A Trump landslide a real possibility. He is still getting massive crowds, no matter were in the United States he campaigns. This election reminds me of the 1968 election, where the "Silent Majority" was sick and tired of politics as usual, lawlessless all over the country and a general feeling that the country was about to go over the edge. The Silent Majority was basically white men, veterans of WW2 and other wars, who had had enough. Richard Nixon ran as the law and order candidate and as the candidate that could execute the Vietnam War.

I’m not saying Trump isn’t behind, but . . . I can imagine huge numbers of union men saying they will vote to Hillary in front of union bosses, but voting for jobs and Trump and because they are tired of the whole transgender shtick.

Some guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight the other day talked about a convention of hairdressers/beauticians he wondered into not long ago - said as people registered at the beginning of the meeting they were asked to sign beside their names whom they would be voting for this fall - Hillary won by about 55-45 percent over Trump - a few hours later they were asked to cast a secret ballot, again for this fall’s presidential election - this time - ie now anonymous vs the original public - Trump won 50% to 40% - silent majority indeed.......

NKP_Vet: "The Silent Majority was basically white men, veterans of WW2 and other wars, who had had enough."

Sadly, that generation has nearly all left us now, putting less reliable baby-boomers in there place.
Further, if Hillary can turn it into a "boys against the girls" school-yard contest, with ethnicities lining up with the girls' team, us boys will find ourselves badly outnumbered.

But I trust, hope and pray you are correct, the polls are all wrong and there's a secret Trump wave vote which will wash the country clean of Democrats from sea to shining sea.

Unfortunately, I've hoped that before, and been disappointed.
This time will be different...? :-)

They know all of their polls are fake and are terrified a massive vote is coming.

Pray America wakes

As long as those who detest Trump keep outing themselves, he should improve. Trump continues to prove he has ALL the right enemies. Trump is the perfect hand grenade to wreck the established uniparty/media coalition.

Again. America’s future is in the hands of white women.

They will vote with their men, or for the rape and murder of their children.

I’ve never understood why the GOP smart guys haven’t figured out that they need to make ClintonObamaClinton unpalatable to the people who vote for them. If a GOP operative can’t answer that question— what will keep a single woman/black/hispanic/muslim from going to the polls- they shouldn’t be hired.

The last two elections — when people on our side (including myself) were saying “the polls are all BS designed to suppress the GOP vote” — have taught me a lesson, and that lesson is not to discount the polls.

That said, it’s very hard to understand how Trump has no trouble turning out tens of thousands of people to hear him in pretty much every venue he visits, and Hillary struggles to fill a hundred seats, and yet we’re told that Hillary is solidly ahead of Trump in pretty much every MSM poll.

It is necessary to deny the existence of the Monster Vote prior to denying the counting of the Monster Vote.

In a few more weeks, the larger polling forms like Gallup will become very concerned about being correct. Their credibility and accuracy in polling is their product.

I have to wonder how they are factoring in all the cord cutters into their polling. There are millions upon millions of potential voters out there that have nothing more than a smartphone and those users have complete control over what they read and who they talk to.
