The new Quinnipiac poll shows Trump now leading in 4-out-of-5 battleground states. Most of the polling was done before the FBI announced its email server decision. Do you know what else was happening during that time to influence polls?
Answer: Nothing
In other words, Trump didn’t do anything outrageous for a few weeks. That’s all he needs to do from here on out – more nothing – to win in a landslide. The “Crooked Hillary” harpoon he landed a few months ago is bleeding her out. Trump’s glide path to victory involves picking his cabinet and acting serious for a few months. That’s all it will take. (Expect a few mini-outrages just for fun.)

I wouldn’t entertain the thought of coasting. The Romulan did this after the first debate and el-presidente’ won. Trump needs to keep the pedal to the metal and not let up, the Hillczar won’t.
Yes from here on out I expect to see Trump steadily rise.
One thing for certain. By now it should be obvious Trump does not play to lose. No worries.

"All he's gotta do is coast, in neutral, for a landslide victory."
Hahahahahahaha, effin hahahahahaha!
Former freepers, now banned, and their ilk find them selves in good company with the likes of Juan Willams and his kind.
The mindless black violence sweeping the country will sweep Trump right on in the White House.
Interesting how the narrative changes from “He is doomed, reached the ceiling, gonna trip up any moment and spin out of control prior to crashing, knows nothing about campaigning, weak on everything, bombastic blowhard...”

It also helps that Trump has got a talent stack that towers over Hillary.
Even Sundance projected 73 million would show up to vote for Trump. The most Obama got was 69 million in 2008 and 66 million in 2012. Hillary won’t get nearly that much.
Even taking on Ginsburg is working out for him, as the NY Times just smacked her down in an editorial.
I really doubt that Johnson is much above 2% or Stein even half of one per cent.
However, both of them could actually take more votes from Clinton than Trump. The Libertarian vote would be the more problematic of the two, but if they can be portrayed as mainly interested in marijuana, that would tend to attract some Sanders type voters away from Clinton. The Green party obviously cuts into the college vote that would normally go to the Democrats, perhaps if they were portrayed as more likely to deliver on climate change than the Democrats, this would not likely affect the Trump vote but could cut into the Clinton totals.
Personally, I sense that this is Trump’s election to win or lose as he will appear stronger than the previous two alternatives, and up against a less able campaigner than the incumbent (although basically the same politics).
I’m not sure he can get to Reagan landslide territory but maybe a comfortable win as per Bush vs Kerry 2004.
And I think Gingrich is the best VP choice. Voters are going to be reassured by having somebody with a proven track record in national politics in Trump’s inner circle. Christie adds nothing and Cruz is probably not interested, and I don’t see him expanding the vote in the right direction necessarily. The Indiana governor did a good job and wouldn’t be a bad choice, but I think Gingrich probably adds the most.
The violent scenes from now until the election will be hundreds of millions of free advertising for Trump.
I think Gingrich would be a better chief of staff. He would be the puppet master there.
I am curious as to what sort of convention speech Trump will make. Has he ever made a prepared pre-written speech during the campaign, or does he always speak extemporaneously?
It would require more than that. All those groups would have to apologize, deny their support for Sharia/illegal immigration/anti-white lies, and support the Constitution.
... which isn't going to happen.
Trump will probably deliver a speech on a different topic every night.
I mean he’s like a TV star and wants to ditch the boring convention format and wants to play a bigger role in the proceedings.
The Democratic convention will be full of politicians and insiders.
Yawn.
That is NOT going to happen. He will keep his foot on the gas until election day.
I agree about Gingrich as chief of staff and have said so in another post.
I got a feeling I’m not going to get excited about Trump’s pick for VP.
The stilts holding up the market have to be straining like crazy.
320-330 Ev’s. sounds good to me.
