She made a huge strategic error, picking Kaine as her running mate.

Whom should she have picked instead? Dems have a thin bench, and some of them like flunked vetting.

That's really saying something (the vetting part), considering who they are running as a presidential candidate.

It’s all BS. Trump is going to win. The cheating just has to be addressed before the elections.

I have no idea what Hillary's VP requirements are. Clearly, she figured Kaine was an asset.....b/c why would she pick him?

She and Bill have big plans....to romp allover the US Treasury.

The Clinton's looting and pillaging will have no equal in American history.

So, if anything, her VP should be somebody who would be OK w/ that.

If one is going to live and die by the polls, then IMO, it’s foolish to pick and choose the polls that look good for your candidate (especially ones done by the same pollster with the same methodology) and find numerous flaws with the ones that don’t.

If there are flaws with the polls (same pollster/same methodology) that don’t favor your candidate, wouldn’t it make sense that there are flaws with ones that do?

It makes more sense to look at overall trends. The trend last week was very bad for Trump, but the trend over the past few days looks as if he has staunched the bleeding and is starting to rebound a bit.

People really do not like Shrillary and the email scandal keeps rearing its ugly head.

There’s something she didn’t figure when she chose such a weak, weird looking little guy as her running mate.

She came across as seeking out a beta make to help her lead.

Armchair pydchols, have at it!

This morning I was thinking that Trump’s PACs should spam the airwaves with 30-second clips by Rudy (everyone loves Rudy!), those sports coaches (don’t do sports - can’t recall their names), Jamiel whose son was murdered by an illegal, Benghazi mothers, Ivanka, etc. Show them during breaks in shows like “American Idol” and such where non-political-junkies spend their time. Cram as much pith into each clip and dumb it down.

All of these surrogates can spend hours as talking heads on news shows and at rallies, but probably 80% of voters wouldn’t turn on one of those shows in a million years.

She would’ve done much better with Jim Webb.

I recall that the big talk on FR was the inevitability of Romney winning. And McCain at his time.
Wanting Trump to win, whether or not he will, won’t make him win.
If he’s behind in the polls, be concerned - don’t just rationalize an explanation why they’re wrong.

I think Jim Webb is on record saying he will not vote for Hillary. I think even Webb thinks she is a fraud.

I think a prerequisite is he cannot goo off the reservation. Webb might be too much his own man for her to accept.

Especially puzzled since they rigged their numbers specifically to forestall that happening. Someone in the Creative Lies division is going to get sacked.

The only commercials running in Raleigh are Hillary and anti-Trump.

“If he’s behind in the polls, be concerned - don’t just rationalize an explanation why they’re wrong.”

And all the polls had Jeb Bush winning the Republican presidential primary.

The polls had Trump losing the Florida primary.

The polls had Scott walker losing the 2012 Wisconsin recall election by five points. He won by 7 points. That’s a 12 point error.

Those are three examples of many erroneous polls.

The RCP chart of aggregated polls certainly shows the enthusiasm gap. Hillary is far ahead in the Registered Voter polls the media uses to promote her, but leads a statistically meaningless 1% with Likely Voters.

Obama’s popular vote margin of victory in 2012 was about 4 million votes. This 4M was covered by the Dem “overvote” in New York and California. If you give Hillary the NY and CA electoral votes, and examine only the poll results for the entire rest of the US, the story becomes a large Trump lead, not +1 for Hillary. Obviously, state by state polls are what matter at this stage.

FOXMegyn News Corp was bad on TRUMP Saturday. One wimp interviewed a HRC supporter. The guest criticised TRUMP using No tell.

FOX wimp asked if this was the same Morrel who now works for the firm that supports Hillary? That was it. Guest lady said “no” and launched into Morell’s fine resume. Wimp blinked and moved on.

It begins.

The Sunday shows this morning are gleefully announcing Trump’s campaign is imploding and he’s basically done. They are like a pack of rabid bats.

CONFIRMED: Pollsters Loading Polls with Democrats to Give Hillary a Lead Over Trump

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/08/new-polls/ ^ | August 2, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Donald Trump shattered the previous GOP primary record by 1.4 million votes this year — and that was with 17 candidates in the race!

Hillary Clinton received 1.5 million fewer votes this year than she did in 2008 - when she lost!
Democrats are in a panic. So leave it to the media to jump in and help their candidate. Reuters tweaked their polling methods this week to give Hillary a lead.

Reuters -Ipsos used more than 100 more Democrats in their poll to give Hillary a lead over Donald Trump. Does anyone in their right mind think DEMOCRATS will have more people voting this year than Republicans?
