The one place where Hillary Clinton struggles with numbers
RT ^ | August 24, 2016

Big crowds are just not a thing for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, her critics note. Republican Donald Trump’s rallies draw far more people, as did Bernie Sanders’. Yet the polls still show Clinton the favorite to win the White House.

“Clinton’s chance of winning is more than 95 percent,” Reuters proclaimed Wednesday, citing a weekly Ipsos poll of 15,000 Americans and giving the Democrat a victory margin of anywhere from 90 to 108 votes in the Electoral College....

Well then you should understand that Trump doesn’t really need all of those. He just needs PA or MI.

Her body count, I’d assume. Hmmm, was that 89 or 90?

The only need we hear about Hillary how corrupt she is and she fraws flies to her gatherings yet we are to believe she is pulling away? Really? Go away.

“This is going to be 2000 all over again.”

Exactly. And I’m hoping against HOPE that Trump and his phalanx of lawyers count and re-count and re-count again, every d@mn vote cast!

THAT cartoon is TERRIFYING and all too CLOSE to the TRUTH!

Maybe, ‘someone’ should write a novel about this EXACT scenario? ;)

holy crap. these are estimates based upon turnouts. They have a program that does “what ifs”.
and they are presenting this “what if” as gospel.

“Unless he can flip some East Coast, West Coast, or northern Midwest states, it will be difficult to Trump to get needed 270 votes.”

This is an entirely different election than any before it, and the conditions that exist currently are quite unique. Anything can happen, including shifts of states no one thinks are in play. Bank on it. There will be surprises. This race is entirely winnable, without question.

Every single demographic that democrats count are also in play for significant shifts, including minorities, and women - because Hillary, the Clintons, and the democrats are now vulnerable on issues that are central to these demographics.

For example, black unemployment, inner city violence, and a now long history of the black community voting for democrats - only to see perpetuation of all the same problems, are disappointments that are at an all-time saturation point. The Clintons were already mistrusted by the black community during the 2008 election, and now it has come to light just how much money the Clintons have personally made, and the huge amounts of cash that have come into the Clinton Foundation, all while people of color in Haiti were were being stiffed and not benefitting from charitable donations solicited for them. This is but one example, and Trump will use these are multiple other facts to appeal for the votes of the black community, and he will have some success. Combine this with a track record of actually creating things instead of being just a politician, and you have inroads for Republicans amongst voters who are tired of promises that are never fulfilled.

Just today the issue of Huma being an editor on her mother's pro-Islamic ‘newspaper’ for 10 years running - a publication in which her mother wrote in favor of Islamic subjugation of women, came to light. This hypocrisy, along with Hillary's willingness to throw 'inconvenient' women under the bus (or much worse) to save her and her husbands political careers, are just a few examples of very real and very resonating issues that Trump can and will use in his appeal for more women voters. One can go on and on. The opportunity is there, and naysayers should try optimism - because it's warranted.

I knew someone who made a presentation to a major player in avionics during the 2nd oil crisis. I was quite fond of the slide with the econometric analyses all over creation, based on not fewer than 5 different assumptions and results.

I happened to sit in back of the ‘player’ and noticed he was very pointed in his questions to the presenter.

That slide was a hot mess and was, by nature, inaccurate.

That’s the problem with econometrics or other forms of analyses that use the past to predict the future during a present of great variance. IT DOESN’T WORK.

I should have added that I posted that story because it is critical to all globalists and their lackeys to make sure we know we are licked and we’d better act like it. Whatever publication, method, poll, pol, priest or radiohead is needed to pound the idea into our heads that WE HAVE NO CHANCE is what they’ll produce. And we’d better like it, right?

Vote like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Even your dog’s or cat’s life just might.

What all this means is inner cities will see voting upwards of 125%. That will warrant an investigation.

Of course it will warrant an investigation, but the investigation will never be carried out by the cowardly GOP. They will let the fraudulent results stand.

The Republicans have a long history of caving to the Dems when it comes to vote tallying.

The Dems declare absolute victory when their candidate is ahead by the tiniest of margins, and if the Republican is ahead, they never give up with the recounts until their guy is declared the winner. Then they demand a stop to the recounting. Remember how Al Franken was "elected"?

The truth is, nobody likes Hillary and nobody is excited about Hillary.

It’s one thing to tell a pollster you’ll vote for her; quite another to get yourself to the polling place and stand in line for two hours. Remember, Republican registrations are way up—expect extremely long lines.

By contrast, Trump supporters will gladly crawl over cut glass to get to the polls.

IMO, a significant percentage of voters who are telling pollsters they’re supporting Hillary will not make it to the polls.

And don’t forget the heavy pro dem factor weighting in the major polls.

That is as it stands now. However, just a month a ago, we were winning those states.
