Please read this and REALLY try to understand: this is the general election. It is not the primary.

I think all of you are shocked because he said stupid **** constantly and still won against republicans. You are the base. You are totally okay with his remarks, childishness, and stupidity. The rest of us are not you. We find him repulsive. This is why he isn't winning now. It's really that simple.

Trump is making his statements himself. I know you want to blame the media right after he hired the media for his campaign, but people hear him saying this stuff. It's on television. Again, its the general election. We aren't going to laugh and say well what he really means is... He is running for president. He, at the most basic level, should have the ability to say what he really means. Trump is to blame for his poll numbers. You guys can shake-up the campaign, deflect, and create conspiracies all day long, but as long as he keeps talking, he's done.

And I'll remind you that Trump was the consistent poll leader for the Republican nomination since July of 2015. From mid-July through the point at which Trump clinched the Republican nomination, there were 99 national polls.

Carson led in 4 (last fall)
Cruz led in 1 (in February)
Trump led in 94 of the 99

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination

You have to be a special combination of clueless and deep in denial to not comprehend that the election day result correlates with the aggregated polls the vast majority of the time.

Of course, I realize that speaking to the same goobers who were busy 'unskewing' the polls in 2012 and proclaiming that their 'unskewing' was showing a yuge Romney landslide looming!

Point out those posts, please. I notice posts that are the opposite - posts bashing people with degrees, for no reason. Posts that try to dumb down those people with degrees and posts that accuse them of acting superior. Posts that say those with degrees don't have common sense, or that those folks are stupid for going to school because they work at Starbucks and it's assumed they are all in-debt.

So I missed the posts that you are mentioning.

Sorry, but Trump isn't going to be like Bernie, and allow the democrats to steal the election.
The Clintons have rigged the election just like the primaries. Trump is a Clinton plant, its over before it even started. You HONESTLY think the two most unpopular and untrustworthy candidates in modern times actually got elected as the two candidates? LMAO!!!! The whole system is rigged.

What are your thoughts?
Trump overhauls his campaign for the third time in a year. I think the polls are concerning to him. He used to boast about polls all the time, but now they're meaningless to you **********s and Trumpster himself? I think he'd keep the campaign staff intact if he weren't worried.

Did you read the title of your thread?

I'm laughing pretty good, you?

Its official, the thread is dead.

Historically, who is leading in the polls at this point tends to win, but we still have to get through the debates. I have my doubts that Trump even shows up to them, and 3 months is a long time for Trump to do and say plenty more astronomically stupid and offensive things. I'd wager that there's a significantly higher chance that Hillary's lead isn't done growing rather than Trump making up the difference and coming back to win. His supporters are obviously violently rocking back and forth in denial at this point, but it is what it is. Trump is one of the worst, if not worst, nominees in the history of American presidential elections.

If Trump is a Clinton plant, how "tremendously" stupid do his supporters have to be at this point?

I think Hill's gonna clobber Trump.

But between now and Nov 8th, we'll be treated to a VERY entertaining spectacle as Drumpf drags the GOP down with him.
