Trump Surges Past "Almost Apologetic" Hillary As Presidential Front-Runner, Latest Poll Shows
Despite the liberal media spinning Hillary's non-apology as bringing her closer to the American public, it appears her presidential campaign took another shot to the chest this weekend. Not only does Bernie Sanders keep rising in the polls, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton head-to-head, garnering 45% support versus 40% of his Democratic rival, according to a new national poll.
As Press TV reports, while the popularity of Trump campaign increased through the summer, Clinton could not improve her image among likely voters over her lack of transparency and trustworthiness as former secretary of state.
According to a CNN/ORC sampling of national voters conducted in late June, just days after Trump entered the competition, 59 percent backed Clinton as opposed to 34 percent who supported Trump in a head-to-head matchup.
In July, the same polling organization put Clinton at 57 percent to Trump at 38 percent with another one in August showing Clinton with 52 percent support and Trump with 43 percent.
The Survey USA poll shows that Trump has also beaten Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 44 percent to 40 percent; Vice President Joe Biden by 44 percent to 42 percent; and former Vice President Al Gore by 44 percent to 41 percent.
And now, as The new poll, conducted by Survey USA, marks a significant turnaround in the polls.
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton head-to-head, garnering 45 percent support versus 40 percent of his Democratic rival.
This comes as another survey revealed Thursday showed Trump has hit a new high in the race to the Republican presidential nomination. According to the survey by Monmouth University, the businessman now enjoys a 30 percent support nationally.
As Doyle McManus writes in The LA Times,
I talked with Republican wise men last week — sober establishment strategists who have seen many presidential campaigns come and go — to ask them how long the improbable popularity of Donald Trump can last. Reassure me, I said: He can't actually win, right?
Their answers surprised me.
"It's not inconceivable," Vin Weber, a former congressman (and Jeb Bush supporter) told me. "It doesn't look as if he's going to implode any time soon…. It's hard for me to say this, but he actually seems to be getting better as a candidate."
"Trump has put himself on the short list of five or six names who could win the nomination," said another GOP operative who insisted on anonymity because he's working for one of those other candidates. "It's not impossible that he could win."
Until a few weeks ago, the conventional wisdom held that Trump was merely a summer fling for angry voters, a protest candidate whose insults and braggadocio would soon impose a ceiling on his support. But recent polls suggest that Trump has raised that ceiling.
...
On balance, a Trump victory still appears unlikely; his conservative credentials are too weak, his political experience too thin. "I'm hearing people talk about him as if he were the inevitable nominee," Weber said. "We aren't there yet."
But Republican Party's grandees are glumly acknowledging that America's love affair with Trump is more than a summer romance — maybe a lot more.

The best part of a Trump presidency will be the first couple of weeks, when he fires all the incompetent department heads Obama hired. If nothing else, that alone will be worth it.
John Bolton is Trumps go to guy for foreign policy that to me is scarier than any Clinton manifestation

Do we have to bring our own books to the book burnings, or are they provided?
I don't mean to interrupt,
but all your bitching and moaning is a waste of time and energy;
unless a critical mass of hardcore Patriots are put into Congress,
the game as you know it is over.
But as we see, it wasn't a game, was it...
About time to water that fucking tree.
Is this the first time that grandparents are running against each other for president?
always heard that the Demz were cool'n'hipp'n'shit.
I'm all for Trump if he started sending illegals back and enforcing immigration. Illegal immigration without assimilation doesn't work in the best interest of the country. I'd also be curious to see if we then couldn't get some better candidates that aren't bought and paid politicians.
Fuck it. Let's do our own fucking poll.
Up vote for Alexa's vagina
Down vote for Hillary's vagina

If you'd enjoy some additional Hillary Bashing...check out the comments under this Washington Post article:
After a wilting summer, Clinton hopes for a fall reboundhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/after-a-wilting-summer-clinton-ho...
Bill Clinton was overheard commenting that he too has been "feeling the Bern lately" although, some have speculated that he may have been referring to chlamydia.
If Trump doesn't stomp that clitcunt bitch into the ground until there is nothing left but blood and fucking shit, I will never forgive him.
Now is the time, just fucking do it
You guys are stupid. Trump promising to kick out Mexicans is pretty much exactly like Obama promising to close Guantanamo Bay and institute health care reform without an insurance mandate. You laughed at Obama supporters for believing him... so what the fuck are you doing?!
Notice how the Democrat presidents need to hang around long after their terms .... Clinton, Carter .... the Republicans have the class to vacate the office .... Reagan, Bush .... I 'm afraid Obama will be even needier !
Only another fifteen months of this shit. What difference does it make?
Bad news kids, the holy Trumpet is resurrected! He's incorruptible, immortal, and going to win, it's been written in holy sheep entrails!

hahahah :D
Heaven knows we need a change.
The current choice in the UK:
1) Neo-Liberal with a right wing bias - Conservative
2) Neo-Liberal straight up - Liberal
3) Neo-Liberal with a left wing bias - Labour
The current choice in the US:
1) Wall Street with a hint of Republican
2) Wall Street with a hint of Democrat
The 1% have someone to vote for in both nations, the 99% are now being catered for.
Real question is - how the hell is she still getting 40%???
I caught a line in a paragraph buried in the second page about Bush. It stated that Bush's donors pressured him to "fight back" against Trump. Hey, the big doners OWN Bush, they pull the strings. You want HIM in office, serving his overloard "Donors"??????? Jeeeze.
Anyway, Obidient Bush went on air to recite the attack/talking points provided him by his handlers. He gave a good college try to appear with "High Energy Attack Dog" routine. Dind't work. Pathetic.
Our system requires fealty, blind obendience to those who finance the campaign. Bought. Trump is not bought, for better or worse.
double post...can one erase it?
