I mean you did prove your point, Reagan did overcome crazy polling disadvantage, so you were right there. But as the article stated, polling tech and methods were a lot less accurate back then as well. Trump is losing popularity at the moment while Reagan was gaining it. Reagan was a nobody that everyone started to love all of a sudden and who busted onto the scene with a big win. Trump has been wildly unpopular for a long time now, and pretty much everyone knows about his failed business ventures.
I suspect they were waiting for the general election to whip all the dirt on Trump out, but nobody really has yet to leverage the fact that he's been convicted of fraud recently, has been the subject of over 150 investigations and lawsuits, lost many of them. He regularly lied to investors and used some very underhanded tactics to swindle people out of their money.

I have said this before and I guess I need to keep repeating it, " I do not have confidence Trump can win. " In fact, he was not my pick to be the GOP candidate. So you are correct, he has a lot to win over and it may be too big of a task. But, stranger things have happened. Very few thought he had any chance back in June of 2015 to win the GOP primary.

Part of that is the other candidates themselves. Another Bush. Theocratic zodiac killer. A Teahadist who couldn't win his own state. A surgeon with religious tourettes. A guy who hugged the black guy ruining the white house. A semi sane guy who couldn't get support because HE SOUNDED FUCKING SANE.
"Please pick up the turd by the clean end" seems to define this political cycle.
I thought this thread was about the Clinton Email scandal. I really want to know if there's truth behind the simple liability of the threat to security and not about intent. I dealt with secure information and I just don't see how in the hell I wouldn't be in jail for the shit she pulled.
Ramussen has notoriously been inaccurate, all of the others pretty much, for the most part, agree with each other and fall within the margin of error. When people talk about inaccurate polls, they think of things like the polls that predicted Romney victories, but again, those polls showed him with a 2-3 point lead, which is within the margin of error. When Obama beat him by 3 points, that was still within the margin of error.

I agree about Bush and Cruz is too conservative to win now anyway. The demographics of this country has changed too much. There were some good other candidates however. You may not like them, but I did. Such as Rubio and Kasich.

Not just them. You forgot the polling which showed Hillary leading by a good margin in Indiana and Michigan before the primary vote? And even Trump won his last states by a much better % than the polls showed.

It is and it has a lot to do with the general election overall. Which is why it may seem to be some off topic posts, they are not really.

First, and yes I'm using the same kind of rhetoric here the GOP is using against Clinton, we can't be sure. The RNC, who hosted the email server, deleted a lot of them. About a million. Wups!
Second, there were confirmed emails from "low-level staffers" Karl Rove, Andrew Card (White House Chief of Staff) and Ken Mehlman (White House Director of Political Affairs). And eighty-five other people, some in the office of the Vice President. So, not Cheney...maybe, but people on his staff, proven.
Third, it is exactly the same thing. Besides anything that might have been done with the emails that were deleted, the remaining emails were definitely connected to the (unprecedented) firings of 7 US Attorneys to solidify A.G Gonzalez's hold on the DOJ, and they also were connected to the public outing of CIA agent Valarie Plame, in direct revenge to her contradiction of the uranium story Bush told the world about Iraq.
Nothing was ever done by (big surprise) Attorney General Gonzales. There were some Senate followups but nothing came of it. Probably because there wasn't enough evidence of intentional wrongdoing.
LOL the answer would be the exact same, guilty or not they were never going to admit she did anything wrong.
HAHAAH what I find funny is that the FBI hasn't released any information, but an correspondent for CNN said "there isn't any wrongdoing".. Yeh.. the Clinton News Network says there is nothing wrong. I'll believe it when it comes from the mouths of the FBI and the judge. The reason it is taking so long is because they need full-proof evidence that Hillary's lawyers can't shrug off as "I had no knowledge' or 'O you mean wipe the server with like a cloth or something?" You can't rush a case that involves the clintons with such an extensive case as this.
