Does John Ralston know more about Nevada than the polls? (Vanity)

Posted on 09/21/2016 4:41:55 PM PDT by Viper652

That's what some Democrats are saying. Saying the Nevada polls don't calculate the Hispanics.

Is it liberal wishful thinking

I would suspect that they rely more on the Hispanics in Nevada, like they rely on the dead in big cities across America. That is probably what John knows regarding Nevada.

His show, Ralston Live, was seen each weekday on the two Nevada PBS stations in Las Vegas and Reno and his show was discontinued on June 21, 2016.

Apparently this guru knows that the Democrats can cheat with Hispanic votes. That is just my wide guess.

Larry Sabato said essentially the same on Britt Hume’s show this evening.

These same stooges have no problem with NBC poll that samples 2012 voters by Obama +14 (he won by 3).

Sabato and Ralston are on record saying Trump has no chance to win. Look at Ralstons Twitter feed. He’s as bad as a Kos kook. He has zero credibility.

That wasn’t what I heard on Brit Hume. Sabato was asked if the 40%40% split o republicans and democrats was accurate and he said that the Hispanic population in Nevada isn’t often accurately polled and they are generally democrat voters. That’s not the same as cheating at the polls.

I personally watched the bus loads of Hispanics dropped off for early voting in 2010. They were unloading at the outlet mall on south Las Vegas Blvd.

Most would not speak to you, or did not speak English. Most of the few I did get to talk said a casino bussed them over to vote but several admitted they came from California.

I am sure they all voted for Reid in what was supposed to be a tight race.

When you ship them in from out of state of course the Hispanic vote is under counted.

I didn’t mean to imply cheating at the polls. Though, that is a given lol.

As you said, Sabato was dubious of the Nevada polling saying the polls tend to understate the Hispanic vote. Language thing I suppose.

The illegals? If some pollster calls an illegal, that illegal won’t admit that they will vote. But I’m sure the unions will bus them to the polls and make sure they vote one way or the other. Or teach them how to mail in a vote.

Ralston knows more about Nevada politics than anybody else in the state. He is very well connected to politicos on both sides of the aisle and he definitely leans far left. He is smug and pretty self-assured in his own sense of importance. That all said, I live in a VERY Republican area and I travel into Washoe County (bellweather county) several times a week. I see very little support in terms of signs or stickers for either Hillary or Donald.

Might want to check the NV votes. Trump did very well during the NV Primary with Hispanics. This is just another racist Dem assuming all people of color automatically vote for them
