Trump's Poll Numbers Show His Ceiling Is Made Of Steel, Not Glass

... Romney. For Trump to have any chance of winning, he will need 65% or more of the white vote. Both Mc Cain and Romney won white women by approximately 15% over President Obama, most of whom were suburban voters. Drawing from extensive data from the Washington Post’s massive survey of over 79,000 voters coupled with Senate and U. S. House polls of suburbs in swing states, Hillary Clinton. Hillary Rodham Clinton Conway: ‘We would welcome a call’ from Lewis Laura Ingraham mulling Senate run: report 19 companies that Trump has tweeted about MORE is currently carrying white suburban women by 15 points over Trump.

Clinton, though, has lost support. Polls indicated that millions of voters would chosen Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Donald Trump Mc Cain leans ...

The Worst Political Predictions Of 2016

... won’t vote to leave the European Union. Matthew Shaddick to International Business Times, June 17, 2016: “‘Leave’ needs to be well ahead at this stage in order to have any chance of winning, unless they can convince voters that staying in the EU is riskier than leaving. That’s not going to be an easy sell when most of the nation’s political parties and representatives of big business are mostly saying the opposite.”. The United States wasn’t the only place to experience a political shock this year. When Britain woke up on June 23 to vote on whether to remain in the European Union, most everyone assumed that the country would vote to stay—this despite the fact that polls were showing the vote to be too-close-to-call. Why? Because the betting markets showed overwhelming confidence that the Brits would vote to remain in the European Union. And according to The Economist , “It is an article of faith among economists that betting markets on politics ...

Who Was The Absolute Worst Pundit Of The Election

... Donald Trump has boiled down to a few elements, perhaps the most prominent at the moment being the desire for an apology being expressed by a number of Trump loyalists.  But what about the pundits?  If they earn their living by providing expert analysis, haven’t they disgraced themselves. Now, I can understand a number of candidates having strong supporters.  George Will, who publicly wished for a 50-state Hillary Clinton victory, certainly deserves consideration.  But it is on the left that we find the most vitriol, or perhaps just the loudest vitriol, considering the depth of Will’s desire. One nominee worth considering is Bob Beckel.  The “Trump Fan Network” has compiled some of his most foolish statements. But nominations are open, particularly accompanied by a highlight reel.  There is a huge field out there. Hat tip: Clarice Feldman. Is it schadenfreude season yet?  Surely, the epic failure of the pundit class deserves some commemoration.  There just has to be a reckoning for people who sold opinions that were completely off-base, out of touch, and hilariously ...

Cnn Appearances Show Bob Beckel Ready To Work Again; Here’s His Best Option

... needs a foil, an adversary to play off of. Combative, befuddled , you’ve-got-to-be-effing-kidding-me-Bob always beats unchallenged, sleepy, affable Bob. And at CNN, it’s not clear who that person is or what program currently on the docket would be any kind of real fit for him. Would he be fine as a contributor? Sure. But if I’m signing him, I want something more than just fine…just another face with no definitive home. So how about MSNBC? Would 30 Rock be a better fit? Yes, but only if the network adds him to the Morning Joe table on a permanent basis. Know this: It’s the closest thing to The Five in terms of extemporaneous thought and free-form analysis. As far as a foil, Joe Scarborough would be the right (and only from a host perspective) dance partner. In case you’ve missed it, Morning Joe has been much more energetic and noticeably more impactful lately. And in terms of timing with 2016 coverage already at full throttle, adding Beckel now would be a fine stroke by Andy Lack, who’s mainly been doing subtraction at MSNBC since coming on as NBC News president earlier this year. But with nine hosts either gone or moved to different roles, it’s now ...
