It's unclear whether this tactic is common. But that Trump used it suggests he had a fairly seasoned team of political operators working for him months before he officially announced his entry into the 2016 White House race.

No one takes online polls seriously. They’re easily gamed by bots. We even used to “freep” such polls.

Trump used it? Gullible to believe a convicted bullshit artist and con man.

You assume what Cohen stated was truthful.
Now, I know that DeSanctimonious supporters would like to find dirt on President Trump, but given that ALL of the accusations used to try and smear President Trump in the eyes of his supporters have been proven to be lies to date, why would you choose to believe this liar??
Furthermore, since President Trump is an honest man, has he confirmed these accusations?

Where Maggie Haberman or Bob Woodward were the authors, that person tended to be Trump.

This says lots more about the reliability of polls than it does about Trump.

So Cohen did it, if illegal prosecute him. Seems like something he’d do. Nothing here suggests Trump knew or was involved.

OMG! Hillary was right! They rigged the 2016 election. I just read that the Col. dude always commenting on Urkraine losing said the 1960 election was stolen by Kennedy (we always knew that!) but Nixon did not have the stones to contest. So hear it loud. ALL elections since 1960 were rigged, So we posthumously? give Gore and Kerry and Dukakis participation trophies for their trouble. ☺
