Trump can give a speech anywhere in the country, as in right in the middle of the most liberal part of NYC and still draw 20,000 people. Clinton would be hard pressed to have a 100 show up to hear her cough and cackle. Trump’s massive crowds is the silent majority and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Trumps best chance to win is to push Hillarys negatives up higher than his.

He probably can’t beat her 49 - 47, but he can beat her 43 - 41.

30 million voter turnout for Republicans in primary this year correlates to a BIG win in November !!! Democrats primary numbers were WAY down. Bank on it Trump will win even if a small percent of Cruz supporters take a dive.

Trump’s supporters will vote on Election Day, if not before. (We can vote 30 days before the general, and I intend to vote on Day 1).

In truth, Hillary has few supporters. Many of those who say they will vote for her, will not vote at all.

That is the election, plain and simple.

Dam straight!

In today's sophisticated techno world you can't doubt those polls.

Look how they got out front and predicted that whole Brexit thing.

Any polls that show Trump and HILLARY neck and neck are demonstrably bogus just based on the sheer number of people that attend their rallies.

Yep, elections are about turnout. Primary this year Republicans had huge increase, Democrats huge down turn. This translates to a big win for Trump in November. Bank it.

“”In real life Trump is ahead by 10 to 15 percentage points...and he really hasn’t started yet.””

You bet. Trump in a landslide...

The big question for this election is this - how many people are going to secretly vote for Trump, but will never admit it in public or to a pollster?

Besides that, the undecideds tend to break for the perceived challenger in the end. Who is more of a challenger, Clinton or Trump?

Previous polls had Clinton and Trump in the 40s...sometimes with 47% and 48%. Now they are in the 30s. The pollsters are feeling the crticism.

The reality is that many people are undecided.
Some undecided are never Hillary but don’t know if they can go from Trump.
Some undecided are never Trump but don’t know if they can go for Hillary.
Some are truly undecided.

From now to the first day of voting in October the fight is for these undecided.

Yes, can you believe that the voting is only 7 weeks away?

Personally I don’t believe any of these polls. I’m going by the number of people that attend their rallies and it’s not even close. So unless a poll reflects that, it’s worth nothing. But still I’d believe an online poll before anything that comes out of the LSM and the polling companies they employ.

Now just this afternoon, as I sit here in the unending heat with an attitude....Fox news announces seventy five bazillion polls that show Trump down by a million.

Down by eleven points, supposedly, in Florida.

And yet there are thousands attending all Trump rallys while Hillary has to photoshop her events.

No, hon, we are not “legions of Freepers screaming the sky is falling for Trump”.

But Hillary Clinton is a very sick woman. She is married to a pervert who she stood up for over and over. It was supposed to be hers in 2008 but Obama came along.

Now I think she and Clinton cronies are having people murdered.

We are also the people who voted, with kind hearts and good souls, for McCain, for Romney....once I even voted for Dole.

I hope Hillary loses but she’s got a steel spine for what she believes is rightfully hers. Which is the presidency of the U.S.

So finding one poll of the eleventy million we keep hearing out here in la la land proves nothing although I hope you are right.

But ridiculing a group of people for being wary from smites from the past accomplishes nothing.
