The VERY fact Trump has a commanding presence on social media has to disturb the Clinton camp to no end. You'd think with generally Left-leaning social media, Clinton support would be huge there.

This is why Mika is wearing sackcloth and looks ashen on Morning RINO today
- something is not adding up. If Mrs Clinton is ahead by double digits nationwide as they claim, why the desperate faces?

And now, with Homeland “Security” taking over the elections after “the Russians ‘hacked’ the electoral systems”, I feel a whole lot better... /sarc/

Shades of the 1950s: the “Russians” hacked the DNC and now they’ve hacked the electoral systems in Arizona and Illinois. Can anyone remember a time when the Democrats (or the Republicans, for that matter) gave a damn about the security of our electoral system? They’ve apparently realized that simple voter fraud alone won’t carry the day for Hitlery.

And Hillary is known to garner a very large percentage of fake followers. Trump probably has 4:1 more real followers.

I think it is Reuters that announced it was deleting “Undecided” from its options for asking which presidential candidate are you voting for. They said they would assign the “undecideds” to the candidate they though the person would vote for based upon their evaluation of other questions the person was asked in their poll interview. Nice way to skew the poll.

I personally wake up every morning and rush to the computer to see what Trump has done TODAY.

It’s so entertaining. Heck, even if I wasn’t for Trump I would find this so entertaining.

Clinton being the “historic candidate” this cycle, you would think that tens of thousands of people would be flocking to her rallies, yet she can barely get more than a few thousand, at best.

Trump’s speech at the Roast and Ride in Iowa has over 2 MILLION views. His rally last night in Everett Washington has over 200,000 views so far. While the rally was going on, Right Side Broadcasting had about 36,000 people watching.

Oh shoot.

Levin exposed? He was Trumping up the fact that cankles numbers were up all over the country!

I listen on the way home from the gym between 6pm and 630pm but he has been so down on Trump since day one.

I bring it up because I have listened to him for many years. What gives?

Unfortunately, passionate voters don’t get to vote twice (or more). If we used this as our only barometer, Ron Paul would have been the nominee in 2012.

It DOES mean that Trump doesn’t need a big war chest to compete, and that means he doesn’t have to be beholden to the money boys. That’s a good thing. He’s in a good position, right now. And there’s more little known gems and forgotten favorites that Trump can effectively cover for the Top 40 market.

This is funny. In past cycles, Republicans were held to ad ifferent (higher) standard of morality, because we tend to run as moral candidates.

We are supposed to be proper, and dignified. HRC wanted those positions (proper and dignified) and she has to go into harridan mode because there is NO expectation of Trump being proper and dignified by traditional definitions. His “toning it down” would still be an “11” on Mitt Romney’s volume control, and Bush the Younger’s for that matter.

The Trump system comes with heavy bass, and a bit much distortion, but no shortage of watts per channel.

Reuters has +12 Dem sample
PPP +7
Economist/yougov +12

If these had usual Dem +3 or so Trump leading in all.

“Don’t listen to the lying media”

They are so stupid and ignorant that they actually may not be lying. They truly do not understand that, now, social media is more important and influential than they are and do not account for it in any of their polling methods or reporting. I do not get concerned about their reporting because I know they don’t have the captive audiences anymore to brainwash.

That the media was/is rigging the polls to show Hillary leading by so many points is a given. The purpose for this is to make it easier for the media, the Democrat Party, and the GOPe to steal the election for Hillary.

Then you've got curmudgeons like me who avoid social media all together but are rabid for Trump/Pence.

This bodes well for Trump support among younger voters, but in the end it will be a ground game. I do think Trump campaign needs to open more regional offices so volunteers can assist with GOTV efforts in October.

Ok, this may be borederline tinfoil hat-ish but...

I believe the wildly unrealistic polls - the ones that show Clinton leading or close to Trump - are intentionally misleading.

We know, beyond any doubt, that obama and the 'rats in power are fabulously corrupt. Almost certainly the most corrupt administration ever.

We also know, again without any doubt, that Clinton is a felon. Maybe a so-far un-indicted, un-convicted felon, but there is no-doubt she is a multiple felon. None.

There is also little doubt that the Clintons lead a large crime syndicate with tremendous resources in terms of connections, money, reach, etc. About the only doubt here is are they the true leaders or just the power-face(s) while someone else pulls the strings.

It is almost certain (unless it is part of an act) that the Clintons - particularly Hillary - are in failing health.

We know now, again beyond any doubt, that the DNC rigged their own primaries. The DNC isn't above a few felonies themselves and rigging elections.

Much of Clinton Crime Inc.'s illegal activities are coming to light... Clinton has to win this election. Has to. She may not make it another 4 years. Heck, virtually any day she, Bill, Chelsea, or any number of others connected to the crime family could be served with warrants, subpoenas, even indictments. She needs the office and the power that goes with it to keep CCI rolling along.

With all that as a background I am sure, 100% sure, bet the house, the farm etc. that Clinton and the DNC are manipulating and trying to steal the election. No doubt, non whatsoever that they are right now, today, this minute engaged in election fraud. Yes, proving that is another matter.

Ok, that's the environment we're in. Believe some of it, believe all of it, or none of it. Doesn't matter, I'm convinced it's true. How does that tie into this thread of obviously false polling being reported by the MSM? Because the DNC and CCI are planning to steal the election. If the polling leading up to the election was truthful, and it showed Trump in a landslide, or even a significant/comfortable win... then all of a sudden Clinton wins? That would look suspicious, too suspicious. Some elements of the media might wake up. Some elements of the other branches of government, even the military might wake up and say wait just a minute here, we need to investigate this.

Obviously the DNC knows they're under scrutiny after their activities in the primary came to light. Whatever actions they are planning/taking to rig the election probably don't have a feedback/control mechanism. They can't make it "close" but ensure a win. So a sizable Trump lead going in and then a significant flip the other way would be far too obvious, a real problem. So they need semi-believable polling for the masses to consume that shows Clinton out in front. That way the results from their massive fraud will at least be nominally believable.

Our best hope as a nation is that Trump wins the real vote by such a wide margin that even the DNC's and CCI's massive election fraud efforts can't overcome it. That and/or enough information on the true nature of the race leads enough of the right people to start asking questions and taking action if CCI succeeds. Finally, just maybe, Trump's real lead will grow so large that the DNC's and CCI's efforts will become too obvious and the whole thing blows up in their faces before the election.

There are many here who pooh-pooh social media. Which is ironic because Free Republic is a form of social media.

Fact is, social media was a vital, perhaps deciding, factor in the election of Barack Obama the last two cycles. The Mitt Romney and John McCain campaigns were caught flat-footed in the social media sphere and their stabs at it were mostly awkward and ineffective.

The Trump campaign has mostly gotten it right. And yet there are many here clamoring to have Trump's cellphone taken away because they are horrified with the tweets and texts that emanate from it.

It can be argued that Trump's social media emissions (many of them nocturnal) has kept him dominating the news cycles -mostly in a negative way. But then, our media was going to go negative on Trump anyway. If you are going to get bad press, you might as well have some control over it and the ablility to strike back quickly.

Whenever a negative story breaks about Trump, I always go to his Twitter feed to get his side of the story. More often than not, Trump is right there with a rapid response. This is much different then it was with previous nominees - who allowed themselves to get battered by the media day after day.

Now that Steve Bannon is aboard the campaign, I expect the social media interaction with the people to explode over the next 10 weeks - completely circumventing traditional media outlets. In fact, I was thinking that we would have seen it already. Perhaps after Labor Day we get the big social media push.

I am thoroughly convinced that the media; all of the media; is lying about it. They do this because making it close is exciting. If Trump was blowing out Hillary and they report it, it isn’t exciting. People won’t watch. But if it is “close” it gets people interested.
All of the media are the enemy.
