“Clinton doesn’t have the ability to do it alone,” argued Larry Sabato, a UVA political analyst. “A sizable minority of the Sanders troops have grown to despise her. Sanders will have to back Clinton repeatedly and with enthusiasm.”
Said Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics, “Trump is a wild horse who cannot be tamed. He doesn’t want to be tamed and has the wrong genetic code to be reprogrammed. … The very notion that Trump will become ‘presidential’, whatever that is,” is laughable.

But time was wasted in the transition, says UVA political scientist Sidney Milkis, who is writing a book on the ways presidents form such organizations: “They lost that grassroots momentum.”
(By Kyle Kondik, political analyst at UVA’s Center for Politics) Polls asking voters who they believe will win can be a better predictor of the actual winner than asking who someone will vote for. So perhaps Clinton can take some solace in the fact that while she trailed Trump by two points in an ABC News /Washington Post poll conducted in mid-May, she actually led in the “who do you think will win” question.
“Urbanization has been great for the economies of cities, but not for their traffic,” said Donna Chen, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at UVA’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. “In many cities, gridlock is a way of life.”
