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.

13 weeks post convention to election is not enough time for them to put on any resemblance of a campaign.

The internet has made the main stream media weak. They can’t lie constantly to the low info folks and get away with it. Low info folks have free internet.

I don’t see her getting there either...

Here is a prediction...Western Illinois University has done a study, poll, or vote(?) since 1976 with not one wrong prediction...

Last fall their winner was Sanders...VP O’Malley possible

Interesting isn’t it.

You have it right. We have a communist party running our federal government. Hillary is a member. No laws apply to these people.

We may be watching the death of the republic. It may take 30 years, but it’s here. 20 trillion debt and a full scale invasion of hostile immigrants with no intention to work, it will go belly up.

The people know it.

We knew what was happening and that is why the FR Inaugural ball was named “Count the Silverware Ball”.

They only returned a small amount but it was thousands of dollars worth. The famous Chilhuly bowl was not returned. I wonder how many other gifts to the American people they claimed for themselves?

I am very pleased. I have been on the Trump train for a long time now. I love seeing more folks jump on the Trump train, BUT I WILL NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use the term “TOOOOT TOOOOOOOOT”. Nope, I draw the line. ;>)

Trump may be much closer to the ideal than you imagine. Watch and see how he fine tunes his positions and continues to draw the middle class into the party.

It is very much time to have a Trump like leader in the party and in the WH.

If the DNC found a way to dump Hillary Clinton, could they find someone who could beat Trump? I can’t think of a Democrat who could out campaign Trump.

Trump is just what Republicans need. He can expose the ABC networks for their liberal bias making them less influential. Most people do not trust the people reporting the news, because of their liberal bias.

Imagine a President Trump Press Conference. "Sit down and shut up femboy!" LOL

I think Trump's interviews have helped. Not so "bombastic"

The thing I don’t see is how Biden overcomes the berntards or mounts a coherent campaign against Trump. Biden may be wily but it’s only effective with the like of Ryan or other GOPe weenies. If Biden starts up something with Trump, Trump will respond “Did you plagiarize that statement, too?” I don’t think the rats are prepared for someone who fights back.

It always comes down to who counts the votes.

Trump or Bust

My theory is that just as Ted Kennedy was forever a bought and sold man after Chappaqidic, Biden has been a bought and sold man ever since the plagiarism charge. The only way either one of them could have continued their careers after falling from grace, was by selling their souls to the devil. You have to wonder how many of them are fully compromised.

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

His endorsement by the NRA (earliest ever) and his talk to them yesterday will certainly help some of the "undecided" decide that he's not only safe to endorse/support but the most preferred candidate since Reagan........

I think after this election season, it looks like just about all of them...
