A lot can still happen, at the time of this writing Trump has not picked a VP and the official first debate hasn't even happened yet. But I will place my bet for the long odds 10:1 payoff on Trump. Nothing personal or political, just strictly as a bettor on a game.

IMO Hillary's problem is not of weakness, actually far from it and almost the opposite. It's what she would do with power that can turn people away. IE: Statecraft at the highest level always involves dealing with and dealing out lethal force. That said, "We came, we saw, he died, hehehehe" is probably not the best image to convey for a potential leader with access to a large amount of power. (even if the one that got dead'ed was someone like Qadaffi) The thought of someone like Palin anywhere near "The" button was probably enough to sink McCain\Palin. I think that unease is similar with Hillary. Even TheDonald had to walk back some of his "the troops will do whatever I tell them to do" type of rhetoric.
Anyway on to the betting placement, I will place another marker on the 5:1 odds of Sanders being picked as Hillary's VP. HClinton\Sanders for the 2016 dems slot, calling it right here.
Though to be fair, Sanders didn't do to bad and held his own in this debate though.
Ted Cruz's campaign video was also pretty good before he suspended his campaign.

BLR does great coverage work, far better than most mainstream media. :^)
