It turns out our country is headed towards its very own Brexit. Just like the voters in the United Kingdom, Americans are fed up with a status quo that ignores their problems and constantly leaves them falling farther behind. A staggering two out of every three Americans believe America is on the wrong track. Now they’re making their voices heard.
Don’t believe me? The facts speak almost as loudly as the millions of Americans who want to make America great again.
One of the things that stunned the so-called experts is the huge turnout that led to Brexit. The same thing happened on this side of the Atlantic during the Republican primary season. An enormous number of people voted for the outsider candidate. The previous record was 10.8 million votes for George W. Bush in 2000 – Trump blew past that record with over 13 million primary votes. In the nine presidential elections I have worked in, I have never seen such voter energy and enthusiasm.
This amazing turnout reflects the simple fact that Donald Trump has broad appeal. Independents in particular are responding to him. Our recent polling in two battleground states shows independents flocking to Trump over Hillary Clinton. In Ohio, independents go for Trump by 19 percentage points. In North Carolina, they prefer him over Clinton by 24 points.
These numbers show just how upset the American people are with the status quo. They don’t want a third term of President Obama’s abysmal economic growth and feckless foreign policy. They want someone who will upend the status quo rather than worsen America’s decline.

Losers Romney and McCain ran to lose.
And of course polls are never wrong. Oh, wait...
Try to tamper your pessimism FRiend, this election has all the feel of 1980 all over again.
All Trump really has to do is ask and re-ask the questions:
“are you better off than you were 8 years ago?”
“would you like an Obama third term?”
“would you like more radical Islamic jihadists in America?”
Those three questions alone will put it away for him.
Amazingly, had Rollins said, ". . . believe America is on the wrong road, then Thomas Jefferson, in his First Inaugural Address, has, as if from the grave, given those "two out of every three Americans" his personal advice on what to do.
Jefferson, the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., in his 1801 Inaugural Address laid out what might be considered to be "qualifications" for the American President.
Note, especially, the last paragraph quoted below, in which Jefferson advises citizens about what to do if the nation "wanders" from the "essential principles" of liberty outlined in his Address:
(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;
= enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;
- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter
—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,
- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.
- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;
- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;
- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;
- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;
- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;
- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;
- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;
- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;
- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.
These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
(Excerpt, Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural, 1801)
And you think somehow all those Libs are going to just vote for Trump?? They’ll vote like they are told... they might throw a tantrum.... but they WILL vote for Hellery.
Sure as hell hope your right... we will see I guess. I dont think Reagan had such high Negatives as Trump does...
as much as I hate to admit it... there are TONS of people who just Love Zero... and want nothing more than a 3rd term for him..
You THINK this has done NO DAMAGE, because the MSM has made the narrative so YOU would THINK this way!!! BELIEVE ME there has been damage ALOT of damage, the most important damage that has been done IS the people SEEING her getting AWAY with all of this CRAP and our government letting it happen, people KNOW they would NOT get away with this law breaking and THEY ARE PISSED!!! In the ballot box in private you are going to SEE just how PISSED they are!!! POLLS ARE PURE BS!!!!!
Yep. Until we get to the fall most polls are designed/intended to drive public opinion. Not reflect it.
Sure as hell hope you are right... I wonder will anyone wake up to see what she really is?? I have my doubts.
To be fair those polls all said it was close but that Remain would win, clearly they didnt, but it wasnt like they had a huge lead like she does.
Thanks. See my Post 24.
They fabricate these polls. They publish whatever they think will make people vote a certain way. They are push polls. They have not been correct for the last several elections. It’s all a joke.
All people have to know is tens of thousands come out to Trump rallies. Hundreds come out for Hillary. Your own lying eyes tell you what the story really is.
The ONLY people who just LOVE Obammie are black communities and they are changing!!!! This is ONLY due to skin color NOT because he has helped them in anyway last I checked Hillay’s skin was as WHITE as snow her turnout IN BLACK COMMUNITIES will be no where near Obammies!!!!
Reagan had some REAL high negatives, he was painted early on as a warmonger, even his eventual vice president, the despicable Poppy Bush labeled his economic plan as ‘Voodoo Economics’ (and he ended up eating a feces sandwich when those Reagan policies WORKED), and just like Trump, Reagan had a gift for connecting with the American people, something the shrill and shrieking PIAPS does not.
In the privacy of the voting booth, MOST sane voters will ask themselves “do I want 4 years of listening to that bitch?”
Answer = *NO* !!!
I know plenty of lily white libtards who LOVE zero... Blacks only make up 13% of the population. Saying they only voted for him is silly, he had a HELL of a lot of white votes as well.
You NEED to STOP listening to MSM she DOES NOT have a HUGE lead in polls!!!!
ok, so your saying ALL the polls are wrong? really? all of them? im sure some are biased as hell... but I dont know of a single one thats looks like it should look.
Trump should be up 20 points over this creature!
Trump WILL BE next POTUS!!! Enough said you can argue this till the cows come home YOU ARE WRONG!!!!
Big difference is they actually count paper ballots, we don't.
I have long contended polls are designed to make us accept the results they have planned for us.
This plan to destroy cultures and create a borderless world was first tested when they began to consolidate schools from small towns and rural schools. We seemed to accepted that and now we have entire generations that all have limited real education and can easily accept the propagandized government lies.
Large scale propaganda on a populace that has had any semblance of critical thinking, beaten out of them in government schools, is been very effective. Global warming is but one of the more obvious lies that have been sold. Recently government data lab was closed down for faking weather data that was used to create their dishonest climate models. The lab may have been shut down but the fake data they compiled likely will endure.
