This is why I think he will likely be polling behind until the debates start. The MSM is controlling the narrative for the time being. However the first debate ratings are gonna be YUGE....and the MSM's narrative about both Trump and Clinton will be redefined. Direct exposure helps Trump and hurts Clinton, and as November approaches direct exposure will be working its magic.
“...until the debates start...”. What makes you think the Hildabeast will participate in the debates? She’ll dodge them like she dodges press conferences and tough questions. She will merely say “I refuse to be on the same stage as that hateful man...”. Watch and see.
“However the first debate ratings are gonna be YUGE”
I think there’s a better chance than even that Hillary will actually duck the debates. And I think she’ll actually be better off to to do that politically than to risk being destroyed in the debates by Trump.
Whether she attends the debates or not, she’ll have a certain large percentage of die hard voters that would vote for her no matter what, AND the risk of not attending can be calculated with pretty good certainty, while the risk of attending and performing poorly is nearly incalculable. In other words, there is almost no upside for Hillary to attend the debates, while the downside potential is nearly unlimited.
