Exactly! Anyone who chose to go behind the Iron Curtain for “unknown activities” was assumed to be a spy. And would be unable to get elected President. I’d like to know who smoothed the whole way for him. And was Mena chosen because Bill would be a friendly government official? Did he rape and plunder because he would be protected? It stretches credulity. But a candidate running for President after Osama and 9/11 is called Obama Hussein seemed a prank at first, too.

Caddell hasn’t been a liberal for a very long time. Along with Jody Powell and Hamilton Jordan, they served their boss Jimmy Carter back in the day, but weren’t left wingers by a long shot.

The primary only confirms both the “Brexit” and the #nevertrump movement. He got more votes than any GOP nominee before (Bush in 2000 being the next highest) but he had a lower percentage of the total votes than anyone since 1968.

My feeling is that Trump’s best chance of winning is to find a way to bring more Republicans home in the last 2 weeks. It seems like he’s got the disaffected voter crowd in his pocket at this time. Speaking to as many traditional Republican issues as possible in the next 2 weeks is probably what he needs to do, rather than focusing on the firebrand outsider aspects of his campaign.

The only poll that counts is the one taken November 8th.

Caddell was the first person (that I heard) to bring up the first O’Keefe video. Nobody was touching it even after many hours after its release — not libs and not conservatives. He was the first. I don’t know why he just doesn’t come over from The Dark Side since the other side doesn’t respect honesty.

“... her reason why she would not vote for Trump. She said, ‘Because he has no clue.’”

Some dim bulb said that to Judge Jeanine, too, when she was doing her on-the-street interviews.

The only danger is voter fraud, we need to vote in mass and give a landslide victory

"You just put the name of some university and apparently it becomes credible, whether they know what they’re doing, or not."

Polling ain't rocket science. Honest students at a university, or even a high school can conduct an accurate poll. Few doubt the integrity of the grade school student who pulls a name out of a hat at the 50-50 raffle.

Years ago I managed a department that included a small statistical analysis group. The group was led by a man of impeccable integrity. He published his questions, his polling methods, and his complete results. Many questioned the motives of those requesting the poll. No one questioned the data. It was the integrity of the pollster that made this possible. It does not take a trove of geniuses to conduct an honest poll. It takes honest pollsters.
