Clinton's favorability rating trend points to a Trump landslide in November
American Thinker ^ | 5/11/2016 | Sierra Rayne

While Hillary Clinton supporters try to hype the unfavorability ratings of her general election opponent, getting ignored in the liberal maelstrom of deceit is the skyrocketing unfavorability rating of their own presumptive nominee.

The more the general public sees of Clinton, the more they despise her. The Huffington Post favorability rating tracker shows this clearly since Clinton emerged fully into the light during early 2013:

At the start of 2013, Clinton's unfavorability rating was in the low 30s. It has since exploded to about 55%, equal to that of Donald Trump. Some recent polls place it at nearly 60%.

The problem for Clinton is her trend relative to Trump in the context of the amount and type of media attention they have each been receiving over the past year.

Since June of 2015, Trump's favorable/unfavorable ratings are unchanged. No previous presidential candidate in the media age has experienced the level of attacks that Trump has already seen. Despite sustained blistering offensives from across the complete political spectrum -- ranging from the Tea Partiers through the libertarians out to the communists -- the entire mainstream plus alternative media scene was unable to make a negative dent no matter what they said.

And then there is Hillary. In spite of being sheltered and coddled from any serious scrutiny, the public's view of her has soured dramatically, and it keeps getting worse. Once the full general election spotlight is on Clinton, if the historical relationship holds, the unfavorable ratings could climb much higher.

Clinton attacks Trump, and his numbers don't move. Trump doesn't say anything, and Clinton's numbers drop on their own. Trump attacks Clinton, and her numbers drop further. Even some Clinton supporters are surely starting to realize the Democrats backed the wrong candidate for electability in 2016.

Hillary has the same problem as Jeb, where people like her less as they see her. She's not strong enough to beat Trump without being in the public eye. Trump is the reverse. A lot of people who dislike Trump feel that way because of a few (of his many offensive) quotes presented in isolation. The more they see Trump, the more they like him. This general election will be very ugly, but the mud will stick to Hillary and wash off of Trump.

Can we as conservatives, learn anything of value, from watching fraud during these Demorat primaries ??

Why assume that Dem primaries will be clean.

I’d like to see a tagline for Hillary that would influence independent voters, preferably one as similar as possible to Trump’s “Make America Great Again”.

I like “Make America Grim Again”.

Any better ideas?

Hopefully they will vote their conscience and not worry too much about parties. The RNC represent themselves and their own interest, whether Trump is their candidate or not. It is interesting to see that Trump did his best to tear the party apart and now he wants to ‘cobble’ it back together again in his image. Maybe it was a good thing that he exposed the party for what it is. However, anyone that just jumps on someone’s bandwagon because they think that they can stop Hillary should just step in the booth and cast the vote for their candidate, period, based on the principles that the candidate has in common with them. Otherwise, they are just someone’s tool. Having been a tool of the RNC for decades, it took me a while to figure that out. If you want to vote for Trump, that is fine. However, do it because you believe that he represents your values. I wouldn’t worry about what anyone else does - you are not responsible for their actions, only yours. They might not have the same opinion as you.

A person who’s loyalty and support are for Israel before or OVER America.

This would be an issue only if you think Israel and the United States have any serious conflicts of interest.

Which I do not.

When Israel sells our technology to China, I’d call that a conflict of interest.

Él es un hombre, muy jóvenes y muy guapo pero él es muy estúpido porque no habla español. ¡Aye, qué lastima!

Hillary’s speaking voice could be a suitable substitute for waterboarding. Play her speeches nonstop to the Blind Cleric and watch the flow of information it produces.

I have found Scott Adams’ blog quite interesting. Take a read and see what you think. He is predicting a Trump landslide. The blog posts about Trump started last July or August.

I predict that after Trump wraps up the nomination on June 7th you will see the polls start trending in his favor more and more.

Yeah but that “commie Jew” is not a huge Israel supporter. So, there’s that.

This is why Trump should lay low until after she gets the dem nomination. Beating Santa Claus will be more of a challenge than beating The Beast.
