Don’t look now: Donald Trump has all the momentum in the 2016 race
The Washington Post's The Fix ^ | September 14, 2016 | Chris Cillizza

Something very interesting has happened over the past two weeks in the presidential campaign: Donald Trump has seized the momentum from Hillary Clinton and is climbing back into contention in both national and key swing state polling.

New polls released over the past 24 hours confirm this momentum. In Ohio, Trump leads Clinton by five points in a new Bloomberg Politics poll and a similar five in a CNN poll. In Florida, Trump has a three-point lead on Clinton. In Nevada, Trump has a two-point edge, according to a Monmouth University survey. And in the latest weekly tracking poll from NBC and Survey Monkey, Clinton's national lead has shrunk to just four points. In the RealClearPolitics polling average of all national surveys, Clinton's lead has shrunk to two points over Trump....

This will be known as the Trump Tsunami. The Left will explode in violence. We’ll be waiting for them. Accounts will be Settled.

There are indications he is polling up to 30 percent of the black vote in places...and if THAT is happening, there isn’t a single polling outfit that has the right mix to get a true poll except by total accident.

There are millions and millions of people who do not vote, and haven’t voted at all or in forever...if even a fraction of them show up....

Yep the sleeping giant vote. Godzilla will rise and Stomp and Stomp and stomp and breathe fire against the establishment. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

What do you mean?

In most states, (thanks to the libs) all they have to do is show up on Election Day and say, "Hi. I'm Fred Astaire, and I'd like to vote please."

If Trump gets 15% he wins going away. Twenty to twenty-five and not only is it a blowout but we might actually made headway into the black community and get them on the right track...if it’s possible at this point.

It must have been difficult for liberal Chris Clitoris to admit this about Trump.

Expect Obama to create some distracting emergency to refocus the voter’s attention. Expect the fake emergency to be something he and Illery can blame on the GOP.
Maybe some famous lib will have a Zika Baby, and she will blame Congress.

Donald Trump has seized the momentum from Hillary Clinton and is climbing back into contention in both national and key swing state polling...and the really good news is that now Hillary is going to have to compete in and defend a good number of swing states that she was probably counting on easily being in her column before - and she's not up to it - she can barely get through one campaign event of a half hour or so every couple of days - hubby Bill looks half dead himself and Kaine is about as exciting a campaigner as a cantaloupe - it's going to be a long 50 days for team Clinton....

And a lot of them are registering to vote. There are going to be long lines at voting stations.

There’s no emergency, real or fake, that would not look like Trump was out in front of Obama and Obama and Hillary were weak. Natural disaster? Trump went to Baton Rouge, Obama was a day late and a dollar short, Hillary still hasnt been there. Terrorist attack? Trump will own Obama and Hillary. Failure of power grid? Trump trumps them...financial collapse? Trump owns them on that, too. Nope, he just has to stay healthy, focused and on message and it ought to be a short election night.

Data point: My 5th grader told me in the Spring that all of the kids in her class hated Trump. Last week she told me all of the kids in her class love Trump.

I am assuming the kids are getting this from their parents. This is in New Jersey, by the way.
