Trump has found a way to connect with the common man, the "deplorables" if you will, like no other candidate has in many years, which is a very large voting bloc in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Ohio and one that the Dems are losing touch with more and more every day. Things like angry man hating women marching in p***y hats and Hillary encouraging social upheaval when Dems don't get their way don't resonate with the majority of the people here, it pushes them away, I don't know why that is so hard to understand. So your message hits home in NYC and Hollywood but you're losing middle America. That's a good thing?

The first time I saw a "Teamsters for Trump" bumper sticker I had to look twice. The second, third, fourth, etc.time, I knew we were on to something and there was change in the air. I was right.

The more I hear her, the more I am thankful she never got into power, because she sounds like she is a budding leftist totalitarian.

Those damn Deplorables!

I do agree its smart for her to stay away simply because the GOP hate machine has drummed up an irrational hatred of her that will turn people out to the polls. There is no benefit from her support.
Irrational hate?! She basically threatened - and in doing so encouraged - civil unrest until voters returned Democrats to power!

They needn't worry. She draws so few that the majority will never know she is involved. Many of the ones out rioting say they didn't vote anyway.

She is one sick unit.....all opponents would have to do is show that video of her being tossed in the van like a surfboard, not a good look for an Alynski radical........

Jeb, Daddy Bush, George...the whole lot of them are/were liberals (aka: RINOs).
They were always this way. We just fell for the act that they put on for awhile. One's true colors show once they are up against a real American leader who wants to put America first.

This is what I don't understand about this whole thing. Half the country is strongly against Trump but the half that is for him refuses to listen to why that might be the case. There is the assumption that us who see Trump as a con artist have something wrong with us. Yet, you claim with the other side of your mouth that Hillary is all these horrible things and don't see in inconsistency in your own belief structure. If you are correct about Hillary isn't it possible that other people are correct about Trump? In fact, isn't it likely? How have you avoided pitfalls that others have fallen into? This works in reverse too. I was a Bernie supporter and the noise made about Hillary caused me to try and verify some of the things said for my own information even though there was no way I was voting for an authoritarian.

The above is why I go back and forth with this being a satire site.

Trump is more popular than Pelosi and Schumer, and they are the 2 most powerful Democrats.
Trump's RealClearPolitics average approval rating is the same now as it was November 7th 2016.

Exactly. I am a politically active Democrat, and we have not been talking about her at all at the campaign rallies at all. We have been talking about the issues we face and the candidates who are running. The people who are STILL obsessed with her are Republicans. I suspect they are upset because Trump lost the popular vote to a mere woman

For Pete's sake. People are still talking about her because she won't SHUT UP about losing the election. And in case you weren't sure, the popular vote means about as much as a losing lottery ticket.
