Blue State Blues: Keep Calm, And Let Trump Be Trump
Breitbart.com ^ | June 17, 2016 | Joel B. Pollak

Donald Trump is down big in the polls — after a week that ought to have lifted his presidential prospects. First, the Orlando terror attack proved his warnings about Islamic terror to be correct, sadly. Then, Hillary Clinton — whom he shamed into saying, finally, “radical Islamism” — tried to exploit the attack for Democrats’ gun control agenda, a gambit that has backfired repeatedly. Next, President Barack Obama himself lost his temper at Trump, temporarily uniting Republicans behind their likely nominee.

I agree. It is absolutely necessary Trump double down on the racist meme that will haunt him. I see it and hear it everyday.

I apologize here to all Freepers for my clumsy thumb typing on a small phone.

If you all are buying the b/s that Trump is going to lose you are doing exactly what the Dem’s want widening any potential rifts between non-liberal groups. Pretty much this is the only chance the libs have. Trump will win in a landslide otherwise.

“The polls haven’t been released yet.”

A few have been released and they are bad news for Trump. They show Hillary opening up a sizable lead and 0bamas approval rating soaring. It appears the nation is rallying around the Democrats. Very upsetting.

It’s the Bloomberg poll that was plus 12 that skewed things this week. New Gravis poll TODAY has Trump & Clinton tied.

Remember Bloomberg is a very liberal polling company.

I can’t say the “country won’t recover” because clearly, if Trump loses, more than half of the country wants this type of government. They are certainly voting for it.

Is your gripe with saying Trump will lose because it weakens his chances or actually believing Trump will lose?

I am not calling the election either way, yet. But Trump could lose, your gripe seems to be with saying he will lose, because this country has crossed a rubicon. Well over half this country makes its living over the remainder. That majority plus owes its living to the party of government i.e. the Democratic Party. Everyone who insist Trump will not or cannot lose will help him lose.

Elections are not won via the “Think Method” or the “Power of Positive Thinking”. Believing in the inevitability of a Trump win will not make it so.

If you support Trump then understand how he could indeed lose this election and help prevent that from happening. As it stands this will be a very close thing.

You can support Trump and still think he will lose.

The polls after the first debate are important to get a sense of who is getting their message across to the likely voters.

The polls that are within a week to a few days before the November election will solidify to a more exact outcome.

This election will be so close, almost a 50 - 50 between Clinton and Trump.

The felons, illegals, and deceased will probably have more of a say in the election results than in past years.

Please God help us to bring our America back from the brink of destruction.

I don’t discount polls, but for instance, those NBC/Wall Street Journal polls this past year that trashed Trump were agenda polls, total frauds as proved when Trump over-performed them in every state.

I see a very, very big turnout by the Trump supporters on Election Day. Also concerns will be very big in regards to possible voter fraud. That is why there are organizations now and those that will be formed to fight and prevent voter fraud.

The issue of concern will be possible massive voter fraud. That is why it is going to be very important to use smartphones to detect possible voter fraud.

With or without war the country needs to break into two. The socialists can have one half and normal Americans can have the other half. Trying to live together in one country is worse than war. There can be no reconciliation as the two philosophies are mutually exclusive. There is no middle ground.

Being a racist is not the problem.
Being portrayed as a racist with a soundbite of Trump’s very own words is the problem. He gaffed. The enemy will be relentless. Trump has to reveal the real racism and prove he himself is not a racist. Unfair? Yes. But we live in a ruthless, unfair political climate. PC to the max.

The left will do this no matter what

Herschel walker endorsed Trump at the Atlanta rally. More blacks will vote Trump than any other republican in a long time. Legal immigrant’hispanucs’ are going for trump.

Truth is the only folks who believe the label are leftists regardless of color. You ain’t going to get them anyway.

Even with the DiC campaigning the African Ametican vote will not be what it was for O
