I am stunned that Trump has made it this far and that he is doing so well.
However, this is far from over. Right now Trump has been dominating the news for the past few days because of the Republican Convention but he is still trailing in the polls. Clinton will see a little bump in the polls. At the same time, Clinton hasn't really start to attack Trump. I believe once she does start to attack she will do even better in the polls.
I cannot explain what is happening here. Trump seems to be cashing in on pure hate and outright lies. Tonight in his speech he said crime is going up in our cities, yet the reality is crime has been dropping at a steady pace. He also said our economy is bad but all indications seem to be it's good and getting better. The Republican party is saying "We can't do four more years" and I'm asking why not - The economy is getting better, unemployment is going down... We are also out of two wars we needed to get out of and more people are on healthcare than ever before. Frankly, it doesn't get much better than this.
Trump tonight said he was going to make our military larger. He doesn't seem to understand our military grows and shrinks depending on our needs. Our military grew when we were fighting two different wars in two different countries. Now this growth is not needed. I obviously love our military and I love it when we flex our muscle, but I understand how our military staff has changed in numbers in the past seventy years.
I also do not understand this talk about a wall. It's not like people are sneaking across our border; They drive across at the border checkpoint. And it seems more illegal aliens are leaving then coming across. Why would we spend billions of dollars on a wall that will do nothing? You can't even argue security from terrorists because our northern border is wide open as well.
Then there is the deficit. Trump is making it sound like the deficit will go through the roof under Clinton. However, under her husband, didn't the deficit shrink? Wouldn't Clinton be the better choice here?
