Was it ever going to be anything other than nasty and divisive, regardless of Trump’s post Helsinki poll ratings?

Wasn’t it always? Goodness, the enemy hasn’t even decided for sure which outrageous “scandal” they’re supposed to use. Maybe they’ll surprise us (ha!) with a brand new one. None of the current ones seem to be working.....heh heh heh...

"...nasty and divisive..."


Normal people with regular lives have tuned-out the perpetual outrage of absurd leftwingers. It is trite, boring, and overdone.

This writer’s vitriol and hatred are the reasons for a “divisive” and “nasty” election. It will just be a reflection of who he and his Democrat/Marxist friends are.

This leftist meltdown that began on the morning of Nov 9, 2016 continues to this day and shows no signs of abating! The angrier they get the more they continue their downfall. You would think some prominent people in that party would try to put the brakes on their party’s lunacy. Nope. That train has left the station and is headed right off a cliff.

I think this is code for the left to get nastier and more divisive.

Democrats still have no clue TRUMP is just a differant kind of candidate that will drive voters to the polls!

They still think TRUMP is like a Mitt Romney to his voters, no enthusiasm at all

Just as much a condemnation of Fake News and its inability to sway the People that Trump is Satan on Earth......

We shouldn't forget the lesson of 2016 in regards to polls. The polls aren't for measuring public sentiment - they are for changing it.

The methodology of modern pollsters is to gather data from x number of people, and then adjust the sampling percentage of Democrats/Republicans/Independents until the desired outcome is achieved.

What's really a hoot is how they defeated themselves with their phony polls in 2016. Proclaiming the witch had a 95% chance of winning might have been calming to the nerves of those near the top of the swamp food chain, but as a practical matter it made Democrat voters complacent and reduced her vote.

They should be smart enough to not repeat the same mistake for the mid-terms, but panic is irrational. I expect the polls to show a blue tsunami just before the election, and I expect them to be spectacularly wrong, again.
