Agreed. It has a feel. No one really wants Hillary. Will they show up for her? I don’t think so.
Link no good-was story removed?
Now Heather needs to thaw out the others at National Review who are frozen in horror at the notion of a Trump win.
I feel the pollsters and pundits will be left scratching their heads in November.
The “sign” that tells me Trump is absolutely feared by his opponents and feared because they believe he can win is this:
I have never seen the media actually become part of a campaign on a 24/7 basis than I’ve seen this year. 95% of media reports are wildly and blatantly biased for Hillary and anti-Trump - it’s amazing. That tells me something, they are pooping in their pants.
Betcha there’s plenty of room at her lunch table in the National Review cafeteria...
A pity this article didn’t appear in National Review before I let my subscription lapsed due to their hysterical editorials on Donald Trump.
That was wordy.
Well, well, well... NR has tried their best to defeat and utterly humiliate Trump and now they are predicting a Trump win.
This is not a normal political party election and Trump is going to win.
Was chatting with a some FReepers awhile back, regarding just this. I was wishy-washy on Trump, they helped sharpen my opinion.
They pointed out that I don't need to *like* the guy, I need to decide if he'll do a good job as president. And, given his track record as a businessman - particularly in how he surrounds himself with good people - I think that he'll do OK. Ergo, he has my vote.
Figure that any Chief Exec, corporate or otherwise, is measured not by what he does personally, but by what's accomplished on his watch. So long as he picks good people to do the work, and delegates to them, he'll be fine.
” I was on CNN five weeks prior to that election and produced outright guffaws and rolled eyes from everyone when I said that the GOP would win not only the Senate but also the House.”
While searching for info to comment I came across a FR post by some guy named “faucetman”
I’ll quote part of it here.
from 2012:
“I first became aware of this poll in 1994. I was watching a roundtable discussion on C Span with a dozen (or more) pollsters. They went down the line asking the pollsters to predict the expected gains for each party. The Democrat pollsters naturally predicted modest gains for Republicans. Republican pollsters naturally predicted larger gains. When they got to Ed Goaz (The Republican half of The Battleground Poll), he said (I don’t remember the exact amount) something like 40 or more House seats. Everyone else on the panel burst into laughter.
As we now know, it was a Republican LANDSLIDE taking control of the House for the first time in 40 years, gaining 54 seats. (8 Senate seats)”

The polls CAN be wrong, especially this year with the absolute hatred toward Trump and the establishment seeing that they could actually lose their power.
Additional reasons why Illary will have a difficult time winning:
1) No one can stand her. Those who vote for her do so for strictly ideological reasons. EVERYONE knows that she is incredibly corrupt and the very definition of a liar. At least Jimmy Carter was (at the time) not hated by everyone (”he’s a nice guy, just incompetent”).
2) Illary is coming after 2 terms of not merely an incompetent President of the same party, but someone viewed as being actively anti-American by a large percentage of the population - and Illary hasn’t criticized Obama at all.
3) The economy just SUCKS, and she’s proposed nothing to get it moving again except more taxes, more regulations and more wealth redistribution. Trump, OTOH, has promised less taxes, less regulations, better trade agreements and an immigration policy both intended to benefit the American worker, and he will remove the chains from the entire energy industry (which will help correct our huge balance of payments deficit and employ hundreds of thousands in very high-paying jobs.
4) Illary is, well, ILL.
5) Trump hasn’t started to advertise in a big way - yet. She’s spent about $200 million and that, combined with her “convention bump” has given her...a lead of a couple of points, at best.
6) Julian Assange isn’t through with her yet.
7) She’s not Black - so a lot fewer Blacks will show up at the polls, and of those that do, she’ll get a lesser percentage.
Agree with the analysis.
I think too that Trump’s overtures to the black community - “what have you got to loose?” will earn dividends on election day.
When it gets right down to it, I think more folks than not will be willing to “take a chance” with Trump - rather than going for the sure-thing nothing-burger, which is HRC.
I still do not understand why people like Ryan or McCain are so popular. The way people vote makes me squirm.
While democrats seem to have a solid support for their message, on the GOP side there seem to be no such sanction for GOPe who wander off message on national security and economy
His sharp use of the language has tempted me to quit drinking.
I would agree with you except for the dim fraud. They just wait to see how many votes Trump gest then find boxes of votes in the trunk of a car. Happened before, will happen again.
I just hope the election is such a blowout for Trump that all the libs heads explode.
