Oh well then. I guess we don’t need to bother with an election.

Only polls showing trump winning are accepted by trump supporters.

HuffPo Poll. Yep, out of all the invalid polls, which all are, the HuffPo Poll is near the top of the list of most odious.

One thing Trump has going for him if he is the Nominee..

Sanders won’t be the one he has to compete with.

I wouldn’t be overly concerned about polls this far out, except that Trump has completely botched the past two months. He has utterly alienated everyone and has done his best to give everyone ammo to use against him. He’s also shown a complete lack of depth of knowledge on issue after issue. His core support is strong, but the rest has cratered. Not too optimistic, especially when the Clinton machine ramps up.

Take a look at RCP averages: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html

Trump is +10.4 average over seven current polls.

9 points? That's nothing, especially considering the huge enthusiasm gap.

That's actually great news for Donald Trump.

But let's not get in the way of a propaganda campaign...

I reckon the poll next Tuesday will give us some idea of what folks think of Donald Trump and what folks think of lyin cheatin illegal cruz the snake.

Do you get the idea that I think cruz is pond scum? It's worse than that.

Let’s wait until about September, when Trump will be giving the American public an education on Hillary, hitting her with everything from Whitewater to Vince Foster to Benghazi. We’ll see how the polls look then.

Vox? I find better news in my toilet.

Recent headlines from Vox:

Donald Trump’s rise is a scary moment in America

The rise of American authoritarianism

Hillary Clinton wants to end the loophole that lets disabled workers earn less than minimum wage

Everyone — even pro-lifers — hated Donald Trump’s abortion comments

Trump’s comments on Japanese nukes are worrisome — even by Trump standards

I seem to remember reading that Reagan trailed Carter at this point by about 25 points. How did that work out for the dems, who had actually opened champagne when Reagan got the nomination.

I think these polls are referring to his steady erosion nationally, losing badly to Clinton in the general, rather than relative to his primary opponents.

I gather we were not seeing a huffpo poll at all, if the article is accurate, we are seeing the results of the polls that huffpo tracks.

Some of which have been loved by Trump supporters, as long as they were showing donald on top.

Now they are all crap.

Watch the press coverage of Trump dry up at that point. He will need a shortwave radio or maybe buy a network.
