Trump Pulls Ahead Of Clinton In US Presidential Race
Israel Hayom ^ | May 19, 2016

Posted on 05/19/2016 5:52:46 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leads Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, according to a new Fox News poll published on Wednesday.

The poll found that Trump holds a 45%-42% edge over Clinton. A month ago, Clinton held a 48%-41%.

Meanwhile, American Jewish businessman and philanthropist Sheldon Adelson is already at work on behalf of Trump after Adelson publicly endorsed Trump last week.

"I'm asking for your support" for Trump, Adelson wrote in an email on Monday to more than 50 Republican Jewish leaders. Adelson told them he had met with Trump recently and is "specifically convinced he will be a tremendous president when it comes to the safety and security of Israel."

There's another insurmountable problem Almost every state where hillary won, there's a large black vote. Blacks have not warmed up to Sanders. If the dems choose Sanders, they risk the already eroding black vote. If they don't choose Sanders, they lose the Sanders supporters because they ignored the voters. So, maybe they have to go with a hillary/Sanders ticket?

This could be the most fun Philly has had since American Bandstand!! It'll be SO MUCH fun when Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and Commies for Sanders (or whatever) party together!!

I think it would take some major blackmail arm-twisting for Sanders to agree to be Hilly's VP. I think she would absolutely hate it too, but if it kept the Dems "ok" with her as the nominee & unindicted, she'd do it. She'd sell her grandkids to Jeffrey Epstein if that was price of the ticket to get her back in the WH. I'd say she'd sell her soul to the Devil, but it appears she's already done that.

Here’s an interesting question for you all. If Trump starts taking a bigger lead in the polls, does that change the minds of the unbound Democratic delegates and they decide to switch to Bernie? You know that Bernie is going to be pounding these new polls on the stump..

If he is this far ahead of clitoon already, they are in trouble. Or are they trying to fool the American people some how?

Usually at this point the Dem has a double lead in the race.

Sometimes I think “conservative” means “dinosaur”, “prehistoric”, or “petrified.”

We need to identify ourselves as lovers of freedom, not lovers of the status quo which “conservative” implies and shows itself in many so-called “conservatives” like George Will and the National Review, the supposed mouthpiece of the founder of the “conservative movement”, William Buckley.

The conservative movement was a mid-wife, as I hope Trump is, to help bring about a rebirth of freedom in America. The issue in America, as it always has been and always will be, is FREEDOM - individual (cutting 80% of the mostly unconstitutional central government), political (reinstating the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land against the feds)), economic (allowing the market economy free of government interference to do what it does best - create wealth and prosperity), and personal (hearts turning back to trusting God and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ).

Trump will need a double-digit advantage going into election night to overcome all the cheating that will be done by the Dems...and the GOPe.

Are you trying to demoralize conservatives with this defeatist talk? If not, how about knocking it off?

I don’t know why, looking at these many bat guano insane-looking pictures of her, I didn’t think ‘cocaine’ before Bill Clinton’s former mistress made the allegation.

The bug-eyed look is from thyroid problem. My mom has thyroid issues. She is elderly. I can tell in about five seconds if her dose needs changing.

She goes from benign retired school marm, to Cruella deVille on acid.

That is what I fear about the hildabeast. She is crazy to begin with. Push in a little stress and a natural chemical imbalance and we have troubles.

Defeatist? Please. It's called reality. Everyone here knows it. And yet...we all find the wherewithal to carry on and pull and pray for the Donald to beat the Shrew like a rented mule.

Or did you forget the sarcasm tag?

I don't believe that vote fraud is that common. If it were the GOP would have lost every election for the last fifty years or more. Where it does happen I don't think it's double digit. It probably can't move the percentage more than one or two points. In a few rotten districts a strong Democrat machine can create a few hundred thousand votes out of thin air, but that requires Democrats be very strong in the area to begin with.

Let's put it this way, I expect Trump to win, but I don't expect him to win Illinois.

Which is why Trump needs to win by double digit as insurance.

It's worse than that. In 2012, Cuyahoga Co. in Ohio had districts where 105% of registered voters voted. Not a single vote for Romney. I consider that the tip of the iceberg.

While the 105% factoid is suspicious, zero votes for Romney in some districts doesn't prove voter fraud. Indeed, it's what you'd expect.

Perhaps, but it doesn’t accord with actual human behavior. There are always contrary people, and illiterate people, and drunks.

No legitimate secret vote ever goes “267-0”.

Ever.

When you have the first black president running against a boring GOP fall guy in an all black district it's about what I'd expect.

Some exit polls showed Obama getting 98% of the black vote. That he occasionally got 100% in hard left wing urban districts is not surprising.

I think the "vast voter fraud conspiracy" is something conservatives like to believe because they're not able to endure the alternative - that America isn't nearly as conservative as they wish.

Let me repeat, I can buy a one point fraud advantage statewide in some states, and in a squeaker that can make a difference. But it's usually not a squeaker.

In no way, statistically or realistically, is that what any reasonable person would expect from such a large sample of voters. And then there is this:
