Those “useless hypothetical election polls” are the best evidence we have at this point in time and are at least more predictive then the hyped anecdotal “evidence” and over emotional conjecture Trump supporters put so much faith in.

These polls are no more evidence than throwing darts at a dartboard would be. As far as "over emotional". Nonsense. Just an objective view derived from reason and observation (granted, potentially flawed observation, but objective and honest). If I came to different conclusions, I would say different things. The bottom line is that we have no hard evidence at this point of anything to do with the general election (nor do we ever). What we do have is the ability to observe, and come to rational conclusions.

Your vapid statement was the epitome of an emotional response. The equivalent of a school-yard "so are you". You hear an opinion about a candidate, an opinion you (emotionally) don't like, so you retort with "yeah, well it applies to x as well." That kind of emotional, vapid, response, using non-evidence as evidence, is a perfect example of "willful blindness" (a refusal to take an honest view of what is occurring"), and conclusion that is "wrong." I can't help you any more than that. Coming to conclusions in the way that you did, well, it will only work out by chance.

There’s no reasoning with someone who has drunk long and hard of the carnival barker Kool-Aid.

Have a pleasant evening.

BTW, here are a few Trump positions for you to ponder while watching the returns come in....

1.He (Trump) thinks affirmative action is okay.
2.He would fund Planned Parenthood except for abortion. (This is current federal policy)
3.He supports a progressive income tax. He does not favor a flat tax.
4.He doesn’t want to cut Social Security or Medicare.
5.He’s in favor of a ban on assault weapons and supports increased waiting periods for purchase of ALL firearms.
6.He supports Universal Healthcare coverage for every American and the “govt. will pay for it”.
7.He doesn’t “fully believe in supply-side economics”.
8.He wants to lead “from behind” on Ukraine. Trump believes that Germany should take the lead on Ukraine.
9.He hates the Iran deal, but he wouldn’t abrogate it after taking office.
10. A short 5 years ago he termed the Republican approach to immigration enforcement “mean spirited”.
11.He supports “touchback amnesty”.
12.He has supported/supports such liberal sacred cows as ethanol subsidies, Kelo and govt. bailouts.
