Polling is being used and manipulated to aid the professional political apparatus in their efforts to eliminate the threat that is Donald Trump.  The sheer scope of the antagonistic efforts toward that end is remarkable.  However, Donald Trump has a strategy to cut through the smokescreen – more on that after the PPP Poll.
Public Policy Polling has released a poll of Virginia voters (full pdf below).  Everyone knows PPP leans left and they don’t try to hide their bias – that’s ok, we don’t have any issue with ideological polling so long as there is accompanying honesty.
As long as the bias is open and admitted, and as long as the methodology and cross tabs are fully disclosed, the reader can adjust their perspective accordingly – and that’s why we find PPP polls useful.
The sample within the poll is gender skewed toward polled female voters by 8%. 54/46
A traditional poll model would be 51(fem)/49(male).  Against that methodology skew the resulting poll outcome is:

Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,032 registered voters from June 13th to 15th.  The race is close and within the polls margin of error – and if you consider the gender skew, the race is essentially tied.
However, on a profoundly optimistic note – despite a constant media drum beat of negativism toward Trump – with independent Virginia voters Donald Trump does remarkably better than Hillary Clinton.

You tell em’ Sam:

(Statement Via Donald Trump) Sadly with this endorsement of Hillary Clinton – who is totally owned by Wall Street – the leadership of the AFL-CIO has made clear that it no longer represents American workers. Instead they have become part of the rigged system in Washington, D.C. that benefits only the insiders.
I believe their members will be voting for me in much larger numbers than for her.
Hillary Clinton and her husband have made hundreds of millions of dollars doing favors and selling access to Wall Street, special interests and oppressive foreign regimes.
As Bernie Sanders said, “Why, over her political career, has Wall Street been the major campaign contributor to Hillary Clinton?” They own Hillary Clinton and she will do whatever they tell her to.
Bernie Sanders is also 100% correct when he says that Hillary Clinton “vote[d] for virtually every trade agreement that has cost the workers of this country millions of jobs.” Hillary supported NAFTA and she supported the trade deal with China, Vietnam, South Korea – and if elected will implement the TPP she loves so much – guaranteed.

Writing on Facebook, Donald Trump takes his message directly to the most important special interest group – YOU.  Americans.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA! Wow!
A year ago, today, many of you joined me at Trump Tower in calling for real change in Washington, D.C. I am proud to say that with your support we are well on our way to Making America Great Again! Since the moment I rode down the escalator on June 16th, 2015, and decided to run for President, my campaign has been filled with nothing but excitement, dedication, and passion to change our country for the better – this is only the beginning of our movement.
I am honored and proud to lead our fight to put America first. This past year, I have travelled this great country and met many incredible Americans at our rallies. Yesterday in Atlanta, Georgia- we had a packed house of loving supporters. Even early on in our campaign, we had a record-setting rally in Mobile, Alabama, with over 30,000 attendees that joined our movement to Make America Great Again. (more…)

Donald Trump represents an existential threat to every political and social apparatus that has been built over the past several decades.  However, despite the media’s best efforts to diminish his supporters, the supporters for Trump remain the majority.

That said, yesterday we warned:

In essence the united efforts of generational leftist Marxism will be to create self-fulfilling prophecies.  Those in control of common constructs need to convince the U.S. electorate to vote against their own best interests.   We will see and hear of various filters being applied to social media platforms – there will be one singular common benefactor; just look for it, and it will show itself.
Communication is a critical element of control.  The historic battle space remains the same, the battle for the mind.  Modern media and technology will be utilized to it’s maximum benefit to convince and persuade.

This video has been getting a lot of attention.  A group of young Trump supporters are confronted by older moonbats – the resulting debate is quite humorous:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Tonight candidate Donald Trump appeared with Greta Van Susteren for an interview on current events:

According to information from the office of Senator Ron Johnson (Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) terrorist Omar Mateen was posting messages to social media in the time between the initial attack and the time SWAT teams rushed the Pulse nightclub:

“I pledge my alliance to (ISIS leader) abu bakr al Baghdadi … may Allah accept me”.

“The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” …“You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes … now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”
