I actually think Trump is better than Clinton because Clinton is always trying to pretend to be something that she is not. At least Trump isn't afraid to voice his real views. Clinton served on the board of Walmat and fought for NAFTA, for example, and now she pretends to care about poor people and women.
And just to add, it wasn't just Rasmussen that had Trump up (though admittedly the other polls weren't as recent). A PPP (D) had them tied, USAToday/Suffolk also had Trump up +2, a SurveyUSA had Trump at +5, a FOX New Poll had Trump at +3 and other Fox New Polls had Trump at +5. Clinton should not be losing to Trump! That's how bad Clinton is and how much many people hate her.
Don't fool yourself. Trump flip flops just like Clinton. Yeah, she says whatever is politically expedient. And although it may have been true at the beginning that Trump just spoke his own mind, you can actually watch him start to say what he knows people want to hear. Now he hasn't got a voting record and stuff like Clinton does, but I have NO DOUBT that given a few years in politics, he will come out just as wishy washy and fake (Jesus, he is sooo fake) as other politicians.
Examples: He used to be pro-choice; now that he’s running in a Republican primary, he’s pro-life. He used to support assault weapons bans; now he’s against them. He told Howard Stern in 2002 that he supported the invasion of Iraq; now he calls it a mistake.
PEople are, of course, allowed to change their minds as time goes by. But ther is a difference between changing your mind, and just changing your stance. His pro-life stance, for instance, is PURELY to appeal to the republican voting base on a key issue. IT hasnothing to do with his actual thought on the matter.
