It looks like Trump has a ceiling, about 35% to 40%.
I have a real problem believing those. The political class wants Trump out and Hillary in; they are trying to guide our steps. When I see those rally crowds, and I have watched at least 1/2 the rallies in their entirety, I look at those polls and I say “ Who am I to believe your polls or my lying eyes?”
The media, the GOP, the Democrats and the lobbyists are one organism. They are fighting to exist and they will play dirty. We have not managed to get a real conservative through their gauntlet for many election cycles. Frankly I don’t believe anything they say.
