If you were truly not worried about Trump; you would not be posting. But you obviously are worried because you are spending almost every minute of the day telling us that it will not happen. What we have seen is that you and your friends said that Trump would not win and here we are; he is the last one standing after the Primary. Trump won one state after another while you said his last win would be his last.


Regardless of what the polls show today; he will catch up and beat Hillary in November. Perhaps you better find a better candidate to go after Trump in 2020? But, if Trump makes good on his promises; 2020 might be a tough year for you!

You can't be serious.
Obama carried NC in 2008 due to the significant support that he got in Asheville, a hotbed if liberalism. I'm not seeing or hearing the same support for Hillary, however I am seeing many indicators that Trump has alot of support here.

I only mention Trump signs in passing. If you want to compare Hillary vs Trump on anything I'll be glad to. But I notice that you don't like to do such. Bottom line. The middle/working class has abandoned Hillary Clinton. She is facing landslide losses. That is, if she is even nominated. She's still trying to fight off the communist. This speaks to how weak her support is, within what's left of her own party.
Actually the polls do have meaning--as of right now, Hillary is more popular with Americans than Donald Trump, and would trounce him in a general election.

The polls are meaningless only in the sense that public sentiment can change between now and November, which gives Trump time to turn things around (or sink further in the abyss). But as of right now, the polls are demonstrating quite clearly that your "working/middle class has abandoned Hillary" argument is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Then why are you in this thread right now? You were just celebrating Trump beating Hillary in that phony Rasmussen poll a week ago weren't you? Thought they dont matter this far out?

Trump followers in Feb-General election polls 9 months out are meaningless
Trump followers in Mar-General election polls 8 months out are meaningless
Trump followers in April-General election polls 7 months out are...oh wait! What? Rasmussen poll shows Trump ahead of Hillary by 3 points! Trump is going to crush Hillary in Nov!!
Trump followers in May-General election polls 6 months out are meaningless


Im sure you can guess how June-Oct will go right?

Topic is not about me. But it doesn't mean I can't discuss the polls which is what I'm doing.

Polls for 6 months in the future are meaningless as to what will happen in 6 months. Polls at the beginning of the election season last summer said that JEB would be the nominee.

North Carolina - Civitas (R)
Clinton 49
Trump 37

The "swing state" of North Carolina not looking much like a swing state at the moment.

Isn't what you just posted the very definition of a swing state?

i.e. Bush -> Obama -> Romney -> Clinton.
