Reply to "Trump leads [crooked] Hillary - Latest national poll"

All the bad things thrown at Donald Trump are likely to be ignored by voters. You will find people whose instincts about what Trump says about women, Mexicans, Muslims, (un)free trade, Rosie O'Donnell, Megyn Kelly, McCain (loser war hero according to Trump), his dick, etc., are like "eeeoowww", will simply ignore all that. In spite of the truth that technology and globalization are contributing to income inequality and loss of jobs, Trump is articulating in a crude way what pleases Republicans, most Independents and right-leaning Democrats. Never mind that he cannot change that. 

If he gets a weak candidate - like Hillary - the demographics notwithstanding, and no matter how much you hate the guy, you have to consider the serious possibility of a President Trump. Trump is no Conservative as he likes to point out. He's a Republican and he's redefining that party. He's more to the left of Hillary on overseas intervention and left leaning on a lot of social issues AND religion. 

What you have to understand about the Donald is that he is not saying what he will do policy-wise.....and that interestingly and maddeningly enough is what voters like. He will tell you he will consider all sides and hire bright people and make decisions as par for the course. In other words he's being non-ideological. Hillary needs to pick up on this and distance herself from the "Establishment" - and that's not just a cliche. She's not presenting anything attractive now - only more of the same, including Bill. Trump will take advantage of that perceived weakness (her enabling Bill's cavorting, hence she's anti-woman and he, Donald, is pro women for pointing  that out). She needs to shake the Wall St thing and the Iraq invasion thing. Bengazi and the email stir will not be her downfall, if she is not the President. It's just that she's unable to be something, anything....that's not like what's been seen before....like Barak Obama in 2008....like the Donald in 2016. 

Will I vote Trump? No, but that doesn't mean I must lose my objectivity on the 2016 race.
