Yes, because those damn Republicans have 300 million guns.
I wouldn’t want it any other way. ;>)
Despite adverse public polling, political science research considers the enthusiasm gap between Trump and Clinton supporters as a highly reliable indicator of a Trump victory. In addition, private, trusted RNC and Trump polls may show Trump closing the gap.
For one, they know that staying upbeat is more infectious than constantly fretting about "concerns".
I'd wager that they also know what we all know - the polls are rigged and he's doing much better than most realize - I'd wager that if they leaked a lot of their internals they'd have to worry about Trump supporters getting complacent.
If IBD weighted D+2 instead of D+8 which is more in line with the electorate, Trump would be up 8 points right now!
If one side conducts internal polls showing the real numbers, wouldn’t the other side do the same? Ergo, wouldn’t the bitter opposition know the same thing you know?
The bottom line is each side wants to know the truth. The polls are used to herd the sheep. This is a different time. The real numbers should be put out. If Trump is way behind then tell us and let’s work harder. If he’s winning then tell us and let’s stay the course.
We know that if Trump were to release his true numbers the press wouldn’t cover it. So he’d have to do it on the internet and in ads. If his numbers are not encouraging then I can see him trying to get out the vote. But at this point I don’t believe anyone who supports Trump is not going to vote. So, he needs to be truthful about it, good or bad.
