If you don't like the idea, that's fine. I'm just spitballing here. I can certainly see Trump doing something like this!

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.

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?

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?

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.”

For Trump supporters to skew a poll they need to give anti-Trump responses, which just gives the MSM more ammunition for using the results as disinformation to influence the actual vote away from Trump.

One reason or maybe the reason that polls are not terribly accurate is that more conservatives than liberals/lefties react to pollsters by hanging up the phone or lying. This has been happening for several cycles now. I would love for that to be the rule rather than occasional.
