One thing I have been thinking of is the “enthusiasm gap”. Obviously, one side has it more than the other and it can be seen in turnout at rallies and excitement.
Then there are the polls showing a close race. ?? Maybe people will vote one way but not show it in terms of enthusiasm and turn out. But this is in sharp contrast to the primaries where you saw a lot of turnout and excitement for Trump, Sanders, Carson, Cruz......even Carly. I do think that the polls are under sampling reps to get a desired result.
We will see if this holds up going the next 3 months. My gut tells me it won’t.
A wet, rainy (and loving it) good morning from the beautiful White Mountains of AZ.
Thank you nikos for all your hard work.
Wish we were going to Phx. today instead of tomorrow. (Husband does not like going to valley at all, getting him to go for 4 days for a wedding and family reunion, don’t dare push it. LOL) So will miss seeing Pence in person.
Yum! I want. :-)
I’ll send some over...
I love this!

If you go to Trump’s Twitter page and scroll down the page a bit, there is a short video of Trump visiting the folks in the overflow room last night in Mechanicsburg—it was a yuuuge crowd, almost as big as the main rally, and they greeted him like a rock star. The video is called “The Movement” and it is posted by Dan Scavino,Jr.
I don’t know how to get the video to here to post, but it is so worth watching:

Never had. I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
Well, I don’t know if this is correct, but I think it’s just the math.
From my perspective, Hitlery has an automatic 35 - 40% lead going in, maybe higher. There so much of the population that wants the D’s in power so their handouts will continue. They’d vote for ANYONE, regardless of how corrupt they are, because they’ll get what they want. Between welfare, abortion, illegal immigration, etc., they will vote D no matter what.
If everyone was actually informed and looking at both candidates with open minds, the race would be completely different.
Two things noted:
1 The Donald manages to get a headline in about the weak state of the economy and
2 Who eats Colonel Sanders with a knife and fork?!
I am in line to get in! about 200 people in front of me and 30 behind me. 3 obviously Media trucks. Benghazi Matters t-shirt just walked by along with a woman in a flag motif antebellum gown. TONS OF young adults!
In case one runs into someone screaming Trump can’t give immigrants a religious test, it’s against the Constitution.
Hit them with the truth:
Thanks for the live report. Have fun.
Dunno, but I’m laying in a good supply of popcorn for election night!
Mmmm. Usually make spinach quiche this time of year. Less spinach and more custard but same idea. Better get to work Thanks for the suggestion
I think Trump should outsmart the left by putting a temporary halt to ALL immigration, until:
- the current illegal aliens in the country have been satisfactorily dealt with
- the current legal immigrants have been assimilated, which includes speaking English
- the national debt is on its way to an acceptable and workable level
- the REAL unemployment rate is down to an agreed upon level
- there is a proper and thorough vetting process in place, which guarantees safety and does not drain the coffers.
No country is obliged to bring anyone and everyone in. The healthy state of the country is the first obligation to its citizens. This formula takes the emphasis off of the whole religious aspect. End of story.
LOL!
When I moved to southern DE, I found they eat pizza with a knife and fork.
I’m like WHAT?!!!!
It’s bad form to roll it up and shove it in your mouth point first.
When in Rome..........
I like the unbuttoned shirt—no tie is a good look after two rallies and media interviews all day.
Sounds like a YUGE day for you. Thanks for report(s)
