We are not, repeat NOT, going to exhaust unnecessary energy in the next 10 days to deconstruct the insufferably predictable media-agenda-polls that are looming on the near horizon.
The corporations who have a vested interest in manufacturing the Potemkin village have their collected pollsters armed with fresh paint to create the optics of a historic surge in polling upon the conclusion of the Democrat National Party Convention in Philadelphia.
Benjamin Franklin Half a Truth is often a Great Lie
This paint job has been planned for weeks, if not months.
You can count on a manufactured corporate-media pretense to deliver a carefully scripted narrative giving Hillary Clinton a post convention bounce around 10 to 15 points (+/- 3).
Whats coming is so intensely predictable, that if they dont do it well actually eat a plain rice cake.
There may be a few scientific polling outcomes that are not connected to the tentacles of the media; well look for those.
However, polling from: CNN/ORC (Turner), ABC (Disney), NBC (Mark Murray), Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch), Monmouth (Patrick Murray), FOX News (Daron Shaw), Reuters, CBS (David Rhodes), and PPP (Happy Liberals), are g-ua-r-a-n-t-e-e-d to be manufactured for maximum political value. ie. Painting the Potemkin Village.
Fortunately, theres a decent (and recent) history showing the ideological fail of their best prior efforts. Divergent outcomes including: Matt Bevin (KY), GOP Primary (FL, IN, etc), The Brexit outcome, and the Republican delegate totals etc., the list goes on.
Consequently, amid the new electoral awakening, people are looking more critically, more cynically, at the disconnect between agenda-driven media polls (corporate interests) and the factual real outcomes (people interests).
How can we be so certain the onslaught is about to take place? Good Question.
Take today, as a litmus in a predictive sense. The Pennsylvania polling from Suffolk U is bizarrely disconnected from current reality. Also today, Rasmussen says Clinton leads by 5 points amid unaffiliated voters. Keep in mind just last week the same Rasmussen poll had Trump leading by 20 points (44/24), with those SAME unaffiliated voters. Did unaffiliated Rasmussen voters swing 25 points in a week? of course not. Thats silly. But thats what they presented today. The week prior to last week it was Trump +11 (43/32) with the same voters.
Conversely, Donald J Trump did not swing 16 or 17 points in his post GOP convention bounce. Attributing such pro-Trump polling outcomes to reality is just as flawed as accepting the upcoming pro-hillary polling paint job.
Outlining the media corruption in this process is not conspiracy theory, its not hiding from reality, its not a host of other things or isms that those with vested political interests might call it. Its just simply the natural and transparently predictable acceptance that trillions of dollars are at stake in this election, and those massively invested influences have a vested stake in a very particular and specific approach.
And we hate rice cakes

thanks for the reminder, gramps
sometimes it gets pretty cold out here.
I think Trump is on a winning general campaign path now.
