I'm glad to see more Trump supporters are refusing to take part in these polls than Hillary supporters. Frankly, I am susrprised any of them are. I would hang up on them if they bothered to call me.

Actually what she said was.

"They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Which is, TRUE...

I find it funny that the more people made fun of her for saying it, the dumber the american population appeared..

Can you really see Russia from Alaska?

He will scarf up money from his followers, from some big time donors that will come out of the woodwork and hope to get his candidates running in local, state elections the next cycle.
Cause he killed his real competition when he burned the GOP's house down in this election.

People like Steve Bannon from Breitbart and Roger Stone are not politicians --
they are egotists and anarchists who really don't give a hoot about the well-being of people in America...they just want to destroy the "powers that be" to see if they can...
this is not the populism of Teddy Roosevelt who wanted power for the people...
This is more like anarchy but will likely become fascism if Trump ever gains the Presidency.
Good eye!

There must be some grain of truth somewhere to grasp? Otherwise, why bother?

Just responding to your post. If I misread it, I apologize.

Hillary should be very nervous that there are still 3 weeks to go and the video and fake bimbo effects are already losing steam.

A LOT of Americans (not just Trump supporters) are tired of corruption & lying in government. Why do you think Bernie did so well until crooked Hillary and her spin machine took him out? I really believe Bernie's movement was to try to give government back to the people. I certainly didn't believe the rest of his liberal message but do believe he was truthful.

What Trump will do is appeal to all people...Especially Bernie supporters (who Hillary double crossed), Blacks (who Hillary panders to promising everything and delivering nothing), Latinos (who SHE insulted), and religious people (especially Catholics) who she distains.....He will appeal to all of those she lied to, and as Wiki Leaks keeps turning Americans against her with each drip they will flock to Trump who has been honest to a fault.

THAT is how he will win this election.....One WL drip at a time!!

I think we are getting close to that reality. There's information, no doubt, but the mass media in my view in many quarters has just become an opinion/agenda pusher. I think that's why there's such a huge amount of interest on google search with wikileaks data. People are starved for what's really going on in the world/in our government and they feel they can't trust many in the mainstream media to report it to the average person.

Here's the reality on the sad level of trust in the mass media by the public. It's pathetic:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-med...in-2016-228168

"The American public’s trust in the media in 2016 has fallen to its lowest point since at least 1972, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.

Thirty-two percent of the respondents in Gallup’s most recent national poll said that they have “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in the mass media, an eight percentage-point drop compared to 2015. It’s the lowest point in Gallup’s polling history, which began asking respondents whether they had trust and confidence in the media in 1972."

They did it leading up to and all during the Republican primaries. Bush was leading Bigly.
This. Each establishment puppet was trotted out and then the polls magically showed how they had more support and chances of winning against Trump. Cruz was the establishment's last puppet and they held their nose and made him their guy. Hell even Kasich supposedly was the best candidate but couldn't win anything but his home state. People showed up at the polls in record numbers and the rest is history.

So enjoy these polls for a while, but what really matters is Nov 8th.

So he is tanking in the polls because Trump supporters are not taking part in poll calls?
