It's the internal polling that would make hin drop out, not the public pills, which he could say are "rigged" and "unfair." All of the internal polling shows he is losing the swing states and even sone of the traditionally red states. 

Even Breitbart.com. which is his biggest support network commissioned thier own poll to prove the other polls wrong. Breitbart's results: Clinton in a solid lead and gaining.

Here's the Breitbart poll they're so sad about. It has Hillary winning 42-37:

Just when you thought the Trump campaign couldn't get any classier, they go and add Roger Ailes.

It's not going to be a debate. It's going to be celebrity mud wrestling.

New polling data from Texas shows Trump with a 6% lead.  More importantly, take a look at the demographic info in the 2nd paragraph.  It bodes very well for the Dems in the future.

It really seems to put the final nail in the "Trump is gonna pivot, just you wait!" coffin.

The thing is, polls/statistics can be spun lots of different ways.  There are SO many, and most people--especially toothless uneducated middle-America--don't read the fine print.  And while I definitely prefer her over Donald Crazytown, anyone stuck on "the polls say Hillary's up by this/many points" from day to day up til the election may not vote bc they think it's a sure thing.  People need to vote no matter what the polls say.  Even if you don't like the two main candidates--or know someone who feels that way--encourage them to write someone in.

PS--anyone see Michael Moore's open letter to Ivanka this week, and/or his article just yesterday making the case that Donald's sabotaging himself on purpose?  Sorry but I love him.

Not more than a month ago, Moore went on Bill Maher and declared he thought Trump was going to win the election.  He's certainly changed his tune awfully quickly.

I thought the same thing. Michael Moore is one big click-bait.

What else do you expect from an ugly fatass who criticizes corporations for taking advantage of tax breaks then turns around and receives millions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks from cities and states all over the country for his film projects?  #truth #lookitup

Does anyone still believe Trump has set himself up explicitly to martyr himself and ensure a victory for Clinton? I suspect that Trump has done more than sink his political aspirations, he's sunk his brand, his business, his family reputation and possibly his fortune. If Trump is actively trying to self-sacrifice, he's thrown away more than anyone else in the history of things. I tend to believe he's deluded but at least moderately sincere; becoming the face of hatred and xenophobia just to help out a friend is some movie third-act twist stuff.

There is no way this is a set up to benefit Clinton.  They're making specious allegations about her health and revisiting her husband's infidelities. Adding Bannon to the campaign will only lead to even more conspiracy theories directed at her.

Don't have any links right now but I've heard legitimate rumblings of the preparation for a Brietbart/Trump television network launch, and that is the only reason he brought Bannon on-board. Time will tell.

That makes sense, and I'd expect Sean Hannity to be their centerpiece.  Not sure when Hannity's contract expires with Fox.  If true, this only gives them more incentive to blow up the election as yuuuuge as possible.

[Liza's Headband]

Posted: 8/18/16 at 10:59am

Correct. And, as I understand it, that's the primary reason their driving narrative is centered on the "corrupt" and "crooked" media, rather than the actual candidate he's facing (there is a clear imbalance of focus in recent days/weeks).

[PalJoey]

Posted: 8/18/16 at 8:32pm

 

Hannity has a clause allowing him to leave if Ailes leaves, so Hannity will go to the new network.

One caveat: those "legitimate rumblings" are nothing more than conjecture. No deals have m=been made, no papers drawn up, not even a handshake agreement. Just people looking at the dissolution of Fox News and confluence of Ailes and Bannon around Trump and saying, "This could be the new Fox News." 

But Trump himself is the wild card, and he is more out of control than ever, so only a fool would put money on this --or any other possible outcome of Trump in this election.

Okay, then call me a fool. The legitimate rumblings coming from reputable insiders at Trump tower. I'll share the links when I can find them again.

I just pictured Trump as Charlie Kelly from "It's Always Sunny," screaming "WILD CARD, BITCHEZZZZZZZ" as he cuts the brakes on the van and dives out the back door.

[PalJoey]

Plus, Roger Ailes signed a non-compete clause, so he can't have anything to do with a competing network for one or two years.

Nothing is on paper because Trump's FEC attorneys won't let him make deals while he is still a candidate for president. So all the talk is no more than conjecture (from the Never-Trump crowd) and wishful thinking from the sinking Trumpshippers.

The bigger story is the resignation of Paul Manafort and what it will reveal about Trump's Ukrainian investors...

Trump's new guy is really doing a good job. I donot understand why Hilary is staying away from Louisiana. She is giving g him a big opening and a chance to get back in the race when she should have her foot on his neck to end it. . Also The President not giving up his vacation to go down there. He looks very bad. He rigjtly critcized Bush for not gping there and now he is doing it worse hanging with celebrities on Martha Vineyard
