In the end, it was the voters of Indiana last week who effectively gave the country the outcome that had loomed for months. The 2016 election is likely to pit Hillary Clinton, who is disliked by a majority of voters, against Donald Trump, disliked by a greater majority of voters.
If the rise of Trump has no obvious precedent, neither does an election like this. Clinton, whose buoyant favorable ratings in the State Department convinced some Democrats that she could win easily, is now viewed as unfavorably as George W. Bush was in his close 2004 reelection bid. Trump is even less liked, with negative ratings among nonwhite voters not seen since the 1964 campaign of Barry Goldwater.

"Vote For Alice. A Troubled Man For Troubled Times"

[ya might wanna have a peek at my profile, btw] :D
The year of the hated: the NY TIMES andd the Washington Post, two intensely disliked commie rags, spew out their propaganda
One is not liked, the other is hated.
Those are pretty well much pie in the sky numbers, they deserve their own scare quotes.
LOL!!!!! That is a great idea.
I just watched him send CNN’s morning team to school....He is a fighter, no doubt.
Chris Cuomo, I think it was, started out aggressively. Trump fought back and it seemed like the panel afterwards was almost in awe of him. I wish I could have captured it and posted it live.
I hope someone else saw it.
Every Democrat President from FDR on was built up on a cult of personality, meaning that they were genuinely liked, or at least supposedly liked: “Give ‘em hell” Harry, rat-pack JFK, down-home Carter and Clinton, and Shaft Barack.
The only GOP equivalents to this have been “I Like Ike” Eisenhower, and of course Reagan. Nixon was too stern and GHWB too snooty to actually be liked—and while GWB had a genuine personality, the MSM spent eight years practicing the politics of personal destruction, making sure that he was hated by the time he left office.
This year, for the first time since 1984, the tables are turned: the Democrats, unless they come to their senses, are going to nominate the least-liked liberal lady (I love alliteration, but I digress), while the GOP is going to nominate a genuine demagogue, in the non-pejorative sense of the term, a man who speaks what the people want to hear, and does it in a way that makes him very popular among enough of a plurality of voters that he will be swept into office in November in a landslide similar to the one Reagan had in 1984, Eisenhower in 1952, and FDR in 1932.
I was JUST about to post that nothing tops my dislike list more than such as the Washington Post. Now that you added the New York Times, the nausea and outrage meter has pegged the right side. The harm that publications like that have done to the country is immeasurable.
When elements of the media make these kinds of
comparisons what they don’t mention is that the more
liberal person has received far better media treatment
than the conservative.
Trump does not turn off people when he speaks. Hillary does. Having to listen to Hillary speak is a violation of the laws against cruel and unusual punishment.
What I notice and like about Trump is that he lets the leftists know that he is aware of their attempt at psychologically manipulating the conversation with PC or slipping in any other Alinsky style jabi immediately in his own way. He doesn't accept their premise and rejects it abruptly letting them know that he's the grown up in the room when they start whining and citing PC equality and unfairness bullcrap which everyone knows is the liar's preferred method of choice to excuse bad behavior these days. He basically verbally wedges them and let's them know that they are ones that are wrong thinking and need to be corrected to the American way of doing things. That's old school John Wayne and its needed to deal with the progressive babies who want to transform the world into a NWO dystopian hell.
Hey! It’s THE WASHINGTON POST for crying out loud.
What would you expect from anything with the name WASHINGTON in the paper’s banner?
They should have named it “THE GOOD OLD BOY POST” or “THE GO ALONG POST” to correctly identify their bias.
It’s a mistake to equate intensity of support with depth of support. We’re going to find that out as the election cycle unfolds.
It’s also a mistake to discount any and all articles/reports/polls that you don’t agree with.
Agree...high negatives and a 27 state sweep on all demographics doesn’t add up to high negatives. The only high negatives are with Democrats who fear Trump can easily beat Clinton and GOPeCons who are going to lose their “inherited” power. The Washington Post should worry about its own high negatives.
Golf partner? Or Ace n Ales? David Goldwater? Friend of JB?
You mean some folks are going to vote for Frump instead of Trump?
That is totally awesome! LOL Dis U or just his biggest fan?
And where is the yellow Rolls???
Been humorous to watch all the Trump supporters who spent the primary season bragging about his polling results... completely disregard the polling for the general election. I think the media in general is understating his chances in the general but there is no doubt he has a steep hill to climb. There are a lot of people out there who like getting stuff that other people pay for.
Quit your whining. Your guy lost, and he lost fair and square. In fact, even with his delegate poaching, he lost and lost big.
None of us Trump supporters think that the battle is over. So help us beat Hillary or get out of the way.
