A month ago, Donald Trump stood seven points back of Hillary Clinton in the polls. Today, an average of recent surveys puts Trump just one point behind; the electoral college is similarly up for grabs. What once seemed impossible — that Trump could win — is now a very real possibility: roughly two in five, according to the oddsmakers. We are staring into the abyss of a Trump presidency, and all that that would represent, for America and the world. Should we blame Trump’s rivals in the Republican nomination race?
