I do think Trump is a nonstarter (unless I am just not following his daily campaign escapades closely enough these days). He is falling behind in the polls and has had the worst month of his campaign. He has not united the party (I honestly don’t know if he is making an effort to do this?) - is not even visibly trying to do this to my knowledge. He is not making serious or effective public stands on issues like Brexit, etc. He seems to be coasting rather effortlessly to oblivion. (or has the media just dropped him as a story - that could be it) Maybe I need to google him. But this is no way to win an election. The fact that he is still actually competitive in some polling (not all) is an amazing statement about Hillary Clinton. Trump has no money from donors either. Again, that he is on the map at all is remarkable. I don’t know how long that will last though. The GOP is dismantling, as history would suggest it would under these circumstances. Most in the party openly admit it in Washington, I believe, pro or anti-Trump camps. I am not sure how committed anyone in the GOP, including Trump, are to trying to turn this around. As I hear it, the convention should be pretty quiet, except for the protestors outside. I don’t think much of the party beyond Trump and Gingrich plan to attend. Not sure on the delegates or Ryan.

It wasn’t done by Fox but an independent source which if you read the link below it tells. Fox used the same source.

Fact is Clinton and Trump are basically tied in this polling with a 4 point difference as she’s at 41 Not a significant difference.

Next the WSJ poll is up two point from last month May to June and the gap of Trump and Clinton as a whole, again nothing significant.

I disagree about the Miami voters too as I just listened to AJ Delgado from Miami. I think you really are overestimating your hand. 😉

Not to mention, he went after HRC and Warren’s rally but hasnt really spoken out against the SCOTUS abortion ruling of today.

I believe Trump’s explanation of why the judge needed to recuse himself was “He’s a Mexican”, not “He belongs to La Raza Lawyers Association.”

Second, that support that you mentioned was done by Fox News, they are very anti Hispanic, the only Hispanic that they like are those that support their agenda.

I think your arguments would be stronger if they didn’t rest on blanket generalizations about Fox’s staff.

Hmmm.

I know Trump has been divorced multiple times. I know of his statements about women. Trump was recently led to Jesus though. I believe he is a genuine Christian now.

I ask this respectfully, but when did Trump hear god’s calling?

You know how many times the man has changed positions on abortion?
Here’s an interview he had with Jake Tapper were he stated he was pro-choice then said, no pro-life. This is him running for the presidency, not 20-30 years ago.

yahoo.com/news/trump-silent-landmark-supreme-court-000000549.html

On there, you will also see, how he hasn’t said anything in regards to the SCOTUS ruling of abortion that we had today.

Don’t you think he would ease a lot of pro-life voters if he said something like, "what an embarrassment!! Our babies are getting killed. I will change that once I become President’!???

He did tweet today about HRC and Warren’s rally, which happened around the time the ruling came out. But no SCOTUS tweet. HMMMM

I get how you feel trust me, terribly divisive stuff all they way around the board. I feel like the same way its hurtful stuff when you know its not true. We all have to get past that though for the sake of the greater good. And thats really what bothers me about all of this. I’m not worried about you or I but all the fragile minded people everywhere who really are violently acting out and probably over much the same feelings. Throw some intrinsic evil in there and wow, just wow.

Trump became close to Jesus recently. They said something about it on CNN earlier today. Trump was formerly pro-choice, but he became pro-life. He only changed his view once. Trump probably would ease a lot of pro-life voters if he condemned the decision, but he focuses more on other issues so he won’t alienate social liberals.

Has Trump talked about how he became close to Jesus recently publicly? Because until he does, I think this might just be James Dobson trying to stay relevant.

His campaign manager was asked about it yesterday, but he wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.
