Thank God the Polls are Wrong

Trump may be getting a lot of support when the phone rings, but apparently that is not translating into votes that actually count.



With the high number of early voters casting ballots in Florida, and with a large number of those voters being Latino, the projections 538 is showing with Trump currently leading the polling in Florida may be wrong too.


We can hope.

Did they count the ballots already?

If not, all those are mere speculations. True, they may've seen a big turn out of Latinos - but don't assume all Latinos are all for Hillary.


Why some Latinos are backing Trump

Why some Latinos are backing Trump (Opinion) - CNN.com


There's also speculation that Trump may have hidden votes from Latinos, and other groups that are not registering in the polls.



My point: Don't pop the champagne yet. And leave that cigar alone. Wait for the ballot-counting tonight.

As a white man myself (well a white hispanic man, yes we do exist) I have to wonder why so many other white men seem to vote religiously for the GOP. What has the GOP done at all for working class white men? I mean in many ways the Democrats are no better, but the GOP and Donald Trump doesn't give a damn about working class white men, or working class people period. Why white men seem to determined to put GOP politicians in power is beyond me. It's bizarre.

Why do you think Trump won the primary?

Because......he's not your regular GOP guy.

Hillary has problems with millenials. She's not connecting with them. Younger generation Latinos are millenials, too.

Something to do with the GOP somehow being identified as masculine. Guns, big guts, bad teeth, funny ball cap hats..."Git er Done" types. It's all bull****, of course. But, they buy it.

The most baffling thing about working class redneck good ole boys supporting Trump is he has absolutely nothing in common with them. In fact, you would think he would be the type of guy they hate. Wealthy, out of touch, loves big government, history of supporting liberal positions, registered Democrat 3 times, from New York, etc. I guess lying to them by telling them he's going to build and wall and ban muslims is all they needed to support a guy they have zero in common with.

You're right. He's a big government liberal who lied through his teeth in an attempt to pander to rubes. And you know what? It worked.

The most baffling thing about the rednecks without investments, real estate or gold-plated faucets in their bathrooms supporting Trump is just that---he is not one of them.

But, he definitely talks like them.

If it was just white make voters, Trump would win in a landslide, which is unbelievably disgusting.

It if it was just white women, Hillary would win in a landslide.

I think this could be the election where latinos discover their political power. And that could have profound consequences.

All the left ever thinks about is race and gender, such ****ing hypocrites.

Trump exposed some ugly racism in America that everyone knew existed, but was sort of kept under the radar. I still maintain that the GOP created a monster they can no longer control, and it isn't Trump, it's the voters. Trump wouldn't be where he's at today if people didn't support him.

Maybe that's because the world is full of people who happen to not be white and male, or straight.

Exactly. Trump is just a con man who played them like a fiddle. He isn't the fiddle.

Yeah, so? What does that have to do worth the blatant bigotry of the left?

Cubans vote Republican, mainly. Don't forget that. And there are a lot of Cubans in Florida.

Bull--there is only one party pandering exclusively to the straight White males.

I doubt that it's Cubans for Trump who are driving up the record numbers of Hispanic voters going to the polls.

Which shows you just how bad the regular GOP guy is.

You're speculating. He could be centrist.

There's one way to find out if you're right. Give him a chance and see what he'll do.

No.

It just shows that there's the big move......away from the establishment! Even the Dems demonstrated that, that's why Sanders was popular.

One thing for sure is he's not a conservative.

Why is it fine for blacks or other groups to vote monolithically, but not whites?

Actually Trump is an unknown, Liberal and Conservative do not mean the same thing they did even 50 years ago.
I call myself conservative, but I am a fiscal conservative, Social issues really do not concern me,
unless they limit mine or others freedoms.
My concern is that the Government preform their basic requirements as inexpensively as possible.
As to this threads title, I agree, "Thank God to polls were wrong"
