Democrats should fear the depths of Donald Trump's support

A word of caution to those Democrats, particularly those supporting Hillary Clinton, openly rooting for Donald Trump to win the Republican presidential nomination. Yes, his campaign has been six months of ugly, gasp-worthy rhetoric that should make the Republican Party a no-go zone for a majority of the American electorate on Election Day 2016. But folks like it. And that is reason to worry.

What if radio talk show host Michael Smerconish was right ? What if Trump's numbers are really higher than the polls show because folks are lying to pollsters? What if a Trump vs. Clinton race isn't a slam dunk for the latter as everyone thinks? Thanks to a study conducted by Kyle Dropp, co-founder and executive director of polling and data science at Morning Consult , we have the frightening answer. Smerconish WAS right!

Very good article.

Trump has a lot more support than polls are picking up.
Especially black, Hispanic and new voters.

Working on my CDL A. My instructor (60s)and a couple of classmates (20 somethings) are black. All 3 will be voting for Trump.

They like a candidate stirring things up but I suspect many are also going to get cold feet when the serious voting starts. Trump could also take his wife’s advice and tone down the crudeness a bit which would make it a much easier pill to swallow.

Wow!

I think people who actually work for a living will be attracted to Trump.

“The Wilder Effect. Rush talked about it today.”


Which is why polls like Reuters show such a wide difference to those that rely on pollsters direct calling, folks can be honest just like they can in the voting booth.

There is precedence lying to liberal/commie pollsters how they are going to vote. Communist Sandinstas v. Chamarro in the Nicaraguan election.

The Communist pollsters would poll the people and the pollsters would be told what they wanted to hear that Daniel Ortega was going to be the slam dunk winner. The people knowing how the Commies are so they lied to them of course Chamorro won.

Exactly. Any color that works for a living or wants to work gets Trump and is not offended.

They all said he would be best for the economy but the instructor added this “PC bull$h!+ gotta stop and Trump is the only one taking a stand.”

Democrats should fear the political and economic retaliation that the Silent Majority is going to wage on their red asses.

A lot of firings will take place esp. at the highest levels of the US Government, esp. the EPA and DOJ, DHS, etc.

Lots of student loans “forgiveness” won’t be.

Major legislation will pass increasing criminal penalties for marijuana users who are involved in serious traffic accidents, esp. if someone is injured or killed.

Lots of taxes will be lowered or abolished. Welfare will have “Workfare” reinstated across the county.

Immigration - stopped cold for illegals. Complete overhaul of the visa system.

No release of major drug gang leaders on the grounds that they were “non-violent” (Tell that to their victims in the procuring/trafficking path).

Anti-America teachers in federally financed (and maybe even state-financed) schools, esp. colleges, will finally get to know what an “unemployment line” is. Others will go to jail for treason.

Green power items that kill birds and other wildlife by the tens of thousands or even millions, will be either moved or shut down.

Nuclear power will be back. So will coal plants with good scrubbers. JOBS WILL BE BACK FOR LOYAL AMERICANS.

Leftist unions will be investigated for payoffs, bribes, violence, etc. and they will be broken.

ISIS IS TOAST, nuclear or standard (I like napalm, myself).

PUTIN - Hey Kremlin, you have a problem. The Ukraine will stay free.

Restrictions placed on relations with Cuba until all political prisoners are free and gulags destroyed.

HELP IS ON THE WAY TO THE FREEDOM FORCES IN VENEZUELA, BOLIVIA, ECUADOR, NICARAGUA, ARGENTINA, ETC.

RED CHINA: shoot down one of our planes and you will be missing your whole air force, as well as those “islands” you’ve created in the Pacific.

Islamic jihadists - you’re dead. We’ll hunt you down all around the world and “collateral damage” has been banned from our military policies.

If you like this, write me in as President. I’d make Trump look like a contestant on the “Ted Mack Amateur Hour”.

I am friends with a Jewish couple from NYC’s Upper West Side. Over the years I have endured endless lectures about global warming and am told that all of the world’s ills, aside from that, can be traced to one Bush or the other. Despite being absolute rabid yellow-dog democrats, each has told me separately that they will vote for Trump, and at the same time, each has asked me to let the other know that.

Sorry, I meant "each has asked me not to let the other know that".

Making a list, checking it twice.

Move over Joe McCarthy. You only had up to 187 names on your three lists. I’ve got that many names on the first page of traitors, crooks, crazies, cronies and incompetents, and as Chicago sang, “Only The Beginnings”.

We need an honest Attorney General who will clean house with a fire hose.

Wait til the Trump vs Hillary debates. He’s no soft ball Sanders—even with the MSM supporting Hillary Trump will be her bigest nightmare. She can’t cry here—she has to stand toe to toe with him and hope he says something stupid and takes himself out. Better not have any long bathroom breaks too.
