On May 2nd, Trump pulled in front of Clinton in a Rasmussen Reports poll 41 to 39 percent.

And I saw more than one of these polls oversampling Democrats by 7 percent, and Trump is still tied. Are there really 7 percent more Democrats than Republicans in this country?

Hillary is the worst candidate ever!

And the her worse nightmare is Trump who won't let her go at her own pace.

Normally polls at this point in the election cycle show the Democrat comfortably ahead.

If Hillary is really essentially tied at this point, she’s in major trouble for the general election.

We know Trump has some high negatives and all that. But Hillary has no upside potential; she’s been on the national political scene for decades, and people know what they think of her. She is not going to gain any additional support no matter what she does. She can only hope to stop attrittion and hope for enough voter manipulation in key states to win a close election.

They have reached the quarter pole and he is starting to make his move, pulling ahead by a neck, breathing easy, taking long strides, comfortable pace.

The sound from the grandstands is above background noise, but not yet a roar.

People still munching hot dogs and taking in the whole scene.

At the half mile the crowd will be on their feet!

Yeppir. A lot of independents are former Republicans that can't stand the direction of the party (globalist.) Democrats are easier to please (gimme stuff.)

Reagan showed the Republicans how to win, but Bush I took a 49 state sweep and turned it into 37% popular vote in four short years. And that's been the Republican platform ever since. Endless wars we have no intention of winning, open borders, and whatever Saudi Arabia wants, Saudi Arabia gets.

Someone has to do something to knock down her numbers with women. I volunteer.

Here’s the fun part - take one of the state polls that has Clinton ahead, now go look at Obama’s exit polling from 2012 and compare those numbers to Hillary’s. Then do Trump to Romney. Trump’s outperforming Romney across the board, Hillary’s way behind Obama’s numbers, but the headline puts her ahead by at least 4 points. I love liberal math.

Can't go any other way. Sanders won Oregon and Clinton got the lead with super delegates.

Any support for Clinton is, is by dopes only.

DJT is going to beat the Beast like a two-dollar mule. Her recent comments about making Billy Jeff her economics czar were made out of desperation - you could see it in her body language.

Crooked Hillary’s campaign has been soul-crushing. Worst candidate ever! Pathetic too. Hiding in her hotel room while Bernie Sanders gives all the victory speeches. Now she’s going to have to share the spotlight with Bernie at the DNC convention and trust me, she will be upstaged. Nobody wants Crooked Hillary.

I don’t know, but since the only way they can have enough numbers to win a vote in this country is to import the poor, uneducated and needy in order to buy their votes, it’s likely that even if there are a few numbers more, that it’s unsustainable without a continual, fresh, supply of the unknowing and unsuspecting.

“DJT is going to beat the Beast like a two-dollar mule.”

He is going to beat her like a drum that looks like a baby seal loaded on the back of a rented mule that’s owned by a red-headed step child who is a used rug merchant
