Trump Doesn’t Believe Polls Showing He’s No. 2

Bloomberg Politics:

Donald Trump, who has spent most of the summer leading the Republican presidential field in the polls, told a Miami rally Friday he isn't buying the results of two recent surveys that show him falling into second place in the state that will kick off the voting in 2016.

"I love Iowa, and I honestly think those polls are wrong," the billionaire told a crowd gathered to hear him at one of his own resorts, the legendary Doral golf course. "Both of those polling companies do not like me."


Now why does that comment sound familiar.....

i find it fascinating that just one week after the gop establishment basically announced that they are taking him down, that after being in the clear lead for weeks/months, he is "suddenly" down to a guy most have still never heard of. people can poll sample in a way to get whatever result they want. not buying.

When they show him behind, he thinks they're wrong.

Oh god, this election is depressing the shit out of me.

was pretty sure that the polls were "skewed". He and his wife still find it hard to believe that the only way they will ever see the inside of the White House is to secure a couple of tickets and stand in line.

the election. I walked into the dispatch office that morning and he was sitting there with a bunch of truck drivers,. He looked at me and said, I imagine you are happy this morning. I smiled and said, the majority of Americans are happy today. He stood up and left and went back to his own office.

The beginning of the end. It's all starting to unravel.

He was damn lucky to make it this far.
