The Press and Pollsters Are Putting Too Much Cornstarch in the Cherry Pie (she's losing)
American Thinker ^ | August 7, 2016 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 08/07/2016 6:30:11 AM PDT by Zakeet

Contrary to most of the media-sponsored polls (The LA Times stands alone now calling the race a tie at last view), I agree with this one: Trump will draw in millions of voters who didn't show up to the polls before and he will beat Hillary Clinton.

I don't pretend to be a polling expert but note others who claim to be have said much the same thing using different statistical methodologies, including Yale Professor Ray Fair (economic models) and Emory University President Alan Abramowitz (presidential approval ratings), Politik.com predicts a landslide, noting in recent years the number of people voting for Democrats has dipped while the number of those voting for Republicans has risen.

Conservative Treehouse has argued along the same lines and notes that the NYT buried its own key finding that American voters are whiter than "historic leftist presentations".

That was not so much selling out her daughter as blatant bribery and money laundering.

” Trump will draw in millions of voters who didn’t show up to the polls before and he will beat Hillary “

It only matter what the voting machines say in the end... And that has nothing to do with the above.

...she can’t produce that kind of enthusiasm.

The conundrum for the left is that they create dependency in order to have a permanent voting base. However, the very qualities they have to cultivate in order to create that dependency include laziness and lack of motivation. Hence, they come up with schemes to register people to vote at times when they already have to do some other necessary function, like getting a driver's license. If these people are too lazy and unmotivated to take the simple steps necessary to register to vote, they are likely to be too lazy and unmotivated to go out and vote.

Piggybacking voter registration on driver's license applications helps to get them registered, and the real significance of that is that it enables the vote fraud machine. If 40% of the registered voters don't show up because they are too lazy, then the election can be decided based on fraud. This is why voter ID is so important, and why liberal judges are busy declaring voter ID laws "unconstitutional" (despite the Supreme Court having already ruled on the issue).

Kaine always looks like he's thinking, "what the hell am I doing here?"

And Hillary always looks tense. Look at her shoulders - they are tense - no neck. Very tense.

They'll show up for free stuff. They are at least that motivated.

Then there is the crony class, the leaders of it, as well as the workers who benefit from the programs.

Then there is pretty much ALL of the government employees. They aren't going to vote themselves out of a job either.

Add in the press to take the soccer moms, bingo.

hilllary has degenerated into a tired old woman lacking the where with all to do the job.

Some folks who are 69 are not burdened with the ravages of age, but Hillary is not one of the group. Hillary has reverted to the reason Social Security age was set at 65 so many years ago

Remember this: When FBI Dir. James Comey failed to do his job as the crime called for.....Comey in one fell swoop placed Hillary R. Clinton above the law.....with out a doubt the most treacherous and dangerous posture for anyone seeking POTUS.

By our Constitution, no one is above the law here in America......We do not have Kings, Queens or Dictators, we elect according to our laws....Hillary Clinton, now ABOVE THE LAW, is not electable.

For decades, I always voted absentee (being in the military and overseas).

In 2012....I was physically in Virginia and decided to go and vote. My station opened at 7AM and I was there at 6:45. The line? There were near 500 people in front of me. I stood in line for almost 60 minutes. Folks were friendly and it wasn’t a bad weather day. But for a lot of folks....they don’t have time to stand around and play this game.

My brother lives in a small rural area of Ala and they open up at 7AM and there’s rarely more than twelve people there. He walks in....votes, and goes onto work.

We got into a discussion one day....over past relatives in Alabama and how the old method of voting was done at the county seat (in the mid-1800s) and you had to ride a horse or mule for four hours to reach there for the vote. There’d typically be whiskey before and after voting, and a long ride home after the event. If you posed this scenario today, of an all-day event, and eight hours on horseback for the whole day....95-percent of people wouldn’t vote.

She is the epitome, the end result, the sum of all things rat, the personification of the American socialist, liberal movement, taken over by an evil bitch who would sell her own daughter for personal gain and power.

An ugly Red Woman.

This is what scares me...the blatant fraud. How can judges strike down voter ID laws when it’s settled law?

As a side note..how disgusting is it to assume a certain segment of society is too stupid to get ID.

what I recall is that Comey laid out the evidence in considerable detail proving her guilt. He then followed orders and announced there would be no criminal referral.

In later testimony he directly and unequivocally testified Hillary lied.

Comey is the Obama/DNC scape goat burdened with the task of removing the chance of indictment. Although he did just that, his other actions indicate to me he is following his orders while clearly indicating there are grounds for prosecution

The question becomes, if he retains his position when trump is president, will he issue the referral to the new Attorney General?

Then there is the whole question of the Clinton Foundation. Why worry about E mails when the larger crime is the Foundation for which a mountain of damning evidence exists in hand?

Just because it’s over, doesn’t mean it’s over

(apology to Yogi)

I don’t know how the use of social media translates to actual votes, but these numbers look pretty good for Donald Trump.

Reddit

Trump: 197,696 subscribers
Hillary: 24,429 subscribers
Hillary for Prison: 55,228 subscribers

Other social media numbers are available at

Hillary Clinton is losing....the media with its unfailing adoration of this lie telling witch has killed her politically. She lies, has no energy, cannot handle more then a couple of campaign rallies per week, is unbalanced and incompetent. However....she is a brillant shining star when compared to the idiot, boring, “DUNCE” she selected to be her VP running mate....Tim Kaine.

As the polls are now showing....Trump has caught up to her “PHONY” poll lead, and will overtake her, within the next week or two!!! The woman should not be running for POTUS. She should be what she is, best suited for “A Crooked, Unbalanced Grandma””!!!

She made a huge strategic error, picking Kaine as her running mate.
Kaine always looks like he's thinking, "what the hell am I doing here?"

But she did it because she's positive that if she loses the battleground state Virginia, she looses the election,
and Terry McAuliffe's thumb on the scale when weighing votes might not be enough to steal that state.

It's a registered voter sample poll, which means it is much closer.

OTOH, in 2012 everyone said Obama could never be reelected based upon his awful record. I believe he won with about twice as many EVs than Romney.
