WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON?!?!?!?!!

THIS (tHE ONLY POLL I TRUST A LITTLE) SAYS TRUMP IS UP FOUR AND THERE’S NO CAPITALS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS EVERYWHERE!!!

:) :) :)

I know, it’s a snapshot in time. BUT BOY does this make me happy.

He’s reach out to EVERYBODY and hillary’s sitting home.

After he eats the mex pres for dinner, forget about it.

A little concerned about Homeland taking over the election though.

[ConservativeDude]

also...I glanced at headlines which said that she lost a 12 point lead in the Reuters poll.

The rigged media polls can’t hide the surge that is actually there, perhaps? :)

[baxtelf]

The pundit this morning was saying it was “a hail Mary attempt by a sinking campaign.” The polls are basically tied so how is he the campaign sinking.

[KavMan]

Ed Henry said TRUMP is still losing pretty badly in Battleground States!!!

When will those poll numbers improve or is it hopeless from all the attack ads Hillary has aired there?

[Lurkinanloomin]

If the polls get bad enough, lookfor Yeb! and W. to endorse the wicked witch of Chappaqua.

Nothing is more important to the establishment than preventing the citizens from reversing 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcemnt of immigration laws.
We have 30 million illegal aliens because our government wanted them here.
BOTH PARTIES!

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

It's tough to try to run out the clock with a half-time lead. Especially when your opponent is in much better shape.

If she's this tired in August, she'll be wiped out by October. This thing is about to ramp up quite a bit after Labor Day.

[Personal Responsibility]

Coming soon: CNN/ORC poll uses D+12 sample to show Hillary in statistical dead heat!

[Personal Responsibility]

“Journalism in America has become an embarrassment.”

Has become kind of implies that it changed recently. It’s been an embarrassment for a long, long time.

[datricker]

While I realize that HRC is more unpopular the more she is “out there,” it seems just nuts to me that her campaign is willing to give up so much time and real estate to DJT.

This is puzzling me this morning as well. She just in not campaigning. She is turning out to be a worse candidate than Jeb! You usually don't win if you don't campaign that is why they exist - and yet we hear all these stupid theories on why she channeling Emily Dickenson.

I think Hillary would love to campaign but she can't because in all ways she is "tard".

I don't think FDR's people had this much trouble hiding polio.

Her appearances probably correspond to the days she can have blood doping or other such artificial stimulants

You just don't run a campaign like this -act like your winning going away when you campaign is in freefall.

The press has fired their big guns and they got nothing.

Seriously come Tuesday the left is going to start acting in a way that will set the new standard for unhinged.

Donald Trump should jump rope for 30 seconds and challenge Hillary to do the same - 30 seconds

[datricker]

If the polls get bad enough, lookfor Yeb! and W. to endorse the wicked witch of Chappaqua.

Anything Bush is toxic these days - lets all heed Jesse Jackson's advice on the matter from now one. And only on that matter

GWB has gone from being a great man to someone who needs shaming, and punch in the nose, although he does have a good bob and weave, witnessed by us when he avoided that Iraqi shoe.

Boy howdy was that guy on the money.

In the full light of day this family is corrupt top to bottom.- Neil, George, Jeb, Bandar ...

Great comment Lurkianloomin

[datricker]

Trump doesn't "sell-out," but he does "sell."

Appears he is getting lots of "buy-in"

Yeay fun with words

[Moonman62]

GWB has gone from being a great man to someone who needs shaming,

...

I don’t think he was ever a great man, he only played one on TV.

[af_vet_1981]

but some of his backers might see this as Trump selling out.

Not a chance; Trump is opening negotiations with Mexico by courteously accepting Mexico's President's invitation to visit face to face. It's a good move.

[Awgie]

When Hillary waddles up to a mic to take questions, I will know she is losing.

[DoughtyOne]

Despite differences with other nations, we still have to have relations with them. Trump going to Mexico to meet with it’s leader is a good thing.

It makes him look more like a statesman.

I think it’s good that they iron out their differences, or at least form a working relationship despite them.

Sell out? Puuuleeeeeeesssse. (nut-job territory)

Will it be a sell out every time he goes abroad? Who makes this stuff up? Sheesh!

[DoughtyOne]

Besides, Mexico's leadership needs to explain how they are going to pay for the wall. Everybody knows that!

LOL

Have you seen this site? http://www.isidewith.com/poll/801555698/9333309

I forget who opted this, but he/she said it was pro-Trump by 5-8 points, but was very good in the primaries and all the trends confirm USC.

[Jim W N]

I think Trump gets a bounce every time Hillary shows her face.

[Parley Baer]

“Second day that Trump is ahead, and the trend since Aug 11 has been a Trump rise.”

I think that is important. Also the margin he is ahead is still strong.
