FOX NEWS POLL: Trump tops Clinton in head-to-head matchup, both seen as deeply flawed candidates
Foxnews.com ^ | 5/18/16 | Dana Blanton

Donald Trump tops Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, according to a new Fox News Poll that also finds majorities of voters feel both frontrunners lack strong moral values and will say anything to get elected.

Trump has a 45-42 percent edge over Clinton, if the presidential election were held today. That’s within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Last month, Clinton was up by 48-41 percent (April 2016).

Have we ever heard of a Republican candidate that wasn’t deeply flawed? If God represented the party, the media would report that He was flawed.

Trump’s lead is only going to increase. Hillary brings nothing new. Trump is inoculated against almost every false charge thanks to the primary. Hillary has NEVER been seriously challenged in any election. Never. Now she’s finding out what it means to go against someone who really opposes her.

I only see one flawed candidate.

Deeply flawed.

And it is not Trump.

A deeply flawed successful business man outsider causing an insurrection or a deeply flawed under investigation career pig-at-the-trough politician with Middle Eastern donor backers.

Hmmmmm What to do, what to do?

Trump 2016!

Welll, Hillarys anal stuff is going to hit the fan soon in theatres all across America, and this will again be a campaign where Donald Trump doesn;t spend any more, but lets the opponent do all of the advertising. It should be good. This is real Hope and Change..at last.

Paul Manafort called it a month or so ago. Both Trump and Crooked Hillary have high negatives, but Trump’s are about personality (style) which can be corrected. Crooked Hillary’s are about character (substance) which can’t be.

I remember Megyn Kelly mocking the Rasmussen poll with such snark when it showed Trump tied. It turned out to be the canary.

There is no such thing as a perfect person. ANY and ALL candidates will be flawed. Best to choose the person who best handles your priorities. My choice is
Trump!!!!!!

Trump’s flaw:

Not a kiss-ass toady to the RINO donors. Breaks FAR too many ricebowls.

Good for him.

If Hillary falls further then the Justice Department will indict her, so the Donk Party can put up the candidate of their choosing... But they have to wait until after the convention, otherwise they’ll be stuck with Bernie.

Breaks FAR too many ricebowls.

Too many guacamole bowls, too.

Trump is no where as deeply flawed as Bill Clinton was as a candidate. Problem was the lib media didn’t care!

I think if Trump had a flaw it was that he didn’t have a true political organization put together earlier in the season. I think the Manafort factor has been Yuge! His organization quickly outflanked and smashed the Cruz organization that everyone had praised early in the season. Trump put some effort into creating what he never had created before and he made the brilliant choice of Manafort to be the executive in charge.

That is what he has now that he didn’t have early on. And that is why this tremendous change up in the general election has taken such a quick and decisive turn...and is also why it won’t turn back.
