Trump’s Poll Surge Is Serious – Stop Pretending It Doesn’t Matter

[GoLeft TV]

Polls change constantly, but Trump’s convention bounce is a very serious threat. Factor in the turmoil in the Democratic Party as their convention starts, and you start to realize that this bounce might be permanent if the DNC can’t repair the damage they’ve caused to themselves. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. I think Trump could win.

I don't think it's the likeliest scenario.

6. You think?

Why do you suppose during the longest primary ever...Hillary supporters wanted the primary to end...for Bernie not to take it to Philadelphia. We knew that there is no such thing as an easy election. We wanted to unify those we could and put it behind us. Bernie could release all his delegates to Hillary...it does not have to be this way. And it is hurting our chances.

7. I don't think a long primary need harm a candidate.

There was a long primary in 2008, and I don't think it harmed Obama. Some Obama supporters thought so at the time, I think.

I think that this convention could be the culmination of progressive unity.

2. It doesn't matter...Good lord....

Don't drink the koolaid

3. More FUD from RoF.

Seems to be what they specialize in.

4. There are lots of people here that are just delusional. Somehow people here

got this idea she can't lose because of white voters dropped from 71% down to 69% or something like that. I say bullshit
Trump is going to win unless they get their head out of their ass.

5. Hillary's in trouble

no doubt about it. Millions of dollars in advertising to no effect. Trump makes a buffoon of himself at the convention and the convention is a comedy of errors and he gets a large poll bounce. Granted, you have to wait until mid-August to get the first real read of things, and the first debate matters as well, but as of this moment, it's not looking good.

Please note my concern!!

8. its noted

but have a little faith. Look at the demographics.... Trump black vote - close to 0% in many states, latino voters 15% or less, These 2 groups put Mr Obama in the whitehouse both terms.....

9. He got white votes too and Hillary is going to get a lot less I think. Trump

hasn't even spent any money and he is ahead in the polls. What is worse is he his neck and neck in the swing states.

10. Donald Trump “John Miller” AKA Tiny Hands will never be Elected....

11. I wouldn't put too much faith in the polls right now. HOWEVER,

I do not think enough Democrats are taking Trump seriously enough if DU is any indication. He should be taken as a real threat and treated as such...because he is. That someone like him is actually this close to the reigns of power already is truly frightening to me. He should have never made it out of 2015 let alone be the Republican nominee. In a sane society, that would have been the case. But a good portion of Americans are bat shit crazy and think of Trump as one of their own. Do NOT underestimate him.
