"In a race marked by wide gender, age and racial gaps, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are running neck and neck in the key presidential Swing States of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania."

Trump has presented a very nuanced message. He says he is conservative, but he’s saying he’s not necessarily “A Conservative”. This could open the door for him for New York and New Jersey.
The facts of the matter are: 1. In the event there is a National Election to be held on the first Tuesday in November, 2016 there will be a minimum of two candidates. One Republican, one Democrat. As it now stands, the Democrat candidate will be Hillary Clinton. The Republican candidate will be Donald Trump. If the future is to be predicted by the past, one of these will be elected President. Judging by what they post on here, there are many on here that would prefer a Hillary Presidency over a Donald Trump Presidency. Why is this? I do not know, one would have to ask them. But at this point in time, it is their privilege. If Hillary gets in, she will probably change that. From listening to both Hillary and Trump, Hillary comes across as wanting to destroy, destroy, destroy. Trump is build and restore.
The choice of which candidate they prefer has been made by most. And the philosophies of both candidates are clear. There are no gray areas.
The “Morning Joe” and FBC(Megan McCain and some Leftist named Julie)morons said Trump has no way in the world of raising enough money to compete against Hillary Clinton. Trump has no chance, women hate him, etc., etc.
************************************************************
Consider the source and then ask yourself this, what else can they say? would you expect them, given their history, too extol Trumps chances? These are the same people who said Trump would be out of the Primaries by last June.
Something else to consider. We have never had a candidate from either Party as wealthy as Donald Trump. If as is being claimed it will take 1.5 BILLION dollars to fund a successful campaign and Trump has already signaled he is willing to indeed fund his, then being a BILLIONAIRE himself he can if so inclined do it himself. Now I don’t think for a second he would find it necessary to dump in the entire 1.5 Billion himself since he will raise a ton of money on his own from folks like you and I. So the potential shortfall can easily be managed by Trump in the form of a loan to the campaign.
The majority of money raised goes into advertising in the form of commercials and ads for the candidate which are intended to raise his/her visibility and promote their agenda. Trump has succeeded amazingly in this regard and he has done it all for FREE due too his knack for leading the press around by the nose and getting them to cover him on a continuing basis. Don’t think the Liberals are not aware of this. We saw Clinton on TV only recently almost pleading with the press to stop giving Trump all the coverage he is getting and instead wants them to investigate his back ground (dig up dirt). meanwhile we learn that Clinton has shut herself off from the press and the public so she will not be “embarrassed” by inconvenient questions such as was posed at her recent appearance in W.Va.
Of course I have no crystal ball but the one thing I do know. The Left is scared and scared shi*less of Trump and of his claimed objective of “America First” and “Make America great again”. Simply put there is no effective way to counter this agenda and yet Clinton can NOT come out and agree with either of these goals of Trump.
I hate to quote Carville, but it’s still “the economy, stupid” that wins elections.

Absolutely!! And in this area Trump annihilates Clinton when looking at polling. Nationwide he is preferred by 5% and in the hugely populated NE he is favored by 25% (twenty five percent.
I watched Morning Joe a few times, a couple of weeks ago and they seemed pretty pro-Trump.....wonder what’s happened.
And Trump almost always does better than polls predict.
I don’t think FL is going to be close at all, Trump will destroy Hillary there.
He’ll win OH, PA will be tough.
And he's just gotten started with her. By summertime, she'll be in the dust.
He will...I’m betting on it!
That Trump headline poll for Florida was a lil deceptive.
Spanish speaking households polled showed the following
Trump 36 hc 36.
Shouldn’t that be the headline?
Quelle surprise!!
Thanks for pointing out a relevant internal.
Polls now are meaningless but I guess it’s better to have it close than not. What is the thinking of a Rand Paul for VP? Yes, neo cons will hate it but it seems like they are going to hate Trump no matter what. He has been speaking to inner city issues and can signal a real change in the party.
Morning Joe has been more than fair to Trump since he got in last June.
I think Mika has a thing for trump too, she’s awfully sweet on him.
Just as I never took the polls that had Cankles up over Trump seriously I can’t take this poll seriously either. It’s just too early. Come September they will really mean something...or not lol
Vote Trump 2016
That is great news and so early!!!
What people do not understand is....Obama called ALL Americans horrible names for last 8 years. Racist, cowards, arrogant etc......... and went around the world apologizing for us.....tried to bring back full blown racism.....sided with every enemy we have.......trashed the economy. Did the Dems not think that Independents, and regular Democrats would notice? I am sorry but everyday hard working Dem loves this country too.....and the Commies told every white man in America to basically go away and DIE! This will be America’s PAYBACK.
“I believe they will go full scorched earth.”
If you were preparing for this, what would you do exactly?
He has to win Ohio and Florida, but if he has Pennsylvania in play, she is cooked.
Cooked in part in a coal oven of her own making.
People don’t want Hillary. I know Trump’s failure to be a Cruz conservative troubles many, but Trump is brilliant about winning the election despite tough demographics.
You are probably correct......but if I was the Democrat Party and POTUS, Obama....I would getting Joe “Plugs” Biden ready to jump in and replace Hillary Clinton as the Democrat candidate for POTUS!!! Without fanfare...Hillary is the worst candidate the Democrat Party could have offered up.
Forgetting her many political shortfalls....this woman is in ill health, vastly overweight, has no energy, can barely handle one rally per day, has horrible, ugly bags under her eyes and, waddles, rather then walks across the stage!!! She may be fit for just one job, being a Grandma....and, I am not too sure about that!!!
Thing is that the Crisis of 08, Bush in the WH. In 2012, Obama is there. Soros can’t do s**t this time cause Obama will be blamed
Yep. I think they knew this all along.
Trump has more votes than any other Republican ever and we still have more States to vote! This is not debated. Record numbers of people are registering Republican and voting for Trump. Trump has thousands at all his rallies. Again this is not even.
At the very same time Democrat turn out is down by 30 to 40%. Hillary is luck if she can get 100 people to show up even to 1 of her rallies. This is not debated too.
Now I’m suppose to believe the race is neck and neck and not a blow out?
Could it be the media trying to making this still a race in order to keep their ratings up. In order to keep people interested in the 2016 Presidential election?
Based on everything I have heard it’s going to be a blow out. Trump Will be the next POTUS.
