Swing-state stunner: Trump has edge in key states

There was good stuff earlier, but nothing recent.

Cruz, Ryan and many others could be helpful in assuring a victory - too bad they really don't give a hoot about being part of the saving of America unless they can be adored for being the ringleaders - can't trust any of them.

GO TRUMP!!!

Due respect to the purist thumbsuckers here(Ex Cruzbots) reservations, Pence is a solid pick for Donald. Conservative bona fides, knows the Hill, would shore up his right flank and would go against conventional wisdom that DT should pick a skirt or a minority. I like this choice if so. Even Uncle Levin yesterday praised Pence.

I do think Cruz and Ryan will ultimately support and campaign for DT. I think the momentum is with Trump now and will be through the Summer. Oblameo is out of control and his continued Tourette's idiocy at the Dallas Memorial has to make seasoned Democrat operatives cringe. This election its the Democrats working the old playbook 2008 style. Go hard Left, make promises and lemmings will vote for you and you win an election. Well they are learning the optics have changed, enough people see what HRC is about and want to no part of a Clinton\Obama third term. She's unlikeable, untrustworthy and just a str8 up witch. If she gets above 25% of all men she will be lucky, she's neither HOT, smart or agreeable to most men. Your basic tw*t ex-wife type.

If Trump wins all the states Romney won all he has to do is pick off a couple of Hillary’s states and depending on the states, Penn. for example would result in a smashing victory for Trump.

“Did Donald Trump really just surge past Hillary Clinton in two of the election’s most important battlegrounds? “

Gotta love it, politico! You just couldn’t stand to write the opening sentence as follows:

“Donald Trump just surged past Hillary Clinton in two of the election’s most important battlegrounds!”

Either you are not as smart as you claim to be (my choice), your memory is horrible (also my choice), or you're simply using a lie to cover just how wrong you were.

Which is it?

[nathanbedford]

No one can know which it is until you put some facts on the table.

[Lakeshark]

The facts are simple:

Back in the Spring, YOU were using the Cruzer talking point that Trump could NOT overcome the large (15-20%) polling deficit he had against Hillary.

I told you that Reagan was far worse at the same time relative to the election, and I congratulated Jimmy Carter for his second term. Having watched him ascend to the top of the R polls, I insisted it would be easy for him to close that gap if he were the nominee. YOU insisted he could never overcome his negatives, that he would never be able to come close to winning. YOU insisted Trump could never do what Reagan did, which is why we had to put in someone else.

YOU were wrong, I was right.

You might want to apologize for being such an ass (and you were), but you won't because of your arrogance, and you can't admit how wrong you were. And you were as wrong as one can possibly be, weren't you?

[Grampa Dave]

After Friday’s and the rest of the weekend of marches, destruction and harm to cops by Obama’s thugs, Black Liars, Trump will gain another 5 points in the real polls.

Iman Obama keep ordering your Black Liars Thugs to march and destroy America, and you will hand the election over to Trump.

Obozo, keep attacking the second amendment and make more Americans buy guns. 99.99999% of the new gun buyers will vote for Trump, as they know your surrogate Clintoon would destroy our 2nd amendment if she replaces you.

[castlegreyskull]

I completely agree. He can turn a few DNC strongholds, and while the arrogant Hillary machine is focused on fixing the ballots in Ohio, and Trump can swipe a couple others that she isn’t watching.

[Grampa Dave]

“Quinnipiac University show Trump leading Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania — and tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio.”

“Hillary is slipping back down into the toilet again.”

Lake shark, I hardly ever say "never" as you have repeatedly insisted that I have said. Indeed, you said it several times in this post alone.

Produce the reply substantiating those charges including the language you allege and I will deal with it. Meanwhile, I say you are making stuff up and chasing me all over the forum with false and misleading allegations.

I say you are making stuff up and chasing me all over the forum with false and misleading allegations.

Pinging you to a thread that proves you were wrong last Spring is hardly "chasing you all over the forum". As to misleading and false, not so, not at all. Our exchange happened much as I said, it happened not too many weeks before you were originally banned, and per my last post you're simply too arrogant to admit you were wrong.

Have at it, frankly I don't really care, I'm happy we have a candidate strong enough to beat Madame Secretary the Stalinist, it's one of several reasons I switched from supporting Cruz to Trump in January. I hope you can be too.

Hillary Clinton’s margins in the popular vote are padded by overwhelming margins in the metro New York City, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and Los Angeles areas.

“The stakes literally are high with this election.”

Like the corn in OKLAHOMA, as high as an elephant’s eye.

[RipSawyer]

All that stuff you heard about how all the ladies will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman is all garbage. When they enter the voting booth they DON’T want a woman. If they did Hillary would be the one finishing her second term now instead of trying to win her first.
