I smell a media rat: Obama/McCain 08, Obama/Romney 12, Clinton/Trump 16, all tied in August polls
Gallup, Yahoo News

Does anyone else smell a very large MEDIA RAT with these back and forth polls, now showing, in the late summer, Clinton and Trump tied?

Remember Obama and McCain in 08: http://www.gallup.com/poll/109564/Gallup-Daily-McCain-Obama-Tied-44.aspx

How 'bout Obama and Romney in 12: https://www.yahoo.com/news/likely-voters-show-obama-romney-tied-race-white-101234519.html

If we had an honest media, that ALT Right speech was her Kahn moment, if fact, it was worse then that because she accused half of America as being racists. Something I never thought I would see from a national campaign

She jumped the political shark that day

Just remember - it’s not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes.

The Sanders primary really hurt Hillary - she is not an inspiring candidate and he was the one generated energy and enthusiasm. It was rigged and that pissed a lot of people off who are not falling into line with her as expected. Young people generally don’t like her or Trump, but the typical GOP vote does not rely on the young so that hurts Hillary more than Trump. On top of that, Trump’s efforts to win over the rat coalition - minority votes, union voters, anti-war voters, etc, are showing signs of success. He is coming across as inclusive despite the usual media dog-whistling routines. All he needs to do is win a small amount of support among those groups and it completely changes the swing states.

Hillary is capped on support - her message is a bland repeat of the same crap - different year. I don’t know how that will play with the mushy undecideds. She is counting on the same get out the vote machine with a relatively depressed vote in key areas that propelled Obama to an easy victory. Based on the primaries I think there will be far more voters this year than we have seen in the past election cycles. One has to think that creates optimism in the Trump camp and creates problems for the polls of likely voters we are seeing.

The scandals are starting to pile up on Hillary as the media wall of silence begins to crack. Hillary is barely visible. With that said, I absolutely believe she can still win (my arguments for him withstanding) because she is a Corrupt insider, she has a huge number of guaranteed rat machine votes, and the house wins the tie.

With that said, Trump is coming off one of the best weeks I have ever witnessed and even the lamestream media is acknowledging it.

I’m not sure it’s fair to link the media to the image of a rat. Rats have more class than the media’s verity of rodent.

Channeling Robin Williams.......

Scientist are considering lawyers as test subjects to replace mice and rats. Because there are things that mice and rats won’t do.

Recall during the primaries that Albright chastised women voters by telling them, ‘if you don’t vote for Clinton, you are going to hell.’

Just a week or so ago, Carville (IIRC) headlined a similar threat: ‘if you don’t vote for Clinton, you are going to hell.’

It’s almost as if Trump flipped a switch, and folks now see at least Hillary in the light. Hopefully they’ll wise up to the whole Leftist machine.

Some do, yes.
“I would like to vote for Trump, but nobody else likes him so I won’t ...”
PLUS the
“Everybody like (loves!) Hillary so I need to love her too!”
PLUS the
“Everybody knows Trump is a crooked racist, biased, homophobic white racist homophobe, but Hillary has never been convicted of anything despite the lies everybody tells about her for soooooo long, so I will vote for Hillary because she is NOT a racist, biased, homophobic male bigot who hates women .....”
PLUS the
“Hillary has been waiting soooooooooo long and she has all that “national security experience” in all those important Washington jobs for sooooo long that Trump (who is a racist biased homophobic white male bigot who got us in all of the wars already that Hillary has always opposed) ...”

Yes. You’ve got 3-7 percent right there. And that 3% is ALL that Hillary has got going for her right now.

August is typically the worst polling month for Republicans; they are all on vacation or starting up school until after labor day.
