well. I got polled last week, and I confirmed I would vote for state republicans, but refused to say I would vote for Trump.
So there is that. But the win last night for McCain was very disheartening.
My head tells me this “hidden vote” for Trump is just wishful thinking but my heart fervently hopes it’s true.
It is wise not to count on some “hidden vote”. Rasmussen has not been a very good pollster recently either.
100% anecdote.
Connecticut Senate Candidate stumping in heavy Dem urban section of his district. Goes to door with Trump sign, and as he is allowed to place his sign next to the Trump sign, four neighbors came outside, all saying how much they like Trump.
Again, completely anecdotal.
I think Trump will clobber her Royal heinous. But I also don’t think I’ll yell it from the hilltops. After McCain and Romney I’m cautious.
Rasmussen was the guy who NAILED Romney’s huge victory in 2012~!! THis is BIG
Am I a coward? Maybe.But the point is that *nobody's* ashamed to admit support for Hillary (although they should be) while at least some are reluctant to admit (but not ashamed of) supporting DJT.
Popular vote, 1964. LBJ 61, Goldwater 38. Just sayin’
I’ve talked to absolutely no one who would vote for Hillary and I talk to people everywhere I go. BTW, I live in a Liberal state.
The new development in CT cities (in the last few years) is the number of women wearing Muslim garb—that has taken a lot of folks by surprise but has not been publicly discussed anywhere (that I have seen).
The only poll that counts is the one on election day. This entire election comes down to 5 cities. Philly, NYC, Cleveland, Miami and Richmond.
Trump needs three of them.
Given that the national union leadership is pretty much out for sHrILLARY, were I a union member receiving a random phone call there would be no way on God’s green erf I would tell them I was a Trump supporter. Who knows if the union was counting heads via a faux poll and I might never work again.
Look at the crowd from last night in WA:
[Popular vote, 1964. LBJ 61, Goldwater 38. Just sayin’]
There were huge factors at work in that election.
From a sympathy vote to LBJ’s consummate abilities as a longtime pol to the scumbag country clubbers in the GOP like Milt’s father.
“...refused to say I would vote for Trump.”
Why?
as long as we keep the seat. He’s the vote getter.
After 2 terms of dim 0 in office historically it is time for a change which is a tidal force hard to buck but you are correct to be cautious. If I had to bet money I would go with Trump but it’s far from a lock.
