Agreed. It has a feel. No one really wants Hillary. Will they show up for her? I don’t think so.

Now Heather needs to thaw out the others at National Review who are frozen in horror at the notion of a Trump win.

I feel the pollsters and pundits will be left scratching their heads in November.

The “sign” that tells me Trump is absolutely feared by his opponents and feared because they believe he can win is this:

I have never seen the media actually become part of a campaign on a 24/7 basis than I’ve seen this year. 95% of media reports are wildly and blatantly biased for Hillary and anti-Trump - it’s amazing. That tells me something, they are pooping in their pants.

Ding Ding Ding... Hillary will get the people who would vote D no matter what.. but there is ZERO enthusiasm for her... polling is modeling 2012 models and they are completely incorrect.... I don’t see any path to her winning...

Trump wins, wins big...

Tell me, unless this is your first time voting, who, who is undecided about Hillary? You know her, you aren’t undecided, if you are going to vote for her you have already decided to... so any undecideds will break big for Trump.

This thing is only a race right now because Trump is only at about 75% support among republicans... he’s up 10-20% among independents. THat 25% of republicans are the ones going through the stages of grief, most by election day will come around... some, who have a vested interest in the existing corrupt system wont, but most of that 25% will come home... and assuming this is a correct read, Trump wins HANDILY.

I don’t think this thing is going to be close...

DNC Leaks will keep happening, Hillary will keep lying and getting caught...obvious systemic corruption of the system, EPI PEN headlines anyone? Will continue to reinforce Trump’s narrative... Islamic Terror Attacks will continue to happen... etc etc...

I just see no calculus where Hillary even gets a good showing, let alone a win.

Tyranny or Trump, make your choice and do not forget the Supreme Court. If we loose the court, we are doomed.

I’m glad to see this published in NR. Looks like they’re moving through the stages of grief and coming to realize the obvious. Now, let’s see VDH and Andy McCarthy get the message and get on the Trump train.

A pity this article didn’t appear in National Review before I let my subscription lapsed due to their hysterical editorials on Donald Trump.

Well, well, well... NR has tried their best to defeat and utterly humiliate Trump and now they are predicting a Trump win.

This is not a normal political party election and Trump is going to win.

those who, at bottom, find Trump personally objectionable

Was chatting with a some FReepers awhile back, regarding just this. I was wishy-washy on Trump, they helped sharpen my opinion.

They pointed out that I don't need to *like* the guy, I need to decide if he'll do a good job as president. And, given his track record as a businessman - particularly in how he surrounds himself with good people - I think that he'll do OK. Ergo, he has my vote.

Figure that any Chief Exec, corporate or otherwise, is measured not by what he does personally, but by what's accomplished on his watch. So long as he picks good people to do the work, and delegates to them, he'll be fine.

” I was on CNN five weeks prior to that election and produced outright guffaws and rolled eyes from everyone when I said that the GOP would win not only the Senate but also the House.”

While searching for info to comment I came across a FR post by some guy named “faucetman”

I’ll quote part of it here.

from 2012:

“I first became aware of this poll in 1994. I was watching a roundtable discussion on C Span with a dozen (or more) pollsters. They went down the line asking the pollsters to predict the expected gains for each party. The Democrat pollsters naturally predicted modest gains for Republicans. Republican pollsters naturally predicted larger gains. When they got to Ed Goaz (The Republican half of The Battleground Poll), he said (I don’t remember the exact amount) something like 40 or more House seats. Everyone else on the panel burst into laughter.

As we now know, it was a Republican LANDSLIDE taking control of the House for the first time in 40 years, gaining 54 seats. (8 Senate seats)”

The polls CAN be wrong, especially this year with the absolute hatred toward Trump and the establishment seeing that they could actually lose their power.
