Is poll-leading Hillary Clinton the Ghost Candidate? (can't draw crowds or sell merchandise)
American Thinker ^ | October 18, 2016 | Joseph Smith

Posted on 10/18/2016 4:16:52 AM PDT by NYer

Hillary Clinton is all but measuring the drapes for the Oval Office, but some things in this campaign don't add up:

Trump supporter Wayne Allen Root paints Hillary Clinton as the political equivalent of the "ghost cities" of China that no one lives in:

This reminds me of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. She exists, but are there any real people behind her? Are you certain anyone is voting for her?

While Trump rallies are "once-in-a-lifetime experiences ... like Woodstock for working-class conservatives," Hillary is lucky to draw 200 people.

No one buys Hillary's books or campaign gear, either.  Root tells of a friend who found only Hillary gear at the airport gift shop and, on inquiring, was told that the Trump hats and shirts that come in twice a week are sold out "within hours."

Hillary's gear? They can't give it away.

... This doesn't appear odd to you? Hillary is leading in the polls, but no one attends her rallies, no one buys her books and no one buys her merchandise[.] ... She is a candidate whose own supporters don't like her.

... Hillary is the "Ghost Candidate."

V.P. candidate Tim Kaine is equally uninspiring, drawing just fifty people to a rally last Friday in Miami.  Mr. Kaine spoke from the back of a pickup truck with a street-art poster for a back drop, and the estimate of fifty attendees appears to include organizers, a few photographers, and at least two children well under voting age.

Yet Mr. Kaine may be one dizzy spell from the Oval Office.

If Hillary wins, she may entering the Oval Office as the most unpopular President ever to do so on her first day. They may have an Inauguration and Inaugural balls where the only attendees are her Lap Dog Media people.

There will be 140% of eligible voters in Demonicrat-controlled precincts and wherever Soros’ voting machines are used, with >99% of the votes for Hillary. And the state election boards, whether GOP or Demonicrat, will all sign off on the results.

I live out in the Shenandoah. I see a few Felonia von Pantsuit signs, all on the edge of large country estates. I see more Trump signs, although they tend to disappear within a day or two of going up, unless they’re VERY close to the house.

But all in all, I hardly see ANY signs up anymore. A small number for the RINO seeking election (Comstock) and none for her Dem opponent (Bennet)

Here in Orlando, I only see signs for Trump Pence on people’s lawns. They vastly outnumber the signs I see for Hillary. Interesting note about the Hillary signs — I never see them on people’s yards — just in the empty public spaces. Even then, Trump outnumbers her 6 - 1.

Driving to Tampa along the I-4 corridor this weekend, lots of Trump signs, including a large digital bilboard saying “Deplorables for Trump”. I went to a party this weekend in the very hipster area of Seminole Heights in Tampa — ONE Hillary sign. Maybe a Bernie bumper sticker or two.

But in Florida, I don’t see the excitement for Sh*tlary that I did for Obama in ‘08 and ‘12.

Just an observation.

I was traveling a lot last week and saw perhaps 20 Trump signs and one lonely Hillary sign.

I suspect that the rigged polls that over-sample dems and purposely over-sample single vs married women and also over-sample college educated white males is the answer for the screwy polling.

If they did not over-sample any group I bet Trump is up at least 8 and perhaps double-digits.

If Trump pulls ahead even with their goofy polling samples they will next move to a registered voter poll taken of LGBT college educated males and college-educated single females with 5% sample of college educated independents...lol

The fact that the college educated lean left is due to all the indoctrination they received..it does NOT reflect greater intellect.

My theory about this, and I’ve expressed it before on other threads, is that the election could rest in the hands of a growing proportion of the electorate many refer to, crudely but accurately, as the free s*** vote.

One of the prime characteristics of this voting bloc is apathy regarding the charisma or policies of the candidate. Just so long as said candidate promises a continuing supply of free s***, they’ll get elected.

This phenomenon has been in operation since FDR and has become a growing factor in elections ever since. That’s why Romney got into trouble for his 47% remark in 2012. It was too true to make people comfortable.

Free s*** voters are not gonna be bothered to show outward signs of candidate enthusiasm. If they do, it’s just icing on the cake. If they don’t, is doesn’t mean squat.

She doesn’t need signs——the Clintons have all the votes they need...thanks to voter fraud AND a lot of help from Obama.

BACKSTORY-—Obama and Congressional Democrats——w/ then-AG Eric Holder——gave NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN), and blood-thirsty La Raza a huge funding source for 2016 voter fraud......our tax dollars. The colluders extorted banks thru DOJ litigation/bank settlements——and the loot went to nefarious liberal organizations known for voter fraud schemes.

<><> Obama/Holder/Dems extorted banks via DOJ litigation/bank settlements——into paying off these nefarious organizations. <><>

DOJ went after CitiCorp and ordered them to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America.

For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.


House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the ACORN clone and the blood-thirsty LaRaza——rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime. The administration of course declined to answer.

Here’s part of the Congressmen’s letter to Holder: “It seems that the alleged victims are not the primary beneficiaries of these multi-billion dollar settlements.

Instead, the terms in the Justice Department’s two latest settlements look less like consumer relief and more like a scheme to funnel money to politically favored special interest groups.”

“This makes donations to activist groups far more attractive to banks than providing direct relief to injured consumers. As a result, the settlements appear to serve as a vehicle for funding activist groups rather than as a means of securing relief for consumers actually harmed.”


So now, with tons of money to fix the presidential election, the largest and most successful voter fraud campaign may alter the course of the elections not to mention the future of the United States.

NO WONDER HILLARY KEEPS SMILING.

Have noticed the same thing too! Have been through Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Upper Michigan during the last six weeks . . . Overall about a 10-1 ratio of Trump to Clinton signs . . . about 3-1 in Wisconsin . . . Many demo candidate signs out ‘without’ any Clinton signage alongside . . . Based here in East Central Iowa and areas there were ‘true-blue-Obama’ are only showing ‘local candidate signage’ ...
Any Clinton signs are the ‘typical yard sign’, whereas many, many are the large Trump signs.
What is really interesting are the homemade Trump signs along with the homemade Hillary for Prison, Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire, and more anti-Hillary signage.
Have discussed these strange observations for some time. . .
WOW! What a dramatic time we are going through ! ! !

Still Report #1096 - How Clinton Rigs the Polls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLf63B1R5aY
“According to an Aug. 2 interview in “Real. True. News.”, an unnamed source at 538 says that despite the brave front Hillary Clinton continues to display to the public, Democrats are in an absolute panic because Donald Trump has taken a commanding lead in nearly all demographic groups.”

When the RTN reporter questioned the conspiratorial nature of that concept, the 538 insider said:
“Sure—what? You think it’s . . . random? Come on. Who do you think pays for the polls? People who want results.
“You’re buying media. It’s like ads or . . . I don’t know. Like newspaper stories? You pay 30k for a poll of Florida, it says what you want.”

Then, 538 guy commented on the difficulty Poll Control had in dealing with the rising tide of Trump support:
“This time … Trump just caught us by surprise. The impact was so big – it came on so fast – Hillary just collapsed.”
“There were a few hours when the server was showing real projections and while traffic was pretty high, let me tell you, it was a melt-down politically.”

Still Report #1095 - Daybreak Poll Trump Turns it Around
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5NZlEBjNbQ
First of all, although I have seen no formal figures – though I’m sure some must exist – Trump’s in-person crowds are crushing Clinton’s by a factor of between 10 to 1 – to 100 to 1.

Staten Island should secede from NYC.

Better yet, the 4 boroughs should be donated to the People’s Republic of New Jersey, along with Philthadelphia (aka West Camden).

All three states would benefit.

Amen!! We tried to secede but they need us to offset all the welfare moochers in the bronx and brooklyn.

16 dollar bridge should be HEADLINE news across the country as an example of how far we’ve fallen.

But people pay it and move on

INTRA borough bridge.

When I was a kid and pop would pick up my grandma rose and take her to SI and then BACK to Brooklyn, it would cost 8 bucks.

Now it would 32!!!!

This hillary character is said by the msm to be ‘leading the polls’ but can’t seem to find anyone to vote for her.

It’s more than a little suspicious.
