RUSH: New York Times: "Think Hillary Clinton Will Win in a Landslide? Don't Bet on It." So we've got this new poll from Florida Atlantic University, Trump up two, 43 to 41 over Hillary in Florida. We've got a Reuters poll that shows Hillary up 12 nationally, but remember in that poll they don't count the undecideds.
Now, in all these battleground states, the narrative is that Trump is losing. Who cares about the national polls, they say, in these battleground states, states Trump has to win, you can barely see him anymore. He's in the rearview mirror and he's getting further and further away. There doesn't seem to be any way he can reverse field, Hillary running out the clock, not even gonna do any campaign appearances 'cause she realizes that the media is running the campaign for her.
And then this poll shows up, and amidst other stories about how it's tightening, that Trump is gaining ground but then the accompanying stories are, is there enough time? Then people say, "Well, wait 'til the debates, Rush. Anything can happen in the debates. Debates, I mean, she can get skunked, he could get skunked, you never know, the debates, the thing hasn't even really begun now." Then Trump came out with his supposed softening on immigration, and now we've got the New York Times saying, "Hey, if you think she's gonna win in landslide, you better not bet on it." And they go on to explain why.
"The vote may be more favorable to Mr. Trump than the worst-case-scenario prognosticators suggest for a very simple reason: Landslides do not really happen in presidential elections anymore." Oh, so that's why? They got a whole story here with a headline: "Think Hillary Clinton Will Win in a Landslide? Don’t Bet on It." And the only reason why is that landslides don't happen anymore? You talk about a giant suck-you-in. This is what is called "clickbait" in the tech community. They just want people clicking and that equals ostensibly hits, which leads to advertising revenue, supposedly.
Anyway, my thinking on this, with Hillary basically phoning it in now -- and they're making no bones about it, by the way. The Democrat Party, other than their fundraising, which they seem hell-bent on. But that's nothing really odd. That's what the Clintons do is ask people for money. That's essentially the reason they're alive is to ask people for money, and they're probably better at it than most anybody else.
But aside from that, no press conferences, no campaign appearances, let the media run the campaign, essentially. And it's the old overconfidence aspect settling in. And it makes a lot of people on the Democrat side nervous. And I think privately they're a little bit more nervous than they admit simply because they saw what happened during the primaries. They saw what Trump can do.
So I don't think this show that they're putting on of, "Hey, you know, it's over. This guy's a buffoon, he has no prayer. Everybody loves Hillary. She's gonna win this thing in a cakewalk." I think that a lot of that is making others on the Democrat side a little nervous. We're not talking about Babe Ruth here calling her shot. I mean, Hillary Clinton has got her own problem with negatives. She has her own problem with people that don't like her. In fact, this may be an election, one of those elections where more people vote against somebody than actually vote for somebody. It could well be.

Limbaugh, the anti-Trump, GOPe ass kisser, is a worthless POS!
Off topic, but can’t help notice but how disproportionately large her body is compared to her head. Wow has she packed on the pounds downstairs.
Her new TeePee style designer wardrobe for “fluffy” people really cracks me up. I don’t remember any other candidate for president ever turning into a tub ‘o’ lard while on the campaign trail.
They may be nervous .... But they Will still vote for her.
Algore has the decency to wait until he was done.
Just reinforces most people’s opinion that Hillary is going to drop out due to ill health at the last minute, and Biden and perhaps Elizabeth Warren will ride in on their white horse that everyone has been speculating about since this began. All those moody Dems that have drifted over to Trump will drift back toute de suite! Sigh!
It's sign that she doesn't have the energy to exercise. And then there's all those catered dinners with donors.
Democrats I talk to will not drift back; they’re strongly for Trump and openly tell people so.
We The People are big-time angry; count on it. Biden/Warren are toast.
No doubt the commies next door will.
They would for anything with a D beside the name no matter what.
I’m surprised they haven’t put any kind of sign for whatever marxist they support. They have before, especially for the wun and left it up for months after he was elected both times.
A lot of the photos I see of Hills, she looks like she just got goosed.
Trump hinted today that some good poll numbers are coming out.
She is just letting us get use to her being covered up a little more at a time she wont don a full Burka till she wins the election
and they will, but I doubt that the Clinton media will report it.
AND YOU ARE AN IGNORANT LUNATIC *sweet smile*
She sure has.
Oh there is no doubt in my mind that the same ignorant voters that voted for that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave will vote for her.
To hide the medical stuff she is wearing, better.
