The polls just reflect the GOP who are embarrassed to say they will

[CK_John]

vote for Trump, but.....

on Nov 8 they will be looking over their shoulder and voting for Trump.

[MohRokTah]

1. BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[madaboutharry]

2. I think Trump supporters are proud of it.

[etherealtruth]

3. That's what I have believed of the republicans I know

.... they simply won't talk about it, won't defend tRump .... but really don't want a democrat in the white house

[Kathy M]

11. Agree ^^^

[a kennedy]

13. I wonder if Joe Biden would get their vote if he was the nominee...... eom

[democrattotheend]

4. That is my concern as well

That is what I understand happened in 1980 - Reagan outperformed the polls because some people were embarrassed to say they were voting for him.

If Hillary is leading going into election day but most of the undecideds are Republicans, I expect she will not do as well as polls suggest.

[GulfCoast66]

22. Well I was there on the other side

At the time. Folks here love to compare Trump to Reagan but that is as crazy as what Trump is saying.

Reagan was a very popular ex-governor of the largest state in America, which could be counted on to vote republican at the time. And did. He had almost stripped the nomination from a sitting president in 1976.

Do not go by what you 'hear' or 'understand' about history anywhere, especially on a partisan site. Do your own research. It was no surprise when Reagan won. Crushing to democrats as it was a landslide. He won over 45 states if I remember correctly.

This is just another 'concern' thread. As Hillary gets further ahead I look forward to reading the reasons she is really going to lose.

5. You have so many concerning concerns. Weren't you the one who said NY would go for Trump?

[CK_John]

12. I asked a question if NY was in play, but that was last week.

[renate]

6. I worry about that too

Who's going to own up to supporting such a nasty, narcissistic, dishonest self-promoter? He is vile. It's what his more visible supporters like about him, but there are some people who still have enough shame to recognize that supporting him is unacceptable in polite society. Yet they can't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat.

So I do agree that, even though a lot of his supporters are loud and proud about it, there are some people who are too embarrassed to admit that they'll vote for him. If Gary Johnson weren't in the race, I'd worry about it a lot more. I think it'll be okay.

[Grassy Knoll]

7. WOW!

[ecstatic]

8. There will be many secret Hillary voters as well

Possibly completely outnumbering the secret Trump voters. Anyone with common sense can tell that Trump is mentally unstable and would put all of our safety in jeopardy with his ignorance, impulsive behavior and reckless comments.

9. Nobody knows what you tell polls.

You can't feel bad about what you said

[CK_John]

14. I've never been polled and would not answer if polled, because polling is

means nothing.

[stevenleser]

10. At the rate you have gone you should consider a rewiring of your crystal ball.

Some of your predictions have been, well, out there.

[CK_John]

15. It's never a prediction. It's a possible outcome that I believe may occur.

[Bongo Prophet]

24. LOL, CK_John, you are a DU treasure!

I could calibrate my prophet compass to yours, our very own Kristol Ball.

"It's never a prediction. It's a possible outcome that I believe may occur."

[pnwmom]

16. I think those few embarrassed Trump supporters will be vastly outnumbered

by the Republican wives who secretly cast a vote for Hillary, no matter what their husbands think.

PS your theory was disproven in the primary, where the polls were accurate in predicting Trump's win. It's just that the prognosticators didn't want to believe the polls.

[CK_John]

17. The party primaries are for the political geeks, usually a very low %. .

[pnwmom]

18. So? The polls included people likely to vote in the primaries and correctly predicted

that Trump would win. Those voters weren't too embarrassed to say who they supported.

Trump supporters are too dumb to realize they should be embarrassed.

[CK_John]

19. They are the base, true believers, not the avg general election voter.

[pnwmom]

20. So what. There is no actual EVIDENCE showing that Trump supporters are too embarrassed

to admit they'll be voting for him.

It is just as likely that some Rethugs would be too embarrassed to admit they're voting for the girl.

[CK_John]

21. So what are you going to do? Waterboard them or something.

You have to take life as it is, why people do things doesn't matter that much as long as you are aware of the possibilities.
