I agree with you.

I hope Trump has been studying foreign policy. If he is ignorant of foreign policy, he won't win the Independents.

Will Hillary call Trump a "sexist" if he challenges her? I wonder how she will defend accepting donations from foreign governments, insurance companies, big banks, and Wall Street.

It will be interesting debates.

Sure they don't. That's what Mitt Romney thought in 2012 as well.

Pity, that.

That poll is from the Clinton News Network, kills the legitimacy of that poll.

Pretty slim if that is all they do, call 1,000 individuals. Generally pollsters will call until they get the a sample of a 1,000 or do we have no idea how many people they called before they reached their sample size based upon party affiliation etc.

The look on Eric Cantors face at 10pm election night, was priceless.
Polling is awesome, he thought.
