If this guy is right, then online polls show Trump leading by more than with conventional poll because there are those who are unwilling to let their support of Trump be known but an online poll provides greater anonymity.
Anecdotally, this is what I have found with some Democrats and left leaning Independents who I know personally. They will not always come out and state directly that they support Trump but suggest that they like Trump for reasons varying from his business acumen to his positions on amnesty and being generally dismissive of political correctness. IMO, there really are those who support Trump but will not come out and say it in the open. The ones that I know are generally well educated people. http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/heres-why-trump-does-better-in-online-polls-589315139740 |
And again, people wonder how Hitler came to power? "First they came for the Mexicans but I did not speak out because I'm not Mexican. Then they came for the Muslims but I did not speak out because I'm not Muslim. Then they came for the LGBT but I did not speak out because I'm not LGBT." Sound familiar? And it's EXACTLY the tone we are hearing right now from the Trump supporters. |
Trump is leading in the polls because of the media circus that he's been generating. Controversy sells, so the media covers it, which gives Trump tons and tons of free publicity. |
Trump's success is attributable to several factors including what you stated. But the point this guy was making on Morning Joe is that his support may be understated because there are those who will not publicly acknowledge their support for Trump because it may present them in a poor light with their peers and friends. |

"First they didn't come for the illegal aliens, but I did not speak out because my cleaning girl is from Guatemala, so I decided to call her undocumented to ease my conscience." Sound familiar? And it's EXACTLY the tone we are hearing right now from progressives. |
Right, it's the progressives who have maids from Guatemala. |

Except....it's Christians that are getting the beat-down. Again, can you point to me the fines and legislative process against the Muslim bakers that refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding? I can easily point you to incidences of backlash against Christians. In addition, I see you did not mention Jews. Given there are more hate crimes perpetuated against Jews in the US than Muslims or gay individuals, I wonder why you left them out, especially while invoking the name of a man who committed genocide against the Jews. |
I don't think it's your typical middle class conservative family. |

I for one welcome our new Trump overlord. |
Donja just hate when the Christian majority is being held down by THE MAN! Do you people ever listen to the crap you spew? |
Who is the "you" here? Are you against the Christian majority? I'm not sure who you are ranting against here. |
