I remember when your vote was a private matter. Others did not ask, you did not tell. Sure, there was campaigning, but your vote was no one else’s business. It should be that way again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect aka “social desireability bias” aka “acting like the cool kids.”
This might be true, but I remember people saying the same thing - granted, to a lesser extent - about Romney in 2012.
I take solace in the fact, however, that a few days ago while I was helping load a grill into the stranger’s truck, he complained about the country’s political situation and said, “Trump will fix it” with absolute conviction. I hope he’s right.
The reverse Bradley/Wilder effect.
People are ashamed to admit that they are going to vote for Trump, so they say they are going to vote for Cankles or Karl, but they aren’t.
Well, who would put a pro-Trump car sticker or yard sign and have the car keyed or yard vandalized by the vicious lefties. The best strategy is to keep your powder dry and deliver the shot when it really counts, in the voting booth.
I have been a registered voter for 46 years and had never been contacted by a pollster until about ten weeks ago. I lied and told the pollster I planned to vote for Hillary in the general election. Surprise! Surprise! I have been polled every week since. I keep telling them I plan to vote for Hillary in the general election. The truth is I would never vote for Hillary even if she was holding a gun against my temple.
I expect to be called this Thursday or Friday too.
I like your style!
Watching the Meeeeginnn special on terrorism on Fox. Commercial break. NRA Trump ad. Benghazi survivor. Powerful.
Just don’t tell anybody. It’s really easy.
Nunya. Nunya bidnit.
I was 19 and cast my first got for Nixon in 1972.

The “silent majority” thing didn’t really bear out for Romney in 2012, or even for Brexit a week ago. (Brexit was consistently leading in the polls, but pundits and the financial and betting market simply refused to believe it.)
I was called for the Ca primary. Told them Trump. At the time I could have said Cruz or Kasich...
I saw that NRA Trump ad with the Benghazi survivor tonight while watching ABC World “News” Tonight in Maine.
It is great. Go Trump
What you say about Romney is true to a point. I, like lots of people, believed there were more people silently supporting him, but none were Democrats. I believe Trump is going to pull a lot of working class Dems, and for that reason he will win. I also expect most Republicans to get on board, especially if the VP pick is met with approval. We will see.
Absolutely! I live in the reddest state in the nation (Alabama). Everyone I know is a Trump supporter but nobody has a bumper sticker or anything else because of the leftist violence. Not any here yet, but why take the chance.
