The FReeper trolls have a new and improved manual this election. It has been updated to include:
I hope I’m wrong
I pray I’m wrong
I hate to say this but
All followed by the phrase “our guy sucks” “Barry did better”, or “looks like we’re losing”
Sadly, some pessimists here use the same language.
Human nature is funny, the negative polls go like wildfire and the positive ones trickle along, at least when were in a negative polling trend.
