Why to the Democrats hate Trump so much? And why do Republicans love him so much? I believe it all starts with another question, “Is Trump presidential?” I just returned from a White House visit. I attended the White House Hanukkah Party with President Trump. Liberals argue Trump isn’t “presidential.” They claim “he’s lowed the bar for presidential behavior.” Well actually, I witnessed the exact opposite on my trip to the White House. I was a witness to history. President Trump stood steps from me in the East Room to announce an Executive Order declaring Judaism no longer just a...

One poll could be an outlier, but when two resected polls find the same outcome, it’s time to realize that, most likely, something serious is going on. Rasmussen, whose own daily tracking poll revealed that 34% of black likely voters support President Trump, was initially cautious about interpreting that result, as this response to a tweet by Dineen Borelli shows:   So when Mrs. @deneenborelli - a friend & an engaged supporter of @realDonaldTrump today presents a snapshot of our privacy-focused daily likely voter results, please remember, not all survey samples & collection techniques are equal or comparable.
