TYT: Hillary Clinton Now Losing To Donald Trump

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows Donald Trump is now ahead of Hillary Clinton by two points. They can’t seem to believe their own poll. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.

with me during their attacks of Bush era ... until I started researching their claims. They have not improved, now that they are attacking Democrats.

If I want political insights, TYT is one of my favorite sources.

You should watch the video. You seem to be under the impression that it's an attack on Democrats. It's not. It's an observation that the mood of the country and polling data suggest the current Democratic strategy just may put a Republican in the White House.

Like I said ... they were my go to source during the bush era ... until I did my own research. There were simply too many instances were I had to back off what they had convinced me of.

And, I tried to watch one of the debates they broadcast ... I felt like I was watching a Green-bay play-off game in a room full of folks wearing Cheesehead gard.

The end of the trail for Bernie leaves the independent white voters who hate Hillary for being liar to vote for KKK supported pathological liar Trump. Go figure.

And the best way to drive them to Trump is to attack white voters.
Spite is a human emotion too.

Hillary has never had her polling improve over an opponent.

She always starts high, then her numbers erode over the course of a campaign.

That she is already in a statistical dead heat with several months still to go is a tell that she will likely lose.

If Hillary is nominated and loses, the democratic party is toast. They put all their authority and prestige to forcing Clinton on America. It would be the end of the democratic party. I sincerely hope they come to their senses before that happens.

Some real numbers for you 60% of Sanders supporters, including myself will not vote for her; Millennials will not vote for her; most independents will not vote for her.

Lastly she is "Get out the vote," on Steroids for Republicans. Her being nominated would ensure a record turnout for their party.

Trump got a bump from winning the nomination and having Republicans coalesce around him. Hillary is fighting two fronts, with her Democratic opponent calling her "evil" on Sunday and Trump sliming her at every opportunity.

She is caught between a Trump and a Sanders. If she is elected POTUS, I certainly hope the leaders of other countries won't be as tough on her.

Whenever a result is within the margin of error, it is a tie.

And this isn't surprising since Hillary's being forced to fight a battle on two fronts.

boo hoo boo hoo

I don't believe all of these polls, and I haven't followed them for a long time now. If you want more Democrats in office, do something to support them on a local level. We have to take back the House and Senate from these greedy traitors.

Hillary isn't perfect. Who is? You are never going to get exactly what you want in politics. Tearing down your party won't help.
