Something we may have noticed before?

Among many positive indicators in this poll, a familiar little tidbit.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-10/bloomberg-politics-national-poll

Clinton’s voters are more positive about her candidacy than those backing Trump are about his, with 56 percent saying their alignment with her is more an act of support than to stop Trump. His fans, meanwhile, are more motivated by their disdain for her, with 56 percent saying their backing of Trump is more a vote against her than support for him.

Most of her supporters *support* her and aren't just voting against Trump.

What a surprise, right? haha

Trump gets airplay saying outrageous things - the M$M shakes their collective heads - then it's back to bashing Hillary!

Whatever works.
