The media asks will Trumps voters come out to vote!?

 

I read an article a few days ago about Trump voters, in it they pointed out 10% of democrats where reregistering as republicans to vote for Trump. The article was strongly biased as it spun the data to suggest Trumps support was coming from these democrats and begged the question "will they actually show up to vote?"

As it turned out in the fine print at the bottom Trump is garnering over 40% of these voters but Trump is also in the 30% in every conservative group. Which means Trumps support is broad based and not isolated to these democrats who have crossed over to the GOP.

As I read the article I wondered why they where not pondering that with such a large number of democrats changing from democrat to republican for this election how it would effect democrat candidates instead of questioning weather they would actually come out and vote for republicans. It seems to me some one willing to go to the court house and change party affiliation are energized to vote or they would not have made the effort. This was likely just a democrat thinking someone who has been a democrat will decide not to come to the polls. LOL

Polling data suggests we are seeing a sea change in minority voting patterns and this shift to the GOP is coming from that group or at least a large percentage of it in any case. The media seems to be telling this group to stop Trumps a bigot but they don't seem to care. If I was a democrat this would scare me to death but the media remain content on telling everyone to stop play nice and let us tell you who you want to vote for.

Then today I see the headline: 

Democrats unsure Hillary Clinton can beat Donald Trump in general election

Even though the article makes every effort to suggest Hillary is worth voting for at least it scratched on the idea that Trump can win and become POTUS. I think as time goes by this narrative is very likely to grow in stature.

I agree, based on the mega rallies for Trump and the little rallies for all the others its clear Trump will rule on election day. The Trump rallies have grown larger then even Obama and we are still in the primary. LOL

We shall see shortly DV....I can remember back when Trump owned Casino's in Atlantic City, when he was in town on Saturday night you could aways count on seeing hundreds and hundreds of people hanging around one of the escalators. Trump would generally make his appearance at 11 PM with his wife or whoever he was dating at the time and take a five-minute stroll around the casino with the woman on his arm and his bodyguards trailing behind him. He would complete that walk then return to the roof to board his helicopter back to NY. Trump has always drawn a crowd of googlers for years. I don't think to see a celebrity equates to votes. By the way, Obama could draw a crowd of 40,000 in a few days notice. His popularity was created by Oprah, not his speech making or his color. Oprah provided for his victory in 2008 and 2012, otherwise, we would have had eight years of Clinton.
