Donald Trump's faltering campaign and the open warfare it's triggered within his party are bound to hurt other Republican candidates. The question is, how much? Democrats went into this election cycle optimistic about taking back some of the many legislative chambers they lost in 2010 and 2014. Trump's problems give them a real chance.

For a man who built his unlikely political rise on his hardline opposition to immigration, Donald Trump hasn’t talked much about the issue lately—not since a surprise trip to Mexico and a scorching speech in Arizona in late August that put to rest speculation he was “softening” his tone. The issue hardly got a mention in the first two presidential debates, despite Trump's farfetched promise to build a wall along the southern border and to make Mexico pay for it.

THIS ELECTION CYCLE has seen so many terrifying moments—the violent Trump rally in Chicago, the recent firebombing of a Republican field office in North Carolina, the Russian-sponsored hack of the Democratic National Committee.

For all the talk about whether Donald Trump will accept the result of his presidential contest, the coming days may determine if his race against Hillary Clinton is close enough for that to matter.

One question that has emerged out of the presidential campaign in the past 24 hours is—why? Why is Donald Trump futzing around with the fundamental principles of American democracy by refusing to say he’ll accept the results of the election? Why has he been pre-emptively complaining that the vote will be “rigged” weeks before Election Day? What is he trying to accomplish with these statements?
