That’s the only poll showing him ahead, he’s losing even in the Fox News poll for crying out loud!

Dry your eyes, sunshine!
And more polls are coming out showing Trump failing. Including one showing him with a whopping 0 support among African-Americans in Iowa. Trump stinks, Trump sinks.
As one that apparently likes to empower polls taken in July for a November election like you do, I can understand your angst. The current trend has Mrs. Cankles losing in a landslide. You are gonna be fun to watch until November!
Polls from this time are always used to judge a candidate, always have been and always will be.
You mean the current trend that has Trump losing Colorado and Virginia? Trump is losing, and not slowly either. And so is the GOP unless the delegates nominate somebody else.
Current trend is that Mrs. Cankles is dropping in the polls even after outspending The Donald 40 to 1 in advertising money in them battleground states. Kind of sounds like what happened in the GOP primary, don’t it? By the time November rolls around, she might have to draw out every cent that she and Slick Willie were able to extort into that Clinton Crime Family Foundation! Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
The current trend is defined by all of the polls, Trump is losing around 7 out of 10. And the media hasn’t even begun to hit Trump yet, nor have the Democrats campaign staff in the swing states. Trump has enough crap in his background to play non-stop until November and no organization in the swing states to defend him.
Since polls are your life, you might want to pay better attention, princess. The Donald has been assaulted non-stop by the media and the likes of Jeb and the other 15 or so GOP candidates since he jumped in the race. The Donald has spent nothing compared to those losers and is making a hysterical Shrillary spend like a drunken sailor. No disrespect to drunken sailors intended. Can hardly wait for the convention show next week along with the bump that always comes in the polls. Regardless, The Donald is our only hope at this point to stop the Evil One.

You’re accusing me of taking polls too seriously in a discussion about polls on a blog post about polls? Yeah, I’m just gonna leave that one out there.
That’s not accurate. All the candidates spent weeks avoiding firing at Trump because they didn’t want to offend his supporters. Case in point, Ted Cruz was blasted continuously by Rubio supporters for trying to befriend Trump supporters before he won Iowa.
And all the candidates spent a tremendous amount of their time on each other, as well as Trump. See Ted Cruz versus Marco Rubio and Chris Christie versus everybody for emphasis.
Trump has a massive, and I do mean massive, list of corruption allegations against him that the mainstream media hasn’t throughly touched. The Trump University fraud case? Is it on the news every single night? Why not? Romney’s garage was on there for weeks.
How about the allegations from an underage girl that Trump raped her?
His admission of cheating contractors out of their full wages?
Imagine these things on repeat, night after night, and more coming out besides. Blasting Trump? Nobody, in spite of what Trump has been whining about, has even begun to lob fire at him yet.
Alas, you were the one crying about the polls at the beginning of this thread, princess. I’m just pointing out that The Donald is trending very well at this point in the game, especially with the Hildebeast outspending him 40 to 1. He is our only hope, regardless.
On a thread about polls I’m not supposed to talk about polls? Again, just leaving that out there.
Trump has 75% negatives, and two dozen companies pulled out of the GOP convention because of him, not to mention his actual fundraising numbers are terrible, add that to the fact that he has no campaign in several key swing states? Trump is nobody’s hope, he’s a big nope.
People of your ilk should try to relax. With the current trend showing The Donald is gonna win, and win big, you don’t want to get yourself so worked up that your head explodes. I’m truly trying to look out for you my crazy, obtuse friend.
Like I said, the current trends don’t show that. I also notice that you dodged making an answer to my points, for this post and the one before that.
The only point that should matter to anyone with a brain is whether The Donald will be better at running this country than Mrs. Cankles. We know what both say on the issues and The Donald clearly has a better vision for our country. Funny, that people of your ilk made the same type of excuses as The Donald ran away with the GOP nomination, beating at least 10 very good opponents. I can only try to prepare you for what will obviously be a shock to your slow to understand mentality.
How will Trump be better? Planned Parenthood? He flipped. Taxes? Flipped. Muslim ban? Flipped? The wall? It’s now a virtual wall, he flipped. Trump has taken every side on every position, we don’t know what he’ll do because he changes his opinion every day.
Trump faced a divided field, like a divided field, they crumbled due to fighting one another. Rather like how Mitt Romney faced a divided field until it was too late.
And you’re still dodging answering any of my points or actually defending Trump, instead you’re attacking the Democrats, Conservatives, me, the rest of the GOP field, etc. Defend Trump on his own merits and virtues if that is possible. “He’s not as scummy as the other guy” isn’t a defense of him, especially when it isn’t true.
I’ve watched many of his speeches and he has been consistent on the issues that concern me including building that wall. BTW, Mexico will be paying for that wall. If you truly want a clue, all you have to do is look at the campaign websites for the clear differences in the two. We know Shrillary will follow through on her promises resulting in a disaster for our country. That is a known, and yes, I will attack anyone that would support such a thing.
I’ll put my trust in the one that has received more votes in a GOP presidential primary than any other candidate in history. Isn’t it impressive that he accomplished that feat with such a large and divided field of candidates? Don’t be too surprised when he takes the Hildebeast down, my crazy, willfully uninformed friend.
No he has not. Trump flipped on abortion multiple times in one day.
If it’s a virtual, as in nonexistent, wall like Trump and his team are saying now? Mexico would pay for it with virtual money.
Support Hillary? No. Regard Trump has just as much of a Democrat, just as corrupt, as her? Yes. I’ve gotten the whole “You want Democrats to win” argument several times now. It never held any weight before and it won’t now.
And more votes against Trump than any other nominee as well. More votes were cast for other candidates but they were split against each other as I’ve already said. And in spite of the heavily divided field, Trump finished a plurality instead of a majority. It isn’t impressive to take down a field of people shooting at one another by getting a plurality, that’s, to be blunt, easy.
Trump has done nothing worthy of support, from me or anyone else. His positions have changed multiple times, he has insulted women, minorities, and the handicapped. No, no I do not find Trump impressive in the slightest, and I’m not going to start.
Do you actually pay attention to what you type? The Donald just picked a pro-life VP for goodness sake! I sure would like to see what your definition of “impressive” is, cause his record setting primary, all done with a minimum in spending, might impress most people with commons sense.

And? That changes what he did? No. John McCain also tried to cover himself by picking someone more pro-life, didn’t work, Palin flamed straight out. It doesn’t work here either, because Pro-lifers and other such groups remember how tepid Pence was during the religious freedom arguments. His track record on actually doing what he said he will do on social issues is weak.
Impressive is someone who holds to their convictions, morals, doesn’t budge, espouses and lives by their values, and wins without blatantly slandering their opponents. By the way, is Ben Carson still just like a child molester according to Trump? Or did Trump change that after Carson endorsed him? If so, why? And if he thought Carson really was that bad, why accept his endorsement? Either he was outright slandering him, in which case he was lying openly, or his morals are so feeble that he’ll accept someone he views as horrific on his team for the sake of gaining more influence.
Impressive is someone who has merits that can be defended by their voters. Not someone who flip-flops like this.
Trump’s campaign went into debt in the primary. And by the way, according to the campaign’s tax returns, he did not self-fund.
Impressive!

Positions he has all flipped on, as I’ve already said. The wall? It would be virtual. Abortion? Flipped 3 times in one day. Travel ban? Flipped. Healthcare? He’s in favor of single payer, AKA just-as-bad-as-Obamacare. Guns? He’s flipped. Israel? Flipped. Trade? Flipped, against free trade I might add.
The fact of the matter is that Trump flat-out isn’t trustworthy. He has changed his positions or outright lied to his audience, something he admitted to with his term “truthful hyperbole,” which is saying what his audience wants to hear at that time in order to get what Trump wants.
The Donald: “We grieve for the officers killed in Baton Rouge today,” he wrote on Facebook. “How many law enforcement and people have to die because of a lack of leadership in our country? We demand law and order.”
IMPRESSIVE!
