    If the guy would have stuck with what he's doing in his latest rallies all campaign he'd probably be up now.

    There is something about this election that just screams Reagan and Carter. All the polls showed Carter leading by a comfortable margin and when the country woke up the next day they discovered that Reagan won in a landslide.

    There is just something weird about it, Trumps rallies have the look of a presidential candidate while Hillary's look like a highschool debate meet, yet the polls show Hillary crushing Trump. Who knows maybe I am blinded by my disdain for Hillary and big government but all the media's boisterous claims just reek of desperation in a last ditch effort of psychological warfare.

    Maybe it is because I do not live in a metro area and more of the subburbs but I have yet to meet someone around here who is voting for Hillary, let alone seeing Hillary signs. All I see is Trump shit everywhere, gives me hope.

    I here you.
    I live in NC and while the media has the polls Hillary up, Trump signs outnumber Hillary ones 5-1 and I live in one of the more democratic counties.

    The early voting place near me (more of a republican node) has had 1- 2 hour long lines constantly, I went pokemon hunting with my kids on Saturday to downtown (ghetto) Raleigh, (to a park that was a Cubone nest) but also was an early voting place and it was like a ghost town, we were there for an hour and a half and there was barley a line the entire time.

    There does seem to be a big enthusiasm gap. I see 5-1 Trump supporters by lawn sign and bumper sticker but you can cover a lot of Republican ground and miss a huge portion of the electorate. I don't know if it means much.

    Even online though I see the same if not more slanted. Go look at any presidential post on Facebook for ABC. Of course a lot of that could just be paid trolls.

    I live in Kansas which Cruz took with about 48% in the primary and Trump trailing in 2nd place with 23%.
    People are still pissed off Cruz didn't get the nom and I see no signs for anyone. No Trump, no Hillary.

    I don't argue that the media is leaning towards Clinton, but it's why.

    Trump has decided to wage war against the media, he has made many many enemies in the media... Why do we think they are against him? In my opinion, he has no one to blame but himself for the media biased.

    Other than just calling out individuals from every major media outlet, he has said some sort of discrimination to women, African Americans, Mexicans, Muslims, almost every nation in the Middle East. He has a created an enemy at every media outlet... Hell, even Fox for F sake. The media is not the court of law, if someone says Fuck you to them they are going to say Fuck you right back.

    Use sports for example; if there is an athlete that hates the media or refuses to give them the time they feel they deserve, they are going to create negative characteristics for the athlete.

    It is a shame the people don't read policy and use their own judgement to come up with who is the right person to be President... Too many people do rely on media outlets and ALL of them are biased to one side or the other. It falls on Donald that even outlets that have supported Republican for over a century has chosen not to this election.

    I think it is going to very close as well... Hell, the people who are voting for Hillary say it's because the alternative is worse. Trump supporters love the guy.

    What I find really interested is we know that Trump has supporters who are almost afraid to say they support Trump because of fear of backlash, but he also has a huge contingency that wear their support of him proud. I am not sure I have seen it both ways to such a strong degree.

    I think I said it in this thread, but the most truthful thing he has said this entire election cycle is that he can shoot someone dead in the street in Times Square and his supporters would still love him.

    The Trump fans in my life (all four of them) are the more obnoxious people in my life so I'm not shocked that Trump signs outnumber Clinton signs. Then again, I think posting political signs in your yard is stupid as hell.

    I always make my decisions on who I'm voting for based on the political signs I see on the way to the polling station. Whoever has more signs gets my vote.

    It's fascinating but I am fairly certain I've seen about an equal number of Clinton and Trump bumper stickers here in NYC. It doesn't mean that there are many Trump stickers here. It's just there are so few Clinton ones. Now if we go 8 years back, Obama's bumper stickers were seen everywhere.

    A QUESTION,,,are any of you people regardless of who you support familiar with Huma Abedin ? In case you are unaware she is Hillarys right hand,,,,but do you know anything about her and her families ties to Muslim Extremists ? it is amazing that Hillary has this woman in any government position let alone her "right hand " and whats more amazing is you don't hear about her family or the positions SHE has held in her FAMILY run businesses . Feel free to to post a link or videos as I am unable to but this is all true and documented. I can only imagine the backlash had this woman been working for Trump or Bernie or anyone else or maybe in our PC world it would still go unmentioned,,simply amazing this story is a non story, its scary !

    3x-5x more Hillary signs in my general neck of the woods--presumably these Hillary fans are all swell sports, much like yourself.. On a related note, this past weekend I saw that a friend had installed a Hillary/Tim sign on his lawn. The guy lives in a very 'blue' neighborhood here in (West. Co.) that Hillary&Bill went NY home shopping in before they decided to "Occupy Chappaqua" ....speaking of which, the guy's a hedge fund partner., <--swear to god lol.

    yes, but I'm plugged into all those channels that would make one aware.
