Not saying he WILL win or even that he SHOULD win, but the denial that he COULD win has been astonishing. Now with the LA Times poll showing him up by seven and the democractic convention not going as a scripted coronation, y'all should be just a bit worried. The excuses don't hold water, and yes, I know them all:
1. THE DEMS HAVE AN INSURMOINTABLE "BLUE WALL."
Well, no. Something is true in politics until it is not. Trump has demonstrated that he has the ability to potentially flip Pennslyvania, and can maybe spread that to Michigan and Wisconsin. He is expanding the map. They used to talk about the "RED WALL." Things change.
2. DEMOGRAPHICS GUARANTEE THAT CLINTON WINS.
Well, no. The Dems have been predicting that demographcis will make them trancendent in every election in the last 20 yeras. Here is is 2016 and the Republicans still have the House, the Senate, a maortiy of governorships and dominate a majority of state legislatures. The more minorities vote democrat, the more whites vote republican. In the mid terms, the GOP made gains with Asians and in key states with Hispanics. Yes, Trump flushes that all away, but that could be balanced by the fact that blacks and Hispanics will vote in less absolute numbers for the less popular and insipring Hillary than they did for Obama.
3. HILLARY HAS A MACHINE BEHIND HER.
She has been outspening Trump something like 40 to 1, and where has it gotten her?
4. TRUMP'S NEGATIVES ARE TOO HIGH
A recent poll just had Hillary's higher for the first time,and she polls much worse on the soft and fuzzy questions.
5. TRUMP DOES POORLY WITH WOMEN
Hillary does worse with men. As this becomes a change and security election, Trump has more opportuity with security moms than Hillary does with any subset of men.
6. THE LA TIMES POLL IS AN OUTLIER
Just go to Realclearpoltics. It is clearly not. Trump clearly has momentum. In terms of the size of his lead, it is at this point an outlier, but several polls show him ahead or competative.
7. TRUMP JUST GOT A CONVENTION BOUNCE. EVERYONE GETS ONE, AND SO WILL HILLARY.
Well, no. In the age of mass media and the 24/7 news cycle, convention bounces are a disappearing phenomenon. What is more, the new e-mail scandal, the fact that Democrat delegets are yelling "lock her up," and the Wasserman Shcultz fiasco create the potenial for a negative bounce for Hillary.
Again, I am not saying that I support Trump--I despise both cadndiates. But are the clouds starting to part a bit on the denial that Trump is a viable candidate?
When the mothers of the movement came on stage last night, and the crowd chanted black Lives matter. .. that was the last straw. What a disgrace.
And then today... Trump really took on the Democrats at that press conference... the public loves it. Nobody ever had the balls to stand up to the media. Not in sports or politics.
I have discovered that liberals are pretty much lazy slugs. So the fact that they are going into overdrive to post all these ridiculous threads bashing Trump and defending Hillary, means they know their welfare gravy train is in jeopardy

Actually, not.
Trump will not be cutting welfare or medicaid.
Trump will also be helping students.
His plan is to leg-up to get people off welfare,
not to strip them of their benefits.

This is why Trump will massacre Hillary.
This week. Those are his plans this week. He changes his mind so often it makes your head spin. And he makes stuff up, so I doubt he will even know what he's promised. Besides--they are only suggestions. The guy has a list of excuses a mile long.
The left thinks that everyone agrees with them. It never occurs to them that someone might see something differently.
