Trump campaign says will win by "undercover supporters"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/23/donald-trump-campaign-news-polls-kellyanne-conway

“People who are supporting Donald Trump, who have not voted Republican in the past, who have not voted in quite a while, are so tired of arguing with family and friends and colleagues about their support of Donald Trump that they just decided not to discuss it.”

So all these undercover Trump supporters are so vastly outnumbered by opposing friends and family that they've been traumatized too much to admit to a pollster that they want to vote for Trump.

Sounds good to me.

... "We're fucked!"

Credit where it's due: Some of the responses from GOPers re Trump have been incredibly imaginative, and I appreciate their creativity.

It's kind of like watching someone craft food, potable water, and comfortable shelter out of Play-Doh.

Same idea different name.
I believe it is the other way around.
Hillary supporters, especially GOP women and younger voters are afraid to come out because their husband or father is a die hard Trump supporter. To keep the peace in the household, they just agree with him but come the polling they will vote for Hillary and claim they voted for Trump.
