GOP needs to publicize the Bubba Loretta meeting

TOO bad it is Friday and 4th weekend coming up

MSM will be able to block it out

Agree. All we can do is vote and spread the word of every evil crooked deed the witch has done.

I agree.

The story about needing to discuss grandchildren is beyond stupid. Or if true, it means they are friends. One would not drop in on a stranger or distant acquaintance to chat about grandchildren.

... anything that shows Hillary close to Trump is very suspect to me. The woman has done nothing positive in her entire life.

As if that matters to a large part of the American electorate... which voted to extend a second four years to the historic failure that was and is the Hussein regime.

The poll also finds that 75 percent of Republicans and 14 percent of Democrats support for Trump. The presumptive Democratic nominee has the support of 76 percent of Democrats and 10 percent of Republicans.

And Trump is skunking the skank with Independents.

Well, turns out Mr. Romney is “principled” in his own right, and is showing colors we hadn’t seen in ‘12 at which time perhaps I’d have been more ‘principled’ than to have voted for him.

This poll was probably like most polls these days, over sampled with Dems by 9-12 percent.

For Trump to be close would be amazing. For him to be ahead is astounding.

But let’s keep behaving as if Trump was behind. IOW keep working and VOTE!

If the Hildebeast chooses Faux-cahontas as her running-mate, those numbers will tilt even more in Trump’s favor.

>> Wasn’t Rasmussen constantly predicting that Romney would win too?

I thought the predicted victor was Obama in both elections.

IMHO, that's not really the point. The real point is that despite most of the media, and the DNC, and some of the RNC supporting Hillary, she just can't make headway. The bottom line is that despite everything that has been thrown at him, and his own political inexperience, Trump has persisted, and this is a very close race. This bodes very well for Trump, IMHO.

The other point is that to look at any of these polls, at this point in time, and worry about them or put undo stock in them is just not warranted. If the polling firms were that accurate we wouldn't need to have an election. They're just not. Frankly, I think we are just propping up a dishonest industry when we perseverate on polls. Let the campaigns do their own internal polling.

I also believe in the self-fulfilling prophecy argument. If someone told you candidate x was liked by 70% of the people, and was winning by a big margin, how enthusiastic would you be about voting for their opposition? Polling can be manipulated as propaganda, and often is.

The assumption should be that we are in a basketball game, and there have been lead changes, but whose on top at the end of the fourth quarter is all that matters.

By prediction, I think the poster meant weren’t Rassmussen’s polls showing Romney ahead. Indeed they were.

But don’t let my logic get in the way of your beliefs.

Someone correct me??? Wasn't Rasmussen constantly predicting that Romney would win too?

That's what you say when a poll shows Trump pulling ahead?

Are there ANY Freepers left who aren't paid by the Clinton Foundation?

how does the GOPe get off saying “Never Trump?” Unless they of course mean “Never AMERICAN labor.” “Never REAL borders.”

This poll was conducted among likely Democrat voters.

Don’t be silly. My point was, Rasmussen has been way wrong before, so I’m not jumping for joy here. They are the only poll that shows him pulling ahead, FYI. Every other poll has him behind, and way behind. It’s still too early, but again, IIRC, the CNN/ORC and RCP Avg. were dead on balls accurate last time.

This Rasmussen poll has been completely ignored by all the news outlets, except for Sean Hannity briefly mentioning it to Trump last night on his show. Fox, CNN, PMSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC. Not a one of them have given it a mention. The reason? Trump is leading it and the internals for him are great and terrible for Hillary Clinton. The name of the game is to elect Clinton so good news from polls on Trump will not be mentioned. Real Clear Politics has it posted so it’s a legit poll. The media are asses of the first degree.

Obama has been elected and reelected, please name every positive accomplishment of his. Every one I can think of is already listed below.

Are those the same "principled" repubs who are now NeverTrump?

To a large degree they are - at least as far as the public goes. Many who strongly supported Romney have gone absolutely insane as #NeverTrumpers....we can't trust 90% of our "representatives".
