I've seen crazier things happen.

That is AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, TREMENDOUS, and THE BEST and should be enough to sway the election. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

Even though they serve as great whipping boys, union membership in this country is only around 11%, down 50% from the 1980's, so I always fail to understand how such a small number can be to blame for the failures of the economy Back to Top Campus Flow General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 4,952 Status: Offline     RE: Trump.    Posted: 6/8/2016 11:08:55 PM  Robert Fox wrote: Alan Swank wrote: Uncle Wes wrote: Monroe Slavin wrote: It's still to early ...election's months away....But the point about who will vote (voter apathy) is a good one.

Trump triumphed over the republican field because he offered an economic message that working American's relate to. He doesn't have that edge in a general election to the same extent. I'm a working American and so is my wife and we can't relate to his message. I guess I don't understand your definition of "working American." I think "working American" is code for "Union." I'm thinking more people that are middle income Americans making 35k-65k and raising families on it who like his economic message. That could be factory types but could also be service industry. These are also people who normally vote Republican or don't vote at all. His support is much broader than that but I am referring to the portion that likes that economic message.

I've advised them that Justin Trudeau has looked into building a wall along the US-Canadien border and make the US pay for it in just such a case.

But funny, these people like his economic message, but what message? Once you get past the rhetoric it's all hot air with a couple of bad concepts such as protective tariffs, and tax policies that will make Kansas look like a state flourishing in revenue growth.

Correct about not much except that Trumpage has done a nice job of mildewing his image. Was at a Drum and Bugle Corps competition this weekend in Allentown Pa. One of the corps did a show called "Propaganda".It includes references to the 2016 election, including Trump and Hillary signs. Our seats were with a group of senior women from Bethlehem Pa. and another group from Vermont. After the corps finished, the ladies from Pa. and the group from Vermont were talking about how they keep getting poll calls. They women said they hate (their words) Mrs. Clinton, but tell the pollster they're voting for her, just to skew the poll results.They said their friends do the same thing. Then the people from Vermont said they do it too. Its hardly a scientific sample, but it seemed unusual that two groups of people, from different states who never met before, would take that approach.

Why add to the sense of Hillary having it sealed? Then again, how many people do you know who've been called/contacted by pollsters? The women you refer to could have been blowing smoke. Wouldn't pollsters more be calling independents...since pollsters can pretty much tell which way a household is leaning these days and Dems will vote Dem, Repubs will vote Repub so the election is really re independents (or at least swing voters)??

Actually,that was one of the questions that came up during the discussion.The people said they were registered as "unaffiliated" or "independent". Sitting in the stands at a Drum Corps competition,what possible reason would a person have for "blowing smoke ?" I know during primary season my and I,who are both independents,got at calls from pollsters at least 10 times. We also got calls almost everyday from the candidates.(We felt soooo special :-) ) Back to Top Showing Replies:   26 - 43  of 43 Posts Jump to Page:   < Previous    1 | 2 View Other 'General Ohio University Discussion/Alumni Events' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 299 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 297 Guests 2 Registered Users:   Terry Lee, shabamon There are no other users looking at this page.
