Our concerned trolls will blast us 24/7 with the phoney push polls posing as real polls.

They will cry and moan how Trump has lost it, and how he should do their agenda thing to stop his boat from sinking.

When they do this, just post the following and don't comment any more on their so concerned poll posts,

C. Edmund began calling names when presented with evidence. He got so nutty anti-Trump that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was banned. He certainly deserved it.

Trump is like an ultraviolet light exposing all the, well, you know, on a whorehouse floor.

He was banned, I gather from saying the same kind of stuff you told me he said to you, although I didn't see it at the time.

I just noted an article by him last week, he was actually trying to defend Cruz, saying his stand would be remembered for Cruz being proved right over time.

It was such a bad premise, so embarrassing, just like the one he was idolizing as the perfect candidate. Very sad, as I told you once, I had a very positive posting relationship with him once upon a time, enjoyed his back and forth, but judging from that article, he's gone over the edge and off the cliff.

Hillary will get a 5 point bounce in at least one poll:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-29/why-reuters-tweaking-its-presidential-poll

“Reuters/Ipsos poll currently has Trump 40.2%, Clinton 38.5%, but, Reuters reports, eliminating “Neither” from the “Neither/Other” answer produced a different result. In that case, Clinton was ahead, 40% to 36%.

The amended Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll will be published later Friday.”

“Published later Friday”... what a “lucky” “coincidence”...

Hillary can get no bounce of any significance from this convention, because there is nowhere for her to gain...

She’s locked up the Democratic vote (although DNC Leaks might actually weaken her among this group) she’s been polling with her support right about where every democrat in my lifetime has been in every election among democrats.... She can’t milk any more from her base.

Idependents on the other hand are around 20 points pro trump in nearly every poll I’ve seen that has published internals.... The only reason the race has not been a completely blowout against Hillary so far is because Trump is running about 12 points behind where Republicans tend to be among support from REPUBLICANS.

So, Trump has room to grow in his base, Hillary has none, and Trump is up 20 points among independents... Hillary, to win, must get about 15% of independents or better, to decide between now and Nov that they need to rethink their support of Trump/rejection of her...

Meanwhile Trump has until November to grow his support among the Republican base.... while holding on to independents he’s already got supporting him.

Now, which scenario do you think is more likely to happen?????

Trump may not get all 12% that a typical Republican would get from republican votes, but you better believe by November, he’ll certain have his support among republicans closer to traditional levels. Personally I think Trump probably gained 2-3 points from Ted Cruz’s speech alone among that group.

Trump has also suffered in polling due to a reverse Bradley effect, online polling consistently shows Trump polling better than in phone polling. These folks will be getting more and more willing to admit their support now that the race is official... Trump again, has at least 2-3% on the low end more support that polls are showing due to this as well.

November is going to be a bloodbath for democrats.

Yes, they will invent their polls to show it a race... and probably show her a big fake bounce.. but there is nothing that’s fundamentally changed in the race this week, so its all garbage.. DNSLeaks and Bernie Drama dominated Monday and Tuesday, Trump completely stole Wednesday from their little love in, so how anyone thinks this thing would create any significant momentum shift is laughable.

He decided we were all brain dead stupids, said so, and that’s the last I saw him.

It takes a Potemkin Village to raise a Hillary to National office...

I wouldn’t worry about it at all, not at this point at least. We have the nominees and it will be less and less possible to hide their real numbers as time goes on. For a time the MSM will be declaring victory. Ignore it.

Another “Clinton bounce”-benefitting polling reporting change:

“a new polling rule from HuffPollster ... As of today, the only notable consequence of the new rule is that Ohio goes from a tie to Clinton +4%. “

Let the left believe their media’s BS polls. Trump and his silent majority will shock them all when we win by 8 to 10 points.
