I polled my home, occupied by one veteran and his wife. Trump leads 100% to 0%.

Dems will find a way not to count Military votes they always do.

Hillary made an interesting comment yesterday regarding Trump’s flag officer support. She said she has received more support then any Dem when it came to flag officer support, and Trump has received less flag officer support than any Rep candidate.

What she hasn’t said, and this is where I would like some FReeper input is whether she has received more flag officer support than Trump?

Well....active military and vets are,we must admit,typical white people who cling to their guns and religion.

lol on vander’s comment :)

And I’d go in the basement and end it if Trump wasn’t leading YUGE with this group.

Trump is going to win by 5 to 7, I think. Which is worthless, but I think :)

If he’s up 2 now and the labor day crowd missed most of the news AND the debates haven’t happened yet, that’s my guess.

There is so much energy and promise around Trump... I am hoping, counting on, more will join Trump’s energy and dump hillary’s sick, lackless, old, corrupt style.. God help the nation that can’t see this! God help the nation that would rather vote for the same corrupt system that has brought us so much damage, than recognize the boat God sent to us.

Hillary is polling under 40%.

A typical Democrat usually gets around the mid 40s.

Newt Gringich predicted back in the summer Hillary would get less than she normally would.

Looks like its beginning to bear fruit.

Interesting statistics:

Sorry but the table wouldn’t copy in a readable format. My summarization: overall, 25.4% of the active duty military is minorities. Draw your own conclusions.

“Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 19 points — 55 percent to 36 percent — among voters who are currently serving or have previously served in the U.S. military.”

Over the years, I have realized that about 35% of our voting population will vote for the rats regardless of how anti American and criminal they are. Like Carter, Clintoon and Obama.

35% of us have voted Republican even when the Doles, Bushes, McAinals, and Romneys are our candidates.

The winning side is the one which gets the most independent voters.

Hopefully, Trump is winning the Independent voters, and Illiarily is losing them.

I just hope she makes it to the series of debates.
We need her alive...at least until November 8th.

If she dies prior, she becomes a martyr to inspire the otherwise lazy Democrats to come out for Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, or Bernie Sanders.

There are Vet Ds too - however as you can see from the poll, there’s no enthusiasm for Hillary.

I don’t see any one coming out to vote for her who wasn’t already committed to her.

And Trump holds a 20 + advantage with vets and with Independents.

We’re 61 days out from the election and voters appear to have made up their minds.
