What I'm hearing from Independents re the Convention

[woolldog]

For those who watched, Bloomberg and Obama speeches were huge. Enough to sway them. Expect a large Clinton bounce following the convention.

1. David Brooks, conservative journalist, said this on PBS last night.....

"There are so many A+ speeches at this convention. The bounce will be way above the curve."

I expect we will be very pleased.

4. I hope Brook's got it right this week

Last week he was sure tRump would get minimal bounce after the RNC. I know one thing, Brooks may not admit it publically but I think he will vote for Hillary Clinton. He is so fussed about tRump.

8. Brooks was right

But Trump’s convention bounce is not all that large. You can find polls showing almost no bounce for Trump, and others showing gains in the mid-to-high single digits. Those disagreements are pretty normal and, overall, the polls suggest a net gain of 3 to 4 percentage points for Trump. That would be right in line with the average bounce in conventions since 2004, although it is toward the small side by historical standards.

On the small side of history, where he shall forever remain.

3. Normally don't care a lot about the post convention bounce....

but I sure hope it happens. Would love to see a double digit boost to compare to the dead cat bounce the Repubs got.

6. I have been a life long Democrat, but I can say if Donald Trump was the DNC nomineeIwould not be

able to vote for him. In listening to the DNC convention speakers I am sold on the idea Trump needs to be defeated

7. It's hard to see how anyone could have a problem choosing a candidate this election.
