Those who try to caution me that Clinton is still ahead in the polls...
...there’s a disconnect somewhere. I’m not seeing overwhelming support for this woman.
They’re including 3rd party candidates in most polls, even though they will never get more than 1% of the vote, and they keep oversampling Dems by 10+% even though Republican turnout has been much higher than Dem throughout the entire primary.
The polls are wishful thinking.
There is a difference between telling some pollster that, yeah, I'm voting for Hillary; AND, said person actually registering and then showing up to vote. This woman has NO enthusiasm for her. She has a 'D' after her name; and, for some folks, that is enough. But, I don't think she has any enthusiasm going in her supporters which would make them get out and vote for her.
Trump, OTOH, seems to have a whole lotta enthusiasm for his candidacy.
Also, FWIW, I was watching Varney this morning and he was interviewing a Black man who really liked what Trump was saying about a voucher system for poor Blacks and Hispanics to get out of their failing schools. He really liked that, and supported it because education was the first step for getting out of the poverty cycle.
So, Varney asks him if he is voting for Trump; and, he says "No". Varney was shocked, and then the guy explains that the "messenger" is important. So, so much for the kids he, supposedly cares about and wants a better education for. If Trump is the one to do that for them; well, he just will throw the kids back into their dismal environment because, I dunno, he believes all the nasty lies about Trump? It was amazing to listen to.
