I'll say it again. The state polls mean more for November than the national polls. These are must win states for Trump.

I will be interested in the national polls that come out this weekend. It's more than 2 weeks after the DNC, if she is up 7+ in polls this weekend it is very meaningful.

Be complacent. We have a solid ground game. When you have a sizable lead in football you pound out the ground game. We have that in place, they don't. They have a 3rd string QB lobbing Hail Marys. The incredible organization that was started by Obama will help solidify these good numbers.
