Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

“Trump’s anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going—and whether they think he’ll win,” Axios reported.

    Ugh for the billionth time, he wasn’t wrong. That is not how statistics works. He gave a percentage chance. That’s it. If I say there is a 70% chance Clinton wins, and she loses, that doesn’t mean I was wrong.

      I think he was wrong. I think he underestimated Trump. I don’t think it was 70/30.

        Well good thing statistics aren’t based on “what that one random guy on the internet thinks”

          I mean, at the time he had a lot of inputs for his model and I have almost none, but his are also just what he thinks.

        He had it at 70/30, when the poll/pundit environment was giving Hillary 95% chances.

        He gave much more realistic odds than most any pundit of that cycle.
