As the race reaches voting day, mis-steps become more critical and magnified. Part of the massive mis-step that was Palin was being overwhelmed by her gaffs right as election day approached. Had she been introduced earlier, say before the convention as a potential VP candidate, a lot of her terribleness would've been exposed earlier and probably (in my opinion of course) not have been so magnified as it was.
Because we know that Trump is basically immune to gaffs and mis-steps, Clinton will have to play out a perfect string to clinch the election. Any serious mis-step will be magnified by the US media because of how rare it will be.
I am resigned to a Donald Trump presidency. Much like Biden Vs. Palin, Palin picked up support from that debate just by not being as bad as people expected. Trump has nowhere to go but up and that is terrifying.
