Pence trashes polls and press: 'Don't be fooled'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 25, 2016 | Ryan Lovelace

Posted on 10/25/2016 11:48:35 AM PDT by kevcol

Pence ran to the podium in Ohio from his plane on the tarmac and delivered an energetic stump speech.

"Don't be fooled. This race is on," Pence said, his voice rising. "We're leading two national polls. We're leading in Ohio and we're going to fight all the way to the White House."

He’s doing his job - protecting Trump’s six.

A good wingman is essential.

Pence sure was an excellent choice for VP. He has it all over Kaine and can stand on his own two feet.

Guiliani and Newt have been pretty quiet...I'm sure they're working their butts off to prepare to "drain the swamp" and create an impressive cabinet.

Christie might be quiet...but he may also surprise us...I think he would like AG and be damn good at it. He may quietly be working behind the scenes.

Why the sneering condescension?

He's absolutely right.

Trump's speech last week at Gettysburg may remind us of Lincoln's words:
". . . That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln
That Trump is not Lincoln is certain. Perhaps, after the last decade of decline in American Constitutional awareness, he is only the "bell ringer" to awaken citizens to action, as well as the politicians in both Parties who failed them and the Constitution.

If those citizens seem to come from the Taxed Enough Already movement, the Christian Evangelical movement, and even from those others who have appeared to be in an almost hypnotic state of concern about America's status, then they may come from that portion of the citizenry most likely to be trustworthy arbiters in the battle between America's founding ideas and those of so-called "progressive" politicians and their mind-controller-"we-know-better-than-you" political operatives.

Many citizens within those groups have done independent study of the founding ideas, and they know that liberty is at risk when so-called "change" agents believing in the counterfeit ideas of socialism and "progressive" erasing of America's founding ideas, are in charge of the nation's future.

Remember, Paul Revere is said to have been a "peripheral" factor in the Revolutionary War for Independence, but he was an important link in that historical event which changed the world. Revere, too was a successful business man and craftsman.

Our own LS posts on his web site:

"He designed and printed the first Continental money; made the first official seal for the colonies and the seal of Massachusetts (still used today); directed the manufacture of gunpowder in Canton; and eventually commanded a garrison at Castle William in 1779. After the Revolution, Revere’s foundry provided copper accessories and other metal items for the U.S.S. Constitution , better known as “Old Ironsides.” His Revere silver to this day remains a popular style of dinner ware, and his rolling process for sheet copper provided copper plates for Robert Fulton’s Clermont, the first steam vessel. As a businessman, patriot, artist, civic leader, husband, and father, Paul Revere has remained a legendary figure of the American Revolution."
Others had to assume their individual roles as the philosophical foundation articulators who wrote the "Declaration of Independence" and framed the "Constitution of the United States of America," and served as Presidents and Legislators and Justices under the limitations and bounds of that Constitution.

If, indeed, there is a "movement," then the "movement" must assert its will to hold its leaders to strict adherence to the Constitution.

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. - Justice Joseph Story

No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country. - Daniel Webster

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. - Daniel Webster

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. - Abraham Lincoln

Mr. Pence is a decent guy in a tough situation. He has no reasonable option other than to aver that polls showing a loss are inaccurate.

That would be nice. He would be the best Vice President since Dick Cheney, by far.

The outcome is assured and there is nothing to worry about. So why are you upset?

I get upset when trolls come on threads to spread their lies.

What lie?

I said Mr. Pence is trying hard in the campaign. That is true.

I said Mr. Pence is a decent man who has no real choice other than to treat negative poll numbers as non-predictive. Those are opinions, subject to contrary opinion but not to true/false determination.

I said Mr. Pence, if elected, would be the best Vice President since Mr. Cheney. Another opinion.

So where’s the lie that has upset you?

This is exactly what you said.

The subtle implication was that there were no polls showing Trump winning.

On the contrary, there are a number of polls showing what Pence was saying is true.

That is your clever lie of omission which you left out of your statement.

It is indeed amazing what clever liars the anti-Trump people are.

Wow, even you got hoodwinked. You like the poll that says Hillary is +5 in AZ. That one oversampled rats +37%. How about the national NBC poll that said Hillary was up 7. Yes, they oversampled with D+12. Before you stress because a poll doesn’t look right, look at the internals. This is a coordinated effort to suppress our vote. And it appears to be working (At least with you).

You can tell from the Rallies that there is NO enthusiasm for Her. And yet they say 5-12 percent more D’s will vote? Really?

No Pence is helping to close the deal. No choke artists on this ticket.
