The shift in Virgina seems rather stunning. Only a few days ago, most pundits, including conservative ones, had written the state off. With the last two polls showing a virtual tie, that analysis is out the window. Pennsylvania is also closing, but still sits at a 6.0 point margin for Hillary, so for now, it will remain out of the index.
This shift is significant because Trump can pull into the lead just by bringing Republicans into his tent. He has not been achieving the ninety percent level of Republican support that a GOP candidate typically receives. He has been closer to seventy-five percent. If he can just get a little closer to ninety percent support, he should claim these states that often go GOP. Some of the GOP will naturally come home as we approach election day.
I understand, and concur. We need people who will fight for liberty and for those ideals for which many have died. There are few in politics who do. People like Beck are pitiful and irrelevant.
“What a fraud, Mark Levin turned out to be, for all his harping on how vital our Constitution is!”
Mr. Constitution was perfectly fine with supporting a candidate who’s not even eligible to hold the office, per the Framers he so greatly admires.
Talk about a “big dope”!
Trump is unlikely to pull 90% of repub voters. Because he is a thorn in the side of GOP elitism. If Trump wins, that is the end of Bush, Romney, and McConnell types. Who is going to hire Karl Rove?
Trump has to win by pulling in dormant voters, and dissatisfied democrats.
I recognized Sabato’s bias the first time I saw him.
Agreed, but I think he could approach it, maybe 85 to 87 percent, something like that. This is because Hillary is so objectionable. Who knows, but too little is made of the fact that Trump’s fate is entirely in the hands of Republicans. There will be a powerful pull on all Republicans as we approach the election, even Jonah Goldberg.
He is first and foremost a devotee of free trade. Now I love free trade too, like Trump does, but when the other guys are employing something akin to slave labor and our workers must compete with that because labor standards are ignored, that’s not free trade, right? Don’t tell Mark Levin that. he would rip your head off for that remark. But he’s wrong on that point.
I listen to him regularly. He is not a never Trumper. He has said it over and over since the convention that he is voting for Trump and that we must vote for Trump to save the republic from Hillary.
Great! What did you do to convince them?
Not much convincing required. Just informing them that they could register and vote to save their country.
Even people who have made mistakes can see what unchecked illegal alien inundation is dong to their country.
“I love free trade too, like Trump does, but when the other guys are employing something akin to slave labor and our workers must compete with that because labor standards are ignored, that’s not free trade, right?”
There’s Free Trade, and there’s Fair Trade.
Free Trade is what now prevails as the status quo. It’s what you described above, and it’s killing this country.
Trump believes in Fair Trade, which means that all parties are subject to the same rules, regulations, etc. In other words, a level playing field, where no party has an unfair advantage over the other, baked into the process.
The crony capitalists of the Uniparty have almost destroyed America with their Free Trade deals. They sold off our market advantages to globalist vultures, and got filthy rich in the process. Trump means to end all that, and put American jobs and business first, again.
Agreed.
