Trump Converting Democrats, Poll Shows
Newsmax ^ | 17 July | John Gizzi

Posted on 07/17/2016 5:54:51 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Donald Trump may be winning converts from an unlikely source — Democrats — a new unpublished poll shows.

What's more, according to the poll, Trump is tied with Hillary — and in fact, the Republican candidate is within striking distance in several historically Democratic states.

Sources I interviewed said the poll was conducted by the Harper Polling Firm for the U.S. Senate campaign of GOP State Rep. Dan Carter.

The as-yet published poll shows Trump tied with Clinton — each with 43 percent — in heavily Democratic Connecticut.

"Every time John Ellis Bush or Willard Romney condemns Trump, a normally anti-Republican voter is recruited."

So true. And, he is, and has demonstrated in the primary he gets votes from people that haven't felt inspired to vote in years.

We will see I suppose. In the last few days I have heard more of Democrats and Sanders supporting Trump than GOP establishment that have been swayed by Pence.

Win as many states as possible by as much as possible. Rub their faces in it. Destroy them.

It’s always been a lie that conservatives want to control people’s lives.

The RATs are the control freaks. Right straight out of their bible...the Kommunist Manifesto.

Has the word gone out to the BLM and assorted anarchists to dial it way back? The rats have to know that the more outrages their mayhem, the more it creates Trump voters.

They can’t help themselves. Like the jihadis. Like the ayatollah cockamamie didn’t help Jimmy Carter’s poll numbers much.

Trump is appealing to the blue collar voter that has been sitting out elections since 1992.

Free Trade sucks. Globalism sucks. It has been all lies since NAFTA was passed and they are responding to someone telling the truth.

Ryan is a lying snake. He, like Boner before him, will lie his arse off to get reelected, and then jump right back to being open borders, pro-amnesty, anti-Trump. Vote the scumbag out!

A few close Republican friends of mine who recoiled at Trump a few months ago have become ardent supporters now.

Another is heading over.

Anecdotal yes, but I’m sensing something bigger here.

Oh is my face red. I'm hyperventilating. I have the vapors. I posted my comment tongue in cheek, knowing that Ryan is all the things you people have posted about him. You took me seriously? Really? Oh, Oh, Oh, some smelling salts please. I have to retreat to a safe space now.

Cantor tried that too, he failed because we knew he was a lying weasel, like Ryan.
My mailbox was filled with Cantor mailings filled with lies.

Do you think many rank and file union members will vote Trump? I do.

You get a better feel for what libs are going to do than most.

Thanks.
