Was this poll before or after he accused US soldiers of stealing millions in Iraqi?

Iāve always thought itās the built in resistance to a woman leading this country. There have been women elected as president, prime ministers, etc all over the world but still we canāt wrap our heads around out. Itās an anachronic, vague āI donāt know, sheās a woman and itās a manās jobā kind of unwillingness, but this woman will show 'em.

Yup. Heās the loudmouth in the bar whoās had a few too many. Self-censorship gone, so he spouts a lot of offensive garbage, and impaired enough that heās reduced to a fairly small collection of short stock phrases (āloser,ā āsad,ā āsomething going on there,ā and so on).

All he talks about is himself and how great he is. And how heās going to lord it over everyone else. His act is getting real old real fast.

Itās classic, textbook NPD, and people like that usually end up talking to an empty room.

Yesā¦but the coverage of her has already started to shiftā¦marked with her foreign policy knockdown speech against Trump.
And the really interesting fact in this pollā¦Hillary is at 55% unfavorableā¦which is LESS than Trumpās 56% HIGHLY unfavorable.
Her numbers will improve,particularly when she is compared to Trump for several monthsā¦while his are, in the short term at least, going to take another tumble once the Orlando speechā¦which is widely being pannedā¦and his attacks on the US military as a bunch of thievesā¦start to get baked in.
And right now, GOPers are only hoping that Trump stops hurting himself and them by proxyā¦there is no more talk about him turning things around.

Would Trump ever listen to people who tell hlm not to brag? Isnāt going to happen.
He knows he sounds robotic when he tries to sound presidential. He has to at least hang onto the 28% heās got now. Acting presidential doesnāt get him anything but scornā¦because everyone heās trying to impress know he is acting.
When was the last time Republicans had anything to be proud of? Trump is not a Republican in anything but name only anyway. Same as Sanders isnāt a Democrat. Out of all of them, barring his age, Sanders would have made the best President, but that was never gonna happen. My hope with Trump is that he finally shakes us out of this āHe said, She saidā syndrome this country is in. We are a huge mess of knee-jerkers who adopt opinions based on a party lineā¦in lock step, anyway. Abortions, gun control, gay this and that, religious litmus tests and on and on. We need to move away from cultural issues and wedge issue and operate under a pragmatic mind set. A solution based approach that deal with tangible problems like infra structure renewal. Heal the body and the mind might follow. The fabric that holds this country together is rotting away. We let it be compromised by selfish and powerful forces that function only from greed. There is no way Trump is ever going to be elected, but if he succeeds in helping to create a viable third party that will be something. Whether Clinton can be a successful President is dependent on how independent she can be and that my friends is a frightening prospect because she is owned by these same forces that are tearing us apart. She could possibly get Congress to work together, but thatās because they all work for the same masters and itās not the American people. The more the left and right become radicalized the easier it will be for stricter restrictions to be placed on us. Freedom and Privacy are already an illusion unless youāre affluent enough to simulate a bit more than others have. One of the first things I would do if President is work to re-institute the military draft so that everyone had some skin in the game. Iād divide the draft into military and non military domestic service and Iād start a massive infrastructure overhaul program while limiting how often we project force elsewhere. Letās just see where that would take us.
Yes, and think about it for a moment, what had Hillary done over the last week, or even month, to further drag down her favorables? What new revelation has come out? What nasty thing has she said? Absolutely nothing, but win the nomination. Iād be willing to bet sheād be in positive territory were it not for those in her own party.

This is just my opinion, but it seems like Donald Trump is focused almost entirely on the last person to who is critical of him (Donald Trump). If Sen. Warren blasts him, he focuses entirely on Sen. Warren. If Pres. Obama is critical, even without naming Donald, Donald goes almost entirely after Pres. Obama.
While all this is going on, Hillary is out making speeches outlining her goals, where she stands. NOT attacking Donald Trump, so people are able to listen to Hillary without the stupid spouting garbage from Donald.
Seems like the Democrats realize this and are deliberately attacking Donald, but using surrogates like the President, Vice President, Sen. Warren and others. Which means the Donald ignores Hillary, and she gains traction amongst the independents and moderates.

The forces tearing us apart are people like you who are willing tho sacrifice the safety and well being of minorities (racial, religious, gender, sexual orientation, etc) for āreal talkā, for promises of economic riches. You would sacrifice is to Trump in an effort to reach your Libertarian utopia. You are the problem!

Which, from a tactical campaign managerish POV, just shows how terrible the Trump campaign has been. Remember the IG report on her email server? Typically a campaign would run with that for weeks and months, ensuring it stays at the top of the news cycleā¦it plays to her trustworthy issue in the polls and forces her campaign on the defense.
But what does Trump do? Buries it by lashing out a Judge hearing his fraud caseā¦which WILL stay alive throughout the campaign because he requested it not go to trial until after the election.
So instead, she gets to make an incredibly effective case that she is the only one we can trust in the White House, and gets to go on a massive offenseā¦while Trump voluntarily goes into a defensive crouch.
Again, I am talking about this strictly from a tactical POV, regardless of who the players are. This is not even punting on 3rd downā¦its punting the other way on 3rd down.

And per the CBS survey, Trumpās response to Orlando is not received favorably either.
When asked to assess the responses of the presumptive nominees for
President, Americans are divided on Hillary Clintonās response to the
attack, while ratings of Trump are more negative. 51 percent of
Americans disapprove of the way Trump is responding to the Orlando
attack, while just 25 percent approve.Most Democrats (62 percent)
approve of Clintonās response, while just half of Republicans (50
percent) approve of Trumpās. More independents are critical of Trumpās
response than Clintonās.

āItās not too late to buy him out (maybe his strategy all alongā¦)ā¦,ā
A political campaign as green mail. I think you have figured it out. The answer has been hiding in plain sight all along!
Quite so. Donaldās pretty easy to manipulate, because heās nutsāRubio proved that much. I thought all along the Democrats could get him dancing like a marionette, and bless them, they have. The trouble is to get Hillaryās positives out to the public. Theyāll have money for advertising, so thereās that. Campaign appearances, interesting events and site visits, there are certainly ways. But Trump will be on ongoing fire in a fireworks plant, so thatās going to suck up a lot of oxygen. Iām sure she has the best media relations people available but theyāll be earning their money this summer and fall. Still, Obama cut through the noise. while Palin was doing her crazy-person sideshow, so it can be done.

One can argue it doesnāt matter what her unfavorable numbers are in isolationā¦it only matter in relation to her opponentās numbers, in which case sheās golden.
I read another poll stated 55% of people would never vote for Trump. If that holds true, itās game over for him.

Hillary has attacked ā she has laid out the case that he is temperamentally unfit to be President.
Even then Trump was unable to remain focused.
