Democrats must keep momentum pay little attention to improving political polls

This period of time in an election cycle is entirely too early from voting day to start putting credibility in political polls. 

Obviously, it's encouraging to read about how "stupid Donald Trump" is finally tanking in the popularity polls, due to his erratically dangerous behaviors. He has no positions on any issues of substance, but continues to spew rhetoric and then forgets what he means and seldom seems to mean what he says.  (Except, of course, for the ridiculous wall wall with Mexico. "It ain't going to happen, folks!")

Nevertheless, anything can turn the electorate into an angry mob. Just witness what happened with the regrettable "Brexit" vote in Great Britain. It wasn't even 24 hours after the referendum on the European Union question was called (surprisingly) in favor of the exit, when the voters began regretting their decision. Many have even, apparently, claimed that they voted to exit from the European Union (EU), just because they felt Brexit would never pass; so, they were just casting their vote based on emotion rather than on a consideration of the reality of their collective actions.  "Voters Regret Brexit" isn't going to fix the referendum question's consequences.

Nevertheless, emotions notwithstanding, American voters finally seem to be willing to, finally, say that "enough Trump is enough". Even the media is tired of his pompously erratic political behaviors. In fact, The Washington Post poll (obviously this newspaper has contributed to this political sea turn) says "Trump's Numbers Plummet". Indeed, Clinton has been propelled to the lead, 51 percent to 39 percent, in the new national survey released Sunday.

The poll found "sweeping unease" with Trump's policies. It singled out his "incendiary rhetoric and values to his handling of both foreign affairs and his own business — foreshadowing that the November election could be a referendum on Trump more than anything else."
Nearly 70 percent of Americans say they think Trump is unqualified to lead the nation. They are anxious about the idea of him as president and believe his comments about women, minorities and Muslims show an unfair bias. They also see his attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican American heritage as racist, the Post reported.

A slimmer majority also disapprove of the way Clinton has handled questions about her use of a personal email server while she was secretary of state. Roughly 50 percent of Americans are anxious about "the prospect of a Clinton presidency, underscoring the historic unpopularity of the two major-party candidates."

Obviously, Secretary Clinton must hold steady to her campaign strategy, to convince voters to go to the polls and vote for her to be the first woman president and leader of the free world.  This is no time to take any kind of victory laps or to enjoy the primordial scream, behind the bathroom door. 

Instead, this is the time to prove to voters why they are right to turn their backs on the dangerously incoherent Donald Trump, the "thin skinned bully", as identified by Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Scotland's Loch Ness Monster is a good way for Donald Trump to sell his Scottish Real Estate ventures. For marketing, this seems to makes more sense than his erratic campaign as the presumptive nominee for the Republican party in the general election.

To Donald Trump, maybe he'd be better off staying in Scotland trying to sell his golf course and luxury real estate suites.  

Eventually, when Trump finally gets back to the campaign for President, he may find himself to be the political equivalent of the long lost Loch Ness Monster of Scotland. In which case, Americans could even deport him as an illegal alien and send him back to his dearly departed mother's immigrant origins.
Meanwhile, Democrats must not put credibility in early political polls. Instead, we must keep our eyes on voter registration drives and remember to keep the momentum going against Donald Trump, who is a dangerously incoherent presidential candidate who cannot be elected.

Trump - Rubio - Cruz: immigration candidates

Republicans who support either Donald Trump, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) or Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz (R-TX), for the GOP presidential nomination are overlooking the immigration problems these three candidates present.  

In fact, the only two GOP candidates who can prove they are in complete compliance with the US Constitutional requirement for natural born citizenship are Dr. Ben Carson and Governor John Kasich.  Obviously, Carson and Kasich are not GOP front runners, at this time, but they're qualified by the Constitutional standards to run for president. On the other hand, the three who are front runners for the 2016 nomination have issues. In fact, the Trump-Rubio-Cruz standards for running seem to apply to everybody else, but not to each of them individually. Each one will tell the media how they're qualified because they are American citizens but, in fact, maybe they aren't.  What's more important than whether or not they reach the "natural born" standard, their citizenship ambiguities demonstrate hypocrisy about immigration.

Trump-Rubio-Cruz are three immigration-amigos, except they won't stand up for their heritages, to support immigration reforms.

Here's the truth: 

Donald Trump's mother was not a natural born citizen as described in the website https://www.scottishroots.com/people/donald.php

Donald Trump is the son of a Scotswoman. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod was from the hebridean Island of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland, from where she emigrated to America and met and married Frederick Trump, of German origin. Donald Trump was on June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York. In other words, Donald Trump is second generation born with immigrant parents.

Senator Marco Rubio - Marco was born in on May 28, 1971, in Miami to Cuban-born parents who came to America following Fidel Castro's takeover. When he was eight years old, Rubio and his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where his father worked as a bartender at the Sams Town Hotel and his mother as a housekeeper at the Imperial Palace Hotel. In 1985, the family returned to Miami where his father continued working as a bartender, until 1997, at the Mayfair House Hotel. Thereafter, his father worked as a school crossing guard, until his retirement in 2005. His mother worked as a Kmart stock clerk until 1995, when she retired.  In other words, Senator Rubio is an "anchor baby", born in the US to immigrant parents who secure their residency.  He's also born of immigrant parents.  Nevertheless, Senator Rubio's position on immigration reform makes no sense at all, he seems to slip slide along on this issue. In fact, given Rubio's family's history and their working class origins, he should be a star shining in favor of immigration reform, allowing a path to citizenship for people who qualify under the law. Unfortunately, Senator Rubio won't clearly state what his immigration positions are, but certainly his family's history should influence his opinion.

Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz was  born on December 22, 1970, at Foothills Hospital, in Calgary, Canada. His parents are Eleanor Elizabeth (Darragh), an American,Wilson and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, a Cuban. In fact, Cruz's father was born in Cuba, and his grandfather was from the Canary Islands in Spain. His mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and is three quarters of Irish descent and one quarter of Italian descent. Clearly, Senator Cruz is the son of an immigrant father and born when his mother was living in Canada.  Therefore, it makes no sense whatsoever for Senator Ted Cruz to oppose immigration reform and prevent a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrant people living in the US, obeying our laws, paying taxes and contributing to the growth of our nation's economy.

Nevertheless, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz speak about immigrants as though they were somehow born as descendants of the 1620, Pilgrims who arrived in Massachusetts, on the Mayflower.

Hypocrisy reigns in the Republican party.Yet, the issue shows up like a failed blot on a Rorschach Test, an image gone wrong, when the leading candidates are direct descendants of America's growing ethnic melting pot.
