[article: “Why Bidens Lead Is Safer Than Clintons”, it’s from Slate, of course pure bs]
I am pinging my list here rather than do a freepmail. I have a totally different theory.
The polls are not only wrong, they are seriously cooked. They are cooked for several reasons.
1) They are going to keep Biteme in the race. I know this goes against Freeper wisdom, but he aint going anywhere and the polls prove it. If they wanted to replace him, the first thing that would happen would be the polls would show him losing. That would be their excuse.
2) The broader purpose of the polls is to do what theyve been trying to do unsuccessfully for four years: separate Trump from his base. How do they do this? The idea is that if they can make our side believe these are real, people (such as has already happened with some senators, Peggy Noonan, and others) will push Trump to change his message. Be a unifier. In other words, drop much of MAGA for Bushism.
This is 100% confirmed in an article (Politico?) by Jim Acosta where the headline was something like Despite poll numbers Trump refuses to change message. They HAVE to get him off message, because right now hes winning.
3) BTW, as Ive shown many times, the polls were EXACTLY the same in 2016, with CNN in June having Trump down 14 (!). Indeed, I did a survey of polls from 2015-November 2016. There were 167. Trump only led in 30. His biggest lead, ever, outside of a May 2015 poll, was 5 points. Cankles biggest leads were 14 (2x), 13, 12 (many times), 11, 10 etc.
4) The last goal of the Hoax Polls is to frighten the vulnerable GOP senators into abandoning Trump, at which point they are toast. Note who was concerned about Trumps polls: senators, including even a couple not up for reelection.
A more reasonable alternative election would be a) the DemoKKKrats KNOW they cant substitute anyone else for Demented Prev Biteme. Its too late; they have already convinced half the country Biteme is winning; he WILL fight it, unlike Dinobernie; b) they know they are cruising for a massive losswe will hold the Senate (maybe lose net 1-2 seats)possibly take the House (looks better daily) and that Trump will win 320+ electoral votes. Not a landslide but in this climate, huge. Because they are cruising for such a defeat, they MUST get Trump off message.
They cant beat Trump. Only Trump can beat Trump.
Yes, the polls are VERY FAKE.
I think Trump will win by more than 2016 (Electoral Votes) unless the RATs can produce massive fraud in some Red States.
BTW, I HATE calling the patriot-controlled states “Red States.”
Since the 19th century, “Reds” is a term that has ALWAYS referred to the Marxists/anarchists/communists.
That’s the same reason the “prominent Republicans” are trash talking Trump right now - to either separate him from him base or to convince him to moderate his message and “move to the middle” where they are.
The best thing we can hope Trump does is to “be Trump”, ignore all the above, and tweet out a few “go to hell” messages for good measure. THAT is what will energize his base, because no one in his base cares a damn what the “moderate Republicans” think or want. And it will eventually send them the message (again) that no, I’m not a traditional Republican and no I don’t care what you think about that, but in the end you’ve only got one choice: Me as I am, or Sleepy Joe.
“Let Trump be Trump” is the way to victory.
Even digging into that skewed poll from Fla. was not all bad: TRUMP was Ahead on:
ECONOMY +5
TRADE +4
NAT. SECURITY +3
Down on immigration, health care, foreign policy, and Race
RACE was the biggest negative.
About what you would expect from oversampling DemoKKKrats.
And what's that old saying?
"IT'S THE ECONOMY-stupid! LOL
Peggy Noonan is the ultimate beltway insider. She has no actual political beliefs. She just wants to be liked by the cool people at the party. Incredibly needy, she cares not a whit what happens to people in the real world. If the champagne is flowing, and the great unwashed are kept outside of the party, she's happy. Her political viewpoint is based in the "focus group," what sound bite gets the magical uptick. She has no interest in the actual policies, and how they affect people.
