let's not get so excited about the poll numbers. there are still 3 months left, and who knows, he might have some bombshell under his sleeve, perhaps some dirt on clinton, or perhaps he will sober up and start making sense.

if it is 47-38 now, it can easily flip the other way in 3 months.

Nah don't worry Clinton had the presidency bought and paid for since the start.

8/4/2016 11:12:43 PM

Yep. The system is rigged against the rich old white guy.

If you can't see why pissing off mothers across this country is a big deal, then you're really missing something here. While you might think it funny, millions of mothers (and fathers) across this country have had to deal with screaming babies in tough situations. It's not like that mother isn't 110% aware that her screaming baby is an annoyance to everyone, She totally knows it, but God bless her, she's such a fan of this guy, that she braves the crowd with her baby wailing away, only to be mocked by the very person she's supporting.

And my first post? That post was made over 7 months ago. So much has changed since then, but even then I noted that I was not a fan. That hasn't changed. I guess my vote is going to Johnson.

I enjoy posting headline numbers with animated gifs because it makes me giggle when I look at them and I know it annoys the handful openly Republican posters who are still around here. But those nationwide head to head numbers aren't why I think this is already ova.

As I've said for months, it is mathematically impossible for Donald Trump to become President because he has utterly failed at courting the hispanic vote, especially in the states that matter. Take Florida for example, where Romney carried 40% of the Hispanic vote and LOST to Barack Obama in 2012. Trump, by contrast, has consistently polled in the low to mid teens with hispanics in Florida. He will NEVER be President with those numbers and it is beyond late to turn them around.

lol nearly all your posts about Trump over the last year have been either:

1 - I'm no fan of Trump, but [positive point about Trump]
or
2 - I'm not voting for Trump, but [positive point about Trump]

You can disclaimer the stupid away.

8/5/2016 11:29:01 AM

don't put that much faith in the polls - they intentionally changed the way the polls are structured to manipulate the results. The polls are also being skewed with overrepresentation of democrats compared to republicans and independents. The same thing happened in 2012.

I accept rjrumfel's statement he's not currently a trump supporter or fan, despite any possible implications otherwise in the past, without judgement.

8/5/2016 11:31:43 AM

^^ lol are you joking? The unskewed polls nonsense was tripe created by some guy who had literally no statistics or mathematical training to feed his Romney delusions. The fact zerohedge would try to revive this rank idiocy now undermines any credibility they were clinging to.

You gotta figure, the Clinton campaign must be sitting on literal stacks of oppo research that they've yet to cut a single campaign ad with. So far all their anti-Trump stuff has been replaying shit he's said and done over just the past year and a half. This man has been doing despicable shit for longer than most of us have been alive, at some point they are going to open the floodgates.

He'll just blame it on the fire marshal.
