 36K). In 2012 at this time, the Dems were leading by 4,000.

So while the polls may be going the wrong way in spots there are some pretty good indicators elsewhere... and actual votes > poll numbers.

EDIT: more directly to your point:

Though the state doesn't provide ethnic breakdowns, party officials and liberal groups are bullish -- almost risking overconfidence -- that Latino, Asian-American and Pacific Islander turnout will soar past 2012 levels. That would help make up for the decline in African-American turnout that Democrats are seeing across the nation.

Yeah, it's a shame Obama could not keep a lid on all those juicy news about Clinton. 

Apparently, FBI now "99% sure" as many as five foreign intelligence agencies hacked into Clinton's server. But no, there has never been any problem.
