War over polls intensifies
The Hill ^

Posted on 10/25/2016 5:43:45 PM PDT by bryan999

Want a tough job? Try being a pollster two weeks before Election Day.

Donald Trump is ripping pollsters and the media, arguing the surveys are biased against him because many include too many Democrats in their sampling surveys.

Conservative news sites have pounced on Trump’s arguments, pointing to a trio of national polls that show the race between the Republican presidential nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton is a toss-up.

Trump and his supporters argue that mainstream pollsters are under-sampling Republicans to account for a rise in independents, while failing to account for an enthusiasm gap that favors Trump or the new voters he could bring into the fold.

No, a) first half - no that's not the argument. If anything, the I vote is too low in many of these polls. The argument is that the best Obama got was +6D and the best Clinton (bill) was +5D. Why do you think Hillary is going to get +9 to +15%D? Second half - that's just added gravy.

I would be shocked if he didn’t win. These crowds are like nothing we have ever seen! We just need to keep praying.

After Newt’s evisceration of an obviously `rat biased Megyn Kelly, thread above (of the `Fair and Balanced’ network), if you are worried about polls just ask yourself: Do you trust the news networks?
If you answered `No’ then there’s your consolation. You can’t trust the polls.
They are done by the same people and their friends who stop just short in their one-sided coverage—as Newt points out, one night spending 23 minutes castigating Trump over spurious allegations, while spending 57 seconds vetting for Hillary—of telling us Clinton s the better choice.

The only poll that counts is not this Tuesday but the one after. And Trump is going to bury her.

“But, but that’s not what all the alphabet news guys are saying!”
OK. One more time, but in one sentence ... stop being gullible.

Remember to tell Liberals that they vote on Nov 9. They get free smart phones, EBT cards and all the KFC they can put into a shopping bag and eat.

Scary reality from your MIL.

One of our friends’s family is from Liechtenstein, Austria near Switzerland. His grandparents saw and realized what Hitler was doing. They fled to America similar to the Sound of Music theme and escaped the horror that the Nazis brought to Germany, Austria and Europe.

His dad became an US Army officer in WWII and was stationed in Germany after the war with his family. His family reunited with their few relatives, who survived Hitler and WWII.

He and his dad asked their few surviving German relatives why they stayed when it was obvious what Hitler and his Nazi thugs were doing/planning. They responded, that they didn’t/couldn’t/refused to believe what Hitler and his thugs were doing/would do to Germany/the Germans and Europe.

This friend feels that Clinton will do to American/Americans what Hitler did in a nuclear war with Russia and with even more disastrous results for us.

One has to wonder if Illary is in league with the UN’s population reduction plan.

Illiarily is one of the elites, who hates the rest of us.

She supports abortion and will use our tax dollars to provide abortions up to delivery and maybe past delivery.

As Obama/Clinton care craters cash wise, they will ration health care to the non elite. Old (55 and over) non elite people will get basic terminal treatment for most chronic diseases versus the good but costly ways to treat those chronic diseases.

In the Megyn-Newt interview I thought it was funny when she implied that Fox shouldn’t be included with the other news networks that are in the tank for Hillary — and Newt smirked at her. Who’s she trying to kid, anyhow?

Excellent!

Besides looting the White House when the serial rapist and his aide left, apparently Illiarily looted furniture from the state department.

An unnamed State Department staffer disclosed to the FBI that Hillary Clinton and her staff took lamps and furniture from the State Department to furnish Clinton’s D.C. residence, according to FBI documents.

The FBI document of this exchange is part of “The Vault,” which is a collection of documents providing evidence for federal investigators looking into Clinton’s private email server.

Most of the documents are testimonies provided to federal investigators in interviews the agents conducted with witnesses.

In one of the documents, an unnamed State Department official tells the FBI that “early in Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, she and her staff were observed removing lamps and furniture from the State Department, which were transported to her residence in Washington, D.C.”

The Clintoons for their entire adult lives have been thieves, rapists, serial killers, and traitors just listing a few of their dark sides.

Have seen what one of these polling companies does. They start reading a script in some cases so offensive to Republicans and their point of view that many Republicans would hang up on them or curse them out.
