*LOL* Trump is suing Selzer over terrible Iowa poll?
YouTube ^ | 12/15/2024 | Depressed Ginger

Clear coordinated with Harris Campaign, election interference.
Selzer was clearly paid off to deliberately inflate the Harris figures by a huge amount, which was promptly picked up and amplified by legacy news media.
Great days.

The issue is not the First Amendment.

The issue is whether the pollster and/or the newspaper were paid to lie, then knowingly and maliciously lied, and then failed to disclose it in a timely manner.

If that lie harmed anyone those harmed may have a cause of civil action.

Based on the available data, she had a bad poll.

And not the first time.

Who was the harmed party?

Published in “news section” of fake news media does not make it news.
This was a clearly planned voter suppression effort by Ann Selzer and the Harris campaign to suppress voter turn out of Trump voters.
Unfortunately for them it failed miserably.
Selzer and Des Moines Register who have now been officially sued by President Trump, will get taken apart in court.
Great times!

It was not a “bad poll”.
It was deliberate fraud.
“Who was the harmed party”?
President Trump, the Trump campaign and Trump voters of course.

It’s a heavy lift to “deliberate fraud”, but it sounds like you have the evidence to support that claim.

How? President Trump WON Iowa. And the voters? Again, HOW were they harmed?

Winning despite fraud doesn't mean there was no fraud.There was.

<>Who’s money funded that poll?<>

Perhaps the same entity that paid a mill to Oprah, tried to buy off influencers, 500K to Al Sharpton for a softball interview . . . and likely so many others.

In fact until that one poll she had a solid history.

That is why the poll was persuasive to many leftists.

It falls under the broad category of “election interference”.

Who does that harm?

That would be a great subject to litigate.

I think it was about the betting markets, somebody made a killing on it.

“Re: 36 - grow up, potty mouth.”

We figured that you’re a NeverTrumper. Thanks for PROVING IT by defending her.

LOL!

I’m not defending her - and am not a NT.

But when you can’t argue the point in an on-point manner, you get responses like… yours.

Tell it to Trump, he’s about to sue her, and yes, there are election laws and she may well have violated them.

We’ll see. I’ll predict the lawsuit is not successful (no monetary settlement is paid).

“We’ll see. I’ll predict the lawsuit is not successful (no monetary settlement is paid).”

If she gets strung up on an Illegal Campaign Contribution, that will be fine by me.

Revenge for bogus NY cases against Trump. The idea is they want red state juries.
