It took this writer a dose of reality he never expected. Especially so soon. Fox News and CBS news reporting results from a Quinnipiac U. poll just out of registered voters taken April 27th to May 8th. It includes the all important three States that may decide the next President.
Traditional Democrat State of Pennsylvania: Hillary 43% Trump 42%. A tie. Florida, with all it’s Hispanic voters: Hillary 43% Trump 42%. A tie. And all important for a Republican win in Ohio: Trump 43% Hillary 39%. Ironic, Bernie Sanders, who is hanging around waiting for Hillary Clinton’s FBI report, beats both of them in those States. But, Sanders is never going to happen.
So what does the new poll tell us? He can win. Overwhelmingly, with all his mistakes feuds and faults, people want an outsider. Someone different. Most feeling both Parties have betrayed them. Or just plain failed them. So what are some money men saying? Billionaire Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone….”Kasich was my guy. However, I am all in for Donald Trump. And, you want to know something? I think he’ll do a helava good job.” Former top Republican National Committee official, David Norcross…”Hillary Clinton is the great unifier.” “I was not a Trump guy. But, I’d rather have a fender bender than an absolute train wreck.”
Currently Donald Trump is doing better than Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in 2008 and Gov. Mitt Romney in 2012. Another mention in the poll was Trump is widely regarded as the “best guy for the economy and terrorism.”
All of this is huge news for Trump. But, there is much more coming out if you have been keeping tabs on my Facebook page. Bill Clinton’s abused women in the past are beginning to come forward. In particular Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick. Willey was sexually abused in the oval office as she was a volunteer asking for help. Later, after her speaking out, she received threats. Broaddrick stands by her story of being raped by Bill Clinton. Who can forget his line to her as he was leaving….”Better get some ice on that lip.” What makes it so damaging to Hillary is there is no question she was aware of Bill’s philandering (for years) and was in charge of arrangements to hush all these women. Still to come could be Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky and heaven only knows who else. If it was just one it’s meaningless. But, keeping a lid on all of them is impossible. They corroborate the stories. Trump, being the ultimate gut street fighter, surely will use one or more of the abused women of the past to combat Hillary’s basic calling card…”I’m a woman.” “I’ll fight for you” nonsense. And there is more to come out.
Meanwhile Trump is putting together a transition team head by Gov. Chris Christie. This is smart because it is being done well in advance of the norm and shows crucial leadership and organizing skills. Plus, Trump has his campaign manager and Dr. Ben Carson working on the selecting of Trump’s Vice President nominee. This is critical to his being elected and the help he is going to need dealing with what could likely be a hostile Congress. He wants someone already in politics for a lengthy period so vetting has already been done. Rubio has said no as did Gov. Susana Martinez. Cruz? No way. Trump has said he always liked Ohio Gov. John Kasich. And Kasich’s sudden dropping out of the race after saying on to California….sending that morning a staffer to a campaign event at 10 AM….Kasich was headed for a scheduled news conference/townhall in Virginia saying he was not quitting until somebody got the 1,237 delegates. Then suddenly at midday…poof. He announces he is dropping out. Coincidence? Maybe. But Kasich has said “There is zero chance of me being vice president.” No out right denial and he is exactly what Trump in looking for. Plus Kasich would almost clinch all Important Ohio.
On the Hillary Clinton email scandal, things are getting worse for her. A Romanian hacker named Marcell Lazar says it was easy to hack into her server. He did it twice and has been arrested. Also, news this day, the State Department has announced that all emails from Bryan Pagliano, the man who set up the email server in Hillary’s house, cannot be found. Later this day they did find a few. And the Clinton Foundation is suspect. The plot thickens and no telling when the report will be done. Word is Bryan Pagiano, granted immunity from prosecution, is singing like a canary. More on this story later. And, Hillary refuses to respond to any of Trumps attacks. Sooner or later she will have to.
The bottom line to this post is things are looking up for Trump and down for Hillary Clinton. I do think it would be very wise for “The Donald” to be cooperative with House Speaker Paul Ryan this coming Thursday. Like it or not he needs GOP support. He needs the Party behind him. And most of all the money from big donors. Clinton has plenty of cash and the anti Trumps adds have begun. Look for Hillary to get clobbered in the Tuesday primary in W. Virginia. “Oh my, I just misspoke on abandoning the coal industry. It was taken out of context” Ever the chameleon. Horrible candidate is she.
