Why Donald Trump's poll numbers are surging
Politico ^ | May 20, 2016 | Steven Shepard

The Trump Bump has arrived.

After wrapping up an acutely fractious primary in which Donald Trump and his opponents lobbed scores of personal, playground insults at one another, the presumptive GOP nominee has quickly unified the vast majority of Republican voters around one goal: defeating Hillary Clinton, his prospective Democratic opponent.

The thought of having the Clintons back in the White House is totally sickening...the rapes, the scandals, the cheating, the lying, the stealing, everything is just over with them and the Bushes...

We want Trump and his family, we want a border; jobs for our people; health care for all Americans; we want to save our Second Amendment; we want to be at peace with our Nation, we want to improve our Military like we have never done before; we want to take care of our Veterans and Wounded Warriors, that have fought and died and came back without body parts to honor them like they are the Hero's they are...

We want to invite our foreign friends to the White House with a First Lady that has the grace and knowledge to be so proud of, of a President that says what he means and does what he says...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

Be careful.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

It’s going to be Biden.

Trump's poll numbers have not surged yet like I think they will when the general election is underway.

Trump's negatives are not as set as Clinton's. He will become more popular as low info people figure out he is not the ogre drive-bys claimed. I suspect the big surge will happen after he first debates her.

FOX announced today that 80% of RNC backed Trump. That is before he officially gets nomination and the convention

Even Rove pointed out the importance of NRA endorsement and how it will bring much grassroots support from I and D too

We owe it all to Mr. Trump...he is the one taking the heat and being stabbed in the back 24/7...I wish I could help him more, but just knowing that he knows I will support him 100% is enough for me!!!

We don’t want Biden either.

The thing about Trump is that he has a positive agenda not just criticism of Hillary.

If Trump sticks to upholding the rule of law, enforcement against fraudulently documented foreigners and the wall, he will win in a landslide.

The citizens have been waiting for someone to take their side against all the multi-national politicians selling us out.

It won’t be Hillary. I agree. I think it will be post-convention and nomination. Her VP choice will become the nominee. She will select Sanders as VP. Trump will be competing against Warren/Sanders.

I’d like to hear Trump take on the issues of our entitlement society and the wild increase in entitlement spending…..

Clinton was the known quantity while Trump had been heralded as a whacko. As people listen to him, as opposed as what the media says about him, they change their mind. No one is going to change their mind about hillary. Incidentally, the same think happened with Reagan in 1980.

NOT going to happen.

For one thing, it is too late, another thing is, he buried a son and now that he is taking a stand against cancer I do not believe he will run.

I disagree. If they don’t pick someone else at the convention, no way will she step down, even if she’s indicted. Not that she will be, even if the FBI recommends it. And once she has the nomination, what mechanism is there for the party to force her to? It’s now or never, and she’s all in no matter what.

...the rapes, the scandals, the cheating, the lying, the stealing,

You forgot the part where they had the military come in and burn children and women.

I vaguely remember something about the Criminal Clinton’s stealing the dishes, the silver, and the something about keys off the keyboards.

Trump is far from the ideal, but in this election, he’s the best man for the job at a very troubled time. We have the conniving thief/grifer wife of an impeached former president who himself is an accused rapist, degenerate, and general scumbag, running for, and with a real chance to win the Presidency. Trump, is the only one with the skills to take on the cabal of leftist scum media who are in the tank for her.
