Hillary is not rising, she is the weakest Dem candidate running for the White House, also this is August, people are vacation, the summer Olympics is starting up tonight in Rio, folks right now are not paying attention to politics.
I hope you’re right. The United States will be, in many way, done if Hillary is elected, especially considering she’d probably have a Democratic Senate as well, plus a weakened GOP House with immigration leftist Paul Ryan in charge and eager to help her complete the demographic destruction of conservatism.
But the polls have shifted from where they were two weeks ago, and many here were pointing to them then as if they were of legitimate predictive value. Trump is down, and Hillary has risen. She’s near, at, or above 50% in several of them now. It seems unlikely that the polls were legitimate 2-3 weeks ago, but now they’re garbage. Surely you remember the whole ‘un-skewed’ poll stuff from last time don’t you, when some were the polls were skewed to prop up Obama, but that turned out not to be the case. It sounds like the same thing may be happening again this time.
I hope that it’s bias and people simply not paying attention yet. But to the extent it’s the latter, then once they start paying attention why shouldn’t we expect them to be influenced by the former as some others clearly have been over the last week? The mainstream media isn’t as powerful as it used to be, but the constant, uniform, and maliciously negative coverage of Trump does have an impact on the voting public.
