in this speech, i think trump is doing what a lot of people do unfortunately. sitting in his nice neighborhood and watching from afar, assuming that he knows all about this problem and how to fix it. has he ever been in one of these neighborhoods? not on purpose.

what about his actions would make anyone think that he wants to "listen" to the problems going on in these places?
 
I don't know that it is. The race has been pretty stable since the conventions, and I know you disagree, but I still think it's more likely to get a little closer than wider. What that could indicate is that all the ads, rallies, communications, etc., as well as the stupid campaign-season stories don't really matter. Could be that one really good thing that comes from all this is that a lot less money is spent on campaigns going forward, and we get blitzed with a lot less bullshit. Maybe not, but it's a possible result here.

Ads are only one small part of it. Any one piece is not super impactful on it's own, but collectively, it all matters, and I personally think it matters a lot.

Basically what you have here is one candidate who was completely prepared to run for President and another who was not. The local ground networks in the various states. The canvassers. The people on the phone. Trying to bring people over who are on the fence. Making sure the one's that are leaning your way go to the polls. You better believe that shit matters.

This will be the first presidential election my wife can vote in. She is from Scotland, but she did all the work and became an American about 2 years ago. In 2012, even though she could not vote, she volunteered for Barack's campaign. She personally drove 30 registered voters who did not have transportation to the polls to vote (for Barack). None of them had ever voted before. Some were in their 60's. She is doing the same for Hillary. She will be giving even more people a lift this time. A couple thousand people in Florida doing that and you can swing a swing state my friend. Oh Yeah- that shit matters.

I am sure there will be expansions and contractions of Hillary's lead in the polls between now and the election. But I think in the end, the margin of victory will be more than what you see now in the polls. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million popular votes and 300 electoral votes. And I think that will be a pretty clear suggestion that traditional campaigning does matter.
 
yes they were all wrong about brexit, too. the media gets paid by clinton and they are also liberal biased. they did the same thing with bernie sanders, he won a lot of polls and states that the media said he was losing. indiana for example. his win was only a surprise to people following the medias bullshit.


Especially Fox and Breitbart. They are way biased for clinton. Doubly so for breitbart. They love clinton so much the executive chairman of breitbart just got named chief executive of Trumps campaign.

The bias in favor of clinton is staggering. That or you are a moron.

lol breitbart probably doesnt even make 1 percent of the news market. whatever you have to tell yourself to help sleep at night, though.

And yet they still have trump losing in the polls. Probably because they love hillary, right?
 
This current form of Hillary would not give that speech. She is appealing more to the angry rioters and those that are mad at police while encouraging victimhood.

I already said that I agree that this will not gain him any black votes ...that isn't the point.
Yep, she even said that black communities and police need to work to restore trust. What a bitch for suggesting that cops could ever be wrong about anything and that any shootings could be the fault of anyone but black people.
