The poll tide is turning

Following the email announcement the polls started going in the wrong direction. (I believe that anyone who thinks Trump got a "bounce" out of that depressing convention should not be commenting on politics.) However, post convention national polls are moving in the right direction again:

CBS News 7/29-7/31 Clinton 43 Trump 38 Johnson 10 Clinton +5

PPP 7/29-7/30 Clinton 46 Trump 41 Johnson 6 Clinton +5

2. It just speaks to the brain rot

in this country as a result of 30 years of right wing control of the media that 40+ % of the country could vote for a despicable, lying, scumbag such as Trump. It's incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

3. And the more people get to see the real Hillary rather than the fictional one

and the more Donald opens his mouth, it'll get bigger.

4. Still

40 or so percent will vote for this loose cannon and megalomaniac. do we want to live in a country where 2/5 at least are so misguided/stupid?

5. I don't have to like living in a country 2/5 of the population is....

....easily deceive by a super con man or is voting blindly for the Republican candidate regardless how despicable, but I do have to ensure that I do everything in my power to ensure that the closest Donald Trump comes to the White House is driving down Pennsylvania Ave.

6. I agree totally with your assessment

the "bounce" from the R convention was much more about the lingering effect of Comey knee capping Hillary.

FURTHER, if Comey had not pulled that bullshit stump to cut her legs out going into the conventions, instead of getting her pretty back to where she was, she likely would have come away from them with a much bigger margin.

Also factoring in the hacked DNC e-mails - minus those two hit jobs, she might be at 50% right now ...
