Trump supporters starting to worry their guy may lose. Third-party candidates target Utah. State election officials: Too late to remove Trump's name from ballot.
Happy Tuesday. Even the most die-hard Donald Trump supporters are starting to get worried. As Trump bounces from one controversy to another and Hillary Clinton gains in the polls, there is a growing realization among some of his most devoted supporters that he could lose the election. They still hope he will win, as the idea of another President Clinton angers and scares them. They blame the Republican Party for not doing enough to support its nominee, the media for focusing on comments Trump made years ago and Democrats who, they say, rigged the system. But they also place a little blame on Trump.
