In the past few news cycles, it seems like the mainstream media folks have been trying to one-up one another with polls showing the gun-hating Hillary having a big and growing lead over the gun-loving Donald Trump – and how Trump’s campaign is imploding.
First, it was FoxNews on August 3:
Fox News Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 10 points, both seen as flawed
(FoxNews) – Sixty-one percent of voters think Hillary Clinton is dishonest, yet she’s opened up a big lead over Donald Trump in the latest Fox News Poll.
Here’s why: majorities think Clinton is nevertheless qualified to be president, and has the temperament and knowledge to serve effectively. It’s the opposite for Trump: over half feel he is not qualified, and lacks the temperament or knowledge to lead the country. And his 62 percent dishonesty rating tops hers.
After the conventions, the Clinton-Kaine ticket leads the Trump-Pence ticket by 10 points (49-39 percent) in the race for the White House. Clinton’s advantage is outside the poll’s margin of error. A month ago, Clinton was up by six points (44-38 percent, June 26-28).
The next day, McClatchyDC reports a ludicrous 15-point lead for Hillary.
Clinton surges to big lead in McClatchy-Marist poll
(McClatchyDC) – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has surged to a 15-point lead over reeling, gaffe-plagued Republican Donald Trump, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
Clinton made strong gains with two constituencies crucial to a Republican victory – whites and men – while scoring important gains among fellow Democrats, the poll found.
Clinton not only went up, but Trump also went down. Clinton now has a 48-33 percent lead, a huge turnaround from her narrow 42-39 advantage last month.
Both should have opened with “Once upon a time…” What’s next? A poll from MSNBC showing Trump down by 20?
There’s a reason only 6% of Americans trust the mainstream media. It’s because they are full of the brown, steaming bovine excrement. They’ve turned polling data into news and they cast polls in a manner to attempt to set public policy and public opinion. Once more, there’s a reason 94% of Americans don’t trust these mainstream media hacks.
Take a deep breath and step back from the mainstream media coverage.
Common sense tells us that these polls showing Hillary up by double-digits are as flawed as Hillary’s character. Don’t believe me – just look at the photos of the campaign events.
Hillary has a huge 15-point lead, but can’t even turn up a few hundred people at a once-a-day rally while Donald Trump is turning out thousands at every venue he appears at, with more people waiting outside?

Hillary in Omaha
The crowds – or lack thereof – have proven an accurate barometer of Americans’ interest in the candidates. Not even Democrats are excited about Hillary (and doubly so for her jihad against gun rights).
Republicans, on the other hand, are energized by Trump. Yes, he’s not the perfect candidate for most, but when was the last perfect candidate we ever had?
Then there’s this piece from Politik.
2016 Election Analysis: Trump Will Defeat Clinton in Landslide
By A. PHILLIP CHARLES
WASHINGTON – The Politik is predicting that on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Donald J. Trump will win a landslide election, to become the 45th President of the United States.
2012 and 2016
In 2012, Barack Obama won reelection with 65.9 million votes. Mitt Romney finished 5 million votes behind, at 60.9 million. That earned Obama 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206.
Just four years earlier, Obama had become the first African American ever to be elected president of the United States, winning the highest amount of votes (69.5 million) by any presidential candidate in history. Despite his historic nature and relative popularity, his margin of victory decreased from 2008. Consequently, Obama became the first incumbent in seven decades to get reelected with fewer electoral votes and a lower popular vote percentage.
…The takeaway from the 2012 election, as it relates to 2016, is that Barack Obama was a once in a lifetime type of candidate. The first African-American candidate. He was young. He was fresh and his candidacy embodied the sort of ‘change’ that so many dissatisfied American’s felt following a long war in Iraq and the financial collapse of the U.S. housing market.And despite all that popularity, enthusiasm and African-American turnout, he still only attained 51.1% of the popular vote in 2012.
Hillary Clinton stands no chance of besting the numbers of Barack Obama from 2012. She is far less popular. She has far less charisma. She does not inspire enthusiasm, and she comes with a lifetime of corrupt decisions and illegal behavior.
Primary Changes by the Numbers
In 2008, the last time the Democrats did not have an incumbent on the ticket, they had approximately 38 million Primary voters. In 2016, that number slipped to approximately 30 million. A loss of 8 million primary voters.
In 2008, Republicans had 21 million primary voters. In 2012, the number slipped to 19 million. In 2016 however, the GOP had over 30 million primary voters – approximately 9-10 million more than 2008.
That is a change of approximately 17-18 million voters in favor of the GOP.
John McCain lost by 10 million votes.
Mitt Romney lost by 5 million votes.
And since 2008, the Democrats have lost 8 million primary voters while the GOP has gained about 10 million.
Donald Trump the Rock Star
Trump is the most popular and captivating candidate the party has nominated since Ronald Reagan. A successful businessman, Trump has been in the world spotlight for years and became a household name over the past decade with a successful reality TV show on NBC, ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.
His name adorns buildings, casinos and resorts all over the world.
Everywhere he has gone, for over a year now, throngs of fans and voters stand in lines thousands deep and hours long. In early August, in a Daytona Beach arena, Trump drew 8,000 screaming fans, while Hillary could only muster a few hundred the same day at a high school gym in Colorado. Later that night, in Jacksonville, Trump drew 15,000 people. This is a normal occurrence on the campaign trail.
Again, Hillary inspires no confidence in voters. Donald Trump has to turn away far more fans that Clinton can even draw at a campaign event. This is meaningful as it relates to who actually will make an effort to vote.
To prove how far his national appeal is, Trump won big in every region of the map: Northeast, Southeast, South, Midwest, Rust Belt, Northwest, West and Southwest. He won more primary votes than any candidate in the history of the party, and he did so with 17 candidates running.
He won a landslide primary, in a year in which three very popular elected officials from the big states of Texas, Florida and Ohio were running against him. That alone made it impossible for almost any candidate besides Ted Cruz in Texas, Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio in Florida and John Kasich in Ohio, to win. Not only did Trump win, but did so with ease.
The Democrats’ Minority Problem
One myth among the typical media narrative is that Republicans have a minority voter problem. In reality, it’s the Democrats that do. In 2012, when Barack Obama won only 51% of the vote, it took him winning the black vote 93-6, and it also required historically high turnout from that group.
Hillary, at minimum, needs to match Obama’s 93-6 margin with black voters, and needs every single black voter that turned out in 2012. That isn’t going to happen. She may achieve the margin. She won’t come close to getting the same turnout.
The Democrats have an electoral problem, in that they need 95% of the black vote, with large turnout, just to win a general election.
Not only is a problem today, but its a far bigger problem for them in the future. As groups of a demographic grow in size, they also become more diverse. The chances are that Blacks will vote less and less for Democrat in the future, as they grow in size and diversify from evolution.
The GOP has been Destroying Democrats in elections since 2009
…Other than Barack Obama’s unimpressive reelection against Mitt Romney in 2012, the Democrats have been losing every type of election imaginable to Republicans.
The Variable Factors
Hillary Clinton is also on the losing end of almost all variables that play in elections.
- She is the incumbent party seeking a third consecutive term, which is rarely a good thing
- The Economy is not producing with 90 million unemployed Americans and only 1.2 % growth.
- ISIS and Terrorism is striking all over the western world and within the United States borders. The Democrats refuse to even say the phrase “Islamic Terrorism.”
- Nearly 80% of the country thinks the United States is going in the wrong direction and Hillary Clinton has been directly involved in government for the last 25 years. In these times, experience is not a good thing.
- Trump is unabashedly pro-American while the Democrats give off a perception that they are embarrassed by being associated as an American.
- Trump has taken strong positions on two issues that are driving massive new voters to him: Immigration and Free Trade. Both of these issues hit right at the heart of the forgotten middle class, that has seen their jobs traded away oversees by their own elected officials.
- Over the past 70 or so years, typically the more physically overpowering ticket wins. Trump/Pence or Clinton/Kaine? Who seems tougher to you?
- Her husband Bill Clinton never received even half of the vote during his two Electoral College victories in 1992 and 1996. The Clintons are not as popular as the media would have you believe.
- Hillary doesn’t have the heart of her party’s voters. Bernie Sanders did. And unfortunately for the Democrats, the heart of their party’s voters lost.
- Trump, on the hand, is the heart of the party and beat the powerful interests groups trying to steal it from him and his record setting amount of voters.
The Secret-Trump Vote
Don’t even bother looking at a poll. If they were any accurate or valuable at predicting, then the people who ran them would be billionaires.
As we learned from the DNC-WikiLeaks scandal, the Democratic Party and Mainstream Media manipulate polls for nothing other than headlines and talking points, meant to drive narratives and suppress Republican turnout.
Instead, think of the facts.
In 2012, the voting age population was 235 million, but only 129 million voted.
Both parties left a possible 106 million votes on the table.
Because of Donald Trump’s candidacy, all the rules have been thrown out. We’ve seen that few of the old political playbook tricks work against him. Money being spent by his opponents have all gone to waste.
We saw every single professional political pundit in the country get the entire primary season wrong – on both sides.
The media and their phony polling consultants don’t have any clue what turnout will look like. If they did, they wouldn’t have bungled their Trump and Clinton predictions so badly in the primaries.
What we do know is that Trump is attracting voters from all over the map and into the Republican fold, just to vote for him. It’s how he unexpectedly massacred 16 opponents in the primary.
It’s how he will massacre Hillary Clinton in the general election.
When the media tells you that this race is close or that Hillary is leading, just simply laugh it all off.
This election is already over and Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States.
Amen.
This is good stuff, but it is also important to note that winner takes the electoral college vote. In this case, it’s how many illegal aliens and Syrian refugees can they pile into FL, OH, and PA. Plus, how many of Trump’s voters they can disenfranchise or simply let them vote and toss out the ballot boxes. Clearly, there will be more Black Panthers with baseball bats patrolling normally conservative polling places. Black Lives Matter will stage protests and riots in some of those areas, making sure that frightened Trump voters stay home.
Plus, they’ll rig the voting machines so that a vote for Trump becomes a vote for Clinton.
From your lips to God’s ear
Its good to read someone bringing facts into the discussion instead of political correctness.
Hillary made a huge mistake with her VP pick also… she really should have picked Cory Booker to keep the black turnout high. The pollsters are using turnout data from 2012 and 2008 to figure their numbers… those numbers won’t apply to 2016 for several reasons:
Black turnout will be noticeably lower without the “Obama factor”.
Black voters are not as unified in support of Hillary as they were for Obama. Trump may get a double digit percentage of the black vote.
Trump will get more people who normally vote Democrat than any other GOP candidate since Reagan.
A good number of the Bernie people are backing Jill Stein instead of Hillary, which will hurt her.
Trump still doesn’t have the support of portions of the GOP either, but Kasich is now talking about endorsing him, and I still think Ted Cruz will come around in the next month or so.
The “Hispanic” vote is not as unified a bloc of votes as Democrats seem to think. Many Cubans in the US are angry over the renewed diplomatic ties with Castro’s regime and will blame the Democrats for it. Many LEGAL immigrants who have gained their citizenship are angry with all the illegal immigration and are supporting Trump.
Trump’s performance in the debates will be key. If he can stay on message, appear “Presidential”, and refute some of the wild media claims, he’ll gain even more support.
Everybody already knows Hillary and her positions, she really has nothing to gain at all from the debates (one reason they’re being scheduled opposite major viewing competition like NFL football), and I almost expect her to try to weasel out of them.
Clinton’s problem is that she sold her soul to the devil.
Tim Kaine was the DNC Chairperson in 2008. He stepped down in favor of Hillary’s hand-picked Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Think she had to take Tim Kaine in order to pay him back. Think Tim Kaine is Obama’s guy.
