4 months ago the King had a 20 pt lead over Trump. The people however have see that the King has no clothes. Now, after having spent $50M the King is polling behind Trump. The King is facing a landslide loss.

Conservatism means never learning from past mistakes.

That used to be my go-to clip whenever I wanted to bring laughter to my day. Then Donald Trump started speaking.
A lot of us prefer this...

It is worrying for the DNC. Bernie Sanders is needed against Trump. The same old, same old status quo politician wont work IMO. Sanders is the only one who can create the type of excitement about real change in the form of ending political corruption that so many people across the isle want to see. A nomination of Hillary could become the 2014 mid-terms all over again with awful voter turnout and when that happens Republicans win.

This is a fake bogyman that you create to shoot so you can convince yourself there is some difference from the other bogyman conjured up in your mind called. Mr. Liberal. Problem is, they are exactly the same.

All of you who think career establishment politicians are going to do something for you are the ones who haven't learned a damn thing from this mistake.

That is an old poll from 2 months ago.

This is the key takeaway. For months, Clinton's lead has shrunk and now we see Trump ahead nearly outside the moe. It's a huge shift.

Plenty of old Fox polls showed Clinton up big. They may be off a few points, but the trend cannot be denied.

Trump has started to expose the absolute hypocrisy of the Clintons. And rolling out Bill Clinton as a "secret weapon" has backfired just like it did in 2008.

Does it really matter at this point? Polls are going up and down, usually to Benghazi Hillary's detriment but we haven't even had one primary yet. Personally, I wish they would ban polling at least as soon as 2 weeks before an election. Many uninformed people are like sheep and vote in whatever direction the wind or latest poll is trending because they want to be popular and a winner. This is how Obama got elected.

This is how much has been spent.
Team Bush: $49 million ($47.5M from his Super PAC, $1.5M from the campaign)
Team Rubio: $25.6 million ($9.3M from a 501c4, $9M from campaign, $7.3M from the Super PAC)
Team Clinton: $13.8 million ($13.6M from her campaign, $199K from her Super PAC)
Team Kasich: $10.1 million ($9.9M from outside groups, $208K from his campaign)
Team Sanders: $9.6 million (all from his campaign)
Team Christie: $9.3 million ($8.9M from a Super PAC, $407K from his campaign)
Team Carson: $4 million ($3.8M from his campaign, $200K from the Super PAC)
Team Cruz: $2 million ($1.3M from our campaign, the rest from Super PACs)

Although I note its weird Trump isnt listed, and while they say he's funding his own campaign, I see see his camp selling tshirts etc
