I think from here on in the Trump campaign will be gaining steam. Lots of info coming out about Hillary according to Newt.

The problem though is that even when info “comes out”, it changes little to nothing.

I like his off-the-cuff speeches better than his teleprompter ones.

I think Newt hit it on the head in his interview with Hannity - - Trump has been in a battle between his IQ and his ego. He probably has known he shouldn’t be going off message and making off-the-cuff remarks that end up getting him in trouble - but his ego reminds him that hey, he’s been doing things this way for a year and it won him 37 primaries, so why change?

By letting the IQ win this week by using the teleprompter, staying focused, and “acting Presidential”, he has now seen that he can do this and draw in more support while still “being Trump”. Kellyanne Conway will be travelling with him and I think she’s the kind of personality who can give him good feedback that will be accepted, just as his family does.

What do you call five polls all moving with a tie/margin of error in less than 10 days?

I d call that quite a bit of something.

Hillary CANNOT visit anywhere without handicap-modified vehicles, handrails, and ramps (instead of steps). Besides, she is sleeping for the next several days, resting up for her next ten-minute speech.

Throughout this very odd election cycle, some pundits have periodically suggested that Trump wasn’t serious in his run for the presidency.


Rubbish. Trump is the only one still standing and fighting to defeat Hillary. The rest cut and run and are AWOL from the battle to defeat Hillary. If Trump goes down, it’s with his boots on. The same can not be said of Cruz and the rest of the AWOL “conservatives”.

“quite a bit of something.” Meaning what?

I also saw Newt tonight and he also said he is confident of a Trump win.

Trump is staying on message and connecting very well.

You’re right on.

The teleprompter has helped him immensely. He’s staying on message and connecting and staying out of trouble. He’s on offense and that’s key to winning.

Dr. Ben Carson and Huckabee and Christie aren’t AWOL and are helping Trump.

First, Trump had to gain the attention of the public.(which is not easy if the media doesn’t like you)

Now that people are listening, he’s putting the meat of his plans into the conversation.

It just makes sense.

I really enjoyed primary Trump, with his high energy “shoot from the hip” style, but this transition to polished Presidential candidate had to happen. Timing is perfect.
