Shock Poll: Donald Trump Beats Hillary Clinton, Shrinks Key Gaps
Breitbart ^ | 5 Sep 2015 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/05/2015 12:30:37 PM PDT by Jim W N

Trump beats Hillary Clinton 45 percent to 40 percent, with 16 percent of voters undecided.

He wins a huge share of the Democrats’ non-white base — 25 percent of African Americans, 31 percent of Hispanics and 41 percent of the relatively small Asian vote.

That’s a heart attack for the GOP establishment, which predicts that the arrival of even more low-wage foreign workers will yield more votes from low-wage Hispanics, and also more donations from the wealthy investors who pay the salaries of GOP consultants, pollsters, and advertising executives.

In contrast, Trump is committing GOP heresy by touting a border wall, some form of repatriation program for millions of American-trained undocumented migrant workers, and new curbs on middle-class outsourcing to the roughly 700,000 guest-workers used by Fortune 500 companies. Trump’s labor-supply reform would likely create jobs for Americans, raise wages, and lower profits, all of which might somehow, possibly, in an impossible-to-imagine-kinda-existential-pocketbook-process, boost his support among the lower-wage, often-jobless Americans who don’t own stock on Wall Street.

I like Trump, but Trump AND MANY OTHERS need to learn that the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND is the CONSTITUTION and federal law IN PURSUANCE of the Constitution. (Art VI, Cl 2, U.S. Constitution). Unconstitutional federal acts and laws are NOT the law of the land but are invalid and should be rejected by the people and the states. (Ninth and Tenth Amendments).

THE CONSTITUTION TRUMPS THE FEDS. THE LAW OF THE LAND IS WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS IT IS, NOT WHAT THE FEDS SAY IT IS.

You don't have to be a constitutional scholar. Just read the Constitution and then read the opinion of the Court. The refuted Incorporation Doctrine is unconstitutional leading the parade of horribles including the more recent unconstitutional federal interference with state anti-abortion and anti-gay-marriage laws.

Trump is teachable and can set the table for VP Cruz to become President and finish the job.

Lord, teach him, I pray, in Jesus name.

Thanks, Jim.

I don’t trust the polls, really. When Rasmussen went to the dark side, I never could recover my trust in any of them.

Sundance has a great thesis at theconservativetreehouse on what’s coming against Clinton and Trump by the Establishment. It isn’t pretty.

I just got on FR, but had not seen that important article posted all morning. Maybe I missed it.

I set myself in agreement with you on that, in Jesus’ Name.

Almost all of whom will not support Trump in the general election. They're merely primary crossovers, nominal Dems who may support Trump in the primary, but will vote their traditional leanings in November, 2016.

Once the Democratic candidate has been selected, these crossover voters will disappear, and so will any advantage Trump has, assuming he is the GOP nominee.

A poll showing any measurable support for Trump among traditional Democrat voting blocs at this point is meaningless at best, fatally misleading at worst.

THE CONSTITUTION TRUMPS THE FEDS. THE LAW OF THE LAND IS WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS IT IS, NOT WHAT THE FEDS SAY IT IS.

The Constitution may say one thing but as far as the police power of the state it means what 5 of the 9 black robed unelected lawyers say it means. It even means things that are not in there that they say are in there. The SCOTUS has way overstepped its authority in the last 100 years.

I'm thinking Trump will do very well with majority voters, black, Hispanics, women...

Most people still have not learned about Trump yet. I'm still learning, there are hundreds of YouTube videos such as documentaries and older interviews that shed additional light on him.

Most people still see Trump as nothing more than a rich celebrity but there is much below the surface.

Speaking as a minority, I know that Trump is going to dominate my demographic. I'm talking 90% of the vote.

When you said that Rusmussen went over to the dark side, did you mean that Rasmussen started being wrong, perhaps to further an agenda? If Rasmussen’s reports are correct, then it is not Rasmussen who has gone over to the dark side, but rather a lot of the people of our country.

Sure, he may do well with minorities, i.e., blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc...during the primaries.

After that, of course, virtually all minority support for Trump will migrate back in time for the general election to its normal November home, the Dems. Except for that from your circle of particularly well-informed friends, of course. 😎.

"How does the stupendous Milton Miteybad know this, " you may be asking yourself. The answer: Milton has been observing and participating in the political process for nearly 50 years. He has seen it all before, and recognizes this well-established pattern of Democratic primary voter behavior vis a vis the polls, as it is occurring.

I'm sure that one or two individual Dem voters out of each 100 may well support Trump in the general election, but certainly not much more than that.

So, I guess he should just drop out now and not bother?

Well conventional wisdom works most of the time but Trump is definitely a force that we have not reckoned with before.

Neil Munro is close... the REAL problem with the political consultant class is they're picking the people who run for political office... Firms are large enough to pick and choose who they'll represent. NOT everyone gets chosen to be represented...(In the old days the party picked... the ups and downs of smoke filled rooms - better incentives than what we have now).+

What works for the professional consultant?

1. a person who looks good on TV...

2. A person who will make large ad buys (consultants earn a percentage of what is spent)

3. Someone who follows directions.

4. A person who will let words and focus group tested 'ideas' substitute for any ideas they originally had.

5. And last but not least - a person who's good at getting massive donations... (to spend on ad buys)

In short consultants are picking shallow, easily led, morally neutral narcissists.

The money train ends if competent people who have accomplished something in life start running for office... Consultants, pollsters, focus groups companies etc... will do what they can to destroy outsiders like Trump, Sanders, Cruz, Carson and Fiorina... They've got a dog in this fight.

Have you noticed the candidates run by consultants are afraid to speak without a TelePrompter and notes telling them what they can say and not say? Consultants could elect a ham sandwich... which is what they're doing ...

I’m in favor of anything and anyone who breaks up the political consultant class and the politically correct intellectual and academic elite.

I love to see these self-satisfied “gurus” flummoxed.
