Watched Pat Caddell on FNC earlier this evening; he said the ABC News/WaPo poll is always the outlier among MSM surveys and noted they have a long history of over-sampling Dims, hence that double-digit lead for Hillary. He also chided Doug Schoen for touting HRC’s lead in the swing states when most of those polls are within the margin of error.
Take any poll you see this year with a huge grain of salt. It’s becoming more and more difficult to develop a realistic model and generate a sample that accurately reflects the modeling.
Additionally, to no one’s real surprise, all of the FNC “political insiders” said the “revolt” movement in the U.S. is much further along than it is in Britain and we know what happened in the U.K. last week.
These CBS polls in FL, NC, CO and WI are the best news Trump has gotten so far. The WI and CO are great news...these all are in play or better. The stage could be set.
I’ve spent alot of time on www.270towin.com and am finding some interesting information. In each of these 4 swing states except NC which he lost in 2012, Obama won each both years, 2008 and 2012. The interesting note is that he lost ground in each state, winning but with a smaller margin from 2008 to 2012. In Fl, AZ, CO, WI, NC, NV, NM, OH, PA, NH, and VA he lost voter % in 2012, in all cases by a considerable amount, even up to 4%. That’s 11 states that Trump can win in that are already giving up Obama/Clinton voters.
The Trump campaign is pushing hard for donations; I love it; just got an email from Paul Manafort and got the text link on my cell to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com, both with big pushes for money. Up until last this past week, Trump has not asked for any money in any organised way. I think we owe it to him for where he has gotten us so far. We are going up against a $2 billion campaign machine, with another $1 billion worth of MSM reporting help.
The odd thing is that while many of the bigger donors have not stepped up yet or are finding excuses not to, once they see that we can deliver a serious punch up in dollars, they will jump on the bandwagon. Better late than never!
Imagine if Team Trump can find a way for 15 million supporters to donate an average of $50.00 each. That’s $750,000,000.00!! It’s not that his supporters have given that much through the primaries and to date in the general; maybe $20-25 million total from small donors. Bernie Sanders raised over $185 million from small donors. It should not be a stretch for us to get to $200-250 million or more.
My wife and me just started to go through our garage and storage closets to find items we don’t need and we are going to put them all on Craigslist. We already have enough small items that we will never use to easily sell for $150.00 or more over the next 2 weeks. That would put us over $300 donated so far.
And we have decided to volunteer in Florida to work the phones. We live on a tight budget for sure, and I’m guessing many of you are in a better financial position to match what we are doing. If not then do what you can. If you haven’t donated yet, now is the time! If you think this election will be close, then let’s put Trump over the top. If you think he will win, let’s make it a big victory, so he can pummel the Rino’s in DC.
Let’s do this !!!
Very good points. Thank you.
