This is a story about a left wing poll.

I'm not at all surprised. This was repeated many thousands of times for years by most networks, so of course, it made a lasting impression. There was not the same enthusiasm when the time came for the networks to fess up and tell their viewers/readers it was all a lie.

It may seem early, but I think Trump needs to get aggressive advertising. It takes time and repetition to change people's impressions.

Darth, I read on the Babylon Bee that you are hoarding ventilators. Is this true?

Remember, this scam could not have been pulled off without the full cooperation of the Fake News Media, they are Co-Conspirators and should all be Charged Accordingly, if anyone ever decides to give a damn about the Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow the United State4s Government that they orchestrated.

Lying works. The Soviets knew this, the Nazis knew it, the Chicoms know it, and, of course, the Democrats and their media subsidary know it. The American people are easily persuaded by complete nonsense frequently and persistently put forward by people determined to seize and abuse power.

Reading this story is like reading the Babylon Bee.

Not a shock. It has not been debunked with the same passion and zeal by the media with which they promoted it.

. . . which proves that the propaganda cartel - a.k.a., the Associated Press (and its membership), commonly called “the Media” - has committed the tort of libel against Mr. Trump.

And that the damage of that tort is substantial.

Re: Meh on the poll:

Source noted. But, let me reprint a famous quote by H.L. Mencken:

“No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.”

PT Barnum had a shorter version. He also paraphrased it with, “A sucker is born every minute.”

REALLY? Wow! Now THAT there is the END of the world. But but but HOW can it be that in two separate polls (Emerson 19 and Rasmussen 18 points) Trump supporters are more enthusiastic to vote than Joey Fingers voters? Why it must be that we’re “jes too dumb” to realize that Comma Bob Mueller nailed the president, GOOOOLY! GEE!!
They are getting desperate and of course Hillary Clinton has a 95% chance of winning.

Maybe if Durham could get out some of his indictments soon, the people would realize the truth. Convictions and imprisonments would be even a stronger argument. Okay, I’m done dreaming. It’s time to wake up.

I have absolutely no doubt of this. Propaganda works.
