The biggest difference between tbe ‘12 electon and this one is SCOTUS. The voting groups such as evangelical who stayed home on some weird principle weren’t staring,down the barrel of Scalia’s death.
I will personally hold blame against any flavor of nevertrump individual or group if Donald Trump loses this election based soley on this issue.
FOX is going lib.
Hannity was scolded for appearing in a pro-Trump Commercial.
Bret Hume is in the #neverTrump camp, and I don’t like watching FOX anymore. He was anti-Trump during the RNC primary campaign, and it continues...
That article deserves it’s own thread. This article already has over 12K views.
I saw a lot of people say they weren’t voting for a Mormon. I guess having a Muslim in the White house for 8 years was more appealing....
Bingo.
Exactly—and this has been going on since last summer consistently.
The make polls,into news.
Faux news the new CNN.
These are people who have not dropped their land line and do not have their phone number unlisted.

That would be us. Hardwired landline is essential when there is an electrical storm that takes out the portable phones and/or disrupts cell traffic out here where the cell towers are in the single digits.
Listed # is also necessary because we have two small businesses, one of which is a local service that needs some sort of directory listing, which is actually our only advertising.
We use Caller ID to screen calls. Some polls read “local number” or actually use a local number. The second we figure out it is a poll, we hang up. We have not been polled, but, honestly, our available demographics (age/location/ethnicity) makes our preference obvious.
I did phone banking in both W elections and there were A LOT of hangups and ignored calls.
“With the BO approval levels and the economy, he should have lost.
Something motivated folks to vote for him.”
Obama received 69.5 million votes in 2008 to McCain’s 60 million. Obama received 66 million votes in 2012 to Romney’s 61 million. George W. Bush received 62 million (1 million more than Romney) in 2004. Note, Obama received 3.5 million fewer votes in 2012, but Romney only gained 1 million more votes than McCain in 2008.
Romney simply failed to communicate how a Romney administration would be different than a second Obama term.
1) Romney was the architect of Romneycare so his anti Obamacare rhetoric was not compelling.
2) Romney was soft on immigration. No real difference from Obama.
3) Romney’s interventionist foreign policy was essentially the same Bush neocon foreign policy.
4) Romney failed to attack Obama aggressively on any issue.
5) Romney allowed his opponent to define him.
6) Romney was sandbagged by Obama and Candy Crowley in the debate and wilted instead of fighting.
In summary, Romney lost because he failed to clearly position himself clearly in the minds of the voter as a compelling alternative to a second Obama term. Mushy on issues and passive in campaigning does not win elections.
Fox has undermined his candidacy every step of the way. I used to be a Fox News addict. Now I watch a select couple of shows. I think their audience is more democrat and rino now. The fact that Hannity beat Meghan and O’Reilly in the latest ratings speaks volumes as to where FNC’s stands. We have to fight the media alongside Trump by not watching.
I guess when Hillary says she should be up by 50, FOX was more than willing to oblige her.
BS....This is going to be a blow out for Trump.....
-——I remember hearing all this 4 years ago about the polls. We were all pretty confident Romney would win. -——
Polling is meaningless in this day and age, the methodology hasn’t caught up with the way people live....
Millions and millions of people do not have a land line phone....and have already voted...
Also the only thing that matters on Election Day is the GOTV, the dems always have a strong ground force of storm troopers to get people to the polls...
Does Trump have a ground game in the swing states?
If he doesn’t it will cost him the election...
Good to know. Thanks.
...”I don’t even watch TV anymore and have no interest in anything these talking heads have to say.”...
We have stopped watching and listening, too. The propaganda is overwhelming and ridiculous. The bias is dangerous. America is being doctrinated into the anti-culture system which has permeated NYC and California for a long time and it is being done through the media, most of which practice that culture and know little about the true America and who She is. Look at the electoral map. Is it not obscene that 12 states on the fringe of this country will decide who are rulers are when the vast interior of the country is not of that culture? I think I have read that 40% of the population of NYC does not even speak English. And, that is the model they want for the rest of the country. Weep, America. Ignorance is taking us down.
...”Donald Trump is being ripped apart in the news, the mainstream media, and the liberal left nonstop for being a private American citizen like most of us. Yet Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the criminals occupying our government are not. The mainstream media is the Democratic Party. Stop listening to them and allowing them to influence your thinking with their Goebbels-Stalinist-Alinskyite propaganda. Stop being brainwashed, and start thinking for yourself, as an individual, as a private citizen, as a concerned American – about the Constitution, your country, your and your family’s and your children’s future, about America.

Don”t forget Cloward and Pivin who drew up the blueprint of how to take America down and it looks like that blueprint was put into place over the past 8 years. Forgive me if the spelling of the names is not exactly correct.
Before the debate the media was talking positive about trump. He was in great shape. Then he let the birther thing get back in focus instead of trump saying Obama isn’t running Hillary is. He said I don’t know where he was born. At this point it doesn’t matter. Issues matter. The debate he didn’t control the narritive. He should have.
