The polls are all fake… NBCWSJ … CNN, etc… Silver is batting zero … Trump haters … professional politician lawyers with teams of public relations people… the enemy.

In the primary season I used to inquire rhetorically, how many people must be made wrong for Trump to be right? After reading your reply I ask, how many institutions must be made wrong (even conspiratorial) for Trump to be right? At some point when we've made the whole world corrupt we have to ask whether we are abandoning honest partisan support and succumbing to paranoia?

Those who were saying the Brexit polls were wrong: were they being paranoid?

Weren't their multiple organizations doing the polling on Brexit, and weren't they all confirming each other?

Moreover, weren't these polls part and parcel of a relentless State-run Establishment propaganda campaign which blasted on every channel 24/7/365?

Sound familiar, anyone?

And yet their "consensus" was off by, what, 8+ points?

As for how many of the institutions must be made wrong, I can't imagine that any realistic polling model could be over-weighting democrats so heavily, both in terms of party splits and voter enthusiasm.

Virtually every poll which I have seen which looks rosy for Hillary has ridiculously impractical assumptions regarding such figures.

Now, it's well known that budging those specific variables by just a point or two in the "right" direction can produce an obvious bias in favor of a certain candidate, which can then be used to feed a propaganda narrative.

I think the enthusiasm gap, the changes in party registration, and the independent and "never voted" vote is going to blow all of these "rose colored glasses" pollsters right out of the water. Their heads are going to explode.

Just like the Brexit pollsters missed the populist/anti-globalist wave, echoes of which have been rippling all over Europe for the past several election cycles, and just like all the other polling organizations have been consistently underestimating this general trend, so too are American pundits completely missing (and indeed denying) the massive movement building here in America, and which is being driven by many of the same concerns.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!
