Trump, just now in Flint Michigan.
How dare the American voters choose a candidate that THEY want as President.
The establishment are soiling themselves. They are REALLY scared.
It is, Trump’s message and platform are popular and for good reason. His new messaging helps the pathetic squishes feel better about voting for him.
If there are any terrorist attacks between now and the election, which is very likely, Trump’s numbers should go permanently up beyond Hillary’s.
> “Most importantly, he’s so far avoided a repeat of the sorts of episodes that seemed to be most damaging to him in the campaign: When he attacked a low-profile person on the basis of religion or ethnicity, as he did with Khizr Khan and Gonzalo Curiel.”
Grammatically speaking, does anyone see a problem with the above?
Maybe it is that Trump has promised to restore the rule of law while illary has promised to amnesty every illegal alien.
Americans have consistently wanted the laws enforced for decades while our elected have consistently refused to do so.
They don’t get it. They never will. This is the kind of denial Louis XVI and his court suffered from all the way to the guillotine.
Metrosexual snowflake: Josh is a contributor to MSNBC; host of KCRW’s “Left, Right & Center”; and co-host with Linette Lopez of “Hard Pass.” He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Harvard College.

keep gaining.
They are “trying to figure out why”? I thought they were the cognitive elite. Maybe “trying to figure out why” consists of nothing more than reading the NY Times, WaPo, and center-left blogs. Well, it worked in ‘12.
This guy is disgusting.
He says Trump’s winning because whites feel their privilege leaving.
The polls moved into his favor the moment the first RNC debate moderator asked the first question:
“Will any of you run as an independent if you don’t win the Republican nomination”.
The moment he raised his hand I was hooked. When we understand that the GOPe (RINO) is all that populates the right of the aisle, the idea that Trump - now matured into a powerhouse of strength and resolve - could take it down made me stand up and cheer.
Were Cruz to raise his hand ? I would boo. Because he doesn’t have what it takes. But Trump has been .. well.. not so much a hero to me but certainly an interesting study since I was 12. I know Donald Trump - As much as anyone in the country can really say they do (Never met the man) and I knew from the get go that if he can’t correct America that he would burn down the pit of vipers that the Communists have created.
And I still believe he will.
Trump can talk about Hillary's health issues in such a way that even the media would have a hard time spinning it. For instance, he could say that he wishes Hillary the best with her on-going health issues, the coughing, fainting, and so on, then segue into a discussion of how demanding the campaign trail is. He can leave it to voters to make the connection, while showing nothing but concern for Hillary's health.
Meanwhile, the backseat pundits are spreading the really damaging information. Trump should not speculate about possible Parkinson's or other neurological issues at all.
As for the meeting with the Mexican president, Trump came off as quite presidential, as he has many times during the campaign. When there was a terrorist incident in France during the primaries, Trump immediately got on CNN and made statements, while Obama couldn't be bothered to tear himself away from his golf game. IIRC, none of the other candidates issued immediate statements.
Most importantly, he's so far avoided a repeat of the sorts of episodes that seemed to be most damaging to him in the campaign: When he attacked a low-profile person on the basis of religion or ethnicity, as he did with Khizr Khan and Gonzalo Curiel.
In these cases, Trump was responding to attacks. And he was shining light on a problem that the left will not acknowledge: that it is okay for minorities to be racist/sexist/bigot/etc., but not whites (especially males). While the media tried to spin Trump's counterattacks as bigotry, it is not, in fact, bigoted to point out that a minority seems to be motivated by racism. Politically incorrect, yes, but not bigoted.
Trump is campaigning better, but there was also some mystery in why Hillary jumped so much in the polls to begin with.
Hillary and her handlers thought they could run a campaign by spending other people's money and positioning herself as not-Trump. Trump's campaign has found that having established a sold base of policy positions and watching his opponent make an utter fool of herself, not-Hillary is a natural and easy position to take because she's given it to them.
There is one more major factor, and to the cynical it sounds dated and stilted, which may be part of the problem, but it is this: Trump loves his country and his people and Hillary loves neither. To her we are a glob of clay to be molded into a future that mirrors her staggering ego. That isn't unusual among progressive politicians, including the sitting President, but it's a very bad idea to let the marks know what the game is. At some point we fight back.
Another establishment guy who doesn’t get it. Americans (and all humans really) operate mostly on visuals. Scott Adams is right about that. Dukakis lost when he had his picture taken in the tank. Hillary lost when she did her Weekend at Bernie’s impression at the 911 memorial. People will find whatever reasons they need to vote for Trump. They won’t vote for or against him based on this guy’s conscerns.
By October it will look like Trump is running unopposed. Heck! It looks like that now. And the NeverTrumpers will all be thinking and saying and fearing the Trump landlside.
Ever since HRC, may she rest in peace, described his supporters as a “basket of adorables” everybody wants into the big Basket or as Cruz would say: “ring”.
