Romney had 48% of the vote.

Trump is currently polling an average of 37.4% -- a whole 10% and change down from Romney's share. Now some undecideds will break for him. The rise of 3rd parties this election is not an excuse as it is his and Hillary's behavior that has led to that.

Anyone new that Trump has brought into the GOP, it seems as if he has ran off a larger number - at least so far.

What new people did he bring to the GOP?

As far as I am aware the KKK, Fox viewers, Evangelicals, (Who ought to be ashamed of themselves for supporting such an immoral candidate. WWJS?) fringe right wing folks, NRA... all have been Republicans all along.

So what new group did he bring into the fold?

The ones so anti-government that they used to do us the favor of staying home. I read somewhere that over 30% of Trump's primary voters were not registered Republicans two months prior to the primary. However, the bulk of them were disinfranchadied Democrats or fad voters. The fad voters are reportedly falling off and many of the crossover voters have apparently rethought their choice. The only reason Trump is the nominee is because the better candidates were splitting votes.

I agree with you about the Evangelicals, they ought to be ashamed of themselves and based on this election should quit calling themselves that. They sure didn't vote for Trump based on biblical principles, which was supposedly was their motivating factor in election choice.

Another demonize Trump thread. How refreshing haven't seen many of them.

Apparently crooked Hillary's positions on issues are not popular or worth talking about. That's understandable really because they are a disaster and all her experience ends in failure.

The polls didn't work that well in the UK and it is quite possible we will see that here too. One election day we will find out if America is worth supporting or if it should be just a land mass inhabited by people supporting anarchy.

This is what is known as whistling past the graveyard.

LOL. Did you feel a big gust of wind as the point flew over your head? Nah, you probably never noticed it.

Your posts are always good for a laugh. Thanks!

polls are faked and slanted, stop listening to them. ALL of them. The polling agencies had already come out and said so.
