You want poll results or actual results?

The 2016 Presidential race is all about Change. Hillary represents more of the same. Trump offers change.

You are dealing with people who say when I see it, I’ll believe it. They are not winners just losers. They will never amount to much.
Trump on the other hand has a bold vision and he creates it. He has done that over and over again throughout his life. That is the mark on a true champion and a winner.
Those stats look great, but I have a question: Real Clear Politics says that there were 28.6 million total votes cast for the democrats during the presidential primaries, but there were only 20.9 million total votes cast for republicans—why do you think that is?
It seems strange that the republicans would have picked up that many new registrations but such a low percentage of turnout (70%+). The democrats had 100%+ turnout according to the numbers you provided. I guess I hoped to see close to the same number of votes cast for dems vs. reps.
I know it’s all about turnout on election day, but those numbers just don’t seem right to me—where do you think the discrepancy lies?
