I felt this article needs repeating.

What Americans among us would hope that America has no future? Who among us would like a corrupted old lesbian criminal to sit in the oval orifice and ruin everybody's life as well as the lives of their innocent children.

Who wants this old pants-suited hag to drag her diseased prop that some refer to as her husband back in the saddle again?

Do many Americans have a death wish?

Trump offers a bright future and a large winch to pull this pitiful nation out of the Obama-created swamp.

Hillary offers more and more Muslims to scoot away into every corner of America to plot and strap on their bombs and walk among us.

How many can be bothered to get off the couch to vote for 8 more years of Clintonism, especially as she has shown herself to be even more evil, opportunistic, hypocritical and lying that her disbarred rapist husband. Trump can be a breath of fresh air that can blow all the elitists into the Potomac.

Watching the various "man on the street" answering questions about his government is truly frightening

The main thing is the Electoral College and Clinton has that sewed up because there are so many blue states.

Pollster: "Who do you support? A) Hillary, the world's most intelligent woman, who is also humanity's only hope. or, B) That A-hole, racists bigot Trump."

The polls may predict Clinton as the winner but what will the polls say after all the files that the Russian hacked off of her email are released?

Thinking the polls include the silent votes of the dead, illegals and mechanized cheating.

Lately every black we meet seems to be voting for Trump. If the GOP base turns out and Trump Peel’s off 15% of the Black vote and a large majority of the indies he should win handily.

Anyone who's seen the more accurate polls (like that 100,000 people poll done with a special app for cellphones) note Trump is WAY ahead of Clinton.

In fact, new revelations about Clinton Foundation finances and now even discussion about Hillary's health are warnings from the MSM that Hillary MUST resolve these issues soon or the MSM could start turning on her. Everyone knows the issues dealing with Hillary, who is so opposite of her husband Bill in dealing with the press (Bill LOVED the attention).

I’ve been through many election cycles. This take is common in losing campaigns.

It rarely ends well for those claiming the polls are off.

I’m all in for Trump and hope to see the polls turn around.

Even that can be misleading because there are more red states than blue.

I am one of the naysayers on this: I don't like counting on a hidden, unseen cache of voters. Rarely happens.

And yes, I know like Brexit, Larry Hogan, British elections, and a few others, there are exceptions to the rule.

Finally, someone who agrees with me. I hope to see a turnaround too.

I think the biggest reason the polls are wrong is people like me. I don’t answer 1-800 numbers and if it is a poll, hang up. I’m personally so disgusted with the whole system that I don’t want to play anymore.

You got it. I had seen last night a good number of blacks at that rally in Austin.

The article makes a good point. That during the primary, the polls consistently showed Trump winning.

It was the pundits that were ignoring the polls and predicting Trumps demise.

I personally am not discounting the polls, but draw most of my faith in a Trump wins not from Trumps numbers but from Hillary's.

As long as Hillary's numbers everywhere stay stuck in the low 40’s, I think Trump will win. If we start getting consistent polling showing Hillary above 50% .. it's over in my opinion. My theory is that Hillary's support is capped in the low 40’s nearly everywhere, while Trump floor is around 40%, and that the missing 15-20% will eventually come around to Trump.
