ONE MONTH AGO TODAY IN THE WASHINGTON POST: There is no possible way Donald Trump’s team actually believes this is their path to 270. “I mean, look. Clinton has a 6.2-point lead in Pennsylvania. She’s up 6.5 points in Wisconsin. She’s up 10 in Michigan. She leads in Colorado by 8 and Virginia by 10. Those are margins that put those states easily out of reach. Put another way, polls do not show Trump close in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Colorado — they show Clinton leading by 6, 7 and 8 points, respectively. Using that map, Clinton has 323 electoral votes, and a victory. Move all of her light blue states into the ‘maybe’ column and she is at 273. She has won.”

Remember this when the same people sound equally certain of what’s going to happen now.

LET’S GO GET CARNITAS AND NOT PAY: Man robs Chipotle, gets only a burrito, Iowa police say.

A man entered the restaurant at about 6:30 p.m. CT Wednesday in suburban Des Moines. He got in line and ordered a burrito, a female cashier told police.

When the man approached the cash register, he said he had a gun in his sweatshirt, opened a bag and demanded the cashier put money in it, according to the report.

The cashier told police she got scared and ran into the back room without giving the suspect any money. The man then grabbed his bagged burrito and ran out the front door, police said.
