1. As more Repubs have dropped out, and Sanders approaches dropping, HRC is not picking up new votes

May 2016

The people voting for Cruz and company aren't going to vote for HRC, and many Sanders supporters are sitting out ,3rd party and some even voting for Trump.

The HRC supporters can yell all they want. This is the reality of what is happening. The trend is going to continue. HRC won't go down alone. She'll bring the whole undercard down with her.

4. This is false, the internals on every poll looks horrible for tRump especially in the swing states..

... in regards to whites, blacks, Hispanics, women, dogs and cats... he's doing worse now with a nom bump than rMoney did in 2012.

Nationally tRump has the nom bump but he still can't get above HRC's numbers past the MOE.

Clintons camp has the responsibility of defining tRump to the GE electorate which they're starting now...

They're the adults in the room, even during the election they're taking the right steps.

tRump has a floor of 45% of RNC voters... doesn't matter what he says or does they'll vote for him but a 5 - 7% loss of white votes is not good for tRump.

What the internals are to these polls.

But then again, it's only May, and we're still in primary more on our side, so

I know it's Fox "News," but even 538 says their polling arm is within normal range.



If this keeps up, we're going to need an, "I Told You So!" smilie.

This year is NO different from any other election year. And if we lose, we will blame it on the Bernie supporters.

14. What else would you expect, he has no competition on the GOP side

Inevitably you would expect support to coalesce around the established nominee on that side and for the trend to reverse one the Democrats select their nominee or one of the candidate drops out.
