New York Times getting nervous polls that show Hillary leading might be wrong
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/17/16 | Dan Calabrese

Gray Lady losing confidence in horrible, corrupt, shrill, dishonest, inept lady.

Look, I don’t blame the New York Times one bit. If I was in the tank for a candidate as inept as Hillary Clinton, I’d be nervous too. It’s bad enough that she might lose. Anyone who looks at Hillary honestly can see what a horrible candidate she is. Of course she might lose. But how bad would it be if she lost to Donald Trump, even after the media did everything it could to paint him as some sort of a cross between Hitler, Gordon Gekko and Alfred E. Neuman?

Now that would be bad.

Why doesn’t the NYT just move to Havana?

The recent polling trend is in Trumps favor. He is rising in the polls and Hillary is falling.

Seeing repeated polls that Hillary “leads” by two or three percent, especially polls where she has 38 or 41%. I view her as the incumbent and that indicates very little support.

So I’m guessing Trump leads right now.

I just don’t think they will let her be the nominee.

It’s been interesting that the polls are so tight.

Frequently in pre-election polls, this far out, the Democrat candidate is reported to be way ahead in polls.

The actual election results are always closer than these polls would indicate.

If you go back and check polls for Carter-Ford in 1976, Reagan-Carter in 1980, Bush-Dukakis in 1988, even Obama-Romney in 2012, you will see that early polls showed the Democrat cruising to an easy victory. But history tells us that the GOP won some of those elections.

But in any event, the GOP candidate ends up doing much better in actual votes than these polls would suggest.

Yes, I’m suggesting that these polls aren’t entirely accurate and could be doctored to try to spin us that the Democrat is more popular than he/she really is.

Sorry to be long winded, but to get to my point, the point is, if Hillary is in a tight race in the polls now, rather than being comfortably ahead, the way these polls run, she’s in serious trouble for the general election.

I’d love to see Bernie bludgeon her in OR. Really salivating over that possibility.

Anyone who looks at Hillary honestly can see what a horrible candidate person she is.

This is even more valid.

It can be interesting to compare and contrast different politicians.

There is a world of difference between Reagan and Hillary, for example. Reagan portrayed and exuded optimism about America, and our role in the world, and put forth a positive view of conservative values.

Politicos such as Hillary, put forth a fearful view of the world, in which the enemies we face are not those who perpetrate war against us, but rather, the enemy is the opposing political party. To Hillary and her ilk, they campaign through fear, creating fear in their followers that somebody will cut back birth control access, or not kowtow to the demands of the steady parade of kooks and freaks who want to choose their own bathroom.

Reagan portrayed an optimism that better days were ahead.

Hillary portrays a world in which dark times are ahead, and that we will return to the middle ages, unless we vote our fears and vote for the joyless Democrat.

Reagan was a positive happy personality. Hillary is a (fill in the blank) who has no happiness or positive feelings at all.

Bottom line here in this cycle is. Hillary is status quo and basically the incumbent. Most voters are NOT interested in carrying on with the idiotic status quo or in a 3rd term of Obama’s BS. So even though democrats are always favored in the polling it’s only because there are more registered democrats being polled.

The only poll that matters will be taken on election day.

Since they just make up the poll numbers, and any other crap they want to manufacture consent, it's understandable that they'd have some anxiety.

This is the pre-season. These polls mean nothing. The real games begin after the Conventions.

I’d love to see Bernie bludgeon her in OR.
= = = = = = ==

Even if she does, will probably get more delegates (AGAIN)

Would really like to see her get blasted in KY since Burny went to PR rather than KY (HA)..

She actually had the gall to mention the loss of COAL industry in KY - People must be as dumb as they think ‘we’ are.

Then mentioning Bill as ‘money czar’...

Trump should use that and keep citing the ‘Clinton Fund’ and keep tying all three of them to the Fund (hillbill AND the kid as I am sure she will seek to become the first one to be the white child of a black president, and the first one to follow in footsteps of father and mother).
