***** BREAKING***** Marist Poll- Clinton 48 Trump 33 !!!!!!!!




Hillary Clinton has surged to a 15-point lead over reeling, gaffe-plagued Donald Trump, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

Clinton made strong gains with two constituencies crucial to a Republican victory – whites and men — while scoring important gains among fellow Democrats, the poll found.

Clinton not only went up, but Trump went down. Clinton now has a 48-33 lead, a huge turnaround from her narrow 42-39 advantage last momth.

The findings are particularly significant because the poll was taken after both political conventions ended, and as Trump engaged in a war of words with the parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, killed in the Iraq War 12 years ago.

that way.

He sincerely believes that these polls must be rigged because he could NOT possibly lose. He's been living in a bubble of his own making since whenever and his closest entourage continues to enable that kind of thinking.

He has no experience of reality.

for the Democrats and here's why.
The Republican National Committe would appoint a relacement nominee and the 168 people tasked with doing that would certainly look to someone who could defeat Clinton. Read: a sane, right-of- center candidate who would appeal to Independents. Remember this individual will bypass the primaries and not have to pass muster with the far right cracked teapots.

This is one of the 1st big polls where the Khan fiasco has been factored in. This is a devastating poll to Trump.

I wonder how long it will be until Trump perceives that the tacit support he is receiving from the Republican Party is at fault and decides to go scorched earth on them in retaliation? He's already hit Ryan, McCain, and Ayotte.

Not only is he polling terribly, he also has next to no ground game. We still need to GoTV and campaign like we're 5 points behind, but make no mistake Trump is in a very, very terrible place right now.

did something 16 GOP candidates and the mainstream media could not:

blew away Trump's wall and political career in a six minute lesson on the constitution delivered with the first amendment.

So poetic.

Only in America.

I sent Mr Khan a nice email of condolence and appreciation. I didn't expect anything back. He sent me a nice reply. In a private email, he is the very same as what he represented himself to be at the DNC and in the media: a nice, humble man and a good & decent American.

That was a great moment for ALL Americans and the world to see - especially the racists.

President Clinton won't be able to do squat without Democratic majorities in both houses. It'll be a repeat of the last few years, our president not able to do much of anything because of obstructionist GOPers.

Don't care what the poles show, too many people may stay home if they think their vote will not/does not count.
