Rigging polls is a very bad thing. I hope they don't conveniently stop reporting on a bigger nugget Crutchez_CuiBono Jan 2019 #2

LYING TO CONGRESS AND TRUM TELLING HIM TOO, however. That amongst bigger things. Polling shapes peoples ideas and is really important. So far there's only one pres candidate w a govt clean-up plan. (no need to name drop and cause consternation and bickering)
Pres HRC would also get started right away on this too wouldn't she?

Certain polls always make him look good, and of course those are the only ones he ever references.
It's just another form of "fake news" but he only calls it fake when it's bad for him.

His behavior and penchant for projectionism makes that crystal clear in retrospect.

"It's a rigged game folks...rigged system."
How many fucking times did he say THAT in late-October and early-November 2016?

"My polls are great. We're winning in the polls..."
Again, I can't be the only one who was sick and tired of THAT canard, can I?

Trump is nothing more than a charlatan and grifter. He has been a con man his entire worthless life. He is a cautionary tale to humanity about the wretches of excess and the importance of love - because absent love in our lives, we become what Trump is - a vicious, worthless, lying pile of shit.

accurate as the base line. What data are they using as to the contact means. What is their methodology,who what where and when. Understand there is usage of voter rolls that tweaks these polls to the Conservative upside.

Again,you will get what you are paying for.
