Trump has removed the thin veil that was covering the bigotry permeating much of the right and exposed it's shallow, selfish, stupid nature. Not only has this driven many moderates away, but it also exposes those remaining for what they truly are.

F*#king lowlife bigoted garbage:
"The Muslims have to work with us,” Trump said. “They know what’s going on.” They knew, he claimed, that the Orlando shooter “was bad.” “They knew the people in San Bernadino were bad. But you know what? They didn’t turn them in. And you know what? We had death and destruction.”

Clinton Leads Trump 49-37 In Dramatic New Poll
A new Bloomberg poll published Tuesday shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 49 percent to 37 percent among likely voters nationwide. It also showed that 55 percent of those polled said that they would never vote for Trump.
“Clinton has a number of advantages in this poll, in addition to her lead,” J. Ann Selzer, the pollster who oversaw the survey, told Bloomberg. “Her supporters are more enthusiastic than Trump’s and more voters overall see her becoming a more appealing candidate than say that for Trump.”
Bloomberg notes that Trump's "negatives remain unusually high for a presidential candidate" and that "Clinton's polling advantage over Trump followed a strong week for her that has included primary wins and multiple endorsements."
It also said that it was "troubling" for Trump that 63 percent of women polled said they could never vote for him. For decades, female voters have made up a majority of the electorate.

drumpf will just keep sticking his yuuge foot in his mouth, over and over, until the GOP is forced to turn their backs on him. The guy has nothing, no substance, no answers, just buzz words he keeps barfing out that will lose their effect by the end of summer. The GOP should hang its collective head in shame that such a shyster represents their party. I see a third party emerging after this election...

Chump is a complete sideshow clown. It is sad that some people legitimize him.
It is almost enough to subscribe to the conspiracy theories that he is a DNC implant....almost.

Norton, a 12-point lead isn't nearly enough. This buffoon has to go down by at least 20.
But, I'll take it.
After his epic loss in November he should give the GOP their party back and start his own. The White Nationalist Party.

Trump is sinking like a dead weight, good riddance.
Listening to the dope now, can't believe he has come this far.

Hopefully that trend continues all the way to the election.
It would be sweet justice to see him lose stupendously to Hillary, on a scale never before seen in Presidential politics.
There's a few heads I'd like to see explode around here and the outside world. Maybe it would be enough to bring them back to some semblance of reality.

On 12 December 1941, five days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, Adolf Hitler made a revealing speech in Berlin to Nazi leaders, both Gauleiter and Reichleiter; and Josef Goebbels recorded in his diary what had been said: ‘With regard to the Jewish Question the Fuehrer is determined to make a clean sweep. He prophesized that if they brought about another world war, they would experience their annihilation. This was no empty talk. The world war is here. The annihilation of the Jews must be the necessary consequence. This question is to be viewed without sentimentality. We’re not to have sympathy with the Jews, but only sympathy with our German people. If the German people has again now sacrificed around 160,000 dead in the eastern campaign, the instigators of this bloody conflict will have to pay for it with their own lives."
It’s hard to imagine a clearer statement of principle.
The day before he uttered these words, 11 December, Adolf Hitler had declared war on America in the wake of the Japanese attack on Hawaii. A ‘world war’ had indeed just begun. And, as a consequence, the flames of Hitler’s own intense prejudice and hatred of the Jews were fanned into a firestorm.
Hitler had always blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat in the last ‘world war’ in 1918. He maintained that German Jews had profited from the sacrifice of German soldiers on the front line, and that it had been Jewish influence that had led to the decision to make peace with the Allies in the autumn of 1918, when the German army was still fighting outside German borders.
It was a fantasy, of course. Jews were dying in the German army in proportionately as large numbers as non-Jews, and the reason for the armistice was that Germany was exhausted, with millions on the brink of starvation as the result of the Allied sea blockade. But the Jews were a convenient scapegoat for Germany’s humiliation in the First World War, and it became an absolute act of faith for both Hitler and the rest of the Nazi movement that the Jews had sabotaged Germany’s chances of winning the conflict.
Indeed, in Mein Kampf, written in the early 1920s, Hitler explicitly linked the imagined deceit of the Jews in the First World War with the need for their destruction, saying that the ‘sacrifice of millions at the front’ would have been prevented if ‘twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas."

Crankster, bear in mind this is a national poll and not state by state specific as we determine the Presidency - Electoral College
also, we do not know how this poll is weighted and filtered
for example the poll could be way, way off in terms of turnout, underestimating the rapidly growing hatred and disgust towards Trump
in addition, I believe pollsters do not call cell phones but just use a filter number
