Since our last polling update, the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) candidate, Donald Trump, has had to fire his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, after it was discovered he has been on the payroll of a Vladimir Putin lackey, not surprising when we consider how pro-Putin Trump has been. Just more evidence of the GOP candidate’s overt ties to a potential enemy. Earlier Trump openly committed an act of sedition, when he asked Russian hackers to attack Hillary Clinton’s servers and find her missing emails. Trump has called for a Special Prosecutor to investigate the Clinton Foundation; shouldn’t we be asking for a Special Prosecutor to be appointed to investigate Trump’s ties to foreign governments?
Nationally, the polling numbers show Trump in the decline.
