I don't know about other polls, but I said yesterday and the day before that I thought her lead would go way down when the next polls came out. Trump’s last three days have been--for him--much better, and he's been having really big rallies this week and leaving the overall impression of Trump the Winner, like before. I see him as a total loser, of course, but I'm talking about people who are easily influenced by the little that they bother paying attention to. <br /><br />Even with Melania's and Trump’s scandals and dumb moves of late, Trump used written-down talking points Thurs.-Sat., and by going on and on about the 400 million and the emails, he was staying on message. On her own, and even with Kaine, Hillary’s just not got enough to keep people as excited about her and wanting to know what she’s doing as when at the convention. I know she was out there with Buffet and that Obama made some jabs at Trump, but if Trump stays on message I really think the Dems should do something more showy to counter him. He’s also going to do an economy talk Monday. He’s going to have, I think, 16 names he announces of advisers. This is all that Trump ever has to do so that the public thinks he’s legit. <br /><br />Obama’s going to be on vacation. I get that he wants to be with his family, but I’d love it if he did a rally (even two) and didn’t wait until after Labor Day to get going campaigning for Hillary. We’ve not seen Elizabeth Warren. Bernie’s probably thinking he’ll say a few nice things come October. We’ve not really seen the political stars since the end of the convention. Hillary needs star power going out there twice a week to keep the public excited about her and not looking at Trump again, which they’ll do as long as he avoids major mistakes. It feels like people are saying, well, it’s August and the last part of summer and then school starts up, so we’ll wait on this until September, but I really wanted to see Hillary keep her big lead and Trump continue to be anxious and desperate. Now, I think, he’s starting to feel good again.<br /><br />I know what people are saying out there about the polls, but Americans have a short attention span and that does not help Hillary. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-2026105803429228712016-08-06T19:38:17.923-08:002016-08-06T19:38:17.923-08:00I wonder who Karl Rove is going to vote for.

Also, they probably had the voting machines in OH rigged. Remember his son owned the company that ran the machines that they used there? IMO -- if you remember, there were two places in the state where the numbers were late coming back, one GOP area and Cleveland. What happened was, they were ready to change enough votes in the GOP area to win, based on the kind of turnout they were expecting. But in the end, there were hundreds of thousands of people waiting in line to vote in Cleveland when the polls closed, but there were only 50,000 votes outstanding in OH. So whatever they were planning was moot, it wouldn't have been enough.<br /><br />Of course, it would have been moot anyway, because Romney lost FL and VA, both of which were surprises. So even if Romney won OH, he would have lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-18434415224596440902016-08-06T17:37:43.053-08:002016-08-06T17:37:43.053-08:00OT
