Donald Trump loves polls and he has not spent a lot of $ on his campaign. Trump should just create his own polling company. Publish their methodologies. Make it an open and understandable process.
Been saying for a long time the downfall of Tea Party was they failed to create their own polling institution as well as failed to forthrightly deal with voting discrepancies. It's too much to ask Trump, mid campaign, to deal with the latter, but he can do the former. These Establishment polls need to be examined and their methodologies outed.
Sick of being lied to.
Other thing I am sick of? Sick of the GOPe pushing actual issues on THEIR time frame. Like this IRS impeachment JUST HAPPENS to be the same day of the Prez GOP debate and Ryan's vote?
Really?
Liars. THROW THEM ALL OUT!
Thanks for the comments. I agree with you.
Sadly, according to Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse, Cruz is GOPe. It’s all the same money going to these candidates.
This is why Trump said no PACs.
More interesting comments. Thanks.
Well, I was disappointed when I first heard about that $500K donation going to Snarly.
Then, I was even more disappointed to find out that Cruz’ PAC director is David Barton....close friend of Glenn Beck.
Then, I read that Rick Perry’s big donors have saddled up with Cruz.
Maybe sundance knows a lot more than many of us do, or thought we did :(
Trump really needs to start preparing for voter fraud. If a man like Trump gets the nomination but does not publically bring this possibility/certainty out into the open...we will know he was never for real.
Polls first. They can’t rig the votes so easily if the polls are accurate.
Barton and Beck. Very strange. Must be lodge brothers.
Trump's polling system is his rallies. When you pack a venue with solid, screaming supporters...who needs polls?
Trump is a deal man (I was a long time ago). He knows the weak links in the deal winning process.
He knows that fraud and voter intimidation at the booths will damage him and the country.
Easy to fix with security.
And Trump knows good security.
I like what you wrote about SuperPacs and I like what Trump said about PACs in general.Trump hit the super pacs hard last night and there was a reason....Bush JUST happened to have a campaign thingy going on and right next to him was his super pace? That is against FEC laws....but is anyone saying anything? NO, because Debby ’cry baby’ Bush is the poster child to run against shillary to win the POTUS…WE need to find all the information we can about these crooks and get it out there - HarleyLady27
I appreciate Trump bringing up the issue of PACs having strange, unaccountable agendas — ‘specially after Cruz’s PAC donated to Carly?
Only thing wrong with PACs is that, under the Constitution, "Campaign Finance Reform" is absurd.The New York Times is allowed to spend as much money as it can pony up, advocating for whatever cockamamie policy ideas turn them on. I have to fill out a form if I express a political policy preference at a time when it might be important for me to do so. Nonsense. But, “good government.†Unless of course the Secretary of State solicits money from foreign governments for her “charity.†And her husband take in 6 figure “honoraria†from foreign governments. Then constitutional provisions like
have “no controlling legal authority.”
- Article 1 Section 9:
- No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
Money actually is not speech. But I double dare you to run a big printing press, or broadcast operation, without big bucks. The unregulated use of money is central to freedom of the press. And the money of The New York Times is no cleaner than yours, or the Koch brothers’ is.
Could [Carson’s] 7th-Day Adventists be FReeping the polls?
Have no idea. The consensus was they were automated.
