Those who place their hopes on social media likes are going to be sorely disappointed.

The only way to disprove a poll is with another poll, whether next week or in November.

I think if anything it’s made us more pissed off, angry and determined to beat Hillary and send her and the media down in flames together.

Extremely well said.

Trump now has 24 million subscribers on social media. With re-tweets he reaches 48-72million in a single message. The media simply cannot compete against this and whatever they try they give Trump supporters more reasons to vote for him.

I think Trump will win by 55-45 in the popular vote.

Electoral College will be Trump 305-229.

Trump’s margin of victory will come from Reagan Democrats in the North and Blue Dog Democrats in the South voting for him. Plus blacks won’t turn out to vote for Hillary like they did with Obama.

Or at least that’s how I see it.

Honestly, there are no decent ways to project the winner this year. The MSM polls are crap, as always, and we are hoping that social media traffic and crowd turnout somehow translates into a landslide victory. Most people would gladly choose a severe case of food poisoning over electing Hillary but our candidate manages to alienate large numbers of people as well,,, who the hell knows? I do know that if Trump is going to win we will have to overcame massive voter fraud and disenfranchisement from hundreds of thousands of illegals. This country is hot steamy mess.

>> Social media patterns mean nothing <<

Well, I don't know about you, but I won't be able to make up my mind about the trend until I see results from the Literary Digest's latest poll.

If you are correct, then prepare for a flood of "not nearly a mandate", "Trump must come to the bargaining table because of his narrow victory"

Of course when bammy won by 51% - 49% in 2012, it was a "Complete blowout", "Strong mandate" blah, blah, blah.

“Social media patterns mean nothing. I am nervous about his ground game and grass roots plans. Democrats have it down to an art. I worry about Trump.”

I really think Clinton has very few actual supporters.

On the media I hear how popular Clinton is and how everyone hates Trump.

When I talk to real people, almost no one supports Clinton.

There is also a lot of what I call Trump shaming going on.

People are afraid to publicly say they favor Trump because they are worried about negative reactions.

Trump will win big.

The Liberal Media’s polls are simply propaganda for the DNC. Ignore them. The other polls (e.g., Gallup and Rasmussen) should be taken with a grain of salt, even when they show Trump in the lead. All that matters is Trump reaching 270 electoral votes.

No.

And the polls are unadulterated sh!t.

“our candidate manages to alienate large numbers of people”

I constantly hear in the media how Trump has alienated large numbers of voters.

When I talk to real people I don’t see it.

Hillary Clinton has almost no actual supporters.

Trump is very popular.

I have yet to meet a single real person who says they are alienated by Trump.

This is largely an invention of the media.

I don’t “place my hopes on social media.”

But it is just one more indication of what I see in real life.

In the media, I constantly hear how unpopular Trump is and how people want Clinton. When I talk to real people I find the exact opposite.

Clinton has almost no supporters. Trump is very popular.

The media polls and the media false narratives are dishonest. Trump is very popular.

Trump will win.

Constitutional conservatives, women, and minorities. Granted some minorities are going to be alienated regardless because that’s how they’ve been programmed.

I believe nothing will accurately predict the outcome on Nov 8th from this far out. Truly nothing.

Well, of course not...But is there any measure of accuracy on how the public leans at this particular time???

None of this matters. What matters is the demographic of the electorate. We are at a serious disadvantage. Getting 2/3 of the white vote isn’t enough.
