Clinton Takes Commanding Double-Digit Lead Over Trump
The poll was taken in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s comments that his fame lets him grab women “by the p–y”, meaning it came at the worst possible time for Trump, and before his slightly more stable debate performance on Sunday night. It’s heralded as a political game changer.
However, a new poll from Rasmussen – whose results are generally more favourable to Mr Trump – showed Mrs Clinton up by seven percentage points even before the tapes were released.
This jump in Hillary Clinton’s lead is mainly attributable to Donald Trump’s lewd remarks about women. There were plenty of interruptions throughout the night as well, including from the moderators, who repeatedly pressed for more details with follow-up questions for Trump and Clinton.
The source described a tense scene playing out minutes before the debate began. Locker room talk, whatever you want to call it. He said of his impulse to kiss lovely women: “I don’t even wait”. I am a person who has great respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country, and certainly, I’m not proud of it. Arpaio said Monday he was not giving up on Trump, though he did not agree with the comments Trump was caught making on tape in 2005.
The real estate mogul’s campaign has been in turmoil since Friday, when video surfaced of him boasting in 2005 that he “can do anything” to women, including kissing or groping them without their consent, because “when you’re a star, they let you do it”. Yes, I’m very embarrassed by it. Trump can continue to talk about the bogus conspiracy theories that have been floating around since the 1990s.
“I believe we have to get ISIS. We’re going to defeat ISIS”. “But I never questioned their fitness to serve”. Twitter said this statement became the most tweeted moment in the debate. Voters have heard it all before, and they don’t care.
Overall, a majority of likely voters who watched or followed the debate have negative feelings about what Clinton (56 percent) or Trump (63 percent) would do in office if elected president.
The 11-point lead was polled over the weekend, but before the candidates went up against one another at a combative debate on Sunday evening. One thing with me, the media takes it.
By Monday, Pence was personally praising Trump during his event in Charlotte. Ivanka Trump, daughter of the Republican candidate, visited Middletown last week, and Trump himself will hold his first Cincinnati rally in U.S. Bank Arena Thursday.
