Goodness Bill. Drumpf DOMINATES Clinton (and every other politician alive today) when it comes to lying. Example: What did you think of Drumpf fabricating that letter from the NFL complaining about the debate schedule? There was no such letter, so Drumpf created it during an interview.
Let's hear it: What about that?
Drumpf: Inveterate liar. MUCH worse than Hillary.
" I never heard of David Duke
"Hundreds of thousands of illegal Mexicans swarm across our borders every day"
"This is John Miller and I'm going to tell you the real story about Marla Maples"
"Tht isn't me on those tapes"
"Crime rates in America are soaring every year"
"*I am the author of "The Art of the Deal ""
"The Federal Government won't let me release my tax returns because I'm being audited"
"I saw hundreds and thousands of Muslims partying and cheering from the rooftops on 9/11"
That's a sherriff's star"
"The Koch Brothers called and begged for a meeting but I turned them down"
"Putin will never set foot in Ukraine"
"The NFL is complaining to me about the debate schedule"
You peole are fools if you think he will bring back industries who hgave moved overseas, and the COAL JOBS are NOT coming back, not ever. They've been declining since the 1950s-60s.
Gallup: Trump support tumbles after conventions
In the wake of the Republican and Democratic national conventions, voters are more likely to support Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.
While 36 percent of adults are more likely to support Trump coming out of the GOP’s four-day event, 51 percent are less likely to vote for the real estate mogul afterit. The minus-15 net rating is the worst mark for the Republican nominee coming out of the party’s convention since Gallup began asking the question in 1984, though the 1984 and 1992 GOP conventions were excluded.

Last month’s Republican convention, however, is the only time respondents were overall less likely to vote for the candidate who was nominated. Previous lows for the Republican nominee were plus-2 with Mitt Romney in 2012 and plus-3 with President George W. Bush in 2004.
The convention has also shaped the views of the Republican Party. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they have a less favorable view of the GOP now, while 35 percent see the party more favorably.
After the Democratic convention, 45 percent of adults said they were more likely to back Clinton, though 41 percent said they’re now less likely to do so. While the percentage of respondents more inclined to vote for Clinton coming out of the convention is on par for Democratic nominees over the past two decades, the 41 percent who are less likely to vote for Clinton represents the highest mark since 1984.
Respondents were split on how the convention affected their overall view of the Democratic Party: Forty-four percent have a more favorable opinion of the party, while 42 percent see it less favorably.
Along party lines, 81 percent of Democrats and those who lean Democratic — and 8 percent of Republicans and GOP leaners — said they were more likely to back Clinton after the Democratic convention. But only 73 percent of Republicans and leaners — and just 2 percent of Democrats — are more likely to vote for Trump coming out of the Republican convention.
Trump thanked “everyone for the wonderful reviews” of his speech and slammed Clinton’s “very long and very boring speech.” But Gallup’s results suggest the billionaire’s remarks were the worst-received in the past 20 years.
The response to Trump’s acceptance speech yielded similar results on opposite ends of the spectrum. While 18 percent said his speech was just OK, 35 percent thought it was excellent or good — the lowest percentage since ’96 — and 36 percent thought it was poor or terrible — the highest percentage since '96.
Forty-four percent of respondents said Clinton’s speech accepting her historic nomination was excellent or good. Two-in-10 said it was poor or terrible, and 17 percent thought it was just OK.
The Gallup poll of 1,000 adults was conducted July 23-24 and July 29-30, immediately after each convention, via landlines and cellphones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
