Where’s That Trump Third Act? (How Trump turns it around)
Dilbert ^ | 6/17/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 06/17/2016 6:43:11 AM PDT by GilGil

...imagine a movie in which the hero saves the world in the third act but in the process is exposed to a poison that will kill him. That’s a typical movie pattern. There has to be ONE MORE UNSOLVABLE problem before the movie ends.

And we’re seeing that unsolvable problem right now. Trump’s recent dip in the polls, along with his sky-high unfavorable ratings seems to make him unelectable. Even Republicans have a problem with Trump.

This isn’t the Republican nomination, where Trump could dominate. The general election is a new game. There’s no way for Trump to solve a problem this big, right?

That’s what you are supposed to think at this point in the movie.

Wait for the plot twist this summer. You’re

Attacks by Obama on behalf of Clinton actually work in Trump's favor by clarifying the differences between Trump and Obama/Clinton and by reinforcing the narrative that Clinton will be an extension of Obama.

Also, by Obama's refusal to speak the truth about Orlando, he just appears more insane than ever...and that translates into an insanity accusation levied against Clinton since she holds the same positions as Obama.

I hear this about his unfavorable ratings then on the other hand I hear of how he has received more votes than any other republican candidate that’s run...please someone explain that.

Looks like Trumps poll numbers are imploding in the latest national polls. He’s at less than 40% in some of them. And the Trump supporters asked earlier “What are the Republicans who don’t support Trump going to do? Vote for Hillary?” Now we know the answer to that question. Yes, many of them are voting for Hillary. I read this morning that Richard Armitage is the most recent high profile Republican to defect to Hillary. And there are obviously a lot in the rank and file who are doing the same. Personally I think Trump would do us all a favor if he pulled out. Latest poll numbers in Florida have him down on Hillary by 12 points. He can’t win without Florida.

Yeah, but his latest post makes no sense at all, and says nothing.

We will win this without your help.

I do not want Trump to pull out.

You sound like the trolls who said he could not win the primaries. You are on the wrong forum. You need to go find a Hillary forum where you belong.

He is basically saying that the plot twist occurs this summer. Pretty clear!

That’s it, Trump’s finished. The first 50 times they said he was finished was just hyperbole, but this time it’s real. The nevertrumpers can just feel it.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

If Concern Trolls say Trump is finished, then he’s finished.

Why not just elect Hillary now?

We don’t need a contested election if its a foregone conclusion.

You may be giving the polls more credence than they deserve; in 1980 the polls were all predicting a victory for Carter, the Ronnie beat the snot out of him!

Of course the demographics are different today.

Reagan would not win VT, NY, PA and CA.

This isn’t the country I grew up in and it elected Obama twice.

Anyone who votes for Hillary over any Republican candidate is an Establishment Globalist Elitist asshole. They were never Republicans except to take over the party for the Globalist elite.

As far as your doom-poll-pushing, this far out polling is meant to influence, not predict.

So take your #NeverTrump trolling and stuff it.

Trump has the winning issue. He just needs to stay the course. If he stands fast on the primary issue--putting America & the Americans first--he will crush those (the whipped cur Republicans & Democratic regulars) who want to give their heritage away.

Anyone who reads the Constitution in context, along with the Preamble [We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.]

will see that the whole function is to serve a specific people, America & the Americans, divided--and also distinct--in our honored State cultures; but certainly together in our entitlements to a Federal Government that serves us, not some fantasy of a consolidated humanity. (Make no mistake, "One world" is a humanity united in bondage; where all lose the cultural achievements of the ages--achievements that reflect what is unique in each people.)

If we will just confront those who apologize for America, and demand that they explain why they will not put America first--when it is clearly their sworn duty;--it will not take the almost five months remaining till the election, to have the rats scurrying for the intellectual sewers.

The GOP establishment hates Trump - he’s a loose cannon for them.

I’m not in the least surprised many of them are jumping ship for Hillary.

Democrats are unifying around her while Republicans aren’t still sold on him.

That explains the polls and the news we’re seeing now.
