Trump Goes Hard Right

Trump Goes Hard Right

https://politicalwire.com/2016/10/10/trump-goes-hard-right/

"SNIP..............



Politico: “Trump, who has effectively squandered his chance of becoming president due to a bumbling, gaffe-marred two-week interim between the first debate and Sunday’s showdown in St. Louis, was the aggressor for much of the debate. But his marginally successful attacks over Obamacare and Clinton’s email controversy were aimed mainly at his own base, as were his hot-tempered hyperbole and gruff stage presence—he actually seemed to stalk Clinton, standing behind her, scowling as she answered questions posed by undecided voters in a town hall-style setting.”

“That Trump is still appealing to an angry conservative base at this late stage of the election may be the most glaring indication of the hard ceiling on his overall support and, as a result, where this race stands.”

I thought he did better than in the first debate, but what everyone is going to remember is the stalking, and not that he did better.

26% is usually the R hard ceiling. I'll believe he's there when that number comes up. There's more Donald telling it like it is coming down the pipe, from what all the rumors are hinting at.

I think he has room to from still.
