"“Isn’t winning” and “behind in the polls” are two vastly different concepts. The fact that some pundit would say that Trump isn’t winning this early is absurd. It is just too early. By the polls, Reagan was not winning until just before the election, if then."

Excellent understanding of election dynamics and of the subterfuge of the corrupt, left-wing American Pravda media.

Usually, people who use “noob” have a higher opinion of themselves than what they really are...

It's not that I have a higher opinion of myself, it's just that I have a lower opinion of you.

Yeah, agreed that that Cohen dude is just too obnoxious to be speaking on TV for Trump. IMO, he will do more harm than good. He was also very obnoxious in the primaries.


Yep...and look where that got Trump...the nomination and more votes than any other Republican candidate in history...with 15 other candidates, most of them very credible in their own right. I say let Trump be Trump and let his surrogates be themselves. Actually kind of refreshing.

You were horrified? Maybe a foam party will help.

Funny you should say that. As it happens, I have one planned in a couple of hours.

GMTA, huh?

We’re seeing it differently. OK was calling her out. As a parent to a child. Which is why newsie changed the subject instead of defending ‘all of them’. Trump leads in some state polls, is behind in some state polls and is a statistical tie in many national polls. She made a stupid statement.

Pew 41/37
Rasmussen 41/39
Reuters 39/35
economist/yougov: 41/35
NBC: 43/37
Brietbart 42/37
LA Times 44/43 (two way race)
Rasmussen 43/40
Bloomberg 44/40

To say that Cohen didn’t sound too up on current polling data would be an understatement.

I will say that in the short time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed several of your comments and I have agreed with most all you’ve said...

I don’t understand why this has gone in the direction it has...

Oh, well....

Here, let me explain.

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Maceman is from the class of 1998.

So what he's saying is bascially:

I understand that...LOL...

I’m 67 years old...I’ve recently retired and before retirement, I didn’t really have the time to frequent FR as a poster...I now enjoy coming here and find just about all the Freepers are friendly and courteous...This is the first time anyone has used that term toward me...

I just found it kinda silly...

When all of the media, FOX included, covers up an FBI/DOJ raid on a Philly Hillary Campaign HQ, which is absolutely flabbergasting, you think the same media is going to play fair with polls?

And with all the bile displayed in all the media for Trump and his supporters, do you think supporters answer honestly to those same pollsters?

Yes it is a no-brainer, but 51% of the electorate have no brain.

“He was pretty much tied with Carter between the conventions and the election.”

I don’t quite know which universe you live in.

From Lubbockonline.com:

Past polls have also shown Democrats leading their Republican opponents up to the election. One of the most dramatic was a Gallup Poll result 2 weeks before the 1980 General Election that showed Jimmy Carter to be far ahead of Ronald Reagan. Rush Limbaugh stated,

In a Gallup poll on October 26th in 1980, two weeks before the election, Gallup had it Jimmy Carter 47, Ronald Reagan 39. That election two weeks later ended up in a landslide that was so big that Carter conceded before California closed.

The New York Times verified this poll,

Ronald Reagan, who trailed President Jimmy Carter 47 percent to 39 percent in a survey completed on Oct. 26, 1980.

As did Wikipedia,

Arguably the most important event of the entire 1980 presidential campaign was the second presidential debate, which was held one week to the day before the election (October 28).[24] On October 26, two days prior to the debate, Gallup released a survey that suggested that Carter was leading Reagan by a margin of 47% to 39%.

Gaslighting is in full force by those paid by the Clintoons to win the election anyway they can.
