Out of the entire US...to dig up people who are disgruntled against both Hillary and Trump....I doubt if the grand total exceeds 500,000 votes...nation-wide.
No...he’s going to tank when everyone forgot to tell them that they have to pay for the wall! (lol)
How difficult is it to be considered a prognostic genius when you continually shift your projections...of course each time treating them as iron clad.
A 5 point swing towards Trump in 1 week is huge.
Bingo. Trump is addressing entitlements in the vein of illegal immigration. Lots of US citizens who are on welfare or food stamps can support that while rationalizing in their own minds that entitlements don’t apply to them now.
Concise. And agreed. May the libertarians remain the party of the Alt-GOP-E. It keeps them from making trouble in primaries.
Not just that, but this is after a nearly $100 million ad blitz by her thighness and constant media attacks. Trump hasn't even begun to advertise and he is already ahead or in statistical ties in every poll. Once he actually starts the full on media blitz and really starts hammering the Dems he should start pulling away.
Most pollsters say that Johnson is pulling votes from Hillary, not Trump. Johnson could very well play the same role that Nader did in 2000, siphoning just enough votes to deny Hillary the presidency.
That assumes, of course, that Trump remains on his current trajectory, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t. Trump is running a very focused and disciplined campaign right now while Hillary naps and tries to run out the clock. The trips to Louisiana and Mexico were smart moves; caught the Dims flat-footed and they have no reply. Likewise, the immigration speech last night answered any questions about a “flip-flop” on that issue and I believe it will bring more voters to Trump.
Kellyanne Conway was a very, very good hire. Still concerned about a lack of a ground game in key states. Trump has to get the election outside the MOF (Margin of Fraud).
Wait til next week’s polls come out. Trump is on a roll.
I am hoping Johnson runs well enough in NM to tip that state to Trump, but it is just wishful thinking considering Mrs. Bill’s popularity in Albuquerque.
Allowing for the few hundred votes in FL in 2000, it’s pretty much impossible to win the popular vote and lose the election. I don’t think any Republican has done this-—have to go back to a couple of 1800s elections.
Especially when you consider the big 3 population states-—CA, IL, NY-—it makes it statistically impossible for a Republican to win the popular vote and lose the rest.
When the truth comes out that Gary Johnson is the GOLDMAN SACHS diversion GOPe candidate, Trump’s numbers will become unbeatable.
Our path to helping take our country back from the globalist enemies at the gate is to expose those within our own party who are trying to throw the election to Hillary. Exposing Johnson as a Wall Street, GOPe ringer & exposing the ‘conservative’ talkshow hosts that work for George Soros & Warren Buffet money is our job.
Day after day, week after week Glenn Beck and Mark Levin come on the radio and do everything they can to disparage Donald Trump............(may their ratings be heard flushing down the toilet)
I disagree. The Rasmussen survey stated that of Republican voters, 8% favored Johnson, while only 2% of Democrats favored Stein. I think that a lot of NeverTrumpers are parked with Johnson. When election day comes, 80-90% are going to vote for Trump. Johnson will get 2% max.
Johnson is what I would call a “John Lindsay” Republican.
Man, yesterday and I heard it today some, all day, Gary Johnson ads were on the radio. Have others heard this? Anyway, no way am I voting Liberaltarian. Just commenting on Johnson’s 7%, that’s half of what he needs to get into the debates which everyone, well, GOP-e, has been playing up.
Correct, before Bush defeated Gore in 2000, the previous time a candidate won the electoral vote and lost the popular vote was Benjamin Harrison (a Republican) who defeated Grover Cleveland in 1888.
Johnson ads run continuously on the radio in Seattle. A lot of the liberal crowd in Seattle likes him. It’d be great if he split the Clinton vote in King County.
