Do you think this would be a worthwhile idea?
Trump should start anticipating the types of poll questions that the leftist media will be asking people in the runup to the 2020 election -- and at his rallies, he should get out in front of them. For example, he could say something like this at a rally:
"You know, you just know, that the fake-news media is going to be coming out with crazy poll questions, like 'How will the outcome of the Mueller report affect your vote?' You know what you should do? Tell these pollsters exactly what they want to hear. Skew the polls so crazily that no one will be able to take them seriously. And then, on Election Day, go to your voting place and answer the only poll question that counts."
Trump could cripple a lot of these pollsters before they ever get off the ground. Leftist media would be furious if he did something like this. And furious people make a lot of mistakes.
I'm sure there are drawbacks to this idea. But in general, I think it would be a great idea for Trump to get out in front of the fake-news people who try to sway elections.
I’d get a kick out of 20 percent approval ratings and then 360 electoral votes :)
What is it you think he did in 2016?
Hillary had a 98% chance of winning. According to them.
He didn’t have the platform in 2016 that he has now. And he has a lot more people supporting him now than 3 years ago.
Skew the polls so crazily that no one will be able to take them seriously.

Thing is, no one takes them seriously NOW.
I mean - look at 2016. How much more of an abject failure could the polls have BEEN? And yet, on that very night, many of the pollsters were making excuses, and right after we went right back to where the media wanted us to be - following the polls.
It’s not an original idea but it would really work. Liberal Dems are sheep following their leaders in the media. If they believe that they are leading by large margins in the polls their voter turnout numbers will plummet.
When he goes to Arlington TX to AT&T Stadium and fills every seat it won’t matter what the polls say.
Polls didn’t matter in 2016, why worry about them now?

(don't talk to the f---ing media)
Let’s commission our own polls then release them to the press:
Do YOU feel Obama committed crimes sticking ‘intelligence services’ on the Trump campaign?
Do you feel democrats have accepted the results of Trump’s election.
Do you feel democrats will accept the results of the next election when Trump wins again?
Up until about 11:00 on election night, they were still certain Hillary had it in the bag.
The smugness was sweet to see washed off their faces in the early hours of the new day.
Remember how everyone believed Hillary would win? The press, the polls, the 'elites', local news, every newspaper etc etc etc... then Trump won. We don't believe in the 'integrity' of the press either - besides Trump can smell out liberal lies - and he knows how to deal with them.
This isn't much of an issue..
I would lie to pollsters anyway.

My take, if you tell pollsters that Trump is going to lose and crooks ensure that Trump will lose, then you don’t really have a narrative to say that there were crooks involved because you gave crooked answers.
You are forgetting that Polls are a tool to create a narrative, yeah they pretend to reflect peoples opinions, but they are really about narratives. If the narrative is “Trump is going to lose” then that’s what media and elites will insist on when 2020 election comes and goes.
I predict a massive amount of voter fraud this 2020. Its going to be obvious that there is fraud. Does another plank to that rotting ship also need to say “running up to the elections Trump supporters were abandoning him.”
Anything more recent than last December?

Everywhere! :^)
Actually, it was a little earlier - right about 9:30 EST.
I took a screen cap, because it’s a thing of beauty. Up until about 9:00, the NYT had Trump about 20% and Hillary > 80% chance of winning. Then, as results come in, Trump’s percentages skyrocket and Hillary’s bottom out, until by 11:00 it’s 95% Trump, 5% Clinton. At that point, it must have been clear to the media that this was, indeed, their worst nightmare come to life.
Wonderful moment - and one they’re sure to do ANYTHING to avoid next time around by cheating and lying any way they possibly can.
