Hutchinson: Trump can still win despite poll numbers that aren't favorable

[font color=330099]WARNING: Bullshit spin from the governor.[/font]

Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Thursday he thinks Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump can still win the election despite some polls that show him behind Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

"Obviously the poll numbers are not favorable to Mr. Trump today," Hutchinson said in a news conference broadcast from China, where he is on a state visit. "But you want to be careful of predicting how the American voters will ultimately cast their votes on Election Day."

When asked about Trump's assertion that Trump might not accept the election results, Hutchinson said he often does not like the way Trump chooses his words. The governor pointed to the tight race between former President George W. Bush and Al Gore in 2000 and said Bush needed to reserve his right to contest any state with neck-and-neck results.

"In that context, I can understand if it's going to be a close election you don't want to foreclose your options to say, 'This needs to be looked at more closely,'" Hutchinson said.
