Trump can’t articulate the issues. I realize most Freepers can’t either, but the Republican nominee must have this ability.

*******

Yet he’s in first place in every poll, gets millions of dollars in free publicity every week, is polling at 25% with black voters, doing well with Hispanics, drives the narrative and is getting tons of crossover votes.


From Rush, today....

So they have been eagerly anticipating the day they can report he’s leveled off. They then are eagerly anticipating the day they can report his support is falling and dwindling. And they are eagerly anticipating the day when they can report one of two other things, that either some other candidate has taken the lead over Trump or that Trump has decided to pull out. Those are the two future prospects that many in the Drive-By Media now are wedded to and excited about.

And in fact here at the Washington Post: “Donald Trump’s Slide in the Polls is Beginning to Look Real.” This is a story by Philip Bump. “You might have seen new national poll numbers from Fox News, released Wednesday night. ... Donald Trump ... remains in first place in the race ... actually increasing his share of support from 25 percent to 26 percent,” but wait, but wait.

You might also have seen CNN’s new poll from over the weekend. That one had Trump at 24%, down from 32%. Trump gets real mad when you cite that poll, by the way. He doesn’t like you talking about that poll. That’s why he got mad at O’Reilly, ‘cause O’Reilly cited a CNN poll, Trump got mad. And then there’s the Bloomberg poll out today, showing Trump at 21 right where he’s always been, so what gives here? So you got three polls, Trump flat in two of them and down eight points in another one.

I’ll tell you what gives here. Leave it to me to provide the answer. What gives is that the Washington Post is still harping on one poll that showed Trump’s number declining. They are ignoring all the other more recent polls that show him staying the same or going up, even if it’s just a point or two. And what gives is the Washington Post has completely given up all pretense of journalism, is now working full time in the propaganda business. That’s what’s up, since they asked, I’m happy to answer.

Looking at the internals of the polls, they are squirrely. They have to have incongruous sampling. The moderate-liberal polling in the Quinnipiac poll went up and the more conservative polling went down, as an example... And not just a point or two. Figures lie, and liars figure... Abe Lincoln was a smart fellow.

“So they have been eagerly anticipating the day they can report he’s leveled off. They then are eagerly anticipating the day they can report his support is falling and dwindling”

They reported this exact thing tonight at the opening of Megyn Kelly’s show, and they used this graph to demonstrate it visually.

Kelly spent the first 15 minutes of her show talking about how it’s all over for Trump. She may have gone on for the rest of the hour, I turned her off so I don’t know.
