I somehow got on the MoveOn.org mailing list, and every once in a while get a jewel in my inbox (junk folder) from them. Here is todays email.
BREAKING: Trump surges in the polls
Support for Donald Trump has SURGED following the Republican convention, with the last four public polls showing the Republican presidential nominee defeating Hillary Clinton.
Dear MoveOn member,
Support for Donald Trump has SURGED following the Republican convention, with four of the most recent public polls showing the Republican presidential nominee defeating Hillary Clinton by an average of two to three points.1
And former New York Times statistician Nate Silver—who predicted state-by-state returns in 2012 with 100% accuracy—is now predicting that if the election were held today, Trump would have a 55.9% chance of winning.2
As impossible as all of this sounds, it’s what is happening in this country, which is why we need you to pitch in to our emergency campaign to counter Trump’s surge in the polls.
Will you make an urgent contribution today to help us get progressives off the sidelines in this election, especially in swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania?
Yes, I'll chip in $3 right now to help stop Donald Trump.
This is a critical week for our efforts. Trump is ramping up his fundraising and mobilizing in the swing states, while Democrats meet in Philadelphia for the convention. We cannot afford to allow this Trump surge to grow or become permanent.
With your help, we will:
* Use social media to educate voters about what's at stake, with videos that will be seen tens of millions of times. We're on track to reach an audience equivalent to that of a cable news TV show, without a dime of corporate advertising.
* Launch door-to-door volunteer canvasses using in-person conversations, which are proven to be one of the most effective ways to get out the vote and swing elections. We've just finished our proof-of-concept canvass in Ohio, and we're gearing up to roll it out in 10 key states.
* Get MoveOn spokespeople and MoveOn members on TV to reach millions of Americans about just how much is at stake. MoveOn staff were interviewed by national TV networks multiple times outside of the Republican National Convention last week, and we've already been on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC three times at the Democratic National Convention. But we need your help to invest more in media pitching, training, and staffing, so that we can get our spokespeople and MoveOn members in front of voters from now through Election Day with the messaging that our research and polling have shown can mobilize key voters who could decide the election.
Can we count on you to send an emergency contribution to help us defeat Donald Trump?
Yes, I'll chip in $3 right now to help keep Trump out of the White House.
Thanks for all you do.

LOL. They don’t like the fact that the country is trying to “Move On” from the Clintons.
They’re feeling the burn! (-:
Let them fund raise all they want. This election is going to be about MESSAGE! And this is what the Democrats are sorely lacking in.
$3.00?? They really know their audience is a bunch of penniless losers, don’t they?
It’s three bucks, which you pay to be on their mailing list for life.
Live Free or Die!
There’s gonna’ be a lot of butthurt at moveon in Nov.
Just a few months ago, MoveOn was totally in the tank for Bernie.
Musta got a “visit” from the Clinton Crime Family
They’re asking them for $3 of their welfare money.
Grandmas across the country are about to get their change purses emptied when their Eloi grandspawn crawl out of her basement while she sleeps.
They plan to use social media to explain to everyone what is at stake. The only social media I’ve seen are Hillary cultists calling everyone else idiots and retards. I hope they keep it up.
I have this little wiggler coworker who assaults me with all sorts of libturd political diatribes. Last Friday he was sending me this “Trump is Hitler, all women hate Trump, no educated American will be voting for Trump,” even tossed in the Nate Silver analysis last week about how badly Trump will get stomped.
I told him I could find him a hundred educated Americans who want to vote for him, easy. And my wife, a female, voted for him in the primary, then today I sent him the latest from Nate Silver, as mentioned above.
Crickets. No anti-Trump hate, no “big guns and common sense gun laws” silliness, no hysterical global warming BS, nothing. I’m not a Trump fan but I hope he stomps Hillary’s fat ass flat. And I’ll email this little wiggler the election results every day for a week.
I know a guy who posted on FB about why all the poor people are poor. Then he had a link to something about Trump. This guy is one of the most envious s.o.b.s I’ve ever known. The world has screwed him and it’s all just not fair. And he is one poor bastard. But not because of the rich. He’s poor because he’s always wanted to start on third base.
And, oh yeah. He lives in his high school days when he thinks he was big man on campus. But none of his high school friends will speak to him now. They think he’s gone nuts. I’ve known he’s nuts my whole life.
‘Rats are on the run!
I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth at media-matters as I type. Too bad - so sad.
I have taken to going to the Facebook page for Hillary and finding out which of my “friends” are supporting her, then calling them out on it via text message, and making them try to defend her.
Beware the Wizard of Trump. Witch of the East is about to have a house hit her noggin.
