Trump rejects 'phony' polls, insists 'we are winning'
Associated Press ^ | Oct 24, 2016 5:47 PM EDT | Steve Peoples and Jonathan Lemire

A defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media on Monday, fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency shrinks.

With just 14 days until the election, the Republican nominee campaigned in battleground Florida as his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton. That would leave him only a razor-thin pathway to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House on Nov. 8.

Despite continued difficulties with women and minorities, Trump refuses to soften his message in the campaign’s final days to broaden his coalition. Yet he offered an optimistic front in the midst of a three-day tour through Florida as thousands began voting there in person.

“I believe we’re actually winning,” Trump declared during a round table discussion with farmers gathered next to a local pumpkin patch. …

About polls. Bill Mitchell does a great job at dissecting the internals of media polls and points out the countless inconsistencies we are getting from pollsters. He loves to take on the HellBot trolls; he’s good. Furthermore, he hosts an Internet radio show with guests going over the everyday happenings of the election.

How to counteract the messed-uppolls and lying press:

EVERY Trump supporter—and everyone who loves our country and our Civilization—must MARCH to the polls and VOTE—even of you live in “safe for clinton” states or in “conceded” (NOT!) states!!!! Bring as many others as you can!!!! Wear red!!!!

NO ONE must stay home, or at work, or hide in a bunker someplace! Let complacent Hillary supporters and Dims stay home, because she’s “won it anyway”!!!!

Let’s SHOCK the traitor journos like they’ve never been shocked before, and Make America Great Again!!!!

“So why in the world would we suspect the MSM and their colleagues across the board have queered their polls for their `rat masters, as well as their coverage of the candidates?”

We know they lie constantly on stories, we know from Wikileaks that their stories are approved or changed by the Clinton Campaign. Yet, for some strange reason, people believe that the polling is above board and real. Ask yourself: What evidence do I have that anything told to me by the State Controlled Media is the unvarnished truth? Anything. So why would their polls be the one single thing that’s above board?

No!

How did you do that?

I’m on my craptastic iPhone, in the car, right now, and lucky to post anything without freaky autocorrects.

I am stomping into my poll in Maryland, as pointless as that may seem, just as I have done since I first could, in 1979.

In 2008, I awoke to find my beloved Izzy dying, but with tear swollen eyes, went and voted that evening.

Only my own demise would stop me.

Even then, I’d probably still wind up voting.... Dem.

Yes.. normally public polling starts to move to actual results soon so they can say they got it right. Will be interesting to see if they do that and if they get it right.

Minnesota is definitely trump based on lawn signs however people I know would never vote anything but D don’t have signs this year. They still support Hillary they are just quite about it. I don’t think trump will carry MN. Bug I hope I am wrong.

CO + NV. CO + NH. NV + NH + ME(1).

The above are razor margin victories (all assume OH, FL, & NC - lose any and it is doubtful Trump wins). Now, pick up at least one of PA, VA, MI, or WI, and an Electoral victory for Trump becomes easier.

“NV + NH + ME(1)”

This one makes more sense.

Well, if you want to be able to type Я without spaces, then just type the character & before the #1071;, hence Я.

IDK. Minnesota has a strange tradition of electing unconventional politicians. Probably wishful thinking since yes, Minnesota is a deep blue state. But, I just have a feeling it’s going to happen.
