Donald Trump is losing this election. Things are going the opposite of well for Trump. The Republican nominee has managed to put solid red states like Utah, Georgia, and Arizona into play. He is getting crushed by double-digits in the Rust Belt states that were deemed essential for his campaign to be successful.

Donald Trump is winning an election in his own imagination, and his one answer to Fox Business revealed a nominee who has left reality behind and is completely delusional.
